Description

RECEIVER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR MULTI-GIGABIT WIRELESS
SYSTEMS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to communication networks and, more particularly, to architecture for a high-speed, high-frequency wireless system.
2. Description of Related Art
As the world becomes more reliant on electronic devices, and portable devices, the desire for faster and more convenient devices has increased. Accordingly, producers of such devices strive to create faster, easier to use, and more cost-effective devices to serve the needs of consumers.
Indeed, the demand for ultra-high data rate wireless communication has increased, in particular due to the emergence of many new multimedia applications. Due to some limitations in these high data rates, the need for ultra-high speed personal area networking (PAN) and point-to-point or point-to-multipoint data links becomes vital.
Conventional wireless local area networks (WLAN), e.g., 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802. Hg standards, are limited, in the best case, to a data rate of only 54 Mb/s. Other high speed wireless communications, such as ultra wide band (UWB) and multiple-input/multiple- output (MIMO) systems can extend the data rate to approximately 100 Mb/s.
To push through the gigabit per second (Gb/s) spectrum, either spectrum efficiency or the available bandwidth must be increased. Consequently, recent development of technologies and systems operating at the millimeter-wave (MMW) frequencies increases with this demand for more speed.
Fortunately, governments have made available several GHz (gigahertz) bandwidth unlicensed Instrumentation, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands in the 60 GHz spectrum. For instance, the United States, through its Federal Communications Commission (FCC), allocated 59-64 GHz for unlicensed applications in the United States. Likewise, Japan allocated 59-66 GHz for high speed data communications. Also, Europe allocated 59-62, 62- 63, and 65-66 GHz for mobile broadband and WLAN communications. The availability of frequencies in this spectrum presents an opportunity for ultra-high speed short-range wireless communications.
Converting a signal from analog to digital at such high frequencies and at such high speeds is currently not cost effective. Also, line of sight is required to transmit at such
I641708_I.DOC 1 GTRCl 80PCT frequencies and speed, so an obstruction in the wireless communication can slow, or even stop, transmission of communication.
What is needed, therefore, is an assembly for ultra-high frequencies (approximately
60 GHz) and ultra-high speeds (approximately 10 Gb/s) to convert from an analog signal to a digital signal that is low cost. Furthermore, a device adapted to operate when an obstruction, or severe shadowing, occurs is needed. It is to such a device that the present invention is primarily detected.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a receiver assembly. The receiver assembly comprises an N- array antenna assembly having a plurality of antennas, wherein the plurality of antennas are adapted to operate at a bandwidth of approximately 60 GHz; a plurality of amplifiers in communication with each antenna of the plurality of antennas of the N-array antenna assembly for amplifying a signal received by each antenna; a down converter for performing frequency conversion of a amplifier signal being emitted by each amplifier of the plurality of amplifiers; a demodulator adapted to recover data and recover clock signals; a latch for realigning clock signals, wherein the latch is based on a bit rate of a clock signal; a first- in/first-out circuit for organizing and recovering the clock signal; and a logic circuit for correlating known sequences to correct errors in the signal.
The logic circuit can emit a digital signal, wherein the receiver assembly receives the analog signal and converts the analog signal to the digital signal. The plurality of filters can be low noise amplifiers. The first-in/first out circuit can include serializer/deserializer (SERDES) architecture. The receiver assembly can further comprise a clocking device.
Each antenna of the plurality of antennas can provide approximately 10 dBi of gain, an azimuth 3dB beam-width of approximately 60 degrees, and an elevation 3dB beam-width in a range of approximately 30 to 35 degrees, which can produce an unexpected result at the preferred operating frequency.
Each antenna of the plurality of antennas can include a different orientation. The N-array antenna assembly can provide a sectored coverage of approximately 60 degrees in an azimuth plane. The N-array antenna assembly can further provide a sectored coverage of approximately 180 degrees in an elevation plane.
The present invention also discloses a method. The method of converting an analog signal to a digital signal, wherein the analog signal has a bandwidth of approximately 60 GHz, the method comprising: receiving the analog signal operating at approximately 60 GHz with a plurality of antennas; feeding the analog signal received from the plurality of antennas
I641708_I.DOC 2 GTRCl 80PCT to a filter; filtering the analog signal to create a cleaned signal; converting the frequency of the cleaned signal by down converting the cleaned signal; demodulating the signal; synchronizing the signal; and correlating the signal to known sequences.
Synchronizing the signal can include delaying the signal by delaying the signal with another signal.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent upon reading the following specification in conjunction with the accompanying drawing figures.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a receiver assembly, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
To facilitate an understanding of the principles and features of the invention, it is explained hereinafter with reference to its implementation in an illustrative embodiment. In particular, the invention is described in the context of being a wireless receiver assembly for operation at ultra-high frequencies and ultra-high data communication speeds.
The materials described as making up the various elements of the invention are intended to be illustrative and not restrictive. Many suitable materials that would perform the same or a similar function as the materials described herein are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention. Such other materials not described herein can include, but are not limited to, for example, materials that are developed after the time of the development of the invention.
