  • WIRELESS STREAMED DATA TO USB CONVERTER AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20100211708
    Abstract: A converter and method for converting wirelessly streamed data to USB compatible data is provided. The converter includes a USB connector for interfacing with a first electronic device that is USB ready to provide USB compatible data, such as file and directory data structure. The converter also includes a wireless communication link that is adapted to receive wirelessly streamed data from a second electronic device. The converter further includes control circuitry for processing the wirelessly streamed data and converting the streamed data to USB compatible data that is compatible with the USB ready first electronic device such that the streamed data from the second electronic device may be used by the first electronic device.

  • VEHICLE TELEMATICS SATELLITE DATA TRANSCEIVER UTILIZING FM RADIO CIRCUITRY
    Publication number: 20070281626
    Abstract: A transceiver for transmitting and receiving satellite RF signals is provided. The transceiver includes RF front-end receiver circuitry capable of receiving FM radio broadcast RF signals and converting the FM radio broadcast RF signals to an intermediate frequency. The RF front-end receiver circuitry is configured to receive RF signals at greater than 108 MHz and convert the RF signals to an intermediate frequency. The transceiver also includes signal processing circuitry including at least one DSP core for demodulating intermediate frequency signals provided by the front-end circuitry and for modulating data to be transmitted into baseband modulated data signals, and at least one audio output. The transceiver further includes RF transmitter circuitry configured to convert the baseband modulated data signals provided by the at least one DSP core into modulated transmit signals having a frequency greater than 108 MHz for transmission and transmit the modulated transmit signals.
