    摘要: In general, the present invention relates to an adaptive IF filter for a multiband receiver. According to certain aspects, the adaptive IF filter can be dynamically configured as a low-pass architecture or a complex band-pass architecture. According to further aspects, the adaptive IF filter enables a wideband receiver which can simultaneously receive multiple frequency bands, but still protect itself from close-in or in-band jammers by selecting a single frequency band or subset of frequency bands. This retains the multiband functionality of the receiver under nominal conditions, which is traded off dynamically for a single-frequency-band with high jammer resistance under severe jamming conditions. According to still further aspects, the approach of the invention is particularly useful for GNSS receivers, since unlike a cellular transceiver, a temporary loss of signal is not catastrophic to GNSS receivers due to the long integration times.

    摘要: Methods of fabricating ultra-low power transistors are described using advanced technology nodes (e.g. 40 nm or less). In an embodiment, by optimizing a MOSFET to a different point, i.e. for low junction off (or leakage) current rather than speed/on current, a MOSFET can be produced which still meets the HCl reliability specification but has significantly reduced power consumption when off, e.g. half to one third of the standard off current. At this new optimisation point, the LDD dose is reduced to a level (e.g. 10-20% of the standard LDD dose) such that if it is reduced further, the device will no longer pass the HCl reliability specification. This is in contrast to standard MOSFETs which are optimized for speed/on current and have an LDD dose which, if increased further, would cause the device to no longer pass the HCl reliability specification.

    摘要: A radio apparatus includes a first transceiver arranged to receive and transmit packets according to a first protocol, and a second transceiver arranged to receive or transmit packets according to a second, different protocol, wherein the second transceiver is located such that there is the possibility of interference between packets of the first and second protocols. An analyzer unit determines a probability that a packet to be transmitted or received by the first transceiver does not contain only redundant information; and a decision unit makes a decision based on the determined probability as to whether or not the packet should be respectively transmitted or received. The first transceiver is arranged to respectively transmit or receive the packet or not according to the decision.

    摘要: Devices and methods of determining a proximity of a receiver to a tag in a predetermined region. A signal characteristic is sensed at the receiver from the tag and an assisting tag. Zones are defined representing proximity of the receiver to each tag. A presence probability vector for the receiver and zones of each tag is estimated based on the signal characteristic. For the assisting tag, a further presence probability vector for the receiver and zones of the tag is estimated, given the presence probability vector for the assisting tag, based on a spatial relationship between the tag and the assisting tag. A combined probable proximity vector for the receiver and zones of the tag are calculated, using the presence probability vector for the tag and the further presence probability vector via a Bayesian network. The proximity of the receiver to the tag is based on the combined vector.
