Abstract: An apparatus comprises a number of sub-systems and a control interface operably coupled to sub-systems for routeing data therebetween. A strobe generation function is operably coupled to the control interface and configured to generate a plurality of different strobe signals to differentiate between different intended receiving devices. Thus, different strobe signals may be multiplexed onto a single control interface link, based on a pulse width or voltage magnitude characteristics of the respective strobe signals. A strobe decoder function is operably coupled to the control interface and configured to decode a plurality of different strobe signals to differentiate between triggering sub-systems on receiving devices.

Abstract: A modulation system can switch between two modulation modes. In order to comply with limits on peak power in spectral bands outside the RF operating one the transmitter is required to ramp down to a condition of minimal power. To avoid fixed ramping and trailing bits, the transmitting signal is subjected to FIR filtering. The two FIR filters are primed with a sequence using a parallel input mode before serially entering the information data.

The feedback path comprises a coupler for feeding back a portion of a signal to be transmitted and a detector for detecting a power level of the fed back signal. A controller provides a ramp signal to the power amplifier that controls an amplitude characteristic of the signal to be transmitted. Averaging logic is operably coupled to the detector and arranged to average the detected power level over a first period. Comparison logic is operably coupled to the averaging logic and arranged to compare the average detected power level with a reference value. The controller is operably coupled to the comparison logic and arranged to scale a ramp signal applied to the power amplifier in response to the comparison.
