Abstract

A Time Division Duplex (TDD), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) communication system includes a plurality of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) and an Access Point (AP) that communicate through RF links. A CPE contains a receiver baseband subsystem and a transmitter baseband subsystem, and further contains receiver circuitry operable during a receive period for receiving an RF carrier from the AP and for deriving a receiver tracking signal that is indicative of a frequency and phase shift between the received RF carrier and a reference signal. The receiver circuitry further includes a frequency to phase accumulator (FPA) and a digital phase shifter (DPS) for correcting the frequency and phase of a receiver baseband signal by an amount and in a direction indicated by the receiver tracking signal. CPE transmitter circuitry is operable during a next transmission period for operating the FPA and DPS circuitry to correct the frequency of a transmitter baseband signal by an amount indicated by the receiver tracking signal, and in a direction opposite to the direction indicated by the receiver tracking signal.
