Patent number: 7130334Abstract: The present invention includes a cellular pilot signal detector or searcher for use in a cellular mobile communications unit. The signal detector uses a matched filter to detect a pilot signal transmitted from a cellular base station. The matched filter includes a plurality of taps and a plurality of delays located between adjacent taps. The signal components of a received digital signal are held on the taps of the matched filter by the delays. The matched filter compares the signal components of the received signal to an expected or searched for digital pattern. The matched filter puts out a relatively large signal if the received digital signal matches the expected digital pattern. The matched filter can also be used in parallel with a correlator.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2004Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Qualcomm, Inc.Inventors: Charles E. Wheatley, III, John E. Maloney

Patent number: 7072647Abstract: A system and method for parallel programming an electronic device's memory during manufacturing. In one embodiment, the electronic device is programmed in parallel with test code and a portion of the system code prior to board level testing. The test code is then used during board level testing of the electronic device. Once board level testing is complete, the electronic device is programmed with additional system code to complement the existing system code, whereby system level testing is then performed.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2000Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: John E.

Patent number: 6453169Abstract: A communication device including a power key located on an outer surface of the housing which may provide multiple functions, but is resistant to initiation of undesired handset functions. Control circuitry within the communication device may be configured to ignore any actuation of the power key with a duration less than a determined time period. The control circuitry performs a first function if the power key is depressed for a first duration, and performs a second function when the power key is depressed for a second duration. For example, depression of the power key for a short period of time may silence and incoming call alert, whereas depression of the power key for a longer period of time will turn the communication device on or off.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1997Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventor: John E.

Patent number: 6366241Abstract: A method and system for determining with enhanced accuracy a line of bearing and related signal characteristics of a mobile wireless transceiver in a cellular-telephone communications system is presented. Three or more conventionally configured antenna elements are used to provide a high resolution line of bearing estimate through disambiguation of positional parameters associated with inter-element signal characteristics derived from signal products. The high resolution line of bearing estimate can then be used to determine the location of the transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2001Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: TruePosition, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth D.
