Preferably, such an architecture will witness more applicability in the wideband digital receivers for software-defined radio. It is based in passive circuitry followed by two analog-to-digital converters that acquire the incoming analog signal, and then digital signal processing is applied to reconstruct the signal. We will demonstrate clear improvements related to the case when only one analog-to-digital converter is used. Also, this architecture will be validated through several simulations, in which it will be subjected to common modulated signals that confirms the validity of such an architecture.","PeriodicalId":250672,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122412293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem is usually solved by a brute-force method of correlating the incoming signal with the spreading code. In this paper we present a method of obtaining chip-level synchronization for all K users of the system simultaneously. The approach derives from the transpose domain filter (TDF) method, which has been used to obtain bit timing of synchronous CDMA users. We propose a modified TDF to obtain chip timing for asynchronous users, whose solution is implemented efficiently using a parallel bank of multistage Wiener filters (MWFs) for all K users simultaneously. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique in giving near 100% success in timing estimation for heavily loaded systems when Eb/N0 ≥ 0 dB and enough bits, M, e.g. M ≥ 16N, is used to obtain the estimate.","PeriodicalId":250672,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117257902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These allow the small and accurate analog filter to be implemented with deep-submicron digital CMOS process.

In comparison to the common single-shot receiver the amount of computational hardware is significantly reduced by an estimation of the time of signal reception. This allows an a-priori estimation of the code-phase of the satellites in view. The synchronisation to the time code signal must be better than 1 ms for GPS-In-Orbit-Vehicles(IOVs) to take effect which is here realized by using the german DCF77 signal with an precision of 250 ns under ideal circumstances. Regarding all uncertainties in time and the amount of signal processing power required for the time synchronisation the computational effort for the advanced single-shot receiver can be cut down by a factor of two.","PeriodicalId":250672,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122260071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
