Abstract

Systems, apparatus and methods for acquiring code phase and multipath channel models in communication device. A fast Walsh transform engine is used to acquire a pseudo noise code phase and the pseudo noise code bit rate of a radiofrequency signal that has been broadcast. Multipath filter coefficients from the pseudo noise code phase and pseudo noise code bit rate are recovered. A pseudo noise generator is initialized with the pseudo noise code phase acquired during the fast Walsh transform step. The pseudo noise code phase and the pseudo noise code bit rate are tracked by a phase locked loop so that communication with the radiofrequency signal is maintained. Then, the received noise code phase and pseudo noise code bit rate are despread so that any data in the radiofrequency signal is recovered.

Fig. 1 shows a kind of spread spectrum communication system block diagram with the modulation of putting on pseudo noise (" PN ") expansion before.(" TP ") can use the structure of Fig. 1 to realize when common spread spectrum technique such as frequency hopping (" HP ") and jumping.Modulator approach is especially compatible mutually with the spread-spectrum structure of Fig. 1 with Orthodoxy Frequency Division Multiplex (" OFDM ") such as pulse position modulation (" PPM ").Shown in the left side of Fig. 1, can be contained in source 100 that transmitter in the remote-control device comprises input data, channel encoder 101, frequency mixer 102, pseudo noise (PN) code generator 103 and a modulator 104.In one embodiment, the input data 100 comprise utilize pseudo noise code (PN coding) and be encoded and utilize any suitable digital modulation technique and modulated pilot signal or beacon signal.Multiplex (MUX) 105 (also i.e. the environment of wherein operational communications system) has carried the information that is sent out, and introduces these that disturb such as multipath reflection, frequency selective attenuation, noise and narrow-band and broadband and worsens phenomenons.Shown in the right of Fig. 1, can be contained in a receiver in the base station and comprise a demodulator 106, one second frequency mixer 107, one the 2nd PN code generator 108, a channel decoder 109 and an output stream 110.
The input data 100 that be sent out in the present embodiment, are encoded as a waveform by channel encoder 101.There are many chnnel codings and decoded form available, such as block code, convolution code, turbine code and low density parity check code.Present embodiment is not limited to select the Code And Decode method.
PN code generator 103 in described transmitter produces a definite bit stream, and it is with combined from 101 encoded data stream.In one embodiment, bit stream of PN code generator 103 outputs, this bit stream has the attribute that is similar to noise and almost occurs randomly.For most of spread spectrum systems, the PN rate bit stream is several times (such as 10: 1) of input traffic rate normally.Frequency mixer 102 is combined to produce a broadband composite signal with described definite fair speed (broadband) PN sign indicating number and low speed (narrow-band) input data.From the described composite signal driven modulator 104 of frequency mixer 102, this modulator sends broadband signal by channel 105.Before data arrived demodulator 106, channel 105 usefulness noises, decay, multipath reflection, interference etc. had worsened data, and this demodulator carries out demodulation to signal and the channel degradation introduced in the multiband channel.The PN code generator 108 of this receiver produces the identical PN sign indicating number sequence synchronous with the PN code generator 103 of transceiver.Described expanded function is inverted, and initial narrowband data signal is resumed, and this knows in the prior art altogether.Channel decoder 109 decodes the bit stream that is produced to produce dateout 121.The reduction of 107 pairs of signal bandwidths of frequency mixer is to be used at frequency mixer 104 and 106 places the direct result of the synchronous broadband signal of signal extension and reduction.The reduction of signal has also been improved with being directly proportional the signal to noise ratio of received data flow at frequency mixer 107 places with bandwidth reducing.The increase of signal to noise ratio is called as processing gain.It is proportional with the ratio of the data rate that is encoded that processing gain also always is defined as extended coding speed also associatedly.For 10: 1 an extended coding speed faster than the character rate that is encoded, processing gain was 10*log (10)=10dB.
