    Abstract: A calibration system comprises an actuator circuit comprising a first delay circuit that receives a plurality of data pulses and a second delay circuit that receives the pulses, wherein one of the first and second delay circuits delays the data pulses independently of the other of the first and second delay circuits; a data switch that receives an output of the actuator circuit including delay data signals of the data pulses from the first and second delay circuits and switches and outputs a plurality of local oscillator (LO) signals for output as a controlled LO signal according to control signals of the delay data signals and applied to the data switch. At least one calibration switch receives the output of the actuator circuit and the plurality of LO+ and LO− signals, and outputs a second controlled LO signal output to a sense circuit.

    Abstract: There is described a contactless communication device. The device comprises (a) a receiver unit (110, 610) having an antenna input (RXn, Vmid, RXp) for connecting to an antenna, the receiver unit (110, 610) being adapted to couple with a transmitting device and to receive an RF signal transmitted by the transmitting device, the receiver unit (110, 610) being further adapted to determine a point of time relating to a position of data within the RF signal, (b) a comparator (120) adapted to generate a comparator output signal (agc_comp) which is indicative of a relation between a voltage at the antenna input (RXn, Vmid, RXp) of the receiver unit (110, 610) and a reference voltage (Vref), and (c) a voltage regulation circuit coupled to the comparator (120) and to the antenna input (RXn, Vmid, RXp) of the receiver unit (110, 610), the voltage regulation circuit being adapted to repetitively regulate the voltage at the antenna input (RXn, Vmid, RXp) based on the comparator output signal (agc_comp). The voltage regulation circuit is adapted to separate each repetitive regulation of the voltage at the antenna input (RXn, Vmid, RXp) by a first time constant prior to the point of time determined by the receiver unit (110, 610) and by a second time constant after the point of time determined by the receiver unit (110, 610), wherein the first time constant is smaller than the second time constant. There is also described a method, a computer program and a computer program product.

    Abstract: The dynamic range of the output of a radar system with a transmitter and receiver can be optimized by determining the phase of a radar reflection signal at the receiver and adjusting the phase so that the in-phase and quadrature components of the signal have equal amplitudes. The phase can be adjusted at the receiver or by adjusting the phase of the output signal at the transmitter.
