ACQUISITION CIRCUIT FOR LOW CHIP RATE OPTION FOR MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A User Equipment (UE) has as circuit that performs the acquisition for the l ow chip rate option of the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) Tim e Division Duplex (TDD) standard as formulated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The present invention implements the detection (10) of the basic SYNC code; the determination (20) of the midamble used and the detection (30) of the superframe timing based on SYNC code modulation sequence. This enables reading of a full Broadcast Channel (BCH) message.
