Abstract

In an antenna switchover receiving system and a transmitting system corresponding to the antenna switchover receiving system, the systems do not process heavy burden processing, and antennas in high signal quality are correctly chosen, and the systems are in simple and low cost structure, so influence of horizontal fluctuation caused by multipath declination is reduced. When a unique word detection portion detects any first unique word (UW1) in a plurality of first unique words (UW1) which are formed by same bit strings, a signal processing portion detects quality of received wireless signals in a first set time (T1). Then, after an antenna control portion switch over the antennas, the signal processing portion also detects quality of the wireless signals received by switched antenna in second set time (T2). An antenna control portion chooses the antenna whose signal quality detected by the signal processing portion is high to receive later effectively load.

Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of antenna that switched antenna receives in wireless communication system and switch receiving system etc.
Background technology
In wireless communication system, list as one of problem the level being caused by multipath decline (Multipath Fading) deteriorated.The signal that reception antenna receives is not only the signal that is directly inputted to reception antenna from transmitting antenna, also has the signal of inputting via multiple different paths.Therefore, the signal (multipath) with different time of delay is also imported into reception antenna, thereby overlaps each other, cancels out each other etc. and cause reception level deteriorated at reception antenna end place signal.Here it is is called as by the multipath deteriorated phenomenon of level causing that declines.
As for avoiding this by the decline representative countermeasure of the deteriorated impact of the level that causes of multipath, there are the Multicarrier Transmission Technologies such as OFDM.It is following technology: the information of transmission is divided into multiple carrier waves (subcarrier (sub carrier)) and transmits with wide frequency band, therefore can reduce by the multipath deteriorated impact of level causing that declines.But, in OFDM transmission, the labyrinth that need to convert to process to frequency axis and time shaft by inverse fourier transform and Fourier transform, thus cause circuit scale to increase, therefore existence is difficult to realize the shortcoming of cost degradation.
The countermeasure of " synthetic diversity " that in addition, " switched diversity (diversity) ", " selection diversity " and the reception signal by each antenna of existence based on multiple antennas are switched synthesizes.The impact that these countermeasures have been utilized multipath decline is according to the plane of polarization of the position of receiver, electric wave etc. and different characteristics." selection diversity " is the technology that monitors in advance the reception level of multiple antennas and receive signal by best antenna, but becomes large shortcoming because the receiver of number that need to be suitable with the number of antenna exists circuit scale.In addition, " synthetic diversity " be make by multiple antenna receptions to the phase place of signal unanimously carry out synthetic technology, but also due to the receiver of number that need to be suitable with the number of antenna and make the consistent phase shifter of phase place of each signal exist circuit scale to become large shortcoming.
" switched diversity " is following a kind of technology: in an antenna, have the impact of multipath decline, reduce the impact of multipath decline by switching to another antenna.In recent years, due to the universal of portable radio machine, antenna switching part is also required to miniaturization, cost degradation, owing to forming and develop easily and circuit scale is little and " switched diversity " that can realize cost degradation is equipped in various wireless devices by a receiver.
But, in " switched diversity ", the reception level of the unclear antenna that switches destination before switched antenna.Therefore, there is following shortcoming: if the reception level at the antenna place of switching destination is lower, have to receive signal under worse condition.

Antenna when Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 represent to detect unique word UW1 by antenna A and B switches action etc.The solid line part receiving in signal is the signal arriving by each antenna reception.In addition, in the following description, for convenience's sake, the antenna that is receiving wireless signal (movable (active)) in the time that preamble test section 44 and unique word test section 45 detect preamble and unique word UW1 is at first made as to antenna A.Fig. 4 represents that the reception level of the wireless signal receiving by antenna A is than the high situation of reception level of the wireless signal receiving by antenna B, and Fig. 5 represents that the reception level of the wireless signal receiving by antenna B is than the high situation of reception level of the wireless signal receiving by antenna A.
In Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the preamble sending is for the first time not detected because antenna is switched in its receiving course, and the preamble sending is for the second time received by antenna A, is detected by preamble test section 44.In the time preamble being detected, start to detect reception level by RF portion 41.Afterwards, detect reception level with the sampling period stipulating.In addition, the unique word UW1 that then preamble sends is detected by unique word test section 45.Till the detection of reception level lasts till and detects unique word UW1, the information relevant with detected reception level is successively stored in signal processing part 51.Signal processing part 51 its mean value of reception level calculation (being made as RA) based on stored.
In the time unique word UW1 being detected, represent that the signal of this meaning is exported and is input to signal processing part 51 from unique word test section 45.Represent to detect that the signal of unique word UW1 is transferred to antenna control part 52 from signal processing part 51, antenna control part 52 represents the instruction of switched antenna to 3 outputs of antenna switching part, and antenna is switched to antenna B.Afterwards, the preamble sending is for the third time received by antenna B, is detected by preamble test section 44.In the time preamble being detected, during with antenna A, similarly, detect reception level with the sampling period stipulating, detect unique word UW1.The information relevant with the reception level of antenna B and the above-mentioned information relevant with the reception level of antenna A are distinguished and is successively stored in signal processing part 51, signal processing part 51 its mean value of reception level calculation (being made as RB) based on stored.
The RA being calculated by signal processing part 51 and RB are imported into antenna control part 52.Antenna control part 52 compares the RA being calculated by signal processing part 51 and RB, and the antenna that can obtain high signal quality is chosen as the antenna for receiving payload.
In Fig. 4, the reception level of antenna A is higher than the reception level of antenna B, i.e. therefore RA>RB thinks that the quality of the wireless signal that the mass ratio of the wireless signal that receives by antenna A receives by antenna B is high.Therefore, antenna control part 52 compares the RA being calculated by signal processing part 51 and RB the antenna A that receives higher level is chosen as to the antenna for receiving payload.Thus, antenna is switched to antenna A again, is fixed as antenna A until receive this bag.Thereby the preamble, unique word UW1 and the virtual data that send for the 4th time are received by antenna A, preamble, unique word UW2 and payload afterwards are also received by antenna A.
In Fig. 5, the reception level of antenna B is higher than the reception level of antenna A, i.e. therefore RB>RA thinks that the quality of the wireless signal that the mass ratio of the wireless signal that receives by antenna B receives by antenna A is high.Therefore, antenna control part 52 compares the RA being calculated by signal processing part 51 and RB the antenna B that receives higher level is chosen as to the antenna for receiving payload.Thus, until receive not switched antenna and be fixed as antenna B of this bag.Thereby the preamble, unique word UW1 and the virtual data that send for the 4th time are received by antenna B, preamble, unique word UW2 and payload afterwards are also received by antenna B.
Fig. 6 is expressed as follows situation: the preamble etc. sending is for the second time received by antenna A and detected by preamble test section 44 etc., and switching to antenna B after, the preamble of transmission is not detected by preamble test section 44 for the third time.In the time the unique word UW1 sending for the second time being detected, immediately switch to thereafter antenna B, the preamble therefore sending for the third time is in fact from the starting received by antenna B.Thereby, from the wireless signal receiving by antenna B, detect the required minimum times such as preamble and equate with the time that sends one group of preamble and unique word UW1.Therefore, in the case of not detecting for the third time the preamble that sends etc., both can receive the preamble that sends for the 4th time etc. by antenna B, also can immediately antenna be switched to as shown in Figure 6 to antenna A.The former in the situation that, the second stipulated time T2 is set to the time suitable with the twice in transmission cycle of preamble and unique word UW1, can obtain twice use antenna B and detect the chance of preamble etc.Thereby the chance that can detect the reception level of antenna B increases, thereby can further suitably carry out the selection of antenna.In the latter case, the second stipulated time T2 is set to the time suitable with the transmission cycle of preamble and unique word UW1, the length setting of virtual data can be obtained to the short payload shared ratio in bag that increases.The length setting of virtual data can be obtained to short the reasons are as follows.For example, in the case of the unique word UW1 that detects at first the 4th time by antenna A (with reference to Fig. 7), antenna can be switched to antenna B and receive virtual data.Now, use antenna B to detect twice preamble etc. if be configured to as the former, need the virtual data in two cycles of preamble and unique word UW1.On the other hand, by as the latter, the chance that uses antenna B to detect preamble etc. being restricted to once, with the virtual data of the one-period of preamble and unique word UW1.
