Definitions
- the present invention relates to communications-related systems and methods as well as digital signal processing devices and methods. More particularly, the invention is directed to the field of spread spectrum (SS) communication that employs a SS transmitter and a SS receiver, or SS transceiver configured to convey a message in a transmitted SS signal by spectrally spreading the message signal on transmission and correlating on reception so as to "despread" the SS signal and recover the message signal.
- SS spread spectrum
- Spread spectrum radio communication addresses the shortcomings of narrowband radio communications by combining a wideband spreading signal with the message signal so as to spectrally spread the message signal.
- the transmitter also modulates an RF carrier with a message, as with the narrowband systems, but then adds one more step by modulating the resulting signal with a wideband, noise-like spreading signal (e.g. a PN code). Consequently, the message signal is spread in frequency over a much larger bandwidth, typically by ten to a thousand fold.
- Common spread spectrum techniques include frequency hopping and direct sequence. Frequency hopping systems drive (i.e., "hop") the message modulated carrier to frequencies following a pseudo-random pattern defined by a spreading code.
- Direct sequence systems combine a spreading code with the message modulated carrier to create a signal which occupies about the bandwidth of the spreading signal.
- Narrowband interference signals transmitted at the same frequency as a portion of the desired spread signal "jam" the spread signal by an amount proportional to the ratio of jammer bandwidth to spread bandwidth.
- the narrowband interfering signal is attenuated by a "process gain" of the spread spectrum system, where process gain is defined as a ratio of spread signal bandwidth to message signal bandwidth.
- process gain is defined as a ratio of spread signal bandwidth to message signal bandwidth.
- spread spectrum signals also offer some degree of immunity to multipath fading and distortions.
- a narrow band-reject filter placed prior to the spread spectrum correlator provides narrowband interference rejection far in excess of the process gain.
- Souissi (U.S. Patent 5,671,247) teaches a frequency domain technique to remove narrowband jammers from a received spread spectrum signal. Souissi converts a received signal into the frequency domain where the signal components are represented by magnitude and phase. The magnitude of all signal components are normalized, thereby reducing the effects of narrowband jammers. The resultant signal components are then converted back into the time domain for message demodulation.
- Blanchard U.S. Patent 5,612,978 also teaches the use of frequency domain techniques to reject narrowband interference. Frequency bins in which narrowband energy is detected are removed. The circuit contains a delay element to account for the time required for the FFT processing. It also requires the use of noise estimation for proper operation.

- a new and improved spread spectrum radio receiver and method for narrow-band interference rejection in a received signal transmitted by a spread spectrum transmitter including transforming the received signal to a frequency domain signal and identifying narrow-band interference components in the frequency domain signal; suppressing the identified narrow-band interference components by excising the identified narrow-band interference components from the frequency domain signal to produce an interference excised signal in the frequency domain, and storing in a memory frequencies corresponding to the identified narrow-band interference components; synchronizing a receiver code to a transmitter code in the frequency domain using the interference excised signal; generating coefficients for a time domain filter that includes notches at the frequencies corresponding to the excised narrow-band interference components and that jointly despreads and rejects narrow-band interference from said excised frequencies; applying the coefficients generated in the preceding step to the time domain filter; and despreading and filtering in real time in the time domain the received signal using the applied coefficients.

- the present invention resolves both frequency difference between a receiver and a transmitter and the spreading code delay (time difference) between a receiver and a transmitter.
- a transmitter is shown in Figure 1 A where a carrier wave generated by a frequency source 102 is modulated 104 by a message 106. The resultant signal is then modulated 108 by a spreading code 110 to achieve the benefits of spread spectrum communications. This signal is then amplified at amplifier 112 prior to transmission via antenna 114. Frequency source 102 will generate the carrier wave as well as control the timing of both the message 106 and the timing of the spreading code generator 110.

- FIG. 2 The method of the present invention is shown in Figure 2 where the process starts at block 205. There a desired signal search is performed in block 210 where a frequency domain method performs narrow-band interference rejection. Decision block 215 determines whether or not a desired signal has been detected (synchronization has occurred), and returns to block 210 if no signal is present. Once a desired signal has been detected, the process proceeds to block 220 where matched filter coefficients are computed that both 1) despread the desired spread spectrum signal and 2) reject narrowband jammers (interference) by including a notch in the filter frequency response for each jammer.
- the method then proceeds to the time domain where blocks 225 and 230 despread and demodulate the received message using matched filters calculated in block 220.
- the demodulation process continues until the message is complete.
