  • Publication number: 20220191245
    Abstract: A method for detecting a modification, due to an interferer, of a wireless channel between a transmitting device and a receiving device. First and second samples of channel frequency response (CFR) of the wireless channel are measured within a time interval less than or equal to a pre-established static time interval throughout which the wireless channel is expected to exhibit a static characteristic in an environment without any interferer. An interferer is detected to have modified the wireless channel when a similarity condition reflecting a degree of similarity between the first and second CFR samples is not satisfied.

  • Patent number: 9203454
    Abstract: Apparatus to reduce noise in a stereo FM broadcast received via an antenna, the apparatus comprising: a frequency translator configured to translate the received stereo FM broadcast to an intermediate carrier frequency, a demodulation unit configured to demodulate the translated FM signal so as to form left-plus-right and left-minus-right AM signals, a filter configured to form a filtered signal by filtering one of the AM signals, so as to suppress a sub-band of that signal containing unwanted tones, a summing unit for summing the filtered signal and the other of the left-plus-right and left-minus-right signals to produce a stereo audio signal.