In the latter case, from the wireless signal receiving by antenna B, preamble etc. do not detected, therefore think that its signal quality is not sufficient to receive payload.In addition, can also think RB=0.Thereby the antenna A that antenna control part 52 can obtain sufficiently high signal quality is chosen as the antenna for receiving payload, antenna is switched to antenna A again, is fixed as antenna A until receive this bag.In the situation that thinking RB=0, also carry out identical action.In addition, if although can detect that by antenna B preamble can not detect UW1, with the above-mentioned antenna A that similarly switches to.Later action is identical with Fig. 4.
Fig. 7 is expressed as follows situation: the preamble etc. sending for the 4th time is received by antenna A, is detected by preamble test section 44 grades as preamble initial in this bag etc.In this case, after the unique word UW1 sending for the 4th time being detected, switch to antenna B, receive virtual data.
Virtual data refers to the data that are made up of the bit string that is different from preamble, is switch temporal delay of receiving system 1 while again switching to antenna A from antenna B and send from transmitting system in order to give antenna.Thereby the data length of virtual data is set to be greater than and equals the data length of preamble and the data length sum of unique word UW1, i.e. the second stipulated time T2.
Virtual data by and preamble and unique word UW1 and UW2 between the low bit string of correlation form.This is to be preamble and unique word UW1 and UW2 for fear of preamble test section 44 and unique word test section 45 by virtual data error detection.Expect, the correlation of correlation, virtual data and unique word UW1 and the correlation of virtual data and unique word UW2 of each bit string being set for to virtual data and preamble are minimum.But, as long as above-mentioned correlation low to can prevent preamble test section 44 and unique word test section 45 error detection degree, need only above-mentioned correlation be less than setting, just can not produce the problem in practicality.
As shown in Figure 7, in the situation that receiving virtual data by antenna B, can not detect preamble by preamble test section 44, can not detect unique word UW1 by unique word test section 45.In addition, although the preamble etc. sending is for the second time received by antenna B, preamble etc. do not detect by preamble test section 44 grades, therefore think the of low quality of the signal that receives by antenna B.Thereby the antenna A that antenna control part 52 can obtain sufficiently high signal quality is chosen as the antenna for receiving payload, antenna is switched to antenna A again, is fixed as antenna A until receive this bag.Later action is identical with Fig. 4.
Fig. 8 represents that antenna switches the action of receiving system 1.First, in the last stage of detecting unique word UW1, with alternately switched antenna A, B (#1) of specified period.The specified period of switched antenna is for example two cycles of preamble and unique word UW1, i.e. the first stipulated time T1.In the time that antenna is switched, the detection of the bit string of preamble and unique word UW1 be reset (#2).The detection of the bit string of preamble and unique word UW1 is reset and refers to the processing of ending the detection of bit string and restart detection from initial position.Now, unique word UW1 is set as to the bit string that unique word test section 45 should detect., start to detect unique word UW1.It is the reason based on following that the detection of preamble test section 44 and unique word test section 45 bit strings resets.That is, for prevent which part reception signal that following situation: RFIC 4 inputs from antenna switching part 3 because None-identified goes out by which antenna reception to, therefore mistake the antenna that receives preamble and unique word.For example, in order to prevent following situation: near the end of the bit string of unique word, switch to antenna B from antenna A, although received the major part of bit string by antenna A, think that the antenna B by receiving last part receives whole bit string by mistake.
