    摘要: A system and method for detecting the preamble of a wireless packet is disclosed. The system utilizes one or more received fragments as inputs to a correlator, forming correlator content inside the correlator memory. After every sample from the received fragment is provided to the correlator, the correlator then compares the correlator content to a known pattern pre-programmed as a set of correlation coefficients. The correlation coefficients may not align with the correlator content because the symbol boundaries are not known a-priori. By cyclic rotation of the correlation coefficients relative to the correlator content, or cyclic rotation of the correlator content relative to the known correlation coefficients, a match with one or more preamble symbols may be found. This technique may be used to reduce power during the preamble detection process. Alternatively, this technique can also be used for antenna diversity, multi PHY and multichannel applications.

    摘要: Modulation testing separately enables slices of an analog varactor array of an LC oscillator. For each enabled slice, a reference voltage supplying a resistor ladder is set to a plurality of different reference voltage values. Resistor ladder voltages generated for the different reference voltage values are supplied to the enabled slice and a control voltage coupled to the enabled slice is swept for each of the reference voltage values. Respective frequencies of an oscillator signal coupled to an output of the LC oscillator are measured for each enabled slice for each combination of the reference voltage values and the control voltage values. The linearity of LC oscillator gain is determined for each of the reference voltage values for each slice based on the respective frequencies and the control voltage values. Passing/failing the modulation testing is based on the linearity of the LC oscillator gain.

    摘要: A system that is capable of detecting a Man in the Middle attack is disclosed. The system includes a receive circuit for receiving incoming packets. The system also includes a digitized model of at least part of the receive circuit and optionally part of the transmit circuit. The system compares the output from the digitized model with the output from the read circuit to determine the likelihood of a Man in the Middle Attack. In certain embodiments, the digitized model is a finite impulse response filter with multiple taps. The system correctly identifies Man in the Middle attacks more than 90% of the time when the signal to noise ratio is greater than 20 dB.
