    摘要: A method for activating a vehicle function, by an activation device including a transceiver to communicate with “hands-free” access equipment. The transceiver is equipped with a gyroscope and a magnetometer and two receiving antennas that have a coefficient of electromagnetic coupling between them that is below a threshold. The method includes the following steps for at least two consecutive footsteps: transmission of a signal comprising data of the gyroscope and the magnetometer of the “hands-free” equipment to the vehicle; comparison of the data with representative values of the gyroscope and the magnetometer of the transceiver; determination of a first direction of the user; determination of a second direction of the user based on an estimation of a first angle of arrival of the signal towards the transceiver; comparison of the first direction and the second direction; activation of the vehicle function on the basis of the result of the comparison.

    摘要: An echo-cancelling acoustic delay circuit, which can be provided in a wireless device operable to detect a nearby object, is disclosed. Given the close proximity of the object, an echo of the emitted pulse(s) may be reflected instantaneously toward the antenna to potentially overlap with the emitted pulse(s), thus causing difficulty in detecting the reflected pulse(s). In this regard, the echo-cancelling acoustic delay circuit is provided in the wireless device to add a temporal delay in the emitted pulse(s) and the reflected pulse(s) to prevent the reflected pulse(s) from overlapping with the emitted pulse(s). In addition, the echo-cancelling acoustic delay circuit is further configured to cancel a reflection echo(s) in the emitted pulse(s) and the reflected pulse(s), thus allowing the wireless device to accurately receive the reflected pulse(s) to thereby detect the nearby object.

    摘要: A device and a method for determining the arrival time of a UWB signal including at least one pulse modulated at a carrier frequency. The receiver includes a frequency translation stage for translating the UWB signal to a first intermediate frequency and a second intermediate frequency. In an integration stage, the signals translated to the first intermediate frequency and to the second intermediate frequency are integrated on a time window to give a first integration result and a second integration result respectively. The phase deviation is determined between the first and second integration results and from this phase deviation, the arrival time of the UWB signal is deduced.
