  • Antenna system designed to enhance power efficiency
    Patent number: 7176836
    Abstract: An antenna system designed to enhance power efficiency of a patch antenna for wireless transmission is provided. The system includes a patch antenna, a reflective plate, a transmission line, and a printed circuit board assembly. The reflective plate is arranged at the position of ¼? away from the patch antenna, to reflect the electro-magnetic waves, radiated behind the patch antenna. Because the antenna and the reflective plate are away from ¼?, the reflective signals returned to the patch antenna constructively interfere with the signal radiated from the antenna. Therefore, the provided system may strengthen the gain of the antenna. Further, the electromagnetic interference is decreased at the position close to the printed circuit board assembly behind the reflective plate.

  • Synchronization error detection circuit
    Patent number: 7174502
    Abstract: Synchronization errors in a received pulse train are detected by detecting rising or falling transitions in the pulse train, generating numbers in a repeating cycle having a length corresponding to the pulse rate, selecting the number generated when each transition is detected, and performing a predetermined operation on the selected numbers. The predetermined operation may include, for example, comparing the average values of the selected numbers in successive groups of transitions. Alternatively, the predetermined operation may include taking a difference between consecutively selected numbers to measure pulse widths in the pulse train. Synchronization error detection can be used to supplement data error detection and correction methods such as forward error correction and cyclic redundancy checks.