Receive wireless signal by be set as movable antenna by switching, search for preamble (#3) by preamble test section 44.In the time preamble being detected by preamble test section 44 (#4: "Yes"), start to detect reception level (#5).The antenna that now receives wireless signal is made as to antenna A.Sampling period with regulation is detected reception level, and the value of this reception level is successively stored in signal processing part 51 (in #12 too).In #4, in #2 the detection of bit strings reset after preamble detection continue the first stipulated time, the in the situation that of preamble not detected within the first stipulated time, (#4: "No"), turns back to #1.At this, the first stipulated time referred to the time suitable with two cycles of preamble and unique word UW1, after the detection of bit strings resets in #2, started counting.Unique word UW1 detected after the detection at preamble time (#6: "Yes"), finish the detection (#7) of reception level.In #6, in the first stipulated time that the detection of unique word UW1 starts to calculate after the reset detecting from the bit string #2, continue.The in the situation that of unique word UW1 not detected within the first stipulated time (#6: "No"), finish the detection of reception level, turn back to #1.
In the time that the detection of the reception level of antenna A finishes, (#8), antenna is switched to antenna B (#9) by antenna control part 52 to the reception level calculation mean value (RA) of signal processing part 51 based on stored.In the time that antenna has been carried out to switching, with #2 similarly, the detection of the bit string to preamble and unique word UW1 reset (#9A).Then, receive wireless signal by the antenna B after switching, search for preamble (#10) by preamble test section 44.In the time preamble being detected by preamble test section 44 (#11: "Yes"), start to detect reception level (#12).In #11, in #9A the detection of bit strings reset after preamble detection continue the second stipulated time, as shown in Fig. 6 or Fig. 7, the in the situation that of preamble not detected within the second stipulated time, (#11: "No"), transfers to #19.This is can not obtain enough signal qualitys owing to can being judged as by antenna B.At this, the second stipulated time referred to the time suitable with the one-period of preamble and unique word UW1, after the detection of bit strings resets in #9A, started counting.Unique word UW1 detected after the detection at preamble time (#13: "Yes"), finish the detection (#14) of reception level.In #11, in the second stipulated time that the detection of unique word UW1 continues to start to calculate reset afterwards from the detection of bit strings #9A, continue.The in the situation that of unique word UW1 not detected within the second stipulated time (#13: "No"), finish the detection of reception level, and transfer to #19.This is can not obtain enough signal qualitys owing to can being judged as by antenna B.
In the time that the detection of the reception level of antenna B finishes, (#15), mean value RA and the RB of the reception level being calculated by signal processing part 51 are compared (#16) by antenna control part 52 to the reception level calculation mean value (RB) of signal processing part 51 based on stored.The in the situation that of RA<RB as shown in Figure 5 (#17: "Yes"), antenna B is chosen as the antenna for receiving payload by antenna control part 52.That is, antenna is fixed as to antenna B (#18), the detection of bit strings reset (#20).Now, unique word UW2 is set as to the bit string that unique word test section 45 should detect., start to detect unique word UW2.On the other hand, the in the situation that of RA>RB as shown in Figure 4 (#17: "No"), antenna A is chosen as to the antenna for receiving payload., antenna is switched to antenna A (#19), and transfer to #20.
In the time receiving wireless signal and preamble detected by preamble test section 44 by selected antenna A or B (#21: "Yes"), transfer to the detection (#22) of unique word UW2.In the time unique word UW2 being detected by unique word test section 45 (#22: "Yes"), the beginning of payload has been located, and receives payload (#23) later.By signal processing part 51, received payload is processed.In addition, in #21, after the detection of preamble detection of bit strings in #20 resets, within the 3rd stipulated time, continue, the in the situation that of preamble not detected by preamble test section 44 within the 3rd stipulated time (#21: "No"), turn back to #1.At this, the 3rd stipulated time was equivalent to the one-period of two cycles, virtual data and the preambles of preamble and unique word UW1 and unique word UW2 to be added the time of gained, after the detection of bit strings resets in #20, started counting.In addition, in #22, in the 3rd stipulated time that the detection of unique word UW2 starts to calculate after the reset detecting from the bit string #20, continue.The in the situation that of unique word UW2 not detected by unique word test section 45 within the 3rd stipulated time (#22: "No"), turn back to #1.
