  • Patent number: 12063139
    Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that can provide in-phase and quadrature LO signals having an accurate phase relationship and matching amplitudes. An example can provide a quadrature modulator having phase-correction circuitry and amplitude-correction circuitry. The quadrature modulator can include a quadrature hybrid to receive an LO signal from a phase-locked loop or other clock source. The quadrature hybrid can provide in-phase and quadrature LO signals to phase-correction circuitry, which can accurately align a difference in the phase of the in-phase and quadrature signals to 90 degrees. The amplitudes of the resulting signals can be adjusted to have a desired amplitude using amplitude-correction circuitry. The amplitude-and-phase-corrected LO signals can be used to modulate in-phase and quadrature components of a baseband signal. The modulated products can be combined, gained, and filtered as necessary for wireless transmission, device testing, or other purpose.

  • Patent number: 12040826
    Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless technology transmits digital data as modulated coded impulses over a very wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance. Accordingly, the inventors have established UWB devices which accommodate and adapt to inaccuracies, errors, or issues within the implemented electronics, hardware, firmware, and software. Beneficially, UWB receivers may accommodate offsets in absolute frequency between their frequency source and the transmitter, accommodate drift arising from phase locked loop and/or from relative clock frequency offsets of the remote transmitter and local receiver. UWB devices may also employ modulation coding schemes offering increased efficiency with respect to power, data bits per pulse transmitted, and enabled operation at higher output power whilst complying with regulatory emission requirements.

  • Patent number: 11832208
    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for assigning Ultra-Wideband (UWB) anchors for client ranging. A location server can estimate a coarse location of a mobile device using a localization technique other than a UWB localization technique. The localization technique can involve multiple wireless access points or other radio devices. The location server can define an area around the coarse location to identify a set of candidate anchors for UWB ranging. The set of candidate anchors can be disposed within the area and include at least a subset of the radio devices. The location server can modify the set of candidate anchors to create a modified set of candidate anchors that includes only UWB-enabled devices. The location server can select a primary anchor from the modified set of candidate anchors and send a command to cause a UWB ranging procedure to be initiated between the primary anchor and the mobile device.
