摘要:
A subscriber device (2) includes a long code generator (12) and a modifier (30) for generating a spread bit stream with a predetermined error pattern that is transmitted by a transmitter (16) at the subscriber device (2) to a base station (3). The base station (3) identifies the current subscriber device properties by identifying the error pattern and subsequently compares the current subscriber device properties with a knowledge base of subscriber device software properties associated with the error pattern in the spread bit stream. The knowledge base is stored in a memory source (4).

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a matching network for a communication device having first and second antennas, where the matching network includes a first variable component connectable and a detector. The first variable component can be connectable along a first path between the first antenna and a front end module of the communication device, where the first antenna is configured for transmit and receive operation. The detector can be connectable along a second path between the second antenna and the front end module of the communication device, where the detector obtains an RF voltage associated with the second path, where the second antenna is configured for a diversity receive operation, and where the first variable component is adjusted based on the detected RF voltage to tune the matching network. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

An electronic circuit (200) for a portable electronic device includes an energy source interface (202), a load (204) coupled to the energy source interface (202), an energy storage circuit (206) having a maximum operating voltage, and a switch circuit (208). The switch circuit (208) is coupled to the energy source interface (202) in series with the energy storage circuit (206). The switch circuit (208) operates to switchably decouple the energy storage circuit (206) in response to a voltage at the load (204) that exceeds the maximum operating voltage.

摘要:
A method and apparatus is provided for authenticating a component (450) for use in a device (100). The device (100) has a predetermined challenge and a predetermined response associated with the predetermined challenge stored in a memory (122). The method detects whether the component (450) has been coupled to the device (100). If the component (450) has been detected (206), the predetermined challenge is provided to the component (208). The device (450) then determines whether a component response has been received from the component within a predetermined response time (210). If a component response is received within the predetermined response time (210), it is compared to the predetermined response (212). The component is disabled (214) if either the component response is not received within the predetermined response time (210) or the component response is received within the predetermined response time (210) but the component response is not equivalent to the predetermined response (212). The component is enabled (216) if the component response is received within the predetermined response time (210) and the component response is equivalent to the predetermined response (212).
