Abstract
A method is providing for calculating local oscillator phase errors in a code division multiple access (CDMA) receiver using an arctangent calculation of the difference vectors between sample stream (multipath) delays. Instead of the conventional cross-product calculation of pilot symbols, a phase correction, using both real and imaginary parts of the complex conjugate, is preformed in each sample stream delay path before the step of maximal-ratio combining (MRC). The weighted combination is then selectively filtered and accumulated, depending on whether the automatic frequency control (AFC) loop is tracking or acquiring. Then, an arctangent polynomial approximation is used to find the actual phase error. An AFC system using the above-mentioned MRC combination and arctangent calculation of phase error is also provided.
