    摘要: A system for demodulating and decoding received messages transmitted along a vehicle power line includes a reference signal generator, a timer, and a demodulation and decoding circuit. The circuit determines whether a message is present on the power line by identifying a symbol indicative of a message preamble, subsequently setting the timer to a time corresponding to a predetermined length of the message preamble, detecting, during the time, a plurality of symbols and determining whether the symbols indicate the presence of a message preamble. The circuit then extracts data from the message by activating the reference signal generator, adding the reference signal to the message to produce an equivalent signal, detecting a symbol in the equivalent signal indicative of the message data body, subsequently setting the timer to a time corresponding to a predetermined length of the message data body and detecting, during the time, a second plurality of symbols.

    摘要: Techniques and apparatuses are described that facilitate ambient computing using a radar system. Compared to other smart devices that rely on a physical user interface, a smart device with a radar system can support ambient computing by providing an eye-free interaction and less cognitively demanding gesture-based user interface. The radar system can be designed to address a variety of challenges associated with ambient computing, including power consumption, environmental variations, background noise, size, and user privacy. The radar system uses an ambient-computing machine-learned module to quickly recognize gestures performed by a user up to at least two meters away. The ambient-computing machine-learned module is trained to filter background noise and have a sufficiently low false positive rate to enhance the user experience.

    摘要: Methods, systems and devices for wireless communication are described. One example method includes mapping information bits to transmission resources in a two-dimensional delay-Doppler grid In this example, the two-dimensional delay-Doppler grid includes N Doppler elements along a Doppler dimension and M delay elements along a delay dimension, and N and M are positive integers. The example method continues with converting a result of the mapping to a signal waveform, and generating an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) waveform by spreading the signal waveform using a spreading scheme. In some examples, the signal waveform includes an ultra-wide band (UWB) waveform.

    摘要: Vector modulation is illustrated. A method includes receiving an input signal. The input signal is split into a first 0° output and a 90° output. The first 0° output is split into a second 0° output and a first 180° output using a continuous transmission line. The 90° output is split into a third 0° output and a second 180° output using a continuous transmission line. The second 0° output, the first 180° output, the third 0° output, and the second 180° output are modulated. The modulated second 0° output, the first 180° output, the third 0° output, and the second 180° output are recombined to produce an output signal, where all four of the modulated second 0° output, the first 180° output, the third 0° output, and the second 180° output are used to create the output signal.
