Abstract:
An interference cancelling receiver combines data from multiple paths after aligning to transmitter timing, and uses either an equalizer or a Rake receiver to compute symbol estimates. Interference estimates are generated from the symbol estimates, and multiple interference estimates are combined after re-aligning the interference estimates to receiver timing. At least two segments of symbol estimates are computed for each segment of interference cancelled data.Various techniques may be employed for controlling the latency and sequencing of these operations, and the subsystems within the canceller may use different processing clock speeds.

Abstract:
Example embodiments of the systems and methods of dynamic spur mitigation for wireless receivers disclosed herein comprise one or more of a detection module for detecting the presence of a spur and a determination of its frequency, a complex notch filter chain, and a frequency locked loop which ensures that the input spur is notch filtered even if it drifts after detection. When a spur is detected, the frequency of the tone is determined. The spur is then filtered, for example using a phase rotator and a DC separator. The phase rotation is removed in a subsequent stage. The non-DC component from the DC separator is used to track the spur to compensate for any shifting or drifting in the spur.
Abstract:
To realize a GNSS receiver that can perform further optimal correlation processing on a positioning signal phase-modulated by a CBOC signal. A correlation processing module 32 performs correlation processing between a baseband signal and a BOC(1, 1) replica code to output a BOC(1, 1) correlation data, and also performs correlation processing between the baseband signal and a BOC(6, 1) replica code to output a BOC(6, 1) correlation data. A synthesis module 33 uses a BOC(1, 1) synthesizing ratio coefficient G11 and a BOC(6, 1) synthesizing ratio coefficient G61 to synthesize the BOC(1, 1) correlation data with the BOC(6, 1) correlation data, and outputs the synthesized correlation data to a calculation module 30. The calculation module 30 detects a reception environment based on the synthesized correlation data, sets a BOC(1, 1) synthesizing ratio coefficient and a BOC(6, 1) synthesizing ratio coefficient based on the reception environment, and supplies them to the synthesis module 33.
