  • the CDMA method is a method that enables multiple users to access a transmission channel.
  • this method which is used, for example, in mobile radio systems, several users occupy the same frequency range, but the useful signal is coded differently for each user.
  • a different code is used for the transmission of the bits for a first user than for a second user.
  • the coding is based on a spread of the user data channel.
  • the individual bits of a narrowband useful signal are replaced by longer bit combinations. If you replace a bit with a bit combination of, for example, 10 bits, you achieve a spread by a factor of 10.
  • the transmission channel can be used simultaneously for several user channels.
  • the data of the individual users must be clearly separated from one another in the transmission channel. divorce.
  • a major advantage of the CDMA method for example over the known TDMA method ("Time Division Multiple Access"), is the better utilization of the available transmission bandwidth.
  • data packets travel from the sender to the receiver on different transmission paths.
  • a direct transmission path is conceivable; another transmission path for the signal can sometimes contain several reflection points.
  • the existence of such different transmission paths and the associated different delays in the data packets entail disadvantages in most transmission methods, for example in the TDMA method.
  • CDMA method you can take advantage of the existence of several transmission paths.
  • a RAKE receiver has several RAKE fingers, that is to say several processing paths for data packets which have come from the transmitter to the receiver on different signal paths and which therefore generally have different delay times.
  • suitable processing of the data packets in the different RAKE fingers the data can be processed so that they can ultimately be combined in a combiner. Only this combined signal is decoded and a high quality signal is obtained.
  • the problem with such devices and methods that use a RAKE receiver is that depending on the spreading factors used and the received signal strength at the output of a RAKE receiver, very different values are obtained for the partial symbols assigned to the respective RAKE fingers.
  • One is therefore forced to work in all processing stages with large bit widths in order to take their signal dynamics and the different spreading factors into account. This results in a considerable amount of hardware.
  • the present invention is based on the task . e is based on further developing the generic device and the generic method in such a way that the implementation effort is reduced.
  • the invention builds on the generic device in that means for scaling data are assigned to the processing paths. Depending on the spreading factor and the signal strength received, there are generally very different values for the partial symbols of the individual RAKE fingers at the output of the RAKE receiver.
  • the RAKE fingers are assigned to the individual processing methods. However, since only certain bits of the individual received partial symbols are information carriers - which bits are involved depends on the signal strength and the respective spreading factor - a scaling of the data can reduce the bit width. Downstream processing stages can thus work with a smaller bit width, ultimately the implementation effort is thus reduced.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly advantageously developed in that means for supplying scaling values to the means for scaling data are provided.
  • the means for scaling data can thus be supplied with values from outside which determine the extent of the scaling.
  • the scaling is carried out in a simple manner by shifting the data word by a number of digits, which is specified by the scaling value supplied from the outside.
  • the scaling values are adapted to the signal conditions so that in as many cases as possible the complete information is retained despite scaling of the data.
  • the means for supplying scaling values supply the same processing values to the different processing paths.
  • the device is developed in a particularly advantageous manner in that the processing paths are assigned means for limiting the data values to a maximum value. Due to the advantageous scaling of the data values, which is carried out in the context of the present invention, only smaller bit widths are available for the different signals. Therefore, overflows can occur despite careful selection of the scaling. These overflows are counteracted by means of limiting the data values to a maximum value. A limitation to such a maximum value has a lesser influence with regard to the quality of the received signal than, for example, allowing overflows. This can be illustrated in such a way that an overflow often results from a large noise signal value which is also superimposed on a large signal value. It is very likely that the signal value, which is limited to the maximum value, will be in the range of this maximum value anyway.
  • the means for multiplying data are used for weighting.
  • Weighting promotes good signal quality, since it makes it possible to take signal components with a high intensity into account, even with a high weighting. Signal components with a lower intensity, however, are suppressed in comparison to the more intensive signal components.
  • the device is further developed in an advantageous manner in that in-phase data and quadrature data are processed in the processing paths and that the in-phase data and the quadrature data of the processing paths are thus used with the means for multiplying data can be adjusted so that in the combiner in-phase parts are combined with in-phase parts and quadrature parts with quadrature parts.
  • the channel coefficients with which the data are changed in the multiplication means thus serve on the one hand to weight the individual RAKE fingers and on the other hand to correct the in-phase components and the quadrature components of the signals.
  • the device is particularly advantageous when 8-bit dynamics are made available. Such 8-bit dynamics can be guaranteed regardless of the spreading factor and the performance of their individual sub-symbols of the RAKE fingers. Such 8-bit dynamics are sufficient in particular for a satisfactory signal quality if short-term changes in the symbol energies, which would in themselves lead to overflows, are limited to a maximum value by a limiter logic.
  • the invention builds on the generic method in that data is scaled in the processing paths. In this way, the advantages of the device according to the invention are realized in the context of a method.
  • the method according to the invention is particularly advantageous in that scaling values are supplied for scaling data become. Such scaling can reduce the bit widths of the data passed on.
  • the method according to the present invention is to be carried out in such a way that the data values are limited to a maximum value. This prevents overflows. Such overflows could otherwise lead to the creation of two's complement. Limiting the data values to a maximum value therefore serves to promote the signal quality.
  • weighting is advantageously carried out by multiplying data.
  • the weighting makes it possible to take signal components with high intensities into account, even with a high weighting. Signal components with a low intensity, however, are less considered.

  • the multiplication of the data by channel coefficients thus serves not only to weight but also to rotate an image signal vector in the complex I / Q plane.
  • an 8-bit dynamic range is preferably made available. An 8-bit dynamic provides a satisfactory signal quality in numerous applications.

Of these eight processing paths, only the first processing path (# 1) and the eighth processing path (# 8) are shown. For example, the remaining processing paths can be designed in the same way.
  • n processing paths # 1 to #n are provided, where n is a natural number.
  • Each of the processing paths includes a RAKE finger 12 which, for example, outputs two data words with a respective width of 21 bits.
  • the two data words are in-phase data or quadrature data.
  • the scaling value is input to the unit 14 from a scaling value transmitter 16.
  • the data values are shifted in the unit 14, so that ultimately the information-carrying points of the data words are filtered out.
  • the output of the unit 14 thus comprises, for example, two 8-bit data words. So there has been a significant reduction in the bit width. Since there is a greater probability of overflows due to the reduction in the bit width, even if the scaling value which is output by the scaling value generator 16 is carefully selected, the unit 14 is also equipped with a limiter. This limits (“clipping") the value output by the unit 14 to a maximum value. This prevents the data from overflowing.
  • the data output by the unit 14 are input to a multiplier 18, where they are multiplied by a channel coefficient which is output by the unit 20.
  • This multiplication in the multiplier 18, results in a weighting of the data assigned to the different RAKE fingers 12.
  • the in-phase components and the quadrature components of the data are influenced in such a way that a subsequent combination of the respective components with the data of the other RAKE fingers 12 is possible.
