Abstract: A method and system for measuring a physical parameter, such as speed and/or distance travelled by a bicycle, includes a permanent magnet disposed on a front fork and a measuring circuit with a magnetic sensor disposed on a rim of the wheel at the same distance from the wheel axis of rotation as the magnet. The sensor passes in front of the magnet to generate an induced voltage pulse at each passage. The induced voltage is rectified and stored on a capacitor. Energy recovery during the sensor passing in front of the magnet allows powering of the measuring circuit. The parameter is calculated in the calculation unit clocked by an oscillator based on the received induced voltage pulses by knowing the bicycle wheel diameter. Measurements performed from the measuring circuit are transmitted to a portable device carried by the user or mounted on the bicycle to be displayed.

The first frequency synthesizer is connected between the output of the modulator-demodulator and radio frequency input and output terminal, and configured to supply a frequency-modulated signal to the radio frequency input and output terminal. The electronic chip further includes a second frequency synthesizer connected between the output of the modulator-demodulator and an auxiliary output terminal, and configured to synthesize a modulated low-frequency signal supplied by the auxiliary output terminal, whereby the center value of the low frequency is equal to the value of the intermediate frequency.

Abstract: For the process for determining a distance, there is provided a succession of coded signals at high frequency transmitted between a base station and a wearable object. A preparation of a response signal is conducted in the wearable object on reception of the first synchronisation signal after activation of the wearable object. A transmission of successive coded signals at high frequency from the wearable object is conducted for the station, of which the last response signal is scrambled by a modulation of data on the last signal received at a high transfer rate from the station. An analysis is conducted in a processing unit of the base station after reception of the signals from the wearable object to accurately determine the distance separating the base station from the recognised wearable object.

Abstract: The method for calibrating the frequency synthesizer using two-point FSK modulation consists, in a first phase, in supplying an excitation signal generated by a calibration unit to a sigma-delta modulator by deactivating a digital-to-analog converter and transmitting the output signal from a loop filter of the synthesizer to the calibration unit, which digitally converts the incoming signal and offsets the phase shift between the excitation signal and the loop filter output signal in the calibration unit. In a second phase, the excitation signal is supplied to the sigma-delta modulator and to the activated digital-to-analog converter, and the digital-to-analog converter gain is calibrated by checking, in the calibration unit, the polarity of the loop filter output signal with respect to the excitation signal, and using a dichotomy algorithm.
