  • Patent number: 8112051
    Abstract: Method and system for false lock free autonomous scan in a receiver is disclosed. The method includes identifying a presence of a desired signal to avoid false frequency lock in a Frequency Modulation receiver. The method includes receiving a signal. The method further includes identifying the desired signal, if a first energy is above a first threshold. The method also includes identifying the desired signal, if an Intermediate Frequency count is below a second threshold. The method includes identifying the desired signal, if a second energy of the signal is above a third threshold. The method includes identifying the desired signal, if an absolute difference between a first Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value and a second RSSI value of the signal is below a fourth threshold. The method includes determining a third energy. The method includes identifying the desired signal, if the third energy is below a fifth threshold.

  • Publication number: 20100232548
    Abstract: Demodulation and decoding for frequency modulation (FM) receivers with radio data system (RDS) or radio broadcast data system (RBDS). An example of a method for processing a signal in a receiver includes quantizing a demodulated signal to generate bits in response to receipt of the demodulated signal. The method also includes grouping the bits into one or more blocks. The method further includes computing a syndrome for a block from the one or more blocks. Moreover, the method includes identifying error, corresponding to the syndrome, in the block based on type of demodulation. The type of demodulation includes a coherent demodulation and a differential demodulation. Furthermore, the method includes correcting the error in the block.
