Abstract: An improved technique for detecting the presence or absence of one or more predetermined signals in a shared spectrum. In accordance with the disclosed embodiments, a received RF signal may be down-converted to a baseband signal, which is subsequently processed by a spectrum sensor to detect the presence or absence of a predetermined signal, such as a predetermined radar signal. The spectrum sensor may transform the baseband signal to the frequency domain, for example using a fast Fourier transform, to generate a corresponding set of frequency components. The spectrum sensor multiplies the frequency components of the baseband signal with the frequency response of a matched filter having a set of coefficients corresponding to the predetermined signal. The spectrum sensor may convert the matched-filter output signal to the time domain, for example using an inverse fast Fourier transform, and then may determine a value indicative of the signal power that it compares with a known threshold value.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system, method, and apparatus to transmit/receive TMDS signals using general purpose differential transmitter and receivers. In an embodiment, the general purpose differential transmitter and receivers are designed to operate with differential signaling schemes such as LVDS and LVPECL. In one aspect, embodiments according to the present invention enable the re-configuration of existing and fully-characterized LVDS/LVPECL transmitter/receiver cells to support TMDS (using minimal sets of external components). This provides considerable cost and development time savings, thereby allowing the development of products much more expediently. In another aspect, embodiments according to the present invention provide interfacing methods and systems between differential signaling schemes such as LVDS/LVPECL and TMDS.
