  • Patent number: 8565288
    Abstract: A method for performing delay locked looping upon a received signal which reduces the asymmetry of auto-correlation function resulting from sampling is provided. The received signal is a spread spectrum code signal, and the method includes: generating a plurality of replica spread spectrum code signals according to an estimated code phase delay and phase spacing, the replica spread spectrum code signals having phases respectively different from the phase of the received signal; calculating a spread spectrum code error statistics signal according to the replica spread spectrum code signals and the received signal; and adjusting the estimated code phase delay according to the spread spectrum code error statistics signal and a phase difference between a sampled point of at least one replica spread spectrum code signal and a corresponding signal transition point.

  • Patent number: 8537940
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes: a frequency down-converting circuit for receiving a wireless signal and for performing frequency down-conversion on the wireless signal to output a frequency down-converted signal; a first training circuit for performing frequency comparison between the frequency down-converted signal and a plurality of candidate carrier signals having different frequencies so as to determine a plurality of selected carrier signals from the candidate carrier signals; a second training circuit for performing phase comparison between the frequency down-converted signal and phases of a pseudo-noise sequence at each of the selected carrier signals so as to determine a matching phase and a matching carrier; and a demodulator for demodulating the frequency down-converted signal according to the matching carrier and the matching phase so as to generate a demodulated signal.

  • Publication number: 20130044839
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless apparatus and the processing method thereof. The wireless apparatus according to the present invention comprises a demodulating circuit, a computing circuit, and a compensating circuit. The demodulating circuit receives and demodulates an input signal for producing a baseband signal. The computing circuit is coupled to the demodulating circuit and receives the baseband signal. It performs inner product on the baseband signal for producing an output signal. The compensating circuit is coupled to the computing circuit, and produces and transmits a compensation signal to the demodulating circuit according to the output signal for adjusting the demodulating circuit. Accordingly, by means of the computing circuit according to the present invention, erroneous outputs sent to the compensation circuit due to erroneous judgment of a signal received with large frequency deviation can he avoided effectively, and hence enhancing the efficiency of the wireless apparatus.
