Noise distribution shaping for signals, particularly spread spectrum signals like CDMA signals, with improved robustness

摘要

Noise distribution shaping for signals, particularly for the application in receivers for CDMA signals. An embodiment provides a method for noise distribution shaping for signals comprising the acts of generating a blanking control signal by comparing a received signal comprising transitions with at least one blanking threshold, determining transitions of the received signal and zones around the determined transitions, and generating a transitions control signal comprising the determined transitions and zones, adapting the at least one blanking threshold or the received signal according to an offset value depending on the amplitude of the received signal and on the transitions control signal, and modifying the noise distribution of the received signal by applying blanking of the received signal under control of the blanking control signal.