In one embodiment, modulator 104 and demodulator 106 are linear or approximately linear.Linear modulation is the modulation of deferring to stack, such as, modulation (A+B)=modulation (A)+modulation (B) also is identical for demodulation, such as, demodulation (A+B)=demodulation (A)+demodulation (B).Binary phase shift keying (" BPSK "), quadriphase PSK (" QPSK "), quadrature amplitude modulation (" QAM "), Orthodoxy Frequency Division Multiplex (" OFDM "), amplitude modulation(PAM) (" AM "), frequency modulation(FM) (" FM "), pulse amplitude modulation (" PAM "), on-off keying (" OOK ") and pulse position modulation (" PPM ") all are the examples with the compatible mutually linear modulation method of this instruction.Except should be linear or approximately linear, do not limit about modulation and demodulation scheme this instruction of aspect of the structure of Fig. 1." Digital Communications, 4 referring to calendar year 2001 John G.Proakis ThEdition (digital communication, the 4th edition) ", McGraw Hill is about the discussion of spread spectrum communication, coding/decoding method and modulation/demodulation methods.
PN code generator 103 and PN code generator 108 all produce an approximate noise but be actual be determine with the circulation PRBS pseudo-random bit sequence.As maximal-length sequence (M sequence) and a class PN sign indicating number of being known altogether can produce by linear feedback shift register (" LFSR ").For a LFSR with N bit, the M sequence binary code will have 2 N-1 length.M sequence and be in common knowledge in the industry such as other PN sign indicating numbers of JPL coding, gold code and Kasami sign indicating number, and needn't describe at this.The disclosure relates to M sequence and relevant PN sign indicating number, such as heterogeneous PN sequence and JPL sign indicating number.Also can select to be used for code generator 103 and 108 such as other extended codes of Walsh or Hadamard function.This instruction is not limited to the spectral properties of extended code.
Fig. 2 shows a selection embodiment of spread spectrum system.The direct main distinction of embodiment shown in embodiment shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 1 is the position of frequency mixer.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, frequency mixer 114 is inserted in after the modulator 113.Direct swquence spread spectrum (" DSSS ") modulation is a kind of common technology that can represent by Fig. 2.Can be contained in a transmitter in the remote-control device is illustrated on the left side of Fig. 2.This transmitter comprises an input data source 111, channel encoder 112, modulator 113, a frequency mixer 114 and a PN code generator 115.In one embodiment, the input data 111 comprise utilize pseudo noise code and be encoded and utilize any suitable digital modulation technique and modulated pilot signal or beacon signal.Represent the environment that communication system moves multiplex (MUX) 116 carryings and and worsened signal by sender to receiver broadcasting, wherein this receiver is illustrated on the right of Fig. 2.This receiver comprises one second frequency mixer 117, one the 2nd PN code generator 118, a demodulator 119 and a channel decoder that produces output stream 121.
In an embodiment opposite with embodiment shown in Fig. 1, modulator 113 and demodulator 119 can be non-linear, also can be linear, if not all then also having contained most of modulation schemes, comprising what above mentioned, comprise Continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK) and two kinds of known non-linear modulation schemes of Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM).
Fig. 3 shows the another kind of form of spread spectrum system, and multiple PN extended code sequence has been used in modulation wherein.The example that is applied to the modulator approach of Fig. 3 has cyclic code offset keying (" CCSK "), complementary code keying (" CCK " is used for 802.11), sign indicating number offset keying (" CSK "), Barker code position modulation (" BCPM "), M-ary quadrature keying (MOK), M-ary biorthogonal keying (MBOK) and orthogonal code division multiplexed (" OCDM ").This instruction is not limited to employed modulation format among Fig. 3.
Employed transmitter is illustrated on the left side of Fig. 3 in the embodiment of this communication system.123 pairs of inputs of channel encoder data 122 are encoded.Extended code generator 125 produces the bit stream of multiple PN, quadrature or nearly orthogonal, and this bit stream is provided for a modulator 124 with the data that are encoded.This modulator 124 is selected these signals or these signals are combined with the signal that is encoded, and with the signal that is combined by multiplex (MUX) 126, also be that the running environment of communication system sends.At a receiver shown in the right of Fig. 3 the signal that is broadcasted by multiplex (MUX) 126 is received.
This code generator 125 can produce two M sequences being selected by the data flow that is encoded in the modulator 124, and sends in the multiplex (MUX) 126.In one embodiment, the extended code cycle period symbol rate that equals to be encoded.
