Patent number: 9560673Abstract: An example method of assessing one more communication channels includes receiving an indication to initiate channel assessment, receiving a user-selected first set of assessment parameters, and determining whether or not the first communication channel is busy based on the first set of assessment parameters. The method also includes replacing the first set of assessment parameters with a user-selected second set of assessment parameters, and determining whether or not the second communication channel is busy based on the second set of assessment parameters.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2014Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Atmel CorporationInventors: Thomas Hanusch, Udo Walter, Jeannette Zarbock

Patent number: 7890078Abstract: A dual band WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) communications technique is provided where a frequency synthesizer unit generates an LO (Local Oscillator) signal at a frequency between both frequency bands and two downconversion units and/or two upconversion units are provided. One of the units performs conversion between the LO signal and an IF (Intermediate Frequency) signal while the other conversion takes place between the IF signal and a zero-IF or low-IF signal. Signal processing is performed on the zero-IF or low-IF signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2010Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Wolfram Kluge, Sascha Beyer, Jeannette Zarbock
