  • Patent number: 7376114
    Abstract: A code multiplexing transmitting apparatus spread-spectrum modulates transmission data of a plurality of channels by spreading codes that differ from one another, combines the spread-spectrum signals of each of the channels and transmits the resultant spread-spectrum modulated signal. A spread-spectrum modulating unit for each channel includes a phase shifter for shifting, by a predetermined angle channel by channel, the phase of a position vector of the spread-spectrum modulated signal of each channel. As the result of such phase control, the phases of pilot signal portions of the spread-spectrum modulated signals of the respective channels are shifted relative to one another so that the peak values of the code-multiplexed signal can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 7224720
    Abstract: The present invention reduces the scale of circuitry and shortens the code phase detection time needed to achieve initial synchronization. In a correlator for calculating correlation between a received spreading code contained in a received spread-spectrum signal and a reference spreading code, a combined code generator is included. The combined code generator outputs a combined spreading code by weighting and combining a plurality of phase-shifted reference spreading codes A1–AM. Further, an arithmetic circuit calculates correlation between the received spreading code and the plurality of phase-shifted reference spreading codes simultaneously. A phase detection circuit detects the phase difference between the received spreading code and a reference spreading code, namely the phase of the received spreading code from the results of the arithmetic operation.

  • Patent number: 6757346
    Abstract: When an antenna receives a signal, the signal is inputted to delayers through a frequency converter, A/D converters, quadrature demodulators, filters and simultaneously is inputted to a MUX. The receiving signal inputted to the MUX is transmitted to an interference canceler panel, and the interference canceler panel generates both an interference replica signal and a symbol replica signal. The interference canceler panel demodulates the receiving signal for a channel corresponding to the symbol replica signal using both the interference and symbol replica signals. The interference replica signal generated by the interference canceler panel is transmitted to a transmitting/receiving panel and is inputted to interference elimination units. The interference elimination units eliminates interference components by subtracting the interference replica signal from the receiving signal delayed by the delayers and transmits the signal to a baseband signal processing panel.

  • Patent number: 6754256
    Abstract: A searcher for a CDMA receiver apparatus includes a correlator obtaining a correlation value between a spreading code sequence and a spreading code sequence within a received signal, and a non-linear processor carrying out a non-linear conversion to convert one of the correlation value and a predetermined value indicative of the correlation value into correlation value information which has a data width smaller than that of the one of the correlation value and the predetermined value. The correlation value information is used to carry out a search process to search for a synchronizing timing with respect to the spreading code sequence within the received signal.

  • Patent number: 6563859
    Abstract: A multi-carrier signal received by an antenna is converted into a signal of an IF band by an RX, and converted into an I signal and a Q signal by an quadrature detector. The I signal and the Q signal as multi-carrier signals are converted into digital signals by an A/D converter, and input to complex filters. The complex filters extract a complex signal having a specified carrier. Then, complex filters shift the center frequency of the extracted complex signal into 0 Hz. The obtained base band signal is input to a finger, and despread and demodulated. The despread and demodulated signal is RAKE synthesized by a synthesis unit, and transmitted to a signal discrimination unit.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a demodulator which receives a signal transmitted via phase modulation or multivalue QAM modulation, and decides transmitted data based on the received signal. The present invention enhances a transmission-line estimate by using tentatively decided data symbols as pilot symbols and in estimating a transmission line without a decrease in accuracy of transmission-line estimate even when an error rate of the tentatively decided data symbols is increased. The demodulator includes a pilot-based transmission-line estimation unit for estimating transmission-line characteristics by using pilot symbols. A tentative-data-decision unit for tentatively deciding data symbols based on the pilot-based transmission-line estimate.
