Abstract:
A method of acquiring a communications signal is provided. The method includes the steps of storing a forward chirp sync segment ( ) of an auto-correlating forward chirp sync ( ) and storing a reverse chirp sync segment ( ) of a symmetric auto-correlating reverse chirp sync ( ). A header comprising of either a forward chirp sync FCS ( ) or a reverse chirp sync RCS ( ), a predetermined number of data blocks comprising a data frame ( ), and the symmetric auto-correlating trailer is received. The header, the data blocks, and the symmetric trailer are susceptible to frequency error. The method correlates the FCS segment ( ) with the auto-correlating FCS ( ) to provide a FCS correlation signal ( ) and correlates the RCS segment ( ) with the auto-correlating RCS ( ) to provide a RCS correlation signal ( ). The method determines the frequency error, symbol timing, and frame timing based upon the FCS correlation signal ( ) and the RCS correlation signal ( ).

Receiver Having Decisional Feedback Equalizer With Remodulation And Related Methods

View page
US Patent:
6690753, Feb 10, 2004
Filed:
Jun 7, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/163871
Inventors:
Thomas D. Kwon - Milpitas CA
Jonathan S. Min - Buena Park CA
Fang Lu - Irvine CA
Thomas J. Kolze - Phoenix AZ
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
H04L 100
US Classification:
375344, 375350, 375348
Abstract:
A receiver includes a filter for filtering a received signal to produce a filtered signal. A converter converts the filtered signal to a baseband signal that is substantially free of an initial frequency offset and inter-symbol interference (ISI), responsive to a frequency-offset estimate and a restorative signal that compensates for the ISI. A detector detects symbols in the baseband signal to produce a decision signal. A restorative signal generator generates, from the decision signal, the restorative signal responsive to the frequency-offset estimate, such that the restorative signal compensates for the ISI.

System And Method For Canceling Interference In A Communication System

View page
US Patent:
6798854, Sep 28, 2004
Filed:
Jun 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/878730
Inventors:
Thomas J. Kolze - Phoenix AZ
Bruce J. Currivan - Irvine CA
Jonathan S. Min - Buena Park CA
Eric Ojard - San Francisco CA
James Chi Thi - Irvine CA
Daniel Howard - Atlanta GA
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
H04B 110
US Classification:
375350
Abstract:
A filter settings generation operation includes sampling a communication channel to produce a sampled signal. The sampled signal is spectrally characterized across a frequency band of interest to produce a spectral characterization of the sampled signal. This spectral characterization may not include a signal of interest. The spectral characterization is then modified to produce a modified spectral characterization. Filter settings are then generated based upon the modified spectral characterization. Finally, the communication channel is filtered using the filter settings when the signal of interest is present on the communication channel. In modifying the spectral characterization, pluralities of spectral characteristics of the spectral characterization are independently modified to produce the modified spectral characterization. Modifications to the spectral characterization may be performed in the frequency domain and/or the time domain. One particular spectral modification that is performed is raising of the noise floor of the spectral characterization to meet a budgeted signal-to-noise ratio.

Asynchronous Resampling For Data Transport

US Patent:
6904111, Jun 7, 2005
Filed:
Mar 1, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/516800
Inventors:
Thomas J. Kolze - Phoenix AZ, US
Holly C. Osborne - Redondo Beach CA, US
Assignee:
Northrop Grumman Corporation - Redondo Beach CA
International Classification:
H04L007/00
US Classification:
375354, 375356, 375358, 375376
Abstract:
A data and clock signals from a source () are transmitted from a location () to a distant location () together with a phase signal which estimates the difference in phase between a data clock signal and a reference clock signal generated by a reference clock () at location (). At the second location (), the phase signal is used to address coefficients stored in a read only memory () which are used to condition a resample or interpolate filter () which generates resampled data signals.

