Abstract: A synchronized I/Q detection circuit is provided. A first subset of input signals and, subsequently, a second subset of input signals are provided by a first multiplexer and received by a first phase detector. Outputs of the first phase detector are receiving, by a first reset and sampling circuit. A second set of input signals are provided by a second multiplexer and received by a second phase detector, from a second multiplexer, while the first multiplexer receives the first and second subsets of input signals. The first subset of input signals has a same phase order as the second set of input signals, and the second subset of input signals has a different phase order than the second set of input signals. Outputs of the second phase detector are received by a second reset and sampling circuit. A comparator outputs a detected phase difference based on the outputs of the first and second reset and sampling circuits.

Abstract: A data communication system capable of forwarding IP-addressed data to devices as such devices move among networks having different IP addresses is dislcosed herein. The system includes first and second networks containing first and second pluralities of nodes. At least one of the first plurality of nodes is adapted to receive data transmissions from an external IP-based network. Upon joining the first network, this device is assigned an IP address which remains with it irrespective of whether it moves beyond the range of the first network. When this device roams into the vicinity of the second network, data addressed to the device which is received at the first network is forwarded via at least one node of the second network to the roaming device.
