Abstract:
A system, such as e.g. a multiplier, for processing digital signals by using digital signals (x) in the Canonic Signed Digit (CSD) representation includes:
an input element (10) configured for making the digital signals (x) available in the Binary Canonic Signed Digit (BCSD) representation, a converter (20) for converting the digital signals made available in the Binary Canonic Signed Digit (BCSD) representation into said Canonic Signed Digit (CSD) representation in view of use in processing.
The input element (10) may be a memory where the signals are stored in the Binary Canonic Signed Digit (BCSD) representation. Alternatively, the input element is adapted to be fed with digital signals (x) in the two's complement representation, and includes at least one converter (10) for converting the digital signals from the two's complement representation into the Binary Canonic Signed Digit (BCSD) representation. This preferably occurs via the T2I transformation, which leads to generating signals in the Canonic Signed Digit (CSD) representation, which are then converted to the Binary Canonic Signed Digit (BCSD) representation.
Abstract:
In communication systems such as CDMA systems, the information is transmitted by using encoded sequences ( c j ) consisting of orthogonal codes chosen from between Hadamard codes and OVSF codes. The symbols of the sequences are generated in a dynamic way as symbols b(r n r 1 r 0 , c n c 1 c 0 ) belonging to a respective matrix, according to the formula b ( r n .. r 1 r 0 , c n .. c 1 c 0 ) = c n ·r n ¯ ⊕ ¯ ... ⊕ ¯ c 2 · r 2 ¯ ⊕ ¯ r 1 · c 1 ¯ ⊕ ¯ c 0 · r 0 ¯ where r n r 1 r 0 , c n c 1 c 0 designate the row and column coordinates of the symbol expressed in binary form, and the symbol ⊕ designates the logic-sum operator, or according to the expressions equivalent to said formula in terms of Boolean algebra.
Abstract:
A digital AM demodulator, particularly for demodulating a signal (x) originating from a tuner, comprising:
means (13) for generating a first carrier (ω a t) which is not correlated with the input signal (x) to be demodulated; first means (3) for multiplying the first carrier (ω a t) by the input signal (x) to be demodulated; filtering means (1, 2), arranged upstream and downstream of said multiplier means (3) and adapted to eliminate unwanted spectral repeats; the particularity of which is the fact that it comprises means (15) for detecting the phase shift between the pulse (ω i ) of the input signal (x) to be demodulated and a local carrier (ω o t) and means (18) for correlating the first carrier with the input signal, the first carrier and the local carrier being mutually correlated, the local carrier not being correlated with the input signal to be demodulated.
Abstract:
A digital demodulator for angle-modulated (PM, FM) signals comprises:
an input module (1, 2) for generating, starting from the modulated signal (s fm ), a first component (cosφ(n)) and a second component (sinφ(n)) in quadrature with respect to one another, said components in quadrature being representative of the real part and of the imaginary part of the modulating signal (s'(t); s"(t)) represented as a complex variable; and a processing module (4) able to generate an output signal, calculating the arctangent function of the ratio between said imaginary part and said real part, the output signal identifying the demodulated signal (s'(t); s"(t)).
The processing module (4) acts on the components in quadrature either directly, in the case of phase demodulation, or indirectly, in the case of frequency demodulation. In the latter case, the above-mentioned real component and imaginary component are calculated, respectively, as the sum of the products of each of the components in quadrature with a corresponding delayed version, and as the difference of the cross products of each of the two components in quadrature with a version delayed in time of the other component in quadrature. The demodulator may be implemented either as a dedicated hardware unit, or else resorting to a computer program product for DSP or microprocessor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a switched capacitor low-pass filter of a type which incorporates a plurality of integrator stages cascade connected together. The filter comprises at least one stage including the circuit device for cancelling out glitch pulses. This device is a deglitching circuit provided within the filter.