Fig. 9 represents the structure of the payload sending from corresponding transmitting system 70.Antenna A or B that payload is selected by antenna control part 52 are received.Payload is made up of header and data.In header, have the reception bags itself such as length (length), the ID of equipment and the classification of bag and process required additional information.Data are originally to want to switch in transmitting system 70 and antenna the main part that sends the data that receive between receiving system 1.In the beginning of header, be inserted with length.Length refers to the information relevant with the length of the data that then header sends.Detect header (length) and data and it is processed by the signal processing part 51 of CPU 5.In addition, also can be configured to by RFIC 4 and carry out the detection of header.
In the 4th stipulated time T4, search for header.Set the 4th stipulated time T4 according to the length of the header sending from transmitting system 70, by the counter 53 of bringing into play function as four-counter, the 4th stipulated time T4 is counted.The in the situation that of header not detected in the 4th stipulated time T4, the detection of signal processing part 51 abort header, switched antenna again, and revert to the action (with reference to Fig. 4 to Fig. 7) that the initial unique word UW1 in the bag to next sending detects.
In the time detecting length, know the length of data, therefore signal processing part (time of reception renewal portion) 51 setting data time of reception T5, in the interior reception data of data receiver time T 5.By the counter 53 of bringing into play function as the 5th counter, data time of reception T5 is counted.Data receiver time T 5 is pressed each bag and difference, and therefore signal processing part 51 length based on detected in the time at every turn detecting length is upgraded data time of reception T5.Even if the detection of data does not complete, if through data receiver time T 5, signal processing part 51 is also ended the detection of data.Then, switched antenna again, and revert to the action (with reference to Fig. 4 to Fig. 7) that the initial unique word UW1 in the bag to next sending detects.
Figure 10 at length illustrates an example of the action of the #1 to #7 in Fig. 8.In #2, in the time that the detection of the bit string of preamble and unique word UW1 is reset, the counting of counter 53 is reset.Counting the be reset detection of the counting that refers to the intermission and the processing of the counting of time started again from zero.At this, counter 53 is brought into play function as the first counter, starts counting (#2B).Then, receive wireless signal (#3), when preamble detected by preamble test section 44 in the first stipulated time T1 time, (#4: "Yes") starts to detect reception level (#5).In the situation that preamble not detected (#4: "No"), the count value of counter 53 and the first stipulated time T1 are compared to (#4A).Do not reach (#4A: "No") the first stipulated time T1 in the count value of counter 53, after the count value that makes counter 53 increases progressively 1, (#4B), turns back to #3, continues to search for preamble from received signal.In the time that the count value of counter 53 becomes that the first stipulated time, T1 was above (#4A: "Yes"), turn back to the switching action (#1) of antenna.
After the detection of the reception level in #5 starts, in the time unique word UW1 being detected (#6: "Yes"), finish the detection (#7) of reception level.In the situation that unique word UW1 not detected (#6: "No"), the count value of counter 53 and the first stipulated time T1 are compared to (#6A).Do not reach (#6A: "No") the first stipulated time T1 in the count value of counter 53, after the count value that makes counter 53 increases progressively 1, (#6B), turns back to #6, continues search unique word UW1.In the time that the count value of counter 53 becomes that the first stipulated time, T1 was above (#4A: "Yes"), turn back to the switching action (#1) of antenna.
Figure 11 at length illustrates an example of the action of the #9 to #14 in Fig. 8.In this action case, when switched antenna detects other unique word UW1 when initial unique word UW1 detected in bag after, set time-out time (the second stipulated time T2).In the time of switched antenna in #9, the detection of the bit string of preamble and unique word UW1 is reset (#9A), and the counting of counter 53 is reset.At this, counter 53 is brought into play function as the second counter, starts counting (#9B).Then, receive wireless signal (#10), when preamble detected by preamble test section 44 in the second stipulated time T2 time (#11: "Yes"), start to detect reception level (#12).In the situation that preamble not detected (#11: "No"), the count value of counter 53 and the second stipulated time T2 are compared to (#11A).Do not reach (#11A: "No") the second stipulated time T2 in the count value of counter 53, after the count value that makes counter 53 increases progressively 1 (#11B), turn back to #10, continue to search for preamble from received signal.In the time that the count value of counter 53 becomes that the second stipulated time, T2 was above (#11A: "Yes"), transfer to #19 and carry out switched antenna.
