    Abstract: A training circuit includes resources for processing magnitude and phase information received in a main propagation path signal with magnitude and phase information concurrently received in a secondary propagation path signal to determine values for magnitude, phase, and time offset of the secondary propagation path signal relative to the main propagation path signal. The training circuit can identify time offsets less than or greater than a symbol period, for either leading or lagging secondary path time offsets. A phase difference circuit, further included in the training circuit, determines a phase offset for the secondary propagation path signal relative to the main propagation path signal using main and secondary propagation path symbol phase values in combination with the time offset information. The relative magnitude, phase, and time information represents a characterization of the secondary propagation path with respect to the main propagation path.

    Abstract: A training method provides and advantageous technique for estimating secondary propagation path parameters based on learming propagation path characteristics for a selected number of secondary propagation path signals. In a multipath environment, a received radio signal comprises multiple received signals, each received through a different signal propagation path. The training method includes a course search technique that yields initial identification of the significant secondary path signals, and further includes techniques for characterizing the magnitude, phase, and path delay, all relative to the main path signal for secondary path signal of interest. The training method employs differential decoding and sample phase slicing to improve parameter estimation accuracy, and further includes phase correlation operations to determine secondary path delay, where such delays may have spreads that exceed a transmitted signal symbol period.

    Abstract: A training circuit includes resources for processing magnitude and phase information received in a main propagation path signal with magnitude and phase information concurrently received in a secondary propagation path signal to determine values for magnitude, phase, and time offset of the secondary propagation path signal relative to the main propagation path signal. Differential decoding circuitry within the training circuit provides a correlation circuit, also in the training circuit, with differentially decoded sequences of symbol phase values derived from concurrent main and secondary signal propagation path symbol phase value sequences provided to the training circuit by an associated communications receiver. Operating on theses phase value sequences, the correlation circuit determines the time offset between the main and secondary propagation path signals based on determining the correspondence between symbol phase values received via the main propagation path signal and those concurrently received via the secondary propagation path signal. The training circuit can identify time offsets less than or greater than a symbol period, for either leading or lagging secondary path time offsets. A phase difference circuit, further included in the training circuit, determines a phase offset for the secondary propagation path signal relative to the main propagation path signal using main and secondary propagation path symbol phase values in combination with the time offset information. The relative magnitude, phase, and time information represents a characterization of the secondary propagation path with respect to the main propagation path. This characterization information may be used to improve reception performance or cancel multipath interference.
