Abstract:
A method for compensating for a sampling clock-offset includes calculating a positive threshold and a negative threshold of pulse-shaped data symbols to be received, calculating a positive sum ratio and a negative sum ratio from received samples, and compensating for a sampling clock-offset in response to the positive sum ratio being less than or equal to the positive threshold and the negative sum ratio being less than or equal to the negative threshold.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a method and system for simultaneous transmission of data to coherent and non-coherent receivers. The method at the transmitter includes retrieving a base ternary sequence having a pre-defined length, obtaining one or more ternary sequences corresponding to data to be transmitted and transmitting the obtained one or more ternary sequences by the transmitter. The method steps at the receiver includes receiving one or more ternary sequences corresponding to the data transmitted, demodulating each of the received ternary sequences by correlating with all cyclic shifts of the base ternary sequence by the receiver if the receiver is a coherent receiver, demodulating each of the received ternary sequences by correlating with all cyclic shifts of the absolute of the base ternary sequence by the receiver if the receiver is a non-coherent receiver and detecting the transmitted data based on the cyclic shifts corresponding to maximum correlation values.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of estimating a Direct Current (DC) offset in an Ultra-Low Power (ULP) receiver. The method includes receiving a signal from an output of an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) in the ULP receiver. The signal includes a correlated variable DC component for at least one of an in-phase arm and a quadrature arm of the ULP receiver. The method also includes estimating a DC offset compensation parameter in a plurality of phases for a plurality of stages based on the received signal such that the estimating includes calculating the DC offset compensation parameter in a magnitude estimation phase for the plurality of stages and calculating the DC offset compensation parameter in a sign estimation phase for the plurality of stages.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided to generate a preamble signal. A peak of each pulse of the preamble signal is synchronized with a sensitivity region of a super regenerative receiver (SRR). The method and apparatus are configured to transmit, to the SRR, a data packet comprising the preamble signal, wherein the data packet is a baseband signal corresponding to the preamble signal.
Abstract:
A method of increasing a performance of a super-regenerative receiver (SRR), includes initializing a quench rate to be greater than or equal to 2 based on a parameter, and comparing a decision metric to a lower threshold value, the decision metric established from a first receiver operating characteristic (ROC). The method further includes estimating a phase offset, using an over-quench method, and aligning quench signals at the quench rate of 1, and comparing the decision metric to a higher threshold value to minimize a false alarm probability. The method further includes confirming packet detection and the phase offset, using the over-quench method.
Abstract:
A method for radio frequency (RF) pulse synchronization in a super regenerative receiver (SRR), includes receiving an input signal including an asymmetric preamble, and estimating a phase difference between the input signal and a quench signal based on the asymmetric preamble. The method further includes compensating for the phase difference.
