Abstract: The invention relates to a dual band frequency synthesizer for generating either a first output frequency fhigh or a second output frequency flow, where fhigh=2 flow, comprising an oscillator circuit for generating at its output a frequency fVCO=(fhigh+flow)/2, a divide by three (3) circuit, coupled to the output of the oscillator circuit, for generating at its output an offset frequency fDB3=fVCO/3, and a double quadrature mixer circuit, coupled to the output of the oscillator circuit and to the output of the divide by three circuit, for generating either the first output frequency fhigh=fVCO+fDB3 or the second output the frequency flow=fVCO?fDB3.

Abstract: The invention relates to a spread spectrum receiver for receiving and decoding an input signal r(k) consisting of a sequence of chips and a method for carrier frequency offset compensation in such a spread spectrum receiver.

Abstract: The quadrature divider comprises a plurality of flip-flops, including at least a first flip flop and an endmost flip-flop, interoperably coupled in series to produce a predetermined dividing ratio, wherein each of the plurality of flip-flops includes differential inputs, differential outputs and differential clock inputs, the outputs of one flip-flop are connected to the corresponding inputs of a subsequent flip-flop, the outputs of the endmost flip-flop are connected inversely to the inputs of the first flip-flop, wherein the flip-flops are clocked at their clock inputs with differential clock signals in a consecutive manner which, for each flip-flop and depending on the dividing ratio, are individually selected from quadrature clock input signals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a radar detector and a radar detecting method for WLAN systems according to 802.11 wireless communication standards, and particularly concerns the radar detection for 802.11 h dynamic frequency selection mechanism. The essence of the innovation consists in projecting the received phase vector on the signal subspace orthogonal to the expected radar pulse subspace and taking the norm of the resulting vector. The closer the norm is to zero, the more likely the received signal is to be a radar pulse. The invention is able to detect both, sinusoidal radar signals and chirp-like radar signals.
