Patent number: 12063055Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing a fast Fourier transform in the analog domain with passive components. A complex analog signal that is shift and scale invariant is derived from analog circuit properties. A butterfly circuit processes such signals using only passive components by mapping the Kirchhoff current and voltage laws into operations on the signals. A fast Fourier transform circuit of any desired width is constructed from such butterfly circuits. The passive networks require no power as the operations are on the presented signal; energy is taken from the source signal so no battery or power supply is needed. Thus, when the signal becomes quiescent, the power consumed is zero. Further there is no need of a clock or other timing device; rather, it is the operation of Kirchhoff laws in the network, which apply essentially upon arrival of the signal, that is made analogous to the desired operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: SiliconIntervention Inc.Inventor: A.

Patent number: 11784709Abstract: A method and a receiver device for detecting the start of a frame of a satellite communication signal. A shaping filtering is applied directly after sampling of the signal, before a frequency correction is applied. During a first phase, an approximate frequency error and a candidate first sample for the start of the frame are estimated by performing several correlations respectively associated with different frequency hypotheses. The samples obtained after sampling or after shaping filtering are buffered during the execution of the first phase. Then, during a second phase, a final candidate sample for the start of the frame is determined from the memorised samples, using the approximate frequency error and the candidate first sample estimated during the first phase.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE SASInventors: Lyonel Barthe, Benjamin Gadat

Patent number: 11729716Abstract: Systems and methods of transmitting and receiving a Wake-Up Radio (WUR) packet by using a simplified preamble structure that contains no training field. The preamble carries a signature sequence selected from a set of predefined sequences, each corresponding to a different data transmission rate. The preamble and the control information of the WUR packet are transmitted in the same rate as indicated by the selected sequence. Hence, a receiving WUR can determine the data transmission rate and locate the associated control information directly if a sequence that matches a predefined signature sequence is detected. The same sequence or in combination with an additional sequence in the preamble may also be used to indicate automatic gain control synchronization, packet type and other related information.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2018Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Inventors: Jianhan Liu, Po-Yuen Cheng, Thomas Edward Pare, Jr.

Patent number: 11726200Abstract: A direct line-of-sight (DLOS) radio frequency (RF) signal component and a reflected RF signal component of an RF carrier signal are received from a transmitter. The reflected component is reflected from a point on the surface of the earth. The DLOS component is converted to a digital DLOS intermediate frequency (IF) signal and the reflected component that is converted to a digital reflected IF signal. Modeled reference signal parameters are generated using the digital DLOS IF signal and known locations of the one or more antennas, the transmitter, and the point. A reference signal is generated based on the modeled reference signal parameters and feedback of a previously estimated phase correction (??). The reference signal is correlated with the digital reflected IF signal to produce in-phase and quadrature-phase correlation results. Estimated carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N0) and ?? values are calculated for the digital reflected IF signal from the correlation results.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: The Regents of the University of Colorado, A Body CorporateInventors: Yang Wang, Yu T.
