The characteristics of the basic transmission units of the multiple blocks based on range are different, e.g., tone size and symbol width are different. A wireless communications device implements the peer to peer timing structure and uses resources from different range based blocks at different times. Data traffic transmission units may be the same regardless of the range.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2009Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Rajiv Laroia, Junyi Li, Saurabh Tavildar, Xinzhou Wu, Aleksandar Jovicic

Patent number: 7177609Abstract: A chopper-direct-conversion (CDC) radio receiver includes a phase-alternating mixer receiving an antenna input signal and at least one local oscillator signal and generating a double sideband signal in a single mixing step. The phase-alternating mixer may be implemented by two parallel mixers each mixing the input signal with one of two local oscillator signals and an adder receiving and summing outputs from the two parallel mixers, by a track-and-hold circuit sampling the input signal based upon the local oscillator signal, or by a window averaging circuit averaging the input signal across a period of the local oscillator signal. The CDC architecture is suitable for fabrication on a single chip and offers solutions to virtually all problems found in conventional direct-conversion receivers.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2003Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: National Semiconductor CorporationInventor: Hee Wong

Patent number: 6724441Abstract: A tuning system and a tuning method in a broadcast signal receiver, in which a radio frequency (RF) spectrum signal adopting an inverting method is filtered by an asymmetric bandpass filter of a tuner to improve the receiving sensitivity. This tuning system includes a first mixer, a filter and a second mixer. The first mixer mixes a predetermined oscillation frequency with an inverted 8 VSB digital broadcast signal in the idle space between upper and lower normal NTSC broadcast signals of high frequency band received from a transmitter, transfers the upper NTSC broadcast signal to the lower side and the lower NTSC broadcast signal to the upper side, inverts the transferred NTSC broadcast signals, and changes the state of the 8 VSB digital broadcast signal into a normal state. The filter attenuates the inverted upper and lower NTSC broadcast signals output from the first mixer to a predetermined band and amplifies the normal 8 VSB digital broadcast signal into a predetermined band.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2001Date of Patent: April 20, 2004Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Young-ho Choi

Patent number: 5142692Abstract: The present invention provides a technique and system for modifying the modulation of the 66.5 kHz subcarrier in such a way that its spectrum will not overlap that required by the 57 kHz subcarrier, while at the same time maintaining compatibility with existing subcarrier receivers. A special signal is created whose spectral shape is asymmetrical with respect to the 66.5 kHz subcarrier. In the frequency domain, the lowest frequency part of the symmetrical spectrum is cut off, flipped about the carrier frequency and then added to the highest frequency part of the spectrum. This technique and system takes advantage of the fact that the receiver, with which the system is designed to operate, uses a sampling process which products frequency aliasing.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1991Date of Patent: August 25, 1992Assignees: Seiko Corp., Seiko Epson Corp.Inventor: Jeffrey R.

Patent number: 4792985Abstract: In those transparent tone-in-band systems which employ a single oscillator in the transmitter to generate a frequency notch between upper and lower portions of a band which is to be transmitted, there is not complete freedom to choose the width of the notch. In the present invention which also uses a single transmitter oscillator, one portion of the band transmitted is selected using a filter. A mixer is used to change the frequency of the input band in a way which does not allow the lower sideband to "fold" back at zero frequency and interfere with the lower transmitted portion. A further filter selects the other portion for transmission from the output of the mixer.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1985Date of Patent: December 20, 1988Assignee: National Research Development CorporationInventors: Joseph P.