- search mode resumes at block 210 using the frequency domain method.
- the matched filter computations of block 225 are less than one-sixth of the computations of the FFT alone of block 210.
- This method thus minimizes overall computation compared to prior art.
- the prior art computes an FFT and an inverse FFT for each demodulated message bit.
- the narrowband interference remains stationary over the message duration for this technique to be maximally effective. This technique detects narrowband (NB) interference only once, at the beginning of a message.
- NB narrowband
- a digitally sampled signal record 302 of M spreading code periods is multiplied 304 by a data taper window 306, also of M spreading code periods.
- the data taper window suppresses spectral leakage of narrow-band interference. (See Gumas as cited above.)
- the signal record 302 is sampled at K samples per code chip.
- the spreading code is L chips in duration.
- the output of multiplier 304 is converted into the frequency domain by a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) 308.
- FFT Fast Fourier Transform
- the prime factor FFT is used as disclosed in the above cross-referenced US patent application 08/929,891.
- the frequency of any narrowband jammers is determined and they are excised (magnitude set to zero) in block 314.
- the frequencies of the excised spectral lines (if any) are recorded in block 316.
- a time-frequency correlation process 320 is performed, followed by a synchronization (desired signal present) process 322.
- the result of the synchronization process is a code delay ⁇ 326 and a frequency error ⁇ 328 (transmitter - receiver frequency difference, i.e., a frequency channel).
- Steps 308, 320, and 322 are disclosed in patent application 08/929,891 as cited above.
- the method 314 for interference rejection is further explained in Figure 4 where the process begins in block 405.
- An initial signal power in all frequency bins is computed in block 410 prior to block 415 where the spectral line with the largest magnitude is selected.
- Block 420 then computes a second signal power in all frequency bins with the selected line removed from the power computation.
- the process proceeds to decision block 425 which computes the difference between the two power calculations. If the difference is less than a predetermined amount delta between the two power calculations, then it is determined that the removed spectral line (from step 415) is from a desired spread spectrum signal, and the process exits through block 430. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, this delta value is equal to 0.4 dB.
- a system with a different configuration requires a different value for delta.
- the difference between the two power calculations is greater than the predetermined delta value, then it is determined that the removed spectral line is from a narrowband jammer. This is due to the fact that a NB jammer will appear with its energy concentrated in one or a few spectral lines. In contrast, the desired signal will appear with its energy divided among all spectral lines.
- the spectral line is excised (magnitude set to zero) in block 435, and then block 440 enters this spectral line into a list of spectral lines that are to be removed by subsequent operations.
- Block 445 re-labels the power calculation from block 420 as the initial signal power value, and then returns process flow to block 415. This process continues until the condition in block 425 is satisfied and spectral lines from narrow band jammers are excised and listed. These excised lines are recorded in step 316 of Figure 3. This is the preferred embodiment of block 314.
- the steps in Figure 3 represent the minimum number of steps in a narrow-band interference rejecting synchronizer of the present invention. Additional steps are available to decrease computational loading of the DSP device. The first of these steps is shown in block 510 of Figure 5.
- This downsampling step reduces the computational load on the DSP by a factor of M, the number of code periods in the data record. M is equal to 3 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the data taper window is a member of the three frequency term window family of which the Blackman window is an example.
- M can take on the value of one, two, or more.
- a message preamble of constant symbols for receiver synchronization followed by message information symbols is transmitted in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- This downsampling step does not degrade the desired signal energy of the message preamble because the signal energy of constant symbols is zero in the cast off samples.
- a band-limiting step 612 is shown in Figure 6 that retains only the center 1/K data points of the desired signal frequency spectrum. This reduces the computational load on the DSP device by a factor of K. K is equal to 4 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. One skilled in the art recognizes that K can take on the value of one, two, or more. This band-limiting step does not degrade the desired signal energy if the corresponding transmitter is similarly band-limited.
- the preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 7. It contains all of the aforementioned techniques to reduce computational loading.
- the preferred embodiment includes the downsampler 710 and the band-limiting block 712 to reduce the computational loading from (M * K * L) to L.
- L is the number of chips in the spreading code, which represents the minimum number of data points necessary to calculate a full process gain code delay correlation in a spread spectrum receiver.
- the order of blocks 710 and 712 is interchangeable.
- One result of the methods in Figures 3 through 7 is to determine signal detection (desired signal present) and a synchronization condition.
- an additional result of the process from Figures 3 through 7 is a list of spectral lines that were the result of narrowband jammers (interference).
