    Abstract: A method for determining a peak value of a radio frequency (RF) signal begins by receiving an RF signal. The method continues by high pass filtering the RF signal to produce a first input. The method continues by rectifying the first input signal with respect to a rectifying input to produce a rectified signal. The method continues by low pass filtering the rectified signal to produce the peak value.

    Abstract: A method for calibrating a filter begins with the filter filtering a first signal having a first frequency to produce a first filtered signal, wherein the first frequency is in a known pass region of the filter. The processing continues by measuring signal strength of the first filtered signal to produce a first measured signal strength. The processing continues with the filter filtering a second signal having a second frequency to produce a second filtered signal, wherein the second frequency is at a desired corner frequency of the filter. The processing continues by measuring signal strength of the second filtered signal to produce a second measured signal strength. The processing continues by comparing the first measured signal strength with the second measured signal strength to determine whether the filter has attenuated the second signal by a desired attenuation value with respect to the first signal. The processing continues by adjusting filter response of the filter to produce an adjusted filter response when the filter has not attenuated the second signal by the desired attenuation value with respect to the first signal.

    Abstract: A digital demodulator that may be utilized in integrated radio receivers and/or integrated radios includes a mixing section, 1st and 2nd digital comb filters, phase locked loop module, and a data recovery module. The mixing section is operably coupled to produce a digital I signal and a digital Q signal from a digital intermediate frequency signal. The 1st comb filter filters the digital I signal while the 2nd comb filter filters the digital Q signal. The phase locked loop module produces a digital signal from the filtered I and filtered Q signals. The data recovery module interprets the digital signal to recapture a data stream.

    Abstract: Improved apparatus for a radio communication network having a multiplicity of mobile transceiver units selectively in communication with a plurality of base transceiver units which communicate with one or two host computers for storage and manipulation of data collected by bar code scanners or other collection means associated with the mobile transceiver units. The radio network is adaptive in that in order to compensate for the wide range of operating conditions a set of variable network parameters are exchanged between transceivers in the network. These parameters define optimized communication on the network under current network conditions. Examples of such parameters include: the length and frequency of the spreading code in direct-sequence spread spectrum communications; the hop frame length, coding, and interleaving in frequency-hopping spread spectrum communications; the method of source encoding used; and the data packet size in a network using data segmentation. The invention is preferably to be applicable as an upgrade of an existing data capture system wherein a large number of hand-held transceiver units operate over an extensive area to gather data in various places, requiring the use of multiple base stations. In a variety of such installations such as warehouse facilities, distribution centers, and retail establishments, it may be advantageous to utilize not only multiple bases capable of communication with a single host, but with multiple hosts as well.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus to ensure DLL locking at a minimum delay is provided. In one embodiment, a DLL circuit includes a phase detector, a counter, a programmable delay line, and a counter control circuit. Upon initialization of the DLL circuit, the counter control circuit is configured to cause the counter to count increment, regardless of the phase relationship between a reference clock signal and the output clock signal. The counter continues incrementing, thereby changing the phase relationship between the reference clock signal and the output clock signal by adjusting the delay of the programmable delay line. This eventually results in a phase lock between the reference clock signal and the output clock signal at a minimum delay. Once the DLL achieves a phase lock between the reference clock signal and the output clock signal, the counter increments or decrements its count in order to maintain or re-acquire a lock.

    Abstract: In a data communication system, a transmitter of an ADSL modem uses a PRBS generator to generate a plurality of ADSL signals. The transmitter computes the Peak to Average (e.g., root-mean-square) (“PAR”) ratio of each of the ADSL signals generated. The ADSL signal having the lowest PAR is determined, and the corresponding state of the PRBS generator is noted. The signal having the lowest PAR, or at least the corresponding state of the PRBS generator, is then used to generate a Q-mode signal.
