    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simplified VGA configuration using the fact that multiplication within a normal numerical domain can be performed by addition within a logarithmic domain.
    SOLUTION: The digital voltage gain amplifier (digital VGA) 132 operates within the logarithmic domain. Properties of the logarithmic domain are exploited to replace the complex multiplier of a conventional VGA 132 with a simple and relatively inexpensive adder 306. Additional techniques are described to significantly reduce the size of one or more lookup-tables LUTs implemented within the digital VGA 132. In this manner, a much more simple, lower-cost design of a digital VGA is achieved.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for efficient processing of signal in a communication system. The processing of the signal for transmission may include encoding a block of data at an encoding rate 1/R. The encoding produces R number of data symbols for every data bit in the block of data. A block of RAM (299, 600) is partitioned into a plurality of blocks of RAM to allow reading simultaneously data symbols from the plurality of blocks of RAM to produce an in-phase and a quad-phase data symbols simultaneously. At least two scramblers (306 and 307) are used for simultaneously scrambling the in-phase and quad-phase data symbols. A Walsh covering/summing block 700 provides efficient Walsh covering and summing of signals for a combined transmission from the communication system.

    Abstract: An apparatus for coarse compensation of a direct current (DC) offset in a direct to baseband receiver architecture utilizes a serial analog to digital converter (ADC), such as a Delta-Sigma converter, to convert the received signal to digital form. The output of the ADC is sampled for a predetermined number of samples and a counter coupled to the ADC is incremented each time the sample generated by the ADC is a logic one. The counter is not incremented if the sample from the ADC is a logic zero. After the predetermined number of samples is obtained, the counter value is indicative of the DC offset in the received signal. The counter value may be converted by a code converter to a correction value for easy operation of a digital to analog converter (DAC). If the number of samples from the ADC is a power of two, the code converted may be readily implemented by simply inverting the most significant bit (MSB) from the counter to thereby generate a twos complement version of the counter value. The correction value is coupled to the DAC to generate a compensation signal, which is provided to the received signal path in the form of a feedback signal to compensate for the DC offset.