After the detection of the reception level in #12 starts, in the time unique word UW1 being detected (#13: "Yes"), finish the detection (#14) of reception level.In the situation that unique word UW1 not detected (#13: "No"), the count value of counter 53 and the second stipulated time T2 are compared to (#13A).Do not reach (#13A: "No") the second stipulated time T2 in the count value of counter 53, after the count value that makes counter 53 increases progressively 1, (#13B), turns back to #13, continues search unique word UW1.In the time that the count value of counter 53 becomes that the second stipulated time, T2 was above (#13A: "Yes"), transfer to #19 and carry out switched antenna.
Figure 12 at length illustrates an example of the action of the #20 to #23 in Fig. 8.In this action case, after the antenna of having selected for receiving payload, in the time detecting unique word UW2, set time-out time (the 3rd stipulated time T3).When the detection of bit strings reset and unique word UW2 is set as detecting bit string time (#20), the counting of counter 53 is reset.At this, counter 53 is brought into play function as the 3rd counter, starts counting (#20A).Then, receive wireless signal, when preamble detected by preamble test section 44 in the 3rd stipulated time T3 time (#21: "Yes"), transfer to the detection (#22) of unique word UW2.In the situation that preamble not detected (#21: "No"), the count value of counter 53 and the 3rd stipulated time T3 are compared to (#21A).Do not reach (#21A: "No") the 3rd stipulated time T3 in the count value of counter 53, after the count value that makes counter 53 increases progressively 1 (#21B), turn back to #21, continue to search for preamble from received signal.In the time that the count value of counter 53 becomes the 3rd the stipulated time, T3 was above (#21A: "Yes"), turn back to the switching action (#1) of antenna.
Unique word UW2 detected by unique word test section 45 in the 3rd stipulated time T3 after the detection of the preamble in #21 time (#22: "Yes"), transfer to the reception (#23) of payload.In the situation that unique word UW2 not detected (#22: "No"), the count value of counter 53 and the 3rd stipulated time T3 are compared to (#22A).Do not reach (#22A: "No") the 3rd stipulated time T3 in the count value of counter 53, after the count value that makes counter 53 increases progressively 1, (#22B), turns back to #22, continues search unique word UW2.In the time that the count value of counter 53 becomes the 3rd the stipulated time, T3 was above (#22A: "Yes"), turn back to the switching action (#1) of antenna.
Figure 13 at length illustrates the #23 in Fig. 8, the example that reception of payload is moved.In this action case, for the detection of header, set time-out time (the 4th stipulated time T4).When unique word UW2 detected in #22 time, the counting of counter 53 is reset.At this, counter 53 is brought into play function as four-counter, starts counting (#23A).Then, receive wireless signal, detect header by signal processing part 51, in the time that the detection of header in the 4th stipulated time T4 completes (#23B: "Yes"), transfer to the reception (#23E) of data.In the uncompleted situation of detection of header (#23B: "No"), the count value of counter 53 and the 4th stipulated time T4 are compared to (#23C).Do not reach (#23C: "No") the 4th stipulated time T4 in the count value of counter 53, after the count value that makes counter 53 increases progressively 1, (#23D), turns back to #23B, continues to search for header from received signal.In the time that the count value of counter 53 becomes the 4th the stipulated time, T4 was above (#23C: "Yes"), turn back to the switching action (#1) of antenna.
Figure 14 illustrates the #23 in Fig. 8, the example that reception of payload is moved in more detail.In this action case, for the detection of length and header, set time-out time (the 4th stipulated time T4A and T4B).At this, the 4th stipulated time T4B is identical with the 4th stipulated time T4 in Figure 13.
In addition, in this action case, also set time-out time (data receiver time T 5) for the detection of data.Data length is pressed each bag and difference, and therefore signal processing part 51 upgrades the setting of data time of reception T5 in the time of each detection length, dynamically changes the time that Data Detection spends thus.
