| 20090098848 | MODULATED IF RECEIVER AND METHOD - A modulated intermediate frequency receiver is shown having a low noise amplifier for receiving a radio frequency signal and a modulation source for generating a modulation signal. A local oscillator generates a modulated local oscillator signal in response to the modulation signal. A first mixer mixes the output of the low noise amplifier with the output of the local oscillator. The output of the mixer is DC filtered and receive bandwidth filtered before input to a demodulator that generates a demodulated received signal. Further embodiments are shown for a complex receiver and having phase or frequency modulation compensation. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090258622 | CIRCUIT AND METHOD FOR ANTENNA SELECTION IN AN ANTENNA DIVERSITY RECEIVER - An asynchronous receiver system has multiple antennae and an asynchronous receiver circuit with a signal input. The asynchronous receiver circuit receives a wireless signal at the signal input and generates a first quality signal responsive to the received wireless signal. A switch selects one of the antennae for coupling to the input of the asynchronous receiver circuit responsive to a control signal. A controller receives the first quality signal and generates the switching control signal. The controller sequentially selects each one of the antennae, measures the first quality signal and starts a timer with a time value for the selected antenna. The controller selects a next one of the antennae if the measured first quality signal value is below a threshold value and the timer expires and receives a remainder of a data packet based on the measured first signal quality values for the plurality of antennae. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100246649 | Circuit device including peak and average detectors - In a particular embodiment, a circuit device includes a peak detector to receive a signal and to generate peak output data related to the received signal and an average detector to generate average output data related to the received signal. The circuit device further includes a logic circuit to generate a data output related to the received signal based on the generated peak output data and the generated average output data. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110150155 | IN-BAND INTERFERENCE REJECTION OF SIGNALS IN ALTERNATE AND ADJACENT CHANNELS - A method includes filtering a received signal to generate a band-pass filtered signal using a band-pass filter having a pass-band including frequencies located within a central lobe of a power spectrum associated with a target channel of a plurality of channels supported by a communications system. The pass-band is approximately centered at a frequency of a null of a power spectrum associated with at least one other channel of the plurality of channels supported by the communications system. The method includes processing the received signal based on the band-pass filtered signal. The at least one other channel may include at least one of an alternate channel and an adjacent channel of the plurality of channels. | 06-23-2011 |
