Patent number: 9176234Abstract: GPS navigation devices or GPS receivers can consume less power by using a temperature recorder circuit and/or a power manager in maintaining the accuracies of the GPS receiver time and reference frequency to improve battery life. A representative receiver includes a time reference device and the temperature recorder circuit that operate while the receiver hibernates. The time reference device generates clock signals and the temperature recorder circuit receives and operates using the clock signals from the time reference device. The temperature recorder senses the temperature of the time reference device. The temperature recorder circuit is designed to send a wake-up signal to at least one electrical component of the receiver to wake up the electrical component of the receiver. The electrical component of the receiver includes at least one of the following: a GPS signal processing system and a frequency reference device.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2012Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, LTD.Inventors: Daniel Babitch, Steven A. Gronemeyer, Peter Naji

Patent number: 8514982Abstract: Systems and methods for mitigating multipath signals in a receiver are provided. In this regard, a representative system, among others, includes a radio frequency (RF) front-end and at least one analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The RF front-end receives FM signals and down-converts the received frequency signals to intermediate frequency (IF) signals. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) receives the intermediate frequency signals and digitizes multiple FM channels around a desired FM channel associated with the down-converted signals. The system further includes multiple sets of digital processing components that are configured to simultaneously receive and process the digitized multiple channels. The multiple sets of digital processing components include at least two parallel channel selection and demodulation paths in which the respective digitized multiple channels are processed therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2008Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: CSR Technology, IncInventors: Noshir Dubash, Siva Bonasu, Peter Naji, Douglas W.

Patent number: 6205073Abstract: A current conveyor for readout of a magnetic tunneling junction memory cell is coupled to a data readout line connected to at least one MTJ memory cell. The current conveyor includes a FET with a source terminal coupled to a current source and a drain terminal coupled to the data readout line. The gate terminal of the FET is connected to an output terminal of an operational amplifier connected to receive negative feedback from the data readout line and to receive a bias voltage on a second input terminal. The current conveyor has very low input impedance so that minimum data readout line swing is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2000Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventor: Peter Naji
