ABSTRACT:
A method of noise factor computation for a chip equalizer in a spread spectrum receiver, the method including the steps of: computing channel and noise variance estimates for multiple resolvable fading paths of chip signals received at the spread spectrum receiver; computing the sum of power of the channel estimates; estimating the chip energy of the chip signals; and computing the noise factor from the chip energy estimate, channel and noise variance estimates, sum of power of the channel estimates, and spreading factor of the pilot signal.
