    摘要: A reference device determines its distance from a communication device by first using a training process to determine a calibrated time delay for the communication device when the communication device is at a known distance from the reference device. The calibrated time delay is a steady state internal processing delay for the communication device. Subsequently, when the reference device is at an unknown distance from the communication device, the reference device determines the unknown distance using the previously determined calibrated time delay along with a measured signal travel time at the unknown distance.

    摘要: A radio receiver (300) having a multi-state variable threshold automatic gain control (AGC) for fast channel scanning acquisition includes an amplifier (303) having an automatic gain control (AGC) for controlling the gain of a receiver analog signal. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (311) is used for converting the receiving analog signal to a digital signal while a digital signal processor (DSP) (325) operates to process the digital signal. A signal magnitude estimator (315) in an AGC controller (313) provides a signal strength estimate of the received signal. The AGC controller (313) then sets the receiver amplifier (303) for an open-loop AGC operational mode and sets a first threshold for triggering an interrupt service request (ISR). This ISR is provided the DSP (325) and the host processor (327) if a radio frequency (RF) signal is detected above a first threshold during a priority scan of a priority channel to minimize interruptions in audio during priority scan.

    摘要: A receiver (100) includes an audio section (200) which provides for compensated squelch settings which are automatically adjustable for changes in operating conditions such as changes in temperature or receiver channel spacing. Temperature circuit (128) provides a temperature signal (134) and controller (122) provides a signal indicating the channel spacing being used by receiver (100). The two signals are combined and formed into an address word which is in turn used to look-up a compensation word from memory location (218). The compensation word is then combined to a default squelch word by adder (216) providing for a compensated squelch word. The compensated squelch word automatically adjusts the squelch circuit's threshold level in order to compensate for changes in operational conditions affecting the squelch circuit.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for correcting direct current (DC) offset errors of a received signal in a direct conversion receiver (DCR) are provided. DC offset correction algorithms are incorporated into the DCR, each algorithm being optimized for a particular receive signal operating environment. The DC offset correction algorithms remove DC offset errors in baseband In-phase and Quadrature-phase signals received within the direct conversion receiver baseband signal path. Individual DC offset correction algorithms are selected for use as determined by a signal quality estimator component. A DC offset correction component of the direct conversion receiver determines an appropriate DC offset correction algorithm suited for a particular operating environment. A criterion for a signal quality estimate is set to control transitioning between DCOC algorithms. A dual threshold strategy may be adopted to transition between one DC offset correction algorithm and another DC offset correction algorithm to provide hysteresis.

    摘要: A method for correcting I/Q imbalance in a received signal is disclosed. The method includes the steps of grouping (202) the received signal into a predetermined number of clusters, and determining (204) at least one coefficient value by feeding the predetermined number of clusters into a nested loop. The method further includes computing (206) a compensation value based on the at least one coefficient value, and correcting (208) the I/Q imbalance in the received signal by using the compensation value.

    摘要: A coupling device (100) for coupling RF energy on a transmission line (101) to a forward coupler (107) and a reverse coupler (113). The coupling device (100) includes a first coupling structure (121) and second coupling structure (125) which are parallel plate structures positioned a predetermined distance in a plane parallel to the transmission line (101), forward coupler (107) and reverse coupler (113). The first coupling structure (121) and second coupling structure (125) are used to increase the coupling coefficient and directivity of the forward coupler (107) and reverse coupler (113). One or more vias (139, 141) are used to connect forward coupler (107) and reverse coupler (113) to the first coupling structure (121) and the second coupling structure (125). The addition of the first coupling structure (121) and the second coupling structure (125) allow for a greater coupling efficiency without physically moving transmission line (101) towards either forward coupler (107) or reverse coupler (113).
