    摘要: An apparatus for determining information on a position of a transmitter. In one example, the apparatus includes an antenna apparatus, a control apparatus and a data processing apparatus. The antenna apparatus includes several different directional characteristics, wherein the directional characteristics are each related to an amount of spatially different receive sensitivities of the antenna apparatus. The control apparatus influences the antenna apparatus such that at least one of the directional characteristics of the antenna apparatus is activated. With the activated directional characteristic, the antenna apparatus receives a signal originating from the transmitter. The data processing apparatus processes the received signal and the amount of spatially different receive sensitivities allocated to the related activated directional characteristic to an amount of weighted receive values and determines the information on the position of the transmitter therefrom. Further, the invention relates to a respective method.

    摘要: A receiver stage for receiving a receive signal comprises M receiving paths, each receiving path comprises a signal processor and K comparators. The signal processors of the M receiving paths are configured to generate, for each of the M receiving paths, an amplified version of the receive signal, such that an amplification gain of the respective receiving path increases from a first of the M receiving paths to a last of the M receiving paths. For each of the M receiving paths the K comparators of the respective receiving paths are configured to compare the amplified receive signal of the respective receiving path with a respective threshold value. For each of the M receiving paths the threshold value increases from a first of the K comparators to the last of the K comparators.

    摘要: A receiver for receiving an RF signal transmitting a bit sequence representing a symbol is provided. The receiver includes an oscillator, a counter, at least one state machine and at least one correlator. The oscillator is configured to oscillate dependent on the received RF signal, wherein the oscillator signal is controlled to provide an oscillation signal based on the oscillation during a plurality of subsequent active periods. The counter is configured to provide a counter value describing threshold crossings of the oscillator signal for each of the active periods. The at least one state machine is connected to the counter and configured to output state values, each state value dependent on two subsequent counter values. The at least one correlator is configured to correlate the output state values with a predefined bit sequence and to output a value representing the symbol dependent on the correlation.
