Abstract:
A data processor (192) selects a set of BOC correlations in accordance with a BOC correlation function for the sampling period if the primary amplitude exceeds or equals the secondary amplitude for the sampling period. The data processor (192) selects a set of QBOC correlations in accordance with a QBOC correlation function for the sampling period if the secondary amplitude exceeds the primary amplitude for the sampling period. The data processor (192) uses either the BOC correlation function or the QBOC correlation function, whichever with greater amplitude, at each sampling period to provide an aggregate correlation function that supports unambiguous code acquisition of the received signal.
Abstract:
A data processor selects a set of BOC correlations in accordance with a BOC correlation function for the sampling period if the primary amplitude exceeds or equals the secondary amplitude for the sampling period. The data processor selects a set of QBOC correlations in accordance with a QBOC correlation function for the sampling period if the secondary amplitude exceeds the primary amplitude for the sampling period. The data processor uses either the BOC correlation function or the QBOC correlation function, whichever with greater amplitude, at each sampling period for carrier tracking. Further, the data processor, through combining two sets of BOC correlations with different chip spacings provides an alternative unambiguous code acquisition of the received signal.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un dispositif et une méthode de détermination du temps d'arrivée d'un signal UWB comprenant au moins une impulsion modulée à une fréquence porteuse. Le récepteur comprend un étage de translation de fréquence (410) du signal UWB à une première fréquence intermédiaire et une seconde fréquence intermédiaire. Dans un étage d'intégration (420), les signaux translatés à la première fréquence intermédiaire et à la seconde fréquence intermédiaire sont intégrés sur une fenêtre temporelle pour donner respectivement un premier résultat et un second résultat d'intégration. On détermine l'écart de phase entre les premier et second résultats d'intégration (440) et on déduit (450) de cet écart de phase le temps d'arrivée du signal UWB.

The FSM includes: a first accumulator, a second accumulator, and a third accumulator. The first accumulator is configured to receive an input phase code representing a phase timing difference between a data signal and a clock signal at each FSM cycle, to accumulate input phase codes for different FSM cycles, and to generate a first order phase code at each FSM cycle. The second accumulator is coupled to the first accumulator and configured to accumulate the input phase codes and first order phase codes for different FSM cycles, and to generate a second order phase code at each FSM cycle. The third accumulator is coupled to the second accumulator and configured to accumulate the input phase codes and second order phase codes for different FSM cycles, and to generate a third order phase code at each FSM cycle.
Abstract:
A candidate arbitrary-phase spread spectrum modulation technique that offers similar performance to spread continuous phase modulation (CPM) waveforms and additional capabilities for programming a chosen frequency domain spectra into the resulting spread spectrum signal. The proposed chaotic-FSK waveform is derived from high-order sequence-based spread spectrum signals, with multi-bit resolution chaos-based sequences defining incremental phase words, enabling real-time efficient generation of practically non-repeating waveforms. A result of the C-FSK formulation is a parameterized hybrid modulation capable of acting like a traditional sequence-based spread spectrum signal or a traditional frequency shift keying signal depending on chosen parameters. As such, adaptation in this modulation may be easily implemented as a time-varying evolution, increasing the security of the waveform while retaining many efficiently implementable receiver design characteristics of traditional PSK modulations.
Abstract:
A method of performing a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) on one or more data samples in a global navigation satellite system baseband tracking channel is provided. The method comprises loading a pseudorandom noise code generator with a constant value in the baseband tracking channel; setting a tracking loop integration time according to a selected frequency resolution; updating a carrier generator with a selected DFT frequency in the baseband tracking channel; integrating a data sample in the baseband tracking channel; and storing the integrated data sample in a DFT bin. The method determines whether all DFT bins have been received, and if all DFT bins have not been received, the method repeats starting with updating the carrier generator, until all DFT bins have been received.

The present invention relates to a location measuring method performed among an access point and a plurality of UWB tags and a location measuring system therefor. When a location is measured according to a relation between the access point and the UWB tag, collisions and interference occurring between signals in a wireless space may be avoided so that an efficient RTLS is implemented.
