摘要： Methods and systems for auto detecting and auto switching antennas in a multi-antenna FM transmit/receive system are disclosed and may include electronically detecting when an external antenna may be coupled to an external port of the wireless device and utilizing the external antenna for transmitting and/or receiving FM signals. The decoupling of an external antenna from an external port may be detected, which may cause the FM radio transmitter/receiver to be configured to transmit and/or receive FM signals utilizing antennas internal to the wireless device. One or more test signals, which may include AC signals, may be generated within the chip for detecting whether an external antenna may be coupled to an external port. A reflected signal from an external port may be measured and compared to a prestored value corresponding to a reflection due to an open circuit at the one or more external ports of the wireless device.

摘要： Aspects of a method and system for calibration in an FM transceiver system with off-chip control may include, in an integrated FM system comprising an FM radio transmitter, an FM radio receiver and a common local oscillator, receiving one or more control signals that control calibration of the integrated FM system. Responsive to the one or more control signals, one or more RF carrier signals and corresponding phase-shifted versions of the generated one or more RF carrier signals may be generated via the common local oscillator. The FM radio transmitter and/or the FM radio receiver may be calibrated based on an RF calibration signal generated from the one or more RF carrier signal and/or the corresponding phase-shifted versions of the generated one or more RF carrier signals. An in-phase baseband signal component associated with the generated RF calibration signal may be zeroed.

摘要： Methods and systems for measuring and optimizing integrated antenna performance are disclosed and may include transmitting FM signals over a range of frequencies utilizing one or more antenna configurations. The FM transmitter may be calibrated based on a signal received by one of a plurality of wireless protocol receivers in the wireless device. The wireless device may include one or more other corresponding transmitters that utilize other wireless protocols. The transmitted FM signals may be received by a test set, which may then transmit a signal utilizing a different wireless protocol for adjusting the FM transmitter. The frequency of the transmitted FM signals may be varied utilizing a tunable oscillator, and the antenna configurations may be adjusted accordingly by impedance matching them to the FM transmitter. The FM transmitter and FM receiver and the tunable oscillator may be integrated within a single chip.

In one embodiment, the method is performed by the control system and includes sending a command to the component to adjust a first parameter associated with an operation of the component. Also, the method includes detecting a sensor signal from the sensor reflecting a second parameter associated with a characteristic of the sub-component and determining whether the second parameter is acceptable based on the command. The control system may diagnose at least one of the elements of the work machine when the second parameter of the sub-component is not acceptable.

摘要： Aspects of a method and system for enhanced sound quality for stereo audio are provided. In this regard, levels of audio signals received via an FM radio channel may be controlled based on a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the RF channel. The SNR of the FM radio channel may be determined based on signal strength in an unused portion of the FM radio channel. The recovered audio signals may comprise an FM multiplex signal, and an unused portion of the FM radio channel may be a guard band adjacent to a carrier of the FM multiplex signal. A level of one or both of a mono component and a stereo component of an FM multiplex signal may be controlled based on the SNR.
