摘要:
A method includes generating a sampling signal having a non-uniform sampling interval and sampling a received signal with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using the sampling signal. The method also includes mapping the sampled received signal onto a frequency grid of sinusoids, where each sinusoid has a signal amplitude and a signal phase. The method further includes estimating the signal amplitude and the signal phase for each sinusoid in the frequency grid. In addition, the method includes computing an average background power level and detecting signals with power higher than the average background power level. The non-uniform sampling interval varies predictably.

A cognitive signal converter connectable to an analog signal source via an analog signal input port and adapted to produce a digital output signal based on an analog input signal received via the analog signal input port is disclosed. The cognitive signal converter comprises an analog-to-digital converter and a cognitive network. The analog-to-digital converter is adapted to produce a digital converted signal based on the analog input signal, a sample clock signal and a process clock signal by sampling the analog input signal in accordance with the sample clock signal and quantizing each analog input signal sample, wherein the quantizing process is operated by the process clock signal. The cognitive network is adapted to receive the digital converted signal of the analog-to-digital converter, control at least one of the sample clock signal and the process clock signal based on the received digital converted signal and one or more characteristics of the analog signal source, and produce the digital output signal based on the received digital converted signal. Corresponding integrated circuit, electronic device and method are also disclosed.

摘要:
A radio frequency receiver includes an antenna that receives an analog signal comprising modulated encoded information. An analog signal generator generates a supplemental analog signal characterized by an amplitude sufficient to trigger a voltage threshold in a non-uniform sampling analog-to-digital converter. A mixer mixes the received signal and the supplemental signal. A non-uniform sampling analog-to-digital converter receives the mixed signal and produces a series of non-uniformly sampled {amplitude, time} tuples representing the mixed signal. The converter removes the supplemental signal from the series of {amplitude, time} tuples to produce a series of non-uniformly sampled {amplitude, time} tuples representative of the mixed signal without the supplemental signal. The converter interpolates the series of non-uniformly sampled {amplitude, time} tuples to form a series of samples periodic in time representative of the analog input signal. A digital signal processor (DSP) demodulates the interpolated series and decode the digital information from the demodulated series.
摘要:
Analog-to-digital conversion is performed on a received an analog input signal. A supplemental analog signal is generated. The supplemental analog signal is characterized by an amplitude sufficient to trigger each voltage threshold in a non-uniform sampling analog- to-digital converter. The received analog input signal and the generated supplemental signal are mixed. The non-uniform sampling analog-to-digital converter converts the mixed analog signal, producing a series of {amplitude, time} tuples representative of the mixed signal. The series of {amplitude, time} tuples are interpolated to form a series of samples periodic in time representative of the mixed signal. The supplemental signal is removed from the interpolated series.
