CDMA DEMODULATOR

摘要

A CDMA demodulator which is improved in interference canceling effect even when signals are sent from many communicators. The demodulator receives signals sent from a plurality of communicators and having a frame structure in which a pilot signal having a known pattern is inserted between information signals at regular time intervals. The demodulator includes interference cancellers which demodulate the data transmitted from the communicators, and estimate interference signals. The demodulator estimates the variation of each path of the channels, performs the demodulation of received data, and estimates the interference signal replica. The errors of the interference signal replica decrease as the data pass the interference cancellers, producing a marked interference canceling effect. When the interference cancellation is executed after detecting the reception level of each channel from the total sum of the received electric power of the paths of the channels and determining the ranks of the channels in order of reception level, a further marked interference canceling effect is exhibited.
