    摘要: There is described a method of determining an initial transmission phase offset in an NFC device configured to operate in NFC card mode only, wherein the NFC device comprises an NFC chip and a matching circuit. The method comprises: determining an initial RF matching resonance frequency of the NFC device utilizing an internal oscillator of the NFC chip; reading correction data from a non-volatile memory of the NFC chip, the correction data being indicative of a frequency offset of the internal oscillator relative to a nominal oscillator frequency; determining a corrected RF matching resonance frequency of the NFC device based on the initial RF matching resonance frequency and the correction data; and determining the initial transmission phase offset based on the corrected RF matching resonance frequency. Furthermore, a device and a method of manufacturing an NFC device are described.

    摘要: A method of calibrating a transmitter chain in a phased array system in which a lower guard band is assigned to a lower side of an operating carrier of a communication channel and an upper guard band is assigned an upper side of the operating carrier includes injecting a first calibration tone into the transmitter chain and detecting its arrival at the end of the transmitter chain, at which point a first detected calibration signal is generated. The first detected calibration signal and the injected first calibration tone are then compared to produce a first comparison signal. The transmitter chain's phase and/or gain is then adjusted based on this first comparison signal. The first calibration tone located within one of the lower and upper guard bands of the communication channel of the transmitter chain.

    摘要: Within several applications the ability to localize an individual within an environment is beneficial. However, existing indoor localization approaches depend upon at least one of two assumptions. First, the subject(s) localization is achieved by localizing a wireless device carried by the subject and second, wireless fingerprints are established for the localization via a site survey being performed before a system can actually localize the subject(s). However, in many application scenarios, neither of the above two assumptions are true, namely that the user is not carrying an active wireless device or that the site has been surveyed. Accordingly, embodiments of the invention provide for subject localization by a dynamic calibration of wireless signals between a receiver and a transmitter, where neither the receiver or transmitter are associated with an electronic device carried or worn by the subject.
