    Abstract: A technique of separating a sequence of modulation shift keying (MSK) symbols into a first portion and a second portion and separately comparing the first portion of the sequence of MSK symbols and the second portion of the sequence of MSK symbols against a first portion of a reference sequence of MSK symbols and a second portion of the reference sequence of MSK symbols allows a low complexity detection of a start field delimiter in a wireless communication packet.

    Abstract: Electronic devices and methods to provide wireless ranging are shown. A first electronic device includes a memory containing stored instructions that can perform a method for determining a distance between the first electronic device and a second electronic device. For each frequency in a selected set of frequencies, the method sets the transceiver to the respective frequency, sends a first tone having the frequency and a first phase to the second electronic device and receives a second tone having the first frequency and a second phase. For each selected frequency, the first electronic device determines the phase difference between the second tone and the controllable oscillator, receives a phase difference from the second electronic device, and calculates a phase delay for the frequency. The first electronic device calculates a phase delay difference for pairs of the frequencies; and determines the distance using these phase delay differences.

    Abstract: A method of relay-attack resistant communications in a wireless communications system that includes a master wireless device (Master) sending a synchronization signal to a slave wireless device (Slave). The synchronization signal includes timing information including a common time reference and a timeslot duration for interlocking Master communication timeslots for Master and Slave communication timeslots so that an alternating TX and RX role pattern is provided. The Master analyzes Slave packet data received from the Slave to identify overlaps of a transmission from the Master and the slave packet data, and in a case of detecting overlap, suspends communications from Master to Slave to prevent a relay-attack.

    Abstract: A circuit includes a first wireless radio frequency (RF) transceiver and a time-of-flight estimator included with or coupled to the first wireless RF transceiver. The time-of-flight estimator estimates a time-of-flight between the first wireless RF transceiver and a second wireless RF transceiver using: a first interval value that indicates an amount of time between when the second wireless RF transceiver received the message and when the second wireless RF transceiver transmitted the response; a first error value that indicates an offset between when the second wireless RF transceiver sampled the message and a target sampling point for the message; a second interval value that indicates an amount of time between when the TX chain sent the message and when the RX chain received the response; and a second error value that indicates an offset between when the RX chain sampled the response and a target sampling point for the response.

    Abstract: An example apparatus includes target signal generator circuitry to generate a target signal having a first center frequency and a bandwidth. The example apparatus additionally includes companion signal generator circuitry to generate a companion signal having a second center frequency that is less than (a) the first center frequency adjusted by a first threshold and greater than (b) the first center frequency adjusted by a second threshold, the first threshold being a first multiple of the bandwidth, the second threshold being a second multiple of the bandwidth, the first multiple different than the second multiple. In some examples, the example apparatus includes adder circuitry to combine the target signal and the companion signal to form a composite signal. Additionally, the example apparatus includes transmitter circuitry to transmit the composite signal to a target device.
