  • Method of operating a receiver to process a preamble of a data packet, and to a receiver operating in accordance with the method
    Patent number: 10674459
    Abstract: An improved receiver for use in a data pocket communications is provide, where the process of configuring the gain of the receiver and identifying a preamble in the data packet are made more robust. The improved receiver does not need to rely on the received power level exceeding a trigger threshold to initiate the gain control. Instead the gain control runs while the receiver is waiting for a data packet. The frequency correction process can run concurrently with the gain control process.
