20090285334 | METHOD FOR AMPLITUDE INSENSITIVE PACKET DETECTION - The invention relates generally to the field of wireless communications and more particularly to a method of and device for detecting the presence of a received data packet in a digital receiver. The present invention proposes a simplified method of correlation by removing dependency on the amplitude fluctuations while at the same time maintaining phase relevancy. The key advancement involves mapping the complex quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) preamble to a quantized phase shift keying (PSK) constellation before application to a matched complex correlator. The proposed process essentially “amplitude normalizes” the input signal without the use or complexity associated with a divider. This simplified normalization scheme makes the packet detection algorithm robust against amplitude variations in the input signal, while still allowing for good correlation output. In applications where interference is superimposed on the I/Q input signals, the invention improves the detection capability over automatic gain control (AGC) normalization methods. | 11-19-2009 |

20140307565 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TV WHITE SPACE SPECTRUM SENSING - A spectrum sensor detects the presence of incumbent signals in the television-band. The spectrum sensor can detect digital Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) signals below a −114 dBm signal level and wireless microphone signals below a −110 dBm signal level with false detection rates less than 10%. A radio module receives radio-frequency signals and produces an intermediate-frequency signal reflecting signal received in a selected television channel. A baseband processor module receives the intermediate-frequency signal, digitizes it, and processes the digital data to detecting whether an incumbent signal is present in the selected channel. The processing may include using pilot detection based on power spectrum thresholding or statistic characteristic extraction to detect ATSC signals. The processing may also include using power spectrum thresholding or covariance based signal detection to detect wireless microphone signals. | 10-16-2014 |