When unique word UW2 detected in #22 time, the counting of counter 53 is reset.At this, counter 53 is brought into play function as four-counter A and four-counter B, starts counting (#23A).Then, receive wireless signal, detect length by signal processing part 51, in the time that the detection of length in the 4th stipulated time T4A completes (#23F: "Yes"), transfer to the detection (#23B) of header.In the uncompleted situation of detection of length (#23F: "No"), the count value of counter 53 and the 4th stipulated time T4A are compared to (#23G).Do not reach (#23G: "No") the 4th stipulated time T4A in the count value of counter 53, after the count value that makes counter 53 increases progressively 1, (#23H), turns back to #23F, continues search length from received signal.In the time that the count value of counter 53 becomes the 4th the stipulated time, T4A was above (#23G: "Yes"), turn back to the switching action (#1) of antenna.
In the time that the detection of the length in #23F completes, detect header (#23B) by signal processing part 51.In the time that the detection of header in the 4th stipulated time T4B completes (#23B: "Yes"), the length of signal processing part 51 based on detecting in #23F is upgraded the setting of data time of reception T5.Thus, dynamically optimize by each bag the time that signal processing part 51 spends in the detection of data, thereby alleviate the processing load of CPU 5.In addition, even do the signals such as unique word at the noise misidentification that received wireless signal is comprised, also can promptly revert to the action of search unique word UW1 etc.In the uncompleted situation of detection of header (#23B: "No"), the count value of counter 53 and the 4th stipulated time T4B are compared to (#23C).Do not reach (#23C: "No") the 4th stipulated time T4B in the count value of counter 53, after the count value that makes counter 53 increases progressively 1, (#23D), turns back to #23B, continues to search for header from received signal.In the time that the count value of counter 53 becomes the 4th the stipulated time, T4B was above (#23C: "Yes"), turn back to the switching action (#1) of antenna.In addition, also the counter 53 of bringing into play function as four-counter B can be set after the detection of length completes in #23F for to (#23F: "Yes") detects to reset and starts the counting of the 4th stipulated time T4B.In this case, the 4th stipulated time T4B is the time that the 4th stipulated time T4 from Figure 13 deducts the four stipulated time T4A gained suitable with length.
In the time that the detection of header in #23B completes and in #23I, the setting of data time of reception T5 has been carried out to renewal, the count value of counter 53 is reset.At this, counter 53 is brought into play function as the 5th counter, starts counting (#23J).Then, receive wireless signal, detect data by signal processing part 51, when in the time that the detection of data receiver time T 5 interior data completes (#23K: "Yes"), turn back to the switching action (#1) of antenna.In the uncompleted situation of detection of data (#23K: "No"), the count value of counter 53 and data receiver time T 5 are compared to (#23L).Do not reach (#23L: "No") data receiver time T 5 in the count value of counter 53, after the count value that makes counter 53 increases progressively 1, (#23M), turns back to #23K, continues search data from received signal.When the count value of counter 53 becomes data receiver time T 5 when above (#23L: "Yes"), turn back to the switching action (#1) of antenna.
As above, switch receiving system 1 according to the antenna of present embodiment, unique word test section 45 is without wait for multiple unique word simultaneously.That is, in the #6 in Fig. 8 and #13, only wait for and detect unique word UW1, in #22, only wait for and detect unique word UW2, therefore significantly having alleviated the processing load of unique word test section 45.Though IC in recent years not as good as CPU advancing multifunction, this wait the processing that detects a unique word can realize by the function of utilizing RFIC 4 to possess.Thus, although the bit string measuring ability possessing with RFIC 4 forms unique word test section 45, can correctly select the antenna that signal quality is high.In addition, replace preamble test section 44 or unique word test section 45 etc. to detect preamble or unique word even if be configured to by CPU 5, the processing load of CPU 5 alleviate this be also on the one hand do not have vicissitudinous.Thereby, do not use the CPU 5 of high standard, and can reduce by the decline impact of the level variation causing of multipath with simple and cheap structure.The disposal ability of CPU 5 can be distributed to bit string other function beyond detecting, thereby can not follow cost to rise and build multi-functional antenna and switch receiving system 1.