By input signal is combined with a synchronous coupling expansion code character from extended code generator 127, and will be input in the receiver demodulator 128 by the signal that multiplex (MUX) 126 sends.In one embodiment, demodulator 128 comprises and one or more input signal is carried out relevant correlator with extended code.
For restoring signal correctly, must be synchronously at the PN or the extended code generator (103 among Fig. 1 and 108,115 among Fig. 2 and 118,125 among Fig. 3 and 127) on channel both sides.In traditional communication system, the crystal in transmitter and receiver will carry out the signal that is sent out and receives synchronously.As previously discussed, crystal is set in transceiver disclosed herein brings shortcoming aspect cost and the power consumption, this just this instruction to overcome.
M sequence and other PN sequences always have narrow (bit) auto-correlation peak value, and this peak value is useful for the demultiplexing in the code division multiple access (" CDMA "), and can have problems when synchronous when the PM code phase that is sent out and receives is carried out.In lower powered of short duration communication plan, wherein radio may enter prolongation and uncertain sometimes powered down sleep period to reduce all batteries consumption, quick detection is even more important.Especially expecting to have a kind of effective ways that are used for quick PN code phase acquisition minimizes power consumption.On mathematics, code phase acquisition is the problem of slide relevant or a convolution.
Fast transform approach has been used to quicken the code phase acquisition problem and has been divided into two classes.Typically calculate the FFT of input sample based on the method for fast Fourier transform (FFT), and do the complex multiplication of a point-to-point with a reference vector, wherein this reference vector is the FFT of the PN code vector of expectation.The result vector that is produced carries out anti-FFT, produces an output vector, and this output vector equals PN sign indicating number and the convolution of input sample in all possible skew.The special PN code phase of input signal produces a peak value in output vector.
Second kind of fast transform approach is based on fast Walsh transform (" FWT "), is also referred to as quick Hadamard transformation (FHT).Walsh transformation and M sequence PN sign indicating number have special relation, and wherein the row of transformation matrix can be by displacement to produce a new matrix, and wherein the row of this new matrix is the order displacement of given PN M sequence.Be applied to code phase search problem, these input data are at first replaced, and carry out FWT then, then by decommutation.Has a peak value on the PN code phase that this output vector will be in the ascendance in the input data.FWT has superiority than FFT, because it only needs to add and subtract, has significantly reduced hsrdware requirements.
In a lot of communication systems, beacon or pilot reference signal are used to make transmitter and receiver synchronous.This beacon permission is provided with the speed of PN sequence at transmitter and receiver place, so making only needs to recover the code phase of transmitter at the receiver place.Other system, those that discuss such as going to, rely on transmitter and receiver place in the same manner the PN sequence rate be set to the stable frequency reference (such as crystal) of an enough accurate value, the so feasible phase place that only needs to recover once more the PN code generator.
In other other system, such as global positioning system (" GPS "), the PN sign indicating number cycle is very long, and frequency may obviously be shifted owing to Doppler effect owing to the high relative velocity between sending and receiving.In this case, need a two-dimensional search to change code phase and code frequency.
For the pulse communication system of using the PN sequence spreading, use such as the quick or accelerating algorithm of FWT or FFT and can't determine PN code phase and frequency.This paper provides many instructions to carry out the quick detection of PN code phase in pulse system.
In an embodiment of this instruction, a kind of method is provided, use a kind of three-dimensional search to recover code phase, frequency and the sub-sample phase of received signals.This method is useful for recovering code phase, frequency and multiplex (MUX) feature, and wherein the multiplex (MUX) feature can be used for multi-channel filter (such as RAKE) coefficient.Additional or selectable, in utilizing the low-power wireless electric system of of short duration or pulse communication, receiver can turn-off on each received bit period period ground, and can not suffer sample to mix repeatedly effect.In one embodiment, transmitter sends the signal of PN M sequential coding, and receiver is determined phase place, frequency and sub-sample phase.
