    摘要: A system and method for providing discrete analog voltage levels. The system and method employs a pseudo-random sequence generator for generating random-sequences of binary values, namely zeros and ones, based on a digital input. The pseudo-random sequence serves to modulate a current source whose output is integrated to develop a constant discrete analog voltage output. This method reduces spurious frequency interference on the circuit. The system and method can be employed in a node of a wireless ad-hoc communications network.

    摘要: The present invention provides a bandwidth efficient system and method of measuring the range between nodes (102, 106, 107) in a wireless communications network (100) with one-way data transfer, where each node (102, 106, 107) periodically transmits a message that contains information regarding neighboring nodes (102, 106, 107) from which any prior messages have been received by the transmitting node (102, 106, 107). A node (102, 106, 107) receives the messages transmitted from neighboring nodes (102, 106, 107) in the network (100), and records the times of arrival of the received messages. The node (102, 106, 107) receiving those messages can thus determine the respective distances between itself and the neighboring nodes (102, 106, 107) based on the respective time of arrivals of the received messages and the respective information included in the respective messages.

    摘要: A method and system for determining a minimum time of flight between communication devices is useful for correcting ranging errors induced by multi-path signals. The method includes transmitting a range request message, including a first periodically repeating synchronization sequence, from the first communication device via a first RF channel to the second communication device (step 91). A range response message, including a second periodically repeating synchronization sequence and a minimum path turn around time, is then received at the first communication device via a second RF channel from the second communication device (step 92). A change in the second RF channel is induced after receipt of each synchronization sequence. A minimum path round trip time is then determined from multiple time of arrival determinations (step 93). Finally, the minimum time of flight is calculated from the minimum path round trip time and the minimum path turn around time (step 94).
