Abstract:
An apparatus includes a controller configured to be coupled to a system clock that generates a clock signal for a device that generates radiated electromagnetic interference (RE). The controller is also configured to determine a frequency span associated with the system clock, where the frequency span has a minimum frequency and a maximum frequency. The controller is further configured to determine a sequence of frequency steps, where each frequency step is associated with a distinct frequency within the frequency span. In addition, the controller is configured to control the system clock to change a frequency of the clock signal through the sequence of frequency steps in order to reduce the RE generated at or by the device. In some embodiments, the frequency steps are interleaved across the frequency span to avoid large frequency jumps. In some embodiments, the frequency step duration is optimally selected to reduce quasi peak values.
Abstract:
Devices and methods are disclosed for generating, filtering, and amplifying signals that are sent and received using SOCs. These improved methods and devices advantageously provide filtering of composite RF signals such that the RF signals can be transmitted with an improved SNR. Such filtered signals can then be transmitted at a higher power. Because filtering is performed at an intermediate frequency, the higher cost of low-noise RF-transmitters and/or RF filtering components can be avoided. Accordingly, less expensive (e.g., noisier) components, such as readily available wireless transceiver SOCs, can be used for generating RF signals, filtering the signals, and then transmitting the filtered signals at higher power. As a result of these devices and methods, inexpensive SOCs may be used at higher powers and over longer ranges than would be normally expected