Fig. 4 shows an a kind of exemplary block diagram of incoherent synchronization mechanism, and wherein this mechanism is used for code frequency, code phase and the sub-PN bit phase of the signal of a definite M sequence PN sign indicating number.The circuit of this structure is realized being present in the remote transceiver usually.Input data 135 are transported in envelope detector/amplifier 137.In one embodiment, input data 135 comprise pilot tone or the beacon signal of utilizing pulse modulation technique modulation PN sign indicating number coding and that utilize any appropriate.Additional or selectable, one or more frequency mixer (not shown), one or more filter (not shown) and/or one or more booster amplifier (not shown) can be used for before envelope detected or as the part of envelope detected input signal being converted to its base band state.The output of envelope detector/amplifier 137 is envelope signals.Be noted that and also can use for known other Front end radio receiver structures of industry those of ordinary skill.
Analog to digital converter (" ADC ") 138 receives this envelope signal and carries out digitlization.In another embodiment, before envelope detected, carry out digitlization, thereby allow envelope detected to realize with digital circuit.Fig. 5 shows the sample of a digitlization M sequential coding signal 11 of being seen in the output of ADC 138.Select among the embodiment at one, the output of ADC 138 can be a pulse signal 14, and this also is illustrated in Fig. 5.ADC 138 samples to the output of envelope detector with speed and phase place, and wherein this speed and phase place are by determining in the programmable oscillator 139 such as voltage controlled oscillator shown in Fig. 4.Be noted that many instructions here allow to use oscillator very low cost, low precision and do not need crystal.2 NA vector of-1 sequential sampling is collected, and wherein the length of M sequence is 2 N-1.This sample vector is resequenced according to a displacement mapping.The sample vector of being replaced is imported into a FWT engine 141, and this engine is carried out fast Walsh transform.The output of FWT engine 141 is imported in the peak detector 142, and this peak detector can be determined the maximum output that FWT engine 141 is produced.Decommutation function 143 can be mapped as peak a code phase.
Fig. 6 shows a typical three-dimensional search space of probe algorithm of the present invention.As shown in Figure 6, all sampling rates 15 of the time range paid close attention to containing of oscillator 139 (such as seeing Fig. 4) and sub-sample phase 16 is combined into line scanning.The scope of being paid close attention to is exactly the hunting zone, and depend on the degree of local oscillator (also this device for park mode time) drift when this device does not send, it is much to depend on that perhaps local oscillator has stood such as other factor affecting of component ageing, ambient temperature, cell voltage etc.In Fig. 5, show corresponding to one group of many sub-sample phase possible sampled point 13.Every group of sampling time 12 all is used at each FWT 18 shown in Fig. 6.On each sampling rate and sub-sample phase, 2 N-1 sample is added up, and handles by FWT engine 141.For each sampling rate and sub-sample phase, peak detector 142 has been determined the data set (2 that is being sampled N-1 point) with the maximal correlation of target P N M sequence.Have that to be determined from the oscillator sampling rate of the peak-peak of peak detector 142 and sub-sample phase be the code phase that mates most, frequency (also being sampling rate) and sub-sample phase.
In another embodiment, oscillator 139 only scans the last known sampling rate and the speed and the phase place working point of sub-sample phase and direct neighbor.This searching algorithm can obtain optimal results along the relevant gradient of peak value.Local search method and other optimisation techniques are that the industry is in common knowledge, and its selection is not construed as limiting this instruction.
In one embodiment, the receiver AFE (analog front end) only is activated time of a weak point to save energy during each PN bit period.Such as, receive envelope detector/amplifier 137 10ns that may during the PN of 100ns bit period, only be activated.The sampling of this short duration may cause a routine search in code phase and sampling rate to miss signal peak.In this embodiment, need sub-sample phase search to come successfully detectable signal.
In another embodiment, input signal uses amplitude modulation(PAM) (AM), pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), on-off keying (OOK) modulation and modulated.

