Abstract: In order to reduce the effect of multipath propagation, diversity antennas have been proposed in which each antenna in an array has a respective branch tapped delay line in which the tap output signals are weighted and summed. The sums then need to be combined in a way that improves the signal to noise ratio.      A diversity antenna system is disclosed in which the branch weights W lS to W MS are determined for each branch by: comparing the real part of the summed tap output signals y1 to y M for the branch with a set level; ascribing a symbol value of logical zero to those summed branch tap output signals which fall to one side of the set level and ascribing a symbol value of logical one to those summed branch tap output signals which fall to the other side of the set level; calculating the mean of the levels of those signals ascribed the value logical zero and the mean of the levels of those signals ascribed the value logical one; calculating the distance between the level of each signal ascribed the value logical zero and the respective mean, and the level of each signal ascribed the value logical one and the respective mean; calculating the sum of the distances from the means; calculating the distances of the levels of all signals from the set level; calculating the sum of the distances of the levels of all signals from the set level; calculating the ratio of the sum of the distances from the means to the sum of the distances of the levels of all symbols from the set level; and setting the branch weight W 1S to W MS dependent on the inverse of the ratio.

Title: Spread spectrum communication method and spread spectrum communication apparatus
Inventor: MURAOKA SHINYA
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1999-09-10
Granted: 2004-11-09
Abstract: A UW multiplexing circuit multiplexes a fixed pattern over the leading edge of each frame of transmit data. A spreading code generating circuit generates spreading codes TP1 at a timing synchronized with the frame. A spreading circuit spread-modulates data from the UW multiplexing circuit with the spreading codes TP1. A correlation detecting circuit has spread-modulated fixed patterns as multiplication coefficients, and detects correlations between spread-modulated fixed patterns in received data. A despreading code generating circuit supplies, if a fixed pattern is detected, the leading code of despreading codes RP1. A despreading circuit despread-modulates the receive data with the despreading codes RP1. As a result, the spread spectrum communication apparatus according to the invention is capable of setting the code length and the bandwidth expansion factor independent of each other, and thereby enhancing the performance to detect correlated values.

Title: Upsampling filter having one-bit multipliers for multiple spread-data streams
Inventor: SMITH MALCOLM HAROLD
IPC: H03H17/02
Filed: 2000-09-26
Granted: 2005-01-25
Abstract: A transmit portion of a WB-CDMA transceiver generates one or more spread data streams having values represented by a single bit, allowing for filtering of spread and combined data streams with a root raised cosine (RRC) filter employing single-bit multipliers. The RRC filter is a digital filter that i) employs multiplication of two values in which the length of at least one value is one bit; ii) is preferably implemented with muxs or a simple logic operator; and iii) may employ upsampling and modulation encoding of filter coefficients to reduce the coefficient length to, for example, one bit. The RRC filter may be an FIR filter having either one-bit or multi-bit coefficients, and apply RRC filtering to a spread user stream either before or after the spread user streams are combined. For some implementations, RRC filters are employed to filter each spread user stream prior to combining several processed user steams. For other implementations, the multi-bit valued data stream representing the combined user streams is upsampled to form an upsampled data stream of single-bit values, and RRC filtering is then applied to the upsampled data stream. Alternatively, implementations may use upsampled RRC filter coefficients that allow RRC filtering on the combined spread user streams represented as a sequence of multi-bit values.

This third control subsystem preferably includes at least one pressure transducer for sensing brake pipe pressure adjacent the end of the first train segment, and at least one control valve for controlling brake pipe pressure adjacent the end of the first train segment. The third control subsystem preferably also includes a processor for communicating a signal related to brake pipe pressure adjacent the end the first train segment to the second control subsystem, and for controlling brake pipe pressure adjacent the end of the first train segment responsive to a command from the second control subsystem. The second control subsystem and the third control subsystem preferably cooperate so that the brake pipe pressure adjacent the first train segment and a brake pipe pressure adjacent a front of the second train segment are substantially matching thereby emulating operation with a continuous brake pipe.
