Patent number: 8576904Abstract: The pulse train of a signal is modulated by a DPIM modulation involving a discrete random time parameter. A first processing is performed on the signal to deliver a sampled signal. A second processing is performed on the sampled signal, comprising a correlation processing including at least one elementary correlation processing with a correlation mask corresponding to the shape of at least part of a sampled pulse, and delivering second information items. A third processing is performed for detecting the pulses following a first pulse by taking account of the position of the first pulse, on packets of second information items, which are separated by a duration related to the discrete random parameter.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2008Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignees: STMicrolelectronics (Rousset) SAS, Universite de Provence Aix Marseille IInventors: Hervé Chalopin, Anne Collard-Bovy, Philippe Courmontagne

Patent number: 7598818Abstract: An oscillator is provided that includes an oscillating structure generating an output signal with a frequency that drifts as a function of a parameter of its environment, and a compensation circuit coupled to the oscillating structure. The oscillating structure has a ring structure that includes delay cells looped together, and the compensation circuit supplies a compensation signal to the oscillating structure. The compensation signal varies as a function of changes in the parameter in order to compensate for the drift in the frequency of the generated signal. This makes it possible to compensate for oscillator temperature drifts in the absence of a regulation loop.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2005Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignees: STMicroelectronics SAS, Universite de Provence (Aix-Marseille I)Inventors: Gilles Bas, Vincent Cheynet De Beaupre, Zaid Lakhdar, Weneestas Rahajandraibe
