Abstract:
A method to detect a packet includes: receiving an input sequence including preambles; detecting a transition from a noise period to a signal period in the input sequence; dynamically adjusting a gain of the input sequence in response to the signal period being initiated; and distinguishing an intended packet from other packets, among packets received in the preambles.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus to detect an intended packet by a sliding intermediate frequency (SIF) coherent ultra low power (ULP) wireless receiver. The method includes detecting a transition from a noise period to a signal period in a pair of input sequences received, dynamically adjusting a gain of the pair of input sequences in response to the signal period being initiated, distinguishing an intended packet from packets received in preambles included in the pair of input sequences, and compensating for a carrier frequency offset of the intended packet in the signal period.
Abstract:
Examples provide a method of performing automatic gain control (AGC) in a wireless receiver, the method including computing, by an energy detection (ED) circuit, a variance in an output signal of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and activating, by the ED circuit, an AGC circuit to adjust a gain of at least one component in a radio frequency integrated chip (RFIC) in response to the variance exceeding a threshold. Examples also provide for a wireless receiver that implements such a method.
Abstract:
A method to compensate a carrier frequency offset (CFO) in a receiver is disclosed. The method includes receiving discrete time samples, obtaining a sample vector from the received discrete time samples, obtaining tentative CFO estimates based on the sample vector, selecting a CFO having a greatest compensation coefficient from the tentative CFO estimates, and compensating the CFO in the received discrete time samples.

Abstract:
A method for compensating for a sampling clock-offset includes calculating a positive threshold and a negative threshold of pulse-shaped data symbols to be received, calculating a positive sum ratio and a negative sum ratio from received samples, and compensating for a sampling clock-offset in response to the positive sum ratio being less than or equal to the positive threshold and the negative sum ratio being less than or equal to the negative threshold.
