Patents by Inventor Jeremy Pruitt

Jeremy Pruitt has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12273134
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a wakeup receiver operation is described. The apparatus may include a splitter that splits a received signal into a first component signal and a second component signal. The signal may include a code sequence, where each symbol of a plurality of symbols of the code sequences includes one of a set of sub-sequences. The apparatus may delay the first component signal and multiply the first component signal with the delayed first component signal and delay the second component signal and multiply the second component signal with the delayed second component signal to generate a first and second output. The apparatus may also determine a representation of the code sequence based on a sequence of levels of the first output and the second output over the plurality of symbols.

  • Publication number: 20230045476
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a wakeup receiver operation is described. A receiver may include a conversion circuit that converts an RF signal to a baseband signal, where the baseband signal comprise a set of symbols received at a symbol rate. The receiver may include an analog-to-digital converter that converts the baseband signal to samples at a sample rate greater than the symbol rate. The receiver may include a set of correlators, each correlator of the set may receive a respective subset of the samples of the baseband signal and generate a respective output. The receiver may include a compare circuit that receives the respective outputs from the set of correlators and compares the respective outputs with a threshold, where the compare circuit also generates a wakeup command based at least in part on at least one output of the respective outputs satisfying the threshold.
