    Abstract: Undesired variations in a signal are removed by initializing two boundaries comprising an upper boundary and a lower boundary to track the signal level. At least one of the upper boundary and the lower boundary is adjusted encapsulate/track the received signal between the two boundaries when the signal level is outside of the two boundaries. A value computed with reference to at least one of the boundaries is provided as a filter output. As a result, the output comprises desired variations that cross the boundaries and the undesired variations that are within the boundaries are eliminated. In one embodiment, an altimeter sensor signal is filtered such that the undesired variations due to noise and instability of the altimeter are removed and the desired variations representing the change in the altitude are detected and provided without any delay to the navigation subsystem.

    Abstract: A system includes a first digital-to-time converter (DTC) adapted to receive a first DTC code and a first clock signal. The first DTC provides an output clock signal. The system includes a calibration DTC adapted to receive a calibration DTC code and a second clock signal. The calibration DTC provides a calibration output signal. The system includes a latch comparator which provides outputs indicative of which of the output clock signal and the calibration output signal is received first. The system includes an average computation module which provides an average value of the outputs of the latch comparator. The system includes a digital controller adapted to receive the average value. The digital controller provides the DTC code and the calibration DTC code.

    Abstract: A digital-to-time converter (DTC) and methods of calibrating the same reduces or mitigates nonlinearity and thus improves DTC performance. A slope of a voltage signal of the DTC is calibrated using a capacitor and a comparator. Capacitance of the capacitor and/or maximum current of a current source is adjusted to configure the comparator to output a signal during a second phase when a reference voltage signal is at or above a first level and below a second level. Calibrating gain of the DTC includes adjusting a time difference between an output signal of the DTC set at a first digital code value and the output signal of the DTC set at a second digital code value to be one period of a clock signal input to the DTC. Calibrating integral nonlinearity of the DTC includes measuring a time period for each of multiple digital code values of the DTC.

    Abstract: A phase lock loop (PLL) includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a frequency detector to generate a FAST signal responsive to a frequency of a reference signal being greater than the frequency of a feedback signal derived from the VCO and to generate a SLOW signal responsive to the frequency of the reference signal being smaller than the frequency of the feedback signal. The PLL also includes a digital charge pump, a loop filter, and a state machine circuit. Responsive to receipt of multiple consecutive FAST signals when the digital charge pump is providing a charging current to the loop filter, the state machine circuit reconfigures the digital charge pump to increase the charging current to the loop filter. Responsive to receipt of multiple consecutive SLOW signals when the loop filter is discharging, the state machine circuit reconfigures the digital charge pump to cause the loop filter's discharge current to increase. Upon detection of a terminal condition, the state machine circuit may disable the digital charge pump and enable operation of an analog charge pump.

    Abstract: A wireless device for indoor positioning has a satellite positioning system, a transceiver, a motion measurement system, and a position estimation system. The satellite positioning system is configured to determine a location of the device based on received satellite positioning signals. The wireless local area network transceiver is configured to measure while in the areas of non-reception, signals transmitted by wireless local area network (WLAN) access points (APs). The motion measurement system is configured to measure movement of the wireless device. The position estimation system is configured to determine a reference location, and record measurements of movement. The reference location and the recorded measurements are to be provided to a positioning database that generates a positioning grid.