- This list which is stored in memory, is used to generate a set of I Q matched filter coefficients that will jointly 1) reject the detected narrowband interference, 2) despread the received spread spectrum signal, and alternately 3) downconvert the signal from a near-baseband signal to baseband, 4) band limit the signal, and 5) channelize (remove the transmitter/receiver frequency error) the signal.
- the method 220 for generating the I/Q matched filter coefficients is explained in Figure 8.
- M periods of the spreading code digitized at K samples per chip 832 are converted into the frequency domain by FFT block 838.
- Block 840 performs a complex conjugate operation on the output of block 838.
- the frequency error ⁇ 328 is used by the frequency shift block 818 to frequency shift the output of complex conjugate block 840.
- This is a data indexing process and does not add computational complexity to the signal processing method. In the most elementary receivers frequency error removal is not performed.
- the spectral lines from block 816 are excised by setting the magnitude to zero in block 814.
- the interference rejection block 814 uses the list of spectral lines from block 816.
- the list of interfering lines 816 corresponds to block 316 of Figure 3.
- Inverse FFT block 848 converts this data set into the time domain.
- the complex output inverse FFT produces I (real part) and Q (complex part) sequences.
- the resulting signal is combined with data taper window 806 (similar to the data taper window 306 from Figure 3) in multiplier 850.
- the result is the set of I/Q filter coefficients 852. These coefficients are uniquely generated each time the receiver locks onto a desired spread spectrum signal. Step 838 is disclosed in patent application 08/929,891 above cross-referenced.
- Figure 8 represent the minimum number of steps required to calculate the matched filter I/Q coefficients. Additional steps may be added to increase the computational efficiency of the DSP device.
- Figure 9 requires only one period of the spreading code 932, but adds the up-sampling step 946 to replicate M code periods in the matched filter coefficients. (The upsampling by a factor of M adds M-l zeroes between the existing data points.)
- the list of interfering lines 916 corresponds to block 516 of Figure 5.
- Figure 10 requires M periods of the spreading code 1032.
- the band-limiting step 1042 and zero pad step 1044 are added to reduce the computational loading of the center part of the method.
- the zero pad function block 1044 appends [(K-l) * L] zero values beyond the Nyquist frequency of the data points from 1014 to bring the number of data points up to (M * K * L). This produces an ideal band-limited reference code at K samples per code chip.
- the list of interfering lines 1016 corresponds to block 616 of Figure 6.
- FIG. 11 The preferred embodiment of the present invention is depicted in Figure 11.
- This Figure shows one period of the spreading code in block 1132, a band-limiting step 1142, a zero pad step 1144, and an up-sampling step 1146. This provides highest computational efficiency.
- the list of interfering lines 1116 corresponds to block 716 of Figure 7.
- the order of blocks 1144 and 1146 is interchangeable.
- Block 1202 shows a signal record of M code periods in length. This signal record is obtained similarly to block 302 from Figure 3. It is sampled at delay ⁇ 326 as determined by the synchronization method to align the transmitter and receiver codes in time.
- the in-phase and quadrature (I and Q) portions of the message signal are extracted by matched filter 1254.
- the matched filter coefficients are the output 852, 952, 1052 or 1152 of Figure 8, 9, 10 or 11 respectively.
- the frequency response of the matched filter includes a notch for each jammer.
- the output of block 1254 contains information from M code periods of the message.
- IIR filter 1262 removes the inter-symbol interference (symbol-smearing effect) and extracts the present message symbol I and Q values for demodulator block 1264.
- FIG. 13 An alternative to the method of Figure 2 is shown in Figure 13.
- the method of Figure 2 maintains the same set of matched coefficients throughout the lifetime of the message.
- narrowband jammers can appear and disappear more often. This may be due to pulsed narrowband transmitters or a slow frequency hopping transmitter residing in the same frequency band as the spread spectrum receiver.
- steps 1335 and 1340 are added to the method of Figure 2.
- Block 1335 performs a frequency domain search for narrowband jammers.
- the method of block 1335 is explained by the block diagram of Figure 3. Note that since the receiver has already achieved a synchronization condition, blocks 320 and 322 are not executed as part of block 1335.
- the list of interfering spectral lines 316 is the only output of interest from the execution of block 1335. This list is used to update the matched filter coefficients. Depending on the configuration of the receiver, block 1335 may operate in parallel with the demodulation block 1325. Decision block 1340 tests whether or not the jammer rejection list has been completed. If a new jammer rejection list has been completed, then the process proceeds to block 1320; otherwise, the process proceeds to block 1325.