The present invention is a receiver assembly 100. The receiver assembly 100 comprises an N-array antenna assembly 110, a down converter 120, a demodulator 130, a latch 140, a first-in/first-out circuit (FIFO) 150, and logic 160. The receiver assembly 100 obtains an analog signal from the air. The analog signal, as it is fed through the receive assembly 100, is converted to a digital signal. Accomplishing this analog to digital conversion is not an easy task at high frequencies and high data speeds.
The present invention is implemented with the combination of three over-arching concepts - antenna diversity, selection diversity (SD), and maximum ration combining (MRC). The present invention, preferably, operates at approximately 60 GHz, i.e., 54 to 66 GHz, and at approximately 10 Gb/s.
The N-array antenna assembly 110 includes N (number) fan beam series array antenna 112. That is, the N-array antenna assembly 110 includes a plurality of antennas 112.
i64i708_i.DOC 3 GTRCl 80PCT As illustrated in Fig. 1, there are 5 array antennas 112; one skilled in the art would recognize that many antennas 112 can be implemented. Each antenna 112 can be designed to provide approximately 10 dBi of gain, an azimuth (i.e., H-plane) of approximately 3 dB having a beam-width of approximately 60 degrees, and an elevation (i.e., E-plane) of approximately 3dB having a beam-width of approximately 30 to 35 degrees, the combination of which can present unexpected results. Preferably, the selected N fan beam antennas 112 for the receiver assembly 100 are different from one another, wherein, for instance, the antennas 112 have different gain, radiation patterns, shapes, sizes, and other differing characteristics between the antennas 112. The antennas 112 can be designed, further, to have different elevation beam orientations. The association of the different N antennas 112 can cover approximately 60 degrees in the azimuth plane, and approximately 180 degrees in the elevation plane. For instance, the N-array antenna assembly 110 includes three (3) antennas 112, the antennas 112 can cover approximately 180 in at least 2 planes. The antenna 112 can be designed to receive an analog signal 105, preferably operating at approximately 60 GHz.
Due to the direction pointed, each antenna 112 is less sensitive to a multi-path effect. Additionally, due to different beam orientations of the antenna 112, each antenna 112 can receive, preferably, a line of sight signal, or, alternatively, a reflected signal (for instance, from a wireless repeater). The arrangement of the antennas 112, as well as the plurality of antennas 112, of the N-array antenna assembly 110 can enable a variety of angles, wherein enabling the receiver assembly 100 to receive a number of different signals, or the same signal, at different strengths.
Each antenna 112 is connected to an amplifier 114. Preferably, the amplifier 114 is a low noise amplifier (LNA). As a signal 115 from each antenna 112 is transmitted through the antenna 112, the selection diversity concept can be applied to select antennas 112 that exhibit, or provide, the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). That is, the selection diversity format enables the best signal to be calculated. The antenna 112 that provides the best signal has that signal secured, while weaker signals are eliminated.
The amplifier 114 can emit a signal 117. The signal 117 emitted from the amplifier 114 can then be fed into a down converter 120. The down converter 120 can be adapted to perform frequency conversion to a lower frequency band.
The down converter 120 can emit a signal 125. The signal 125 emitted from the down converter 120 is, preferably, fed next into a demodulator 130. The demodulator 130 can convert the signal 125 from the down converter 120 to a baseband signal. Indeed, the
I641708_I.DOC 4 GTRCl 80PCT demodulator 130 is adapted to recover the signal 125 and further recover data from the signal
125, thus improving the signal 125, by preferred analog techniques.
In a preferred embodiment, the demodulator 130 includes clock-recovery technology
132 and data-recovery technology 134. The clock-recovery 132 and data-recovery 134 are applied to the signal 125 emitting from the down converter 120. The application of the clock-recovery 132 and data-recovery 134 can create streams of bits that can be synchronized with latch functionality.
These streams of bits, or signal 135, are inserted next into a latch 140. The latch 140 can realign the signal 135, which is dependent on the bit rate. A delay in the signal patch can be realigned in the latch 140. The latch 140 can take the signal 135 and hold it for a predetermined time in order to align it from another signal 137 from the demodulator 130, which can be received and fed from a different antenna through the receiver assembly, but can lag (time) a little behind the signal 135. The realignment is also dependent on the bit rate. These streams of bits, collectively signal 145, are fed into the FIFO (first-in/first-out)
150. The FIFO 150 can use SERDES (serializer/deserializer) architecture. The SERDES can covert the signal 145 from/to a serial data stream and a parallel data stream.
The signal 155 from the FIFO 150 can be then fed into a logic circuit 160. The logic
160 can include coding to correlate known sequences of bits. The logic 160 can, preferably, include error detection 162 and error correction algorithms 164. Specifically, error detection
162 coding within the logic 160 can correlate streams of data. Moreover, a maximum ratio, which can combine and take different input signals to correlate and assign weights, or preferences, of the signals. An analog signal to noise ratio 166 can be used to enables determining the weight of the signal. The signal 165 emitted from the logic 160 is a digital signal. The analog signal 105 received by one or more antennas, as the signal runs through the receiver assembly, is converted to a digital signal.
While the invention has been disclosed in its preferred forms, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications, additions, and deletions can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and its equivalents, as set forth in the following claims.