In addition, the action that detects unique word UW1 by the antenna after switching is limited to the second stipulated time T2, therefore can alleviates the processing load of CPU 5.This be due to, even by the antenna reception after switching to the quality of wireless signal be not able to detect the level of unique word UW1, also can after through the second stipulated time T2, end the detection of unique word UW1 and transfer to the preparation of the detection of unique word UW2.(with reference to Fig. 6.)
In addition, receive unique word UW2 to detect the beginning position of payload by the antenna of being selected by antenna control part 52 as the high antenna of signal quality, therefore can suitably carry out the beginning location of payload.In addition, be still fixed as the antenna of being selected by antenna control part 52 and receive payload, therefore can obtain the signal of the payload that quality is high.
In addition, by selecting the action that detects unique word UW2 after antenna to be limited to the 3rd stipulated time T3, therefore can alleviate the processing load of CPU 5.This be due to, after the 3rd stipulated time T3 through suitably setting, the unique word UW2 can be not again not sending in these bags from transmitting system 70, the reception that therefore can end the detection of unique word UW2 and transfer to ensuing bag is prepared.
In addition, the first stipulated time T1 is set to the time in two cycles of preamble and unique word UW1, and the second stipulated time T2 is set to the time more than one-period of preamble and unique word UW1.Thereby, for the bag sending from transmitting system 70, no matter which timing switched antenna can both wait for any preamble and unique word UW1 with accepting state at.
In addition, the 3rd stipulated time T3 is set to the time that three of preamble and unique word UW1 the times more than cycle and the time of the one-period of the preamble receiving is added to gained before unique word UW2 and unique word UW2.Thereby, for the bag sending from transmitting system 70, no matter which timing switched antenna can both select to wait for unique word UW2 with accepting state after antenna at.
In addition, in the time that signal processing part 51 has been failed the detection of header in the 4th stipulated time T4, do not receive the data of payload and switched antenna again, and the detection that reverts to the unique word UW1 being undertaken by unique word test section 45 etc. is moved.Thus, can further alleviate the processing load of CPU 5.In addition, even do the signals such as unique word at the noise misidentification that received wireless signal is comprised, also can promptly revert to the action of search unique word UW1 etc.
In addition, in the time having failed the detection of data in the data receiver time T 5 of signal processing part 51 after renewal, switched antenna again, and the detection that reverts to the unique word UW1 being undertaken by unique word test section 45 etc. is moved.Thus, can further alleviate the processing load of CPU 5.In addition, the length comprising based on header dynamically updates and optimizes data time of reception T5 by each bag, therefore can further alleviate the processing load of CPU 5.
In addition, can build with antenna and switch radio transmission/reception system corresponding to receiving system 1 by the transmitting system that sent multiple unique word UW1 before payload.In addition, can be by building and further corresponding radio transmission/reception system of antenna switching receiving system 1 sending the transmitting system that sent unique word UW2 after multiple unique word UW1 before payload.In addition, can build with antenna and switch further corresponding radio transmission/reception system of receiving system 1 by the transmitting system that sent preamble before each unique word UW1.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the structure of above-mentioned execution mode.As long as be configured to following structure: while at least any the unique word UW1 in multiple unique word UW1 being detected at switched antenna and by unique word test section 45 in the first stipulated time T1, signal processing part 51 detects the quality of received wireless signal, after antenna being switched by antenna control part 52, in the second stipulated time T2, searched for other unique word UW1 by unique word test section 45, thus, antenna control part 52 is selected the high antenna of signal quality being detected by signal processing part 51, the payload after receiving.
In addition, the present invention can carry out various distortion.For example, also can not calculate the mean value of reception level, and the quality of the signal that reception horizontal detection based on certain time point arrives by each antenna reception.For example, also can based on by each antenna detection to the time point of preamble, from the detection of preamble after the stipulated time or detect that the reception level of the time point of unique word UW1 carrys out detection signal quality.In this case, further alleviate the processing load of signal processing part 51, the i.e. processing load of CPU 5.