PN code phase 262 can be used for PN generator 263 of initialization, producing the local form of a PN sign indicating number that is received, and itself and the signal that is detected homophase roughly.In one embodiment, oscillator 254 is programmed to the frequency and the phase place setting of detected peak value, 2 N-1 new samples is collected and is sorted, and FWT is calculated, and peak detector 260 is the same as described above with decommutation function 261 to be used to produce a current PN code phase, and this PN code phase is used to initialization PN generator 263.In the time producing slight variation may for oscillator frequency and/or phase place, this peak value re-detection may be repeated several times.The purpose of this step is the best current assessment that a current PN code phase is provided to PN correlator 264 and 267.Local PN generator 263 produces the PN sign indicating number identical with input signal, roughly homophase.In one embodiment, PN generator 263 provides clock pulse by oscillator 254.By the 263 PN sign indicating numbers that produced be imported into one the morning/late correlator block 264, this piece 264 comprises at least two correlators as phase correlator, this correlator block provides a signal, this signal is at first filtered in loop filter 265, be fed to then oscillator 254 with according to this morning/late signal regulates its frequency.Oscillator 254, ADC 255 and 256, magnitude calculator 257, early/late correlator 264, PN generator 263 and loop filter 265 constitute phase-locked loops (" PLL "), input PN sign indicating number bit frequency and phase place are followed the tracks of in this phase-locked loop.Allow this loop to start to the initialization of PN generator 263 or, make that morning/late correlator 264 is in the scope that correct signal is provided by initial p N code phase near correct frequency and phase place.Frequency during the FWT search procedure and phase step must be enough meticulous, so that allow to realize the parts locking initial value of PLL.
In another embodiment, utilize one the 2nd PN sign indicating number and one second data-signal being encoded can from transmitter be sent out and with a PN sign indicating number overlaid that is used for PLL.One the 2nd PN generator 266 can produce the sign indicating number identical with this PN numeric data code, and wherein to allow one or more correlators 267 with a PN code phase synchronised time be the data flow 268 of a despreading with the output transform of this magnitude calculator 257 to this PN numeric data code.In another embodiment, a PN sign indicating number that is used for locking mechanism is a M sequence code.In another embodiment, these second data PN sign indicating number is and the equal in length of a PN sign indicating number that is used to lock or short M sequence code.In an alternative, the length that is used for the 2nd PN sign indicating number of growth data is the multiple that is used for the PN code length of PLL, and these data PN generator 266 must cycle through a plurality of start-phase, up to the output maximum of this correlator 267.
Perhaps, the 2nd PN sign indicating number is not the multiple of a PN sign indicating number, and uses a kind of alternative method of data synchronization.Such as, length is 2 NThe repetition beacon sequence of a PN sign indicating number of-1 can be replaced by sometimes one with the expression frame period boundary line length alternative PN sequence identical or inequality.One second correlator (not shown) is monitored by the beacon signal of demodulation to determine existing of the 2nd PN sequence.If the 2nd PN sequence is detected, this transceiver restarts a frame counter (not shown) so, and wherein this counter receives whenever that then a PN sequence just adds one.The data of carrying the 2nd PN sign indicating number therein are longer than under the situation of a PN beacon-code, can regularly establish this second code phase clearly in the border with respect to frame.Like this, sequential is longer than the idea of a PN sequence and can be carried out between base station and remote transceiver synchronously, and the 2nd long PN sign indicating number easy to use carries out transfer of data.Can understand that for the people who is familiar with the industry many similar frame synchornization methods can be replaced, and not break away from the category of this instruction.
Fig. 9 shows and is used for a kind of alternative incoherent block diagram that the PN sign indicating number locking of use PLL and multi-channel filter was surveyed, passed through to the PN coding.In one embodiment, the operation of system shown in Fig. 9 is included in four key steps shown in Figure 13.First step is to survey PN code phase and PN sign indicating number bit rate 290, also promptly determines an approximate correct sampling rate.Second step is to catch multi-channel filter coefficient 292 from the FWT data.Third step is an initialization PN generator 294.The 4th step is locking and the received data 196 of despreading of PLL.In case finish these steps, code phase is just locked with regard to the signal that has been detected and has been broadcasted so, makes that so base station transceiver and remote transceiver can swap datas.
The detection 290 of PN code phase and PN sign indicating number bit rate is in fact realizing with the described identical mode of preamble, and the input data 170 that also promptly have a beacon signal are at first detected and be transformed to a baseband signal by envelope detector/amplifier 172 or its equivalent device.In an alternative, this envelope detector/amplifier 172 and a described mixer/amplifier and the down conversion local oscillator (not shown) of being replaced by similarly of preamble.This signal is digitized with speed and the sub-PN bit phase that programmable oscillator 174 sets by ACD 173 then.This oscillator is programmed to a series of search points in the sub-PN bit phase/sample-rate space shown in Fig. 6 then, all carries out 2 on each space NSample for-1 time, and be arranged with replacing by 175.Carrying out 176, one peak detectors 177 of FWT on the data vector of each displacement is used for classification as a result.At the end of search phase (step 290), best sample frequency and sub-sample phase are obtained.
