Phase error correction using despread signals
First Claim
1. A WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) receiver comprising:
- a phase error correction unit connected to receive an input signal having a phase error and adapted to generate an output signal having a corrected phase error; and
a despreader adapted to despread a data signal;
wherein said despreader is connected to said phase error correction unit to provide the despread data signal to said phase error correction unit, and said phase error correction unit is arranged for correcting the phase error dependent on said despread data signal.

Abstract
A phase error correction technique in receivers such as WLAN receivers is provided. Such receivers comprise a phase error correction unit connected to receive an input signal having a phase error and adapted to generate an output signal having a corrected phase error. Further, the receiver comprises a despreader which is adapted to despread a data signal. The despreader is connected to the phase error correction unit to provide the despread data signal to the phase error correction unit. The phase error correction unit is arranged for correcting the phase error dependent on the despread data signal. The despreader may be a Barker matched filter or a CCK matched filter, and there may be provided a multiplexer for selecting one of the filters.
