    摘要: A wireless receiver is provided that includes a component and a power control logic 80. The component is operable to receive a wireless signal and process the wireless signal in at least one of a first mode and a second mode. The first mode uses less power than the second mode. The power control logic 80 is operable based on a characteristic of the wireless signal to promote processing the wireless signal by the component in the at least one of the first and second modes. A method for a wireless receiver to process the wireless signal to reduce power consumption is also provided. The method includes determining a characteristic of the wireless signal, and selecting one of a first and second modes in which to process the signal based on the characteristic of the wireless signal.

    摘要: A direct conversion transmitter comprising two local oscillators, an in-phase and quadrature modulating signal and in-phase and quadrature modulators, adds a leakage detector and corrective algorithm with one or more digital to analog converters to generate a corrective signal. The corrective signal corrects for, minimizes, and suppresses local oscillator carrier leakage into the transmitted signal. In accordance with the invention, direct up transmitter carrier leakage is automatically measured at regular intervals during the transmit cycle. A DC correction, or a correction waveform as a function of time, is input to both the “in-phase” and “quadrature” modulators at the baseband input. The two correction signals are tuned according to a minimization algorithm to achieve the lowest possible carrier component in the spectral output of the transmitter at its ambient operating conditions and present power output level. As the ambient conditions, such as temperature, and transmitter power level changes, the two correcting input DC currents, or correction waveforms, are further tuned towards the optimal values for that operating condition. Optimization is accomplished by an adaptive feedback technique employed to achieve maximum carrier suppression.

    摘要: A system and method for channelization and data multiplexing in ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communication system is described. The spectrum allocated for UWB in a multi-band OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplex) system is subdivided into various bands. A set of time frequency codes (TFC's) is defined, wherein each code specifies one of a plurality of unique band versus time sequences for a particular band group, for sequential data symbols of a given piconet. The separation of data words from multiple devices or multiple simultaneously operating piconets (SOP's) is provided by a combination of FDMA and TFC's. The combination of FDMA and TFC's provides a simplified interface between the MAC and PHY.

    摘要: A system includes a filter and a tuner formed on an integrated circuit. The filter receives an input signal comprising a first number of channels and communicates an intermediate output signal comprising a second number of channels less than the first number of channels. The tuner is coupled to the filter and receives the intermediate output signal and communicates an output signal comprising a third number of channels less than the second number of channels.
