Abstract  Abstract

A transmitter in a radiocommunications system such as a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) communications system transmits one set of data on an in-phase (I-) channel and another set of data on a quadrature (Q-) channel. The transmitter generates a gain signal beta and multiplies the digital data associated with the Q-channel by the gain signal beta . Complexity of the multiplication operation is reduced by limiting the gain signal beta to a finite nubmer of values that are exactly representable by a predefined number of bits such as 4-bit values to the right of a binary radix point. Modulation inaccuracy associated with quantization of beta can be eliminated by utilizing the same quantized values of beta in all components within the radiocommunications system.

A transmitter in a radiocommunications system such as a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) communications system transmits one set of data on an in-phase (I-) channel and another set of data on a quadrature (Q-) channel. The transmitter generates a gain signal ? and multiplies the digital data associated with the Q-channel by the gain signal ?. Complexity of the multiplication operation is reduced by limiting the gain signal ? to a finite nubmer of values that are exactly representable by a predefined number of bits such as 4-bit values to the right of a binary radix point. Modulation inaccuracy associated with quantization of ? can be eliminated by utilizing the same quantized values of ? in all components within the radiocommunications system.
