Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a direct downconversion receiver architecture providing a signal gain and DC offset correction. SOLUTION: The direct downconversion receiver architecture includes: a DC loop to remove DC offset from signal components; a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) to provide a range of gains; an automatic gain control (AGC) loop to provide gain control for the DVGA and RF/analog circuitry; and a serial bus interface (SBI) unit to provide controls for the RF/analog circuitry via a serial bus. The operating mode of the VGA loop is selected based on the operating mode of the DC loop, since these two loops interact with each other. The duration of time the DC loop is operated in an acquisition mode is selected to be inversely proportional to the DC loop bandwidth in the acquisition mode. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an architecture of a direct down conversion receiver capable of providing required signal gain and DC offset correction. SOLUTION: The architecture has a DC loop for removing DC offset from a signal component, a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) for providing a gain range, an automatic gain control (AGC) loop for performing a gain control relating to the DVGA and an RF/analog circuit, and a serial bus interface (SBI) unit for providing control to the RF/analog circuit via a serial bus. Since these two loops perform mutual interaction with each other in design and disposition of the DVGA, an operation mode of the VGA loop is selected based on an operation mode of the DC loop. Within a time period while the DC loop is operating by a capturing mode, selection is made so as to be operated in inverse proportion to a bandwidth of the DC loop in the capturing mode. The control relating to some or all of RF/analog circuits is provided via the serial bus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digital signal processor which enhances performance and availability. SOLUTION: A DSP includes a set of three data buses over which data may be exchanged with a register bank 120 and three data memories 102, 103 and 104. The register bank 120 may be used that includes registers accessible by at least two processing units 128 and 130. An instruction fetch unit 156 may include that receives instructions of variable length stored in an instruction memory 152. The instruction memory 152 may be separated from the set of three data memories 102, 103 and 104. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To implement high-speed encoding and decoding for processing digital video data. SOLUTION: A device for processing digital video data, such as an encoder, a decoder or an encoder/decoder (CODEC) 20 makes the use of an innovative architecture in which functionality is partitioned between an embedded processor, a digital signal processor and dedicated hardware to achieve increased performance. In addition, the device includes a programmable video direct memory access (VDMA) controller 26 to retrieve video data from memory in response to a command specifying a multidimensional block of video data.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a direct down converting receiver architecture having a DC loop for removing a DC offset from a signal component, a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) for providing a gain range, an automatic gain control (AGC) loop for performing gain control relating to the DVGA and RF/analog circuits, and a serial bus interface (SBI) unit for providing control relating to the RF/analog circuits via a serial bus. SOLUTION: The DVGA is to be effectively designed and disposed. Since these two loops mutually performs interaction, an operation mode of the VGA loop is to be selected based on an operation mode of the DC loop. Selection is made so as to be in inverse proportion to bandwidth of the DC loop in a captured mode while the DC loop is operated by the captured mode. Control is to be provided to some or all of the RF/analog circuits via the serial bus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
DSP architectures having improved performance are described. In an exemplary architecture, a DSP includes two MAC units and two ALUs, where one of the ALUs replaces an adder for one of the two MAC units. This DSP may be configured to operate in a dual-MAC/single-ALU configuration, a single-MAC/dual-ALU configuration, or a dual-MAC/dual-ALU configuration. This flexibility allows the DSP to handle various types of signal processing operations and improves utilization of the available hardware. The DSP architectures further includes pipeline registers that break up critical paths and allow operations at a higher clock speed for greater throughput.

Abstract:
A velocityx estimate is determined from a recevied signal by counting the number of times a signal in one multipath crosses a predetermined threshold in a given amount of time. A signal is received and a single multipath is extracted from the received signal. Instantaneous envelope values of the extracted multipath are calculated. A plurality of the instantaneous envelope valures are used to calculate a running RMS value. A level crossing threshold is determined using the running RMS value. The number of times the instantaneous envelope value crosses the level crossing threshold is counted. The number of level crossings is mapped to a velocity estimate.