In an embodiment shown in the sample graph of Fig. 5, for each sub-PN bit phase 13 has been carried out repeatedly sampling.A plurality of PN bit phase vectors can be assembled, and such as 12 among Fig. 5, one of the sub-PN bit phase that each is studied is imported in the FWT engine 176 then.Such as, ADC 173 can be in the PN bit period of 100 nanoseconds with cycle (10 of a nanosecond 9Inferior samples/sec) samples (100x over-sampling).Similarly, can all make up one group 2 in 100 sub-PN bit phase each NThe sample vector of-1 length.Using FWT engine 176 and 177 pairs of all 100 sample vectors of peak detector to carry out peak value determines.In case the global peak of all 100 FWT operations is determined, can recover near the residual F WT output this peak value so, to create a time-domain model of multiplex (MUX) 105,116,126.This multichannel model snapshot (snapshot) can be used for multi-channel filter 181 is programmed.
In order to catch the multi-channel filter coefficient from the FWT data, step 292 is used to obtain the FWT result of frequency, and the two-dimensional result block 19 such as Fig. 6 is programmed in the multichannel matched filter 181 as tap weight.The sub-PN bit phase output of FWT is directly proportional with multipath reflection in the input signal of source PN code signal.In one embodiment, FWT results of all search points are stored in the memory (not shown), in case and peak sample rate be known, then multichannel matched filter 181 taps (Fig. 9) are taken out in programming from this memory.Before in being programmed into this multichannel matched filter 181, this FWT result is by decommutation 180.In an alternative, in case peak sample rate is known that then programmable oscillator 174 is set to this optimum frequency, and tests a plurality of phase places, to produce FWT result again and to catch multichannel matched filter 181 coefficients.In an alternative, this multi-channel filter coefficient is set to a nonce, further improvement after PLL locking and despreading are received data then, and PLL once just locks onto input signal.
For initialization PN generator 294, be used to come initialization PN generator 182 from the PN code phase data 179 of FWT/ decommutation function (such as seeing Fig. 9, piece 178).In one embodiment, after the best ADC sampling rate of search, programmable oscillator 174 is set to this best sampling rate.An additional permute/FWT/ decommutation is performed to find current PN code phase 179, and this code phase is used to initialization PN generator 182.
Have the data that are encoded in the input signal 170.Typically, input data 170 have a plurality of message of using long PN sign indicating number simultaneously and being encoded, and this long PN sign indicating number is added on this signal.In order to make PLL locking and the received data of despreading, step 296, correlator 183 provides a correction signal to tracking filter 159, and these tracking filter 159 driving oscillators 174 are to constitute a PLL.This PLL comprises oscillator 174, ADC 173, multi-channel filter 181, correlator 183 and tracking filter 159.In addition, this correlator 183 also extracts despread data 184, may also utilize among one or more and this PLL employed different PN sign indicating number to encode.In addition,, can carry out a series of FWT or relevant, to be provided with, to improve or to follow the tracks of multichannel matched filter 181 coefficients in case PLL is locked.

Figure 11 shows a kind of coherent signal phase acquisition block diagram.Input signal 185 the is imported in the quadrature mixer/filter/amplifier 187 as previously mentioned, and this quadrature mixer/filter/amplifier 187 produces I and Q baseband signals.These signals are digitized by ADC190 and 191.This quadrature mixer/filter/amplifier 187 drives by a local quadrature oscillator 188, wherein this quadrature oscillator 188 reference signal that two 90 degree out-phase are provided to this frequency mixer with to the input signal down conversion.This ADC is used to use a clock that obtains such as a division circuit 189 and be driven from quadrature oscillator frequency.In one embodiment, the phase relation between ADC 190 191 clocks and quadrature oscillator 188 must be relatively-stationary and stable, to allow coherent detection.
