Abstract: The present invention provides a radio signal controller comprising: a memory device having a plurality of memory locations individually configured to store at least one radio signal level value; a memory controller operable to sequentially address the memory locations; and a signal generator operable to receive at least one radio signal level value and output a radio control signal responsive thereto. The present invention additionally provides for a radio communication device, radio communication system and method of controlling a radio.

Abstract: A radio controller arrangement for controlling communication signal timing in a duplex radio-frequency TDMA radio includes a TDMA timer that generates a receive timing signal and a microprocessor circuit. The microprocessor circuit commands the TDMA timer to activate the radio to receive a signal and converts the signal into packets having synchronization and data fields. The TDMA timer synchronizes a beginning of a data collection operation to the synchronization field and locates the beginning of the data field based on the end of the synchronization field. The TDMA timer collects data from the data field until it detects the end of the data field. The TDMA timer then commands deactivation of the radio. The radio controller arrangement may be incorporated into a communication device or used in connection with a method for controlling communication signal timing.

Abstract: A clock signal is extracted from a received signal. An edge detector detects edges of the received signal, where the received signal transitions between a logic 0 and a logic 1. A center between each pair of consecutive edges is determined. Each center which is not within an associated correction window is discarded. An extracted clock signal is generated. The phase of the extracted clock signal is varied based on the centers between each pair of consecutive edges which are not discarded. In one embodiment, a current correction window size is varied based on whether an immediate previous center was within an immediate previous correction window. When the immediate previous center is discarded because it is not within the immediate previous correction window, the current correction window size is enlarged.
