Rake time as a receiver for the forward link for ds - cdma - systems and method therefor

摘要

A receiver has been provided, with a pre-whitening filter, to improve the probability of recovering a received signal in the presence of colored noise. Colored noise can be multipath or transmission signals to other receivers in the same spectral bandpass. The receiver system uses colored noise statistics to provide an optimal estimation in the despreading of the transmitted information. Auxiliary systems in the receiver cancel the pilot, or system acquisition symbols, improving even further the probability or recovering information in the despreading of transmitted signal. A method of pre-whitening a signal received in the presence of colored noise is also provided.
