  • Patent number: 11683071
    Abstract: Apparatus and method securely transfer first data from a source device to a target device. A wireless signal having (a) a higher speed channel conveying second data and (b) a lower speed channel conveying the first data is transmitted. The lower speed channel is formed by selectively transmitting the wireless signal from one of a first and second antennae of the source device based upon the first data. The first and second antenna are positioned a fixed distance apart and the target device uses a received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the first signal to decode the lower speed channel and receive the first data.

GNSS signals, associated with at least two different frequency bands, may be received at the external antenna and the GNSS signals may be transmitted to a connector module of the connector. The connector module may convert analog GNSS signals to generate digital radio frequency (RF) signals. The connector module may encrypt the digital RF signals to generate encrypted digital RF signals. The encrypted digital RF signals may be transmitted from the connector module to the mobile device. A multifrequency GNSS functionality module of the chipset may utilize decrypted digital RF signals to obtain GNSS raw measurements. The multifrequency GNSS functionality module and/or an application executing on the mobile device may utilize the GNSS raw measurements to compute position, velocity, and/or time (PVT).
