The present disclosure provides a method for compensating gain flatness of a transceiver including: a method for compensating gain flatness of a receiver, which compensates gain flatness of a receiving channel by using a complex-coefficient FIR filter in digital domain; and a method for compensating gain flatness of a transmitter, which compensates gain flatness of a transmitting channel by using a complex-coefficient FIR filter in digital domain. The method according to the present disclosure can balance compensation accuracy and calculation amount flexibly, and can focus on compensating the gain flatness at an edge of a frequency band, obtaining good performance with less calculation amount.

A radio receiver device is arranged to receive a radio signal modulated with a data packet including an address portion. The radio receiver comprises: a synchronisation circuit portion arranged to produce synchronization information corresponding to the data packet; a demodulation circuit portion comprising a correlator, wherein said demodulation circuit portion is arranged to receive the radio signal and to produce an estimate of the address portion comprising a plurality of demodulated bits using said correlator and the synchronisation information; an address checking circuit portion arranged to receive the plurality of demodulated bits, to check said plurality of demodulated bits for a predetermined bit pattern, and to produce a match flag if it determines that the plurality of demodulated bits corresponds to the predetermined bit pattern. The radio receiver device is arranged such that, upon detecting an upcoming timeout event, the demodulation circuit portion sends a timeout warning signal to the address checking circuit portion using a handshaking channel therebetween; said address checking circuit portion being arranged such that, if it receives the timeout warning signal, it stops checking the plurality of demodulated bits for the predetermined bit pattern.

A digital radio receiver has a matched filter bank of filter modules for receiving phase- or frequency-modulated radio signals. Each module cross-correlates a sampled signal with a respective multi-symbol filter sequence, using a plurality of samples in each symbol period. The matched filter bank calculates first values (z.sub.n(1)), for respective symbol periods, of a cross-correlation of the sampled signal with a first complex exponential function defined at sample points over one symbol period, and calculates second values (z.sub.n(1)), for the respective symbol periods, of a cross-correlation of the sampled signal with a second, different, complex exponential function. A set of the filter modules cross-correlates the sampled signal with their respective filter sequences using an algorithm that takes, as input, the first values (z.sub.n(1)) for symbol periods at which the respective filter sequence has a first value, and the second values (z.sub.n(1)) for symbol periods at which the filter sequence has a second, different, value.

The phase comparator may be configured to mix the received signal and a downconverted signal to create a mixed signal, compare a phase of the mixed signal to a predetermined phase, and generate a phase control signal based on the comparison, the downconverted signal being associated with the received signal from the first antenna. The phase adjuster may be configured to alter the phase of the intermediate frequency signal based on the phase control signal. The second downconverter may be configured to downconvert the phase-shifted intermediate frequency signal to create an output signal.