The output of each ADC (ADC 190 and ADC191) preferably keeps separating, and so makes signal-to-noise characteristic increase.The composition of each quadrature is all by the displacement rearrangement.See piece 192 and 193.Then, the orthogonal component that reorders of each displacement all is imported into FWT 194,195 and handles.FWT 194 is combined at piece 196 places to find out the relevant value of plural number with 195 output.By carry out magnitude/peak detection after despreading, signal to noise ratio increases.FWT result's peak value has been determined in this peak value detection 196, and this peak value is remapped by decommutation function 197 then, to produce output PN code phase 198.When comparing with incoherent detection, the advantage of coherent detection comprises ability preferably and the high processing gain that suppresses noise.But, normally to carry out in order to make coherent detection, quadrature oscillator 188 and the ADC sampling rate that is produced by piece 189 must have a fixed phase relation.Known in the prior art have many methods to fix two phase relations between the oscillator, comprises frequency division, phase-locked loop (PLL) and delay-locked loop (" DLL ").This instruction is not limited to remain on the method for stationary phase between ADC sampling rate and the quadrature oscillator 188.Be noted that the system that realizes coherent detection since need between fixed oscillator 188 and the ADC 190,191 phase relation and will be more expensive than those systems that realize incoherent detection.
Figure 12 shows based on a kind of relevant PN code phase acquisition of the relevant PN sign indicating number detection system of Figure 11, plural multi-channel filter and data despreading system block diagram.In one embodiment, the system of Figure 12 carries out following method, and this method is illustrated in Figure 14.Should relevant PN code phase acquisition method survey PN code phase and PN sign indicating number bit rate 300.In second step, utilize the complex conjugate of FWT data this plural number multi-channel filter coefficient 310 of programming.In third step, this PN generator is initialised 320.The 4th step is locking and the received data 330 of despreading of PLL.In case finish these steps, code phase just is detected so, and the signal that is broadcasted is just locked, makes that so base station transceiver and remote transceiver can swap datas.
So in these steps or some, input signal 200 is imported in the quadrature mixer/filter/amplifier 202 as described above similarly.This quadrature mixer/filter/amplifier 202 drives by a quadrature oscillator 203 able to programme, and this quadrature oscillator 203 provides two reference signals that are nominally 90 degree out-phase to be used for down-conversion process, and this is that prior art is in common knowledge.By the orthogonal signalling of down conversion, I and Q are imported in two ADC204 and 205, and wherein these two ADC carry out digitlization with a sampling rate that sets by piece 206 to I and Q signal.Piece 206 provides a sampling clock that has fixed phase relationship with quadrature oscillator 203.In one embodiment, piece 206 produces a clock than low velocity with the quadrature oscillator clock divided by a fixing number.Be used to realize that other phase places, frequency or the delay-locked loop of identical functions are that prior art is in common knowledge, and can replace 206 or 203.
In the first step of relevant PN code phase acquisition method, survey PN code phase and PN sign indicating number bit rate 300, this quadrature oscillator and I and Q sampled signal are combined into length 2 N-1 vector (identical with the length of input PN M sequence) is resequenced by permutation function 207 and 208, is input to two FWT pieces 209 and 210 then, each one of I and Q.FWT piece 209 and 210 output are imported in the magnitude peak detector 210, wherein this magnitude peak detector 210 the RMS that calculates FWT I and Q vector on the pointwise basis or other functions that is similar to value (also promptly in value vector as a result 2 N-1 point).This magnitude peak detector 211 finds and notes down the sampling rate and the peak phase of maximum magnitude point then.When in step 300, surveying PN code phase and PN sign indicating number bit rate, ADC 204 and 205 programmable sample rate and the inswept a series of checking operating point of frequency of phase place and quadrature oscillator 203.In one embodiment, this quadrature oscillator 203 and divider 206 change independently of each other.In another embodiment, change the divisor ratio M in the piece 206, between quadrature oscillator and ADC sampling rate, keep a definite phase relation with requirement according to coherent detection.By replacing with PLL or DLL with 206, PLL or DLL also can be used for the search of independently similar or phase locking.
Peak value value throughput value peak value on the hunting zone detects piece 211 to be determined, wherein this magnitude peak detects piece 211 index is sent to a decommutation function 214 to recover PN code phase 219.This PN code phase 219 is used for the one or more PN generators 221 of initialization, and this PN generator 221 is used to be provided with the PLL lock function when initialization PN generator (step 320) after a while and data are recovered.
