Abstract: Signal processing to compensate for gain control output spikes caused by steps in a digital step attenuator. A method includes receiving a changing power input signal at a receiver. The method includes determining that a change in power of the input signal will cause a step attenuator to change its attenuation in a step of a predetermined amount. The method further includes based on determining that the change in power of the input signal will cause a digital step attenuator to change its attenuation in a step of a predetermined amount, causing a variable attenuator to change its attenuation by an amount related to the predetermined amount at a time coinciding with a time when the step attenuator changes its attenuation by the predetermined amount. The method further includes outputting a gain-controlled output signal resulting from applying the step attenuator and the variable attenuator to the changing power input signal.

The DFE derives a set of tentative decisions for the voltage region, the set excluding at least one of the possible values for the symbol under consideration. A feedback stage then selects a final decision from among the tentative decisions.

Abstract: A radio frequency, RF, receiver circuit is configured to simultaneously monitor a two or more different RF frequencies. The RF receiver circuit uses a sub-sampler to sub-sample an RF signal that is at any of the monitored RF frequencies, and the sub-sampled signal is then demodulated and a digital code that was encoded in the RF signal is recovered. The RF receiver circuit may be particularly low power, in part owing to using the same sub-sampler for each of the two or more monitored RF frequencies, and not relying on superheterodyning. Furthermore, monitoring two or more different RF frequencies simultaneously means that signals received on the monitored RF frequencies may be acted on very quickly. These characteristics make the RF receiver circuit particularly suitable for use in low-power wake-up receivers, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wake-up receivers.
