Solution Overview

Problem

Wireless communication technologies face limitations in achieving long-range communication due to interference, which results in a large difference between average and peak power of transmit signals, leading to reduced communication range and quality.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a wireless transmitter that generates a transmit signal using a phase rotation sequence with a frequency response bandwidth, which is up-sampled and frequency-shifted to ensure high power efficiency and non-overlapping transmission spectra, reducing interference and extending communication range.

1Length of stationary object

If binary spreading codes are used for long-range wireless communication, then communication range is extended, but the difference between average power and peak power of transmit signal increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter of the spreading code from binary phase shift keying (BPSK) to quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), transitioning from ±1 values to ±1±j values. This parameter change in the modulation scheme fundamentally alters the power characteristics of the spread signal, reducing the peak-to-average power ratio while maintaining the spreading gain necessary for long-range communication.

Solution Approach 1:

By changing the modulation parameter from binary to quadrature phase shift keying, the patent reduces the peak-to-average power ratio of the transmitted signal. This allows the power amplifier to operate closer to its saturation point without producing significant non-linear distortion, thereby increasing available transmit power while maintaining communication quality.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the modulation scheme from BPSK to QPSK, which effectively doubles the data rate for the same spreading factor. This parameter change in the modulation order allows the system to maintain higher transmission rates while achieving the same noise resistance and communication range performance.

AI summary

A transmitter includes: a phase rotation sequence generation unit (110) that generates, on the basis of transmit bits being input, a phase rotation sequence in which a frequency response has a bandwidth; an up-sampling unit (111) that changes a sample rate of the phase rotation sequence and further replicates the phase rotation sequence; and a frequency shift unit (112) that shifts, by a specified amount of shift on a frequency axis, a frequency component of the phase rotation sequence acquired from the up-sampling unit (111).