At searching period, the output of FWT piece (209 and 210) is hunted down in two random access memory (" RAM ") 212 and 213.In case peak value is known, use the peak sample rate of a selector 215 so to determine, from RAM 212 and 213, read one section 3D FWT Search Results 19.This selector returns near I and the QFWT result peak value PN code phase, comprises PN code phase and sub-PN bit phase, with multipath effect in multipath effect between cover symbol and the symbol.Such as, if the designer need carry out the multichannel filtering of 300 nanoseconds with the PN sign indicating number bit period of one 100 nanosecond and 1GHz ADC sampling rate, this selector will return 300 points (100 sub-PN bit points multiply by three PN code phases) so, this selector provides the correlated results (plural number) of 300 nanoseconds, wherein each one nanosecond of step-length.FWT result 19 2D fragment is serialized near this peak F WT value, to recover a 1D multichannel model longer arbitrarily than single PN bit period.The every bit of the 1D multichannel model that is resumed provides a high-resolution sub-PN bit multichannel model all corresponding to a sub-PN bit phase step relative offset.The output of selector 215 is plural multichannel models with channel of sub-PN bit phase resolution.
The Q composition of this multichannel model,, is loaded to a plural number coupling multi-channel filter 220 to form selecteed FWT result's complex conjugate by anti-phase then by phase inverter 218.To carry out plural number relevant with input signal data from ADC 204 and 205 then for plural number multi-channel filter 220.In an alternative, this plural number multi-channel filter is a plural RAKE filter.Near the complex conjugate of the M maximum magnitude during in another embodiment, this RAKE tap coefficient is set to passing through peak detector 211 determined FTW peak values.
In third step 320, the PN code phase of being surveyed in first step 219 is used to the code phase of the one or more PN generators 221 of initialization, and this PN generator offers two or more correlators 222 and 223 with their one or more PN sign indicating numbers that produce in turn.This plural number multi-channel filter 220 provides a plural I and Q filtering signal, and this filtering signal carries out relevant in correlator 222 and 223, is imported into one or more signals in the tracking filter 225 with generation.In one embodiment, this correlator 222 is relevant morning/evening with 223 execution, and one or more acceleration signals are transferred to tracking filter 225.
In one embodiment, this tracking filter 225 provides a coherent signal to quadrature oscillator 203, and by the fixed relationship between quadrature oscillator 203 and the ADC sampling clock divider/DLL/PLL 206 the ADC sampling rate is proofreaied and correct.In another embodiment, this quadrature oscillator 203 is the independently oscillators of free-running operation.
This correlator 222 and 223 also can carry out input multichannel filtering data flow and other PN sign indicating numbers on overlapping onto input signal 200 relevant, with encoded data stream.This optional data PN sign indicating number can be identical or different with the length of described phase acquisition code.In one embodiment, the PN code length of detection is longer than the PN code length that is used for transfer of data, preventing the ambiguousness in these data PN code phase, and is used for reducing the size of the error that the noise owing to filter coefficient causes.In another embodiment, the length of being surveyed with data PN sign indicating number is at double, to be reduced in the complexity of phase coordination between FWT and the correlator.
It (promptly is not 2 that the code length of PN sign indicating number that is detected and data PN sign indicating number may be expanded a bit yet N-1 but 2 N), to keep a simple length multiple relation.Such as, a PN acquisition code may be 2048 bit long, a data PN sign indicating number may be 512 bit long, and the relation of factor 4 is arranged.Perhaps, if should survey the PN sign indicating number than data PN code length, the data PN sign indicating number of one group of order can replenish additional bit so, with the equal in length that is detected the PN sign indicating number.This correlator 222 and 223 and PN generator 221 can suitably shift to an earlier date or delayed data PN sign indicating number, suitably to keep the data extract phase place.Such as, if this detection PN code length is 2047 (=2 11-1), and data PN code length be 511 (2 9-1), the data PN code length that can utilize 3 quilts to replenish an additional bit so makes up four numeric data codes with the length with this detection PN sign indicating number be complementary (such as 512+512+512+511=2047).