- Block 1335 has corresponding explanations in the block diagrams of Figures 5, 6, and 7.
- the method of Figure 14 may be required in highly dynamic environments. If it is necessary to update the interfering spectral line list every message symbol, the most computationally efficient approach is depicted in Figure 14 where the entire process takes place in the frequency domain.
- the process starts in block 1405 and then proceeds to block 1410 where a frequency domain method as disclosed above (210) performs signal acquisition with narrow-band interference rejection.
- Decision block 1415 determines whether or not a desired signal has been detected, and returns to block 1410 if no signal is present. Once a desired signal has been detected, the process proceeds to block 1425 where a frequency domain method is executed that both 1) despreads the desired spread spectrum signal and 2) rejects narrowband jammers (interference) by excising the jammer spectral lines. Block 1425 then demodulates the message symbol.
- decision block 1430 proceeds to block 1425 to 1) identify and excise narrowband jammers, 2) matched filter despread, and 3) demodulate another message symbol. If the message is complete, block 1430 proceeds to block 1410 to resume search mode.
- M periods of the spreading code are applied to FFT 1538 and then to complex conjugate block 1540, to produce the reference code signal 1556.
- This reference code can be pre-computed and stored in memory to alleviate the real-time computing resources of the DSP device.
- the input signal record of M code periods 1502 is multiplied 1504 by a data taper window of length M code periods 1506.
- the result is converted into the frequency domain by FFT 1508 and then the narrowband jammers are removed in block 1514 similarly to block 314 of Figure 3.
- Block 1518 performs a frequency shift.
- the reference code 1556 consisting of M periods of code, is multiplied 1558 by the M periods of interference excised data (output of block 1518). This signal is then summed in 1560 producing the I (in-phase) and Q (quadrature) message symbol components.
- block 1560 is replaced by an inverse FFT.
- One output point of the prior art inverse FFT is the despread desired signal. By sampling the received signal at delay ⁇ as in block 1502, the despread signal appears in the center output point of the prior art inverse FFT.
- the center point of an inverse FFT is the average of the input points.
- a summation of the input points is shown in block 1560 (a summation is a scaled average). This replaces the prior art inverse FFT with a simpler computation.
- the output of block 1560 contains information from M code periods of the message.
- IIR filter 1562 removes the inter-symbol interference (symbol- smearing effect) and extracts the present message symbol I and Q values for demodulator block 1564.
- the steps in Figure 15 represent the minimum number of steps in a frequency domain narrow-band interference rejecting despreader of the present invention. Additional steps are available to decrease computational loading of the DSP device. The first of these steps is shown in block 1610 of Figure 16. This downsampling step reduces the computational load on the DSP by a factor of M, the number of code periods in the data record. M is equal to 3 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. One skilled in the art recognizes that M can take on the value of one, two, or more. This also allows one period of code 1632 to be input into the process instead of the M periods of code 1532 from Figure 15.
- band-limiting steps 1742 and 1712 are shown in Figure 17 that retain only the center 1/K data points from both the code reference thread (blocks 1732, 1738, 1742, and 1756) and the desired signal input thread (blocks 1702, 1704, 1706, 1708, 1712, 1714, and 1718) in the frequency spectrum.
- K is equal to 4 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- K can take on the value of one, two, or more. This band-limiting step does not degrade the desired signal energy if the corresponding transmitter is similarly band-limited.
- Figure 18 The method of Figure 18 is the most computationally efficient implementation of a frequency domain narrow-band interference rejecting spread spectrum receiver.
- Figure 18 shows one period of the spreading code in block 1832, downsampling step 1810, and band-limiting steps 1842 and 1812. This provides highest efficiency by reducing the computational loading from (M * K * L) to L.
- L is the number of chips in the spreading code, which represents the minimum number of data points required by a spread spectrum receiver to demodulate a message symbol with full process gain.
- the order of blocks 1810 and 1812 is interchangeable.
- the invention may also be implemented by the preparation of application specific integrated circuits or by interconnecting an appropriate network of conventional component circuits, as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
- the present invention includes a computer program product which is a storage medium including instructions which can be used to program a computer to perform processes of the invention.
- the storage medium can include, but is not limited to, any type of disk including floppy disks, optical discs, CD-ROMs, and magneto-optical disks, ROMs, RAMs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, magnetic or optical cards, or any type of media, including hard drives, suitable for storing electronic instructions.
