Patent ID: 7123647

Claim:
A chip rate base band processor which receives digital information containing symbol information and provides a symbol output, comprising: an input memory which stores the digital information; a data PN code buffer; a pilot PN code buffer; a pilot multiplier having a first input coupled to the pilot PN code buffer, a second input coupled to the input memory, and a pilot multiplier output; a data multiplier having a first input coupled to the data PN code buffer, a second input coupled to the input memory, and a data multiplier output; a pilot correlator having an input coupled to the output of the pilot multiplier, and a pilot correlator output; a pilot memory coupled to the pilot correlator; a channel estimator coupled to the pilot memory; a peak detector coupled to the pilot memory; a data correlator coupled to the data multiplier; load controller having a first input coupled to the peak detector, a second input coupled to data correlator, and a load controller output; a data memory coupled to the load controller; a phase rotator having a first input coupled to the channel estimator, a second input coupled to the data memory, and a phase rotator output; and a symbol combiner having an input coupled to the phase rotator, and an output which provides the symbol output.
