Time history display of orthogonal code power levels

摘要

A time history display of orthogonal code power levels by spreading factor is generated by displaying each data record of code domain power as a line, with each point in the line representing a different code index and the color or brightness of each data point representing the associated base code power level. With the data records displayed as contiguous lines, as each new data record is acquired it is added as a new line of the display while the line representing the oldest data record is deleted from the display. For communications standards where the code spreading factor varies, both bit-reversed and Walsh code graphs are displayed to show the grouping of the sub-codes that make up a base code. In this way the time history display indicates timing and trend information to a user.
