Abstract

A baseband processor includes a modulating unit and a converting unit. The modulating unit generates an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol by modulating a bit stream. The converting unit converts the OFDM symbol from a frequency domain into a time domain, and adjusts a frequency of the OFDM symbol according to a frequency hopping sequence to perform frequency hopping in a digital domain.

Claims (22)

1. A baseband processor comprising:

a modulating unit configured to generate an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol by modulating a bit stream; and

a converting unit configured to convert the OFDM symbol from a frequency domain into a time domain, and to adjust a frequency of the OFDM symbol according to a frequency hopping sequence to perform frequency hopping in a digital domain and in the time domain,

wherein the converting unit comprises:

a time-frequency code unit configured to generate a band selection signal based on a time-frequency code corresponding to the frequency hopping sequence;

an IFFT unit configured to convert the OFDM symbol from the frequency domain into the time domain; and

a digital mixer configured to perform the frequency hopping of the converted OFDM symbol in the time domain in response to the band selection signal,

wherein the baseband processor further comprises a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert the OFDM symbol provided from the converting unit from the digital domain into an analog domain, and

wherein the digital-to-analog converter has a sampling rate corresponding to at least two frequency bands.

2. The baseband processor of claim 1 , wherein the digital mixer is further configured to adjust the frequency of the converted OFDM symbol by multiplying the OFDM symbol and a rotation phase corresponding to a frequency band indicated by the band selection signal.

3. The baseband processor of claim 1 , wherein the IFFT unit is a 128-point IFFT unit.

4. The baseband processor of claim 1 , wherein the digital-to-analog converter has the sampling rate of about 1,584 MHz.

5. A baseband processor comprising:

a converting unit configured to receive an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, to convert the OFDM symbol from a time domain into a frequency domain, and to adjust a frequency of the OFDM symbol according to a frequency hopping sequence to perform frequency de-hopping in a digital domain and in the time domain; and

a demodulating unit configured to generate a bit stream by demodulating the converted OFDM symbol provided from the converting unit,

wherein the converting unit comprises:

a time-frequency code unit configured to generate a band selection signal based on a time-frequency code corresponding to the frequency hopping sequence;

a digital mixer configured to perform the frequency de-hopping in response to the band selection signal to obtain the OFDM symbol in the time domain; and

a fast Fourier transform unit configured to convert the OFDM symbol in the time domain into the OFDM symbol in the frequency domain,

wherein the baseband processor further comprises an analog-to-digital converter configured to provide the OFDM symbol to the converting unit by converting the OFDM symbol from an analog domain into the digital domain, and

wherein the analog-to-digital converter has a sampling rate corresponding to at least two frequency bands.

6. The baseband processor of claim 5 , wherein the digital mixer is further configured to adjust the frequency of the OFDM symbol by multiplying the OFDM symbol and a rotation phase corresponding to a frequency band indicated by the band selection signal.