Vofdm Receiver Correlation Matrix Processing Using Factorization

View page
US Patent:
6947715, Sep 20, 2005
Filed:
Mar 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/114023
Inventors:
Thomas J. Kolze - Phoenix AZ, US
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
H04B007/00
US Classification:
455132, 455272, 455504
Abstract:
Vector orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (VOFDM) receiver correlation matrix processing using factorization. Efficient correlation matrix processing is used to combine multiple signals into a single combined signal. This single combined signal may be viewed as being a beam form soft decision. An efficient square root factorization system and method provides for computational resource savings while, at the same time, providing for greater precision of the overall computational results. By reducing intermediate variable calculation dynamic ranges, the overall calculation becomes more precise. Particularly within fixed-point arithmetic applications, a reduction in dynamic range of the intermediate variable calculations provides for a significant increase in final calculation precision. Square root factorization and subsequent mathematical operations produce some savings in the number of computational steps required in dual antenna embodiments, yet the savings in terms of computational steps and required processing resources are relatively much larger within embodiments having even larger number of antennae.

System And Method For Periodic Noise Avoidance In Data Transmission Systems

View page
US Patent:
7050516, May 23, 2006
Filed:
Mar 20, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/391555
Inventors:
Bruce J. Currivan - Irvine CA, US
Thomas J. Kolze - Phoenix AZ, US
Daniel H. Howard - Atlanta GA, US
Nabil Yousef - Foothill Ranch CA, US
William Ngai - Irvine CA, US
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
H03D 1/04
H03D 1/06
H03K 5/01
H03K 6/04
US Classification:
375346, 375355, 370516
Abstract:
A system for periodic noise avoidance including a timing discriminator receiving an input signal from a communications channel. The input signal includes data packets and empty slots with periodic noise. The timing discriminator outputs a first error measurement of periodic noise width and a second error measurement of periodic noise position. A first loop filter inputs the first error measurement and outputs a width of the empty slots. A second loop filter inputs the second error measurement and outputs a frequency of the periodic noise. An oscillator inputs the width of the empty slots and the frequency, and outputs an empty slot waveform to the timing discriminator.

Cancellation Of Interference In A Communication System With Application To S-Cdma

View page
US Patent:
7110434, Sep 19, 2006
Filed:
May 8, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/142189
Inventors:
Bruce J. Currivan - Irvine CA, US
Thomas J. Kolze - Phoenix AZ, US
Gottfried Ungerboeck - Langnau, CH
Nabil R. Yousef - Foothill Ranch CA, US
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
H04B 1/707
US Classification:
375144
Abstract:
A relatively straight-forward implemented, and computationally efficient approach of selecting a predetermined number of unused codes is used to perform weighted linear combination selectively with each of the input spread signals in a multiple access communication system. If desired, the predetermined number of unused codes is always the same in each implementation. Alternatively, the predetermined number of unused codes are selected from within a reordered code matrix using knowledge that is shared between the two ends of a communication system, such as between the CMs and a CMTS. While the context of an S-CDMA communication system having CMs and a CMTS is used, the solution is generally applicable to any communication system that seeks to cancel narrowband interference. Several embodiments are also described that show the generic applicability of the solution across a wide variety of systems.

Modified Branch Metrics For Processing Soft Decisions To Account For Phase Noise Impact On Cluster Variance

View page
US Patent:
7136435, Nov 14, 2006
Filed:
Mar 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/112009
Inventors:
Thomas J. Kolze - Phoenix AZ, US
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
H03D 1/00
H03D 3/00
US Classification:
375341, 375265, 375317, 375322, 714796
Abstract:
Modified branch metrics for processing bit-soft decisions to account for phase noise impact on cluster variance (CV). The present invention is able to partition a modulation scheme's constellation into two or more regions, so that the bit-soft decision branch metrics may be adjusted based on the CV of the various constellation points. A confidence level may be attached to the various constellation points based on their particular CVs. There are a number of methods to ascertain the CV of the constellation's points, including finding characteristics of various components in a communication system (transmitter, communication channel and receiver), and any method may be used within various embodiments. The modification of the branch metrics/confidence level may be performed in a communication receiver; the communication receiver may be implemented in a communication system employing the vector orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (VOFDM) portion of the broadband wireless internet forum (BWIF).
