    摘要: Embodiments of a repeater environment can be operative to deploy a feedback cancellation loop that is adaptively coupled with an antenna array such that a selected metric can be applied to the antenna array and feedback cancellation loop combination to improve signal integrity and amplification. Illustratively, the feedback cancellation loop of the exemplary repeater can be adapted by a metric that operatively adapts weights provided by performing a selected linear algebra technique to the feedback cancellation loop such that the metric can be indicative of the level of transmitter signal present at a receive and can be derived based on performing a correlation between the transmitted signal and the receiver signal. Further, operatively, the exemplary repeater can maintain a delay sufficient to preferably ensure that transmitted signal is de-correlated with the desired receiver signal, and time aligned and correlated with the feedback leakage signal.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided to generate digital coefficients for a filter. The generation of coefficients relies on a Fourier transformation of an impulse response in time domain that is zero padded, e.g., zeros are appended to an array corresponding to a sampled input signal of length M. A unit prototypical filter is generated through a frequency domain response of length NFFT=NS+M−1, wherein NS is a sampling length of the incoming signal. The unit prototypical filter is then circularly shifted in order to generate a band pass filter centered at a desired frequency. Circularly shifted filters are point-to-point added to generate a set of composite digital coefficients to filter the incoming signal. The reference frequencies for the composite filter are extracted from a message received from one or more base stations associated with one or more service providers. The composite filter typically operates on a frequency repeater.

    摘要: A method and system generates a modulated chirp signal in accordance with the present invention. A phase-locked loop output signal is generated, together with a sampled feedback signal from a voltage controlled oscillator. The sampled feedback signal is received within a quadrature I/Q phase modulator. I/Q quadrature signals are generated from an I/Q generator circuit to the quadrature I/Q phase modulator to produce a desired modulation of a sampled feedback signal as a string of +/−90 degree phase shifts to create a desired offset at the voltage controlled oscillator. The I/Q quadrature signals are chirp modulated and the resultant phase-locked loop output signal is chirp modulated by the chirp signal that comprises a sequence of chirps having a reference chirp followed by a plurality of data chirps.

    摘要: An access point operates in an 802.11 wireless communication network communicating with a client station, and includes a smart antenna for generating directional antenna beams and an omni-directional antenna beam. An antenna steering algorithm scans the directional antenna beams and the omni-directional antenna beam for receiving signals from the client station. The signals received via each scanned antenna beam are measured, and one of the antenna beams is selected based upon the measuring for communicating with the client station. The selected antenna beam is preferably a directional antenna beam. Once the directional antenna beam has been selected, there are several usage rules for exchanging data with the client station. The usage rules are directed to an active state of the access point, which includes a data transmission mode and a data reception mode.

    摘要: A system and method for determining the range between a receiver of a radio frequency signal and a transmitter of the signal includes transmission of a ranging signal having a grossly timed trigger followed by a chirp waveform. In response to receipt of the leading edge of the grossly timed trigger, the receiver of the ranging signal generates a first reference chirp at about the same time as the expected time of receipt of the chirp waveform, and thereafter compares the two chirps to provide a time correction signal (it being known that when two identical chirp signals, one time delayed from the other, are mixed, the resulting signal will have a frequency proportional to the amount of delay between the two chirp signals.) The time correction signal is used to correct the timing of an outgoing corrected chirp that is to be used to determine range between the transmitter and receiver based on a time of arrival. The corrected signal is received at the transmitter and compared to a further reference chirp that is generated at a known time. The comparison of the received signal to the reference provides a signal related to a time difference between receipt of the corrected signal and the further reference chirp in order to determine a range between the transmitter and the receiver.
