Flexible and reconfigurable receiver architecture for WCDMA systems with low spreading factors
Ioannis Krikidis, Jean‐Luc Danger, Lírida Naviner · Electronics Letters · 2005
A flexible and reconfigurable receiver architecture for the WCDMA high data rate connections is presented. The proposed architecture consists of a single computational unit featuring the demodulation of one channel path and the suppression of one term of the inter-path interference with minimal configuration logic and routing. This unit is used in a serial fashion to perform the total channel demodulation and IPI suppression. It is controlled by the supervisor, an intelligent architectural element, in order to optimise system performance over a computational power constraint.
