AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The solution enables easy control of sensitivity without degrading system performance, reduces the size and cost of the DSRC receiver, and allows for seamless integration with GPS or DMB chips, improving communication efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs.

Problems solved by technology

As a part of multiplexing technology, the use of an SDM means that an undesirable interference signal may be generated from an adjacent ETCS cell.
Further, in order to clearly define a communication area within a wide temperature variation range, a very delicate set of the sensitivity is required together with exact transmission power.
However, disadvantages of such a control method are as follows.
Because a system noise figure of the receiver is determined as a function of gains and noise figures of all the structural circuits, it is significantly difficult to linearly control a noise figure of a specific circuit by controlling a gain or the noise figure of the specific circuit.
Moreover, since the BER obtained with a maximum system performance index in a minimum input power, is obtained by artificially degrading a performance of a system when the sensitivity is set to a great value, a system of an optimal performance may be not obtained, and it is difficult to define a clear communication distance.
Meanwhile, since a conventional base station for DSRC is configured by a hybrid module configuration of high manufacturing cost and cost burden, it is implemented in a number of construction chips and external components.
This causes the occurrence of a cost burden.
The base station for DSRC implemented in a hybrid module configuration has a disadvantage that it may not be integrated with chips such as GPS or DMB.
The reason why is that since an IF frequency of the conventional ASK receiver for DSRC reception is a high frequency of approximately 40 MHz, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) is used as the IF filter, and since a size of a filter processing a high IF frequency is large, the IF filter may not be integrated in the ASK receiver chipset.
In the ASK receiver for DSRC reception having a high IF frequency, since the IF filter is positioned in an outside of the ASK receiver chipset, it is difficult to match the ASK receiver chipset and the IF filter with each other.
Moreover, a size of the ASK receiver is increased, thereby increasing a cost.

Abstract

Disclosed is a wireless communication system, more particularly, a receiver and a chipset for DSRC. A receiver includes: a low noise amplifier (LNA) amplifying a received radio (RF) signal while minimizing amplification of noise included in the received RF signal; a mixer down-converting a frequency of an output signal of the LNA to output an intermediate frequency (IF) signal; a frequency synthesizer generating and outputting a frequency signal for the frequency-down conversion of the mixer to the mixer; a bandpass filter passing a necessary band of a channel in an output signal of the mixer; a log amplifier amplifying an output signal of the bandpass filter in log scale and outputting a received signal strength indicator of an output signal of the bandpass filter; a detector comparing an output of the log amplifier with a predetermined binary threshold value, outputting a first binary signal when the output of the log amplifier is less than the predetermined binary threshold value, and outputting a second binary signal when the output of the log amplifier is equal to or greater than the predetermined binary threshold value; a switch serially connected with an output terminal of the detector; and a switch controller comparing the received signal strength indicator of the output signal of the log amplifier with an RSSI threshold, opening the switch when the received signal strength indicator is less than the RSSI threshold, and closing the switch when the received signal strength indicator is equal to or grater than the RSSI threshold.
