摘要:
In an example embodiment, a mobile wireless device, such as a mobile telephone, is employed to configure a second wireless device such as an access point. The mobile wireless device determines its location and a regulatory domain corresponding to the location. The mobile wireless device configures the second wireless device to operate in the regulatory domain.

A combination of near omni-directional antennas and internal patch antennas, all built into an access point in accordance with FCC requirements. Typically a printed antenna array is used for the near omni-directional antenna, and the internal patch antenna is a TM10 mode stacked patch antenna. A mechanical detect switch changes antenna types automatically, depending on the rotation state of the antenna system. Alternately, a configuration utility enables a user to select the antenna type for the access point when it is installed in the field. This arrangement gives the UNII access point flexibility to be mounted in various orientations and match the characteristics of the antenna to the installation requirements.

A frequency shift keying modulating circuit produces a first frequency according to a surface acoustic wave transducer natural resonant frequency and a second frequency according to the surface acoustic wave in combination with a reactive element. The frequency selected is determined by the state of a PIN switching diode in parallel with the reactive element.

A circuit is provided which gauges the amount of significant high-frequency spectral energy in the very recent history of the program material and ignores the effects of short noise bursts and other transients associated with FM reception in the moving vehicle. The circuit provides an output voltage which can be used to adjust the attack characteristics of an audio processor.
摘要:
An audio processor for adaptively rejecting undesired noise and interference in an audio input which includes a variable Q, 10 kHz switched capacitor notch filter. The Q of the notch filter is varied by a control loop responsive to the 10 kHz content of the audio signal. The notch filter includes a summer section that is clocked at a predetermined frequency, and an integrator section which is clocked at a multiple of the predetermined frequency in order to prevent center frequency variation with changes in Q of the notch filter.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for detecting the start-of-packet in a wireless receiver operating in a packetized wireless network. One method embodiment includes calculating a plurality of start of packet (SOP) indicators, each for one or more of a plurality of receive chains in the receiver; determining one or more linear combinations of respective pluralities of the calculated SOP indicators to form one or more combined SOP indicators; comparing each of a plurality of SOP indicators or combined SOP indicators, including at least one of the combined SOP indicators to a respective threshold to form one or more respective SOP events; and, in the case there is more than one SOP event, determining a logic function of the SOP events to form a SOP decision event.
摘要:
A point of sale terminal is disclosed that provides all of the usual point of sale terminal functions, but that is entirely field portable. Data pertinent to each purchase can be input to the terminal via a keyboard assembly, a touch-screen display or a signature-capture screen assembly, or via an antenna and radio link from an associated bar code scanner. Data may be communicated at any time to a remote host computer, also via a separate antenna and radio link. The communication links with the host computer and the bar code scanner operate independently and simultaneously, using mutually compatible modulation schemes such as a spread spectrum scheme for the host computer link and a narrowband or spread spectrum scheme for the bar code scanner link. The terminal thereby functions as a portable repeater or node in a data communications network.
摘要:
A method for controlling cell size associated with an access point that has a receive sensitivity and an output power. The method includes changing a start of packet threshold and/or a clear channel assessment threshold to vary the cell size of the access point.
摘要:
A stacked patch antenna is disclosed which includes a first antenna element and a second antenna element for cooperating with the first antenna element. These antenna elements are preferably a passive parasitic element in combination with a driven element. A flexible substrate is provided having first and second opposing surfaces, each respectively in contact with the first and second antenna elements. The flexible substrate preferably has a desired dielectric property to provide a desired capacitance between the antenna elements. One or both of the antenna elements are formed on the respective opposing surface. The antenna element is preferably formed by printing.
摘要:
A transceiver has an RF oscillator stage shared by the receiving and transmitting modes. The RF oscillator has a feedback loop incorporating a SAW delay line. A switching arrangement selectively couples the antenna to the transmission circuit and optionally couples the antenna to the receiving circuit. The RF oscillator stage is isolated from switching perturbations by small capacitors at the input and at the output of the oscillator.
