The present invention provides a data processing method and device. A data processing device receives a first data stream, where the first data stream includes a first data unit; obtains a boundary of the first data unit; obtains a first skew according to a first data amount and the boundary of the first data unit; and adjusts the first data stream according to the first skew, so that a difference between the boundary of the first data unit and a boundary of the first data amount is a length of an integral quantity of first data units, so that a relatively small amount of data is needed in such an adjustment, that is, one data stream is adjusted, and an adjusted data stream can meet a basic condition for multiplexing, which reduces operation complexity and costs and is beneficial to deploy and implement bit width conversion.

A digital demodulator for use with a Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) modem is provided. Analog input signals are digitized according to a sampling clock rate to produce a discrete time signal. Filtering and edge detection allow determinations of mark or space data in a demodulated signal in conjunction with analyzing a detected signal period, a cycle period, count histories and/or an on/off signal period.

A method for compensating phase shift is provided. The method includes sweeping a transmitter (TX) clock frequency over a frequency range and sampling resistance values at a receiver (RX) circuit while sweeping the TX clock frequency. A first frequency in the frequency range is determined which corresponds to a maximum resistance value sampled at the RX circuit. Using a look-up table (LUT), a phase adjust value is determined based on the first frequency. A phase of the TX clock is adjusted based on the phase adjust value.

This invention provides methods of beam-indexed spatial modulation (BISM) for multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technology. It does not only enhance the efficiency of MIMO using, but also address the compatibility problems in Spatial Modulation (SM-MIMO) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Index Modulation (OFDM-IM). Furthermore, the BISM improves the speed limitation problem and spectral efficiency issue in the current spatial modulation architectures.
