A system for automatically detecting the PHY mode based on the incoming preamble is disclosed. The system includes a multimode demodulator, which includes a preamble detector and a demodulator. The preamble detector is used to determine when the preamble has been received and the PHY mode being used by the sending node. An indication of the PHY mode is supplied to the demodulator, which then decides the incoming bit stream in accordance with the detected PHY mode. In some embodiments, one demodulator, capable of decoding the bit stream in accordance with a plurality of PHY modes is employed. In other embodiments, the system includes a plurality of demodulators, where each is dedicated to one PHY mode.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium are provided for utilizing a hybrid of ultra-wideband (UWB) and narrowband (NB) signaling to provide more efficient operating range and operating efficiency. For example, a first device may schedule transmission of a packet via a narrowband signal to a second device. The first device may then transmit the packet, whereby the packet conveys synchronization data that is used by the second device to schedule reception of a plurality of fragments, respectively, via an ultra-wideband (UWB) signal. The first device may then schedule and transmit the plurality of segments to the second device via the ultra-wideband signals, each fragment being time-spaced from other fragments of the plurality of fragments by at least a predefined time interval.

The present invention relates to a high data rate Ka-band modulator and transmitter for space applications that functions on the entire NASA Space Network Return Link band of 25.25-27.75 GHz. The modulator is capable of quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation and 8-PSK modulation. The transmitter can be designed to provide an adjustable drive to a traveling-wave tube amplifier (TWTA) or transmit power.

A physiological information collecting system and a transceiver device thereof are configured to collect physiological information from animal bodies. The transceiver device includes a front-end circuit, a follower circuit, a quadrature delay line and an output circuit. The front-end circuit separates a discontinuous signal into an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal. The follower circuit outputs a control voltage and rotates the in-phase signal by a predetermined phase angle to output a follower signal. The quadrature delay line rotates the quadrature signal by a corresponding phase angle according to the control voltage. The output circuit synthesizes the follower signal and the quadrature signal and outputs a data signal by demodulating the discontinuous signal. Consequently, the transceiver device reduces the bandwidth range of the discontinuous signal when receiving the discontinuous signal, reduces the power consumed by the transceiver device, and demodulates the discontinuous signal with various transmission rates of different data.

A transmitter in a first wireless communication device and method therein are disclosed. The transmitter comprises a modulator and a rate selector configured to select a data rate. The rate selector comprises an input configured to receive input bits and an output to provide the bits with the selected data rate. The transmitter further comprises a bit to symbol mapper configured to receive the bits from the rate selector and map the bits to symbols of an arbitrary alphabet. The transmitter further comprises a spreading unit configured to spread the symbols received from the bit to symbol mapper to a chip sequence by means of a spreading code. The transmitter further comprises a re-mapping unit configured to map the chip sequence received from the spreading unit to produce signals for providing to the modulator.

The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for implementation of cyclic prefix (CP) and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in 2 sub-carrier pi/2 binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation in a communication system. DMRS symbols arc interleaved with data-carrying symbols and configured such that they are alternatingly transmitted on different ones of the two sub-carriers. When a DMRS symbol is transmitted on one sub-carrier, the other sub-carrier may be unused. In implementing CP, phase rotations may be applied to modulation symbols, such that each concurrently transmitted pair of symbols is subjected to a same phase rotation. The phase rotation can be derived based on an average frequency of the two (e.g. adjacent) sub-carriers in use. The phase rotations can be updated recursively, and the update multiplied by a scaling factor.

A method and a device are described for determining data from a signal spread over at least one frequency base band representing the data. The method for generating a signal has a step of using at least one highly auto-correlated spread code sequence (1C, 2C) associated with the frequency base band for determining a delay with which a modulated portion (1P, 2P) of the data is spread on the signal. The method has further steps of determining said modulated portion from the signal using the delay and the spread code sequence (1C, 2C), of demodulating the modulated portion (1P, 2P) using phase shift keying, and of determining a remainder (1R, 2R) of the data using the delay.
