Patent number: 9787511Abstract: A method may comprise receiving and sampling a signal. The signal may encode a data packet. A slice may be generated and stored comprising a pair of values for each of a selected number of samples of the signal representing a correlation of the signal to reference functions in the receiver. The presence of the data packet may then be detected and the detected packet decoded from the stored slices. The generating and storing slices may be carried out as the received signal is sampled. The sampled values of the signal may be discarded as the slices are generated and stored. The slice representation of the signal can be manipulated to generate filters with flexible bandwidth and center frequency.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2016Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: PROTEUS DIGITAL HEALTH, INC.Inventors: Robert Fleming, Cherie Kushner, William H.

Patent number: 9577864Abstract: In a software receiver, a received electromagnetic signal is sampled in “slices”, each having a duration of some multiple of a reference frequency. The samples of each slice are correlated with values in a pair of reference signals, such as sine and cosine, at the reference frequency. This yields a two-tuple for each slice, which two-tuples may be stored. The stored two-tuples can be simply added to arrive at a correlation value of narrower bandwidth than that of any slice taken alone. The stored two-tuples can be taken in sequence, each rotated by some predetermined angle relative to its predecessor in sequence, and the rotated two-tuples summed to arrive at a correlation value with respect to a frequency that is offset from the reference frequency to an extent that relates to the predetermined angle. In this way, the receiver is able to proceed despite the transmitted frequency not being known exactly in advance and does not require prodigious storage or computational resources.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2013Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Proteus Digital Health, Inc.Inventors: Robert Alan Fleming, Cherie Elaine Kushner, William McAllister, Mark Zdeblick
