    摘要: Embodiments of a method and a system for generating a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value that corresponds to a radio frequency (RF) signal are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for generating an RSSI value that corresponds to an RF signal involves obtaining an attenuation factor code in response to applying an automatic gain control (AGC) operation to the RF signal, obtaining an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) code in response to applying an ADC operation to a signal that results from the AGC operation, and combining the attenuation factor code and the ADC code to generate an RSSI value. Other embodiments are also described.

    摘要: Systems and methods for an auto-ranging temperature sensor are provided. In at least one embodiment, a system for sensing and measuring temperature comprises at least one analog signal amplifier that generates an amplified analog signal output based on an analog signal from at least one of a biased thermistor circuit and a calibration circuit and a digital to analog converter that generates an analog offset signal as an input to the at least one analog signal amplifier, wherein the analog offset signal shifts the amplified analog signal within an analog to digital converter input operating range when the amplified analog signal is equal to or greater than a limit of the analog to digital converter input operating range, wherein the analog offset signal is determined based on the magnitude of the amplified analog signal.

    摘要: An A/D system (10) provides an expanded SFDR when compared to the SFDR of individual A/D(s) that make up the A/D system. In response to an analog input signal(s) whose amplitude would result in a narrower SFDR for a first A/D (12), the A/D system uses an amplitude adjuster (14) which receives the analog input signal and produces an amplitude-limited signal with resulting signal distortion (S + D) to the first A/D (12). By amplitude-limiting the analog input signal, the A/D system produces the resulting signal distortion but reduces or "clips" the amplitude of the analog input signal, thereby improving the SFDR performance of the first A/D by reducing the spurious distortion produced by the first A/D. The signal distortion (D) resulting from the amplitude adjustment is routed to a second A/D (15). The first A/D converts the amplitude-limited analog signal to a digital signal (S 1 + D 1 ) with an expanded SFDR due to the lower amplitude of the adjusted analog signal. The second A/D (15) receives the portion of the analog input signal removed by clipping which can be referred to as the signal distortion (D). The second A/D converts the signal distortion, which typically has a lower amplitude than the adjusted analog signal, to a digital signal (D1) with at least an acceptable SFDR. The A/D system combines (16) the resulting digital signals from the first and second A/Ds to produce the desired converted digital signal with an extended SFDR. The SFDR is extended because the relative difference is increased between the amplitudes of the digital output signal and the spurious distortion when compared to the amplitudes of the digital output signal and the spurious distortion if the analog input signal has been converted by the first A/D without amplitude adjustment.

    摘要: A first measuring signal (u(t)) proportional to the voltage and a second measuring signal proportional to the current are compared, in a comparator, with a periodic reference signal (Ur(t)). In each half-period of the reference signal (Ur(t)) is established, by means of a sampling pulse count a digital value corresponding to the instantaneous value ((Alpha)u1; (Alpha)u2) of the first measuring signal (u(t)) at the time (P1; P2) when it is equal to that of the reference signal (Ur(t)) and a digital value corresponding to the instantaneous value of the second measuring signal at the time when it is equal to that of the reference signal and both these values are multiplied between each other. In an alternative, a digital value corresponding to the mean value ((Alpha)U1; (Alpha)U2) of the first measuring signal (u(t)) and a digital value corresponding to the mean value of the second measuring signal are established and multiplied between each other, within each period (Tr) of the reference signal (Ur(t)) as well as within each period (T'r) and compassing the second half period as the following first half period of the reference signal. The doubling of the frequency at which the values are established is thereby provided, leading to a division by four of the measuring errors.
