  • Apparatus for rapid interference cancellation and despreading of a CDMA waveform
    Patent number: 5629929
    Abstract: A receiver performs rapid adaptive interference canceling for use in despreading multiple CDMA channels sharing the same RF front end. The receiver includes a buffer (22) for providing for overlapping time samples and rate adaptation, a windowing function (24) for improving interference rejection capability and a FFT (26) for calculating the input power spectrum. The receiver further includes a circuit (28, 30) to whiten the input power spectrum. The whitened power spectrum is multiplied (32) against the frequency domain version of different spreading sequences and the inverse FFT (40) of the product is performed. The output of this inverse FFT is buffered (44) to provide multiple despread output channels, with a plurality of code phases for further processing.
