Abstract

This paper presents a single chip implementation of a space-time algorithm for co-channel interference (CCI) and intersymbol interference (lSI) reduction in GSM/DCS systems. The temporal channel for the Viterbi receiver and the beamformer weights for the CCI rejection are estimated jointly by optimizing a suitable cost function for separable space-time channels. Taking into account present day integration capabilities provided by FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), the feasibility is demonstrated of a single chip JSTE solution based on a three processor architecture for carrier beamforming, equalization and demodulation
