Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing undesirable behaviors in RF communications in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a vehicle telematics device includes a processor, a transceiver, an amplifier, and a memory connected to the processor and storing a transmission control application, wherein the transceiver is connected to the amplifier, the amplifier is connected to the processor, and the transmission control application directs the processor to format data to be transmitted by the transceiver, determine a leading bit-edge of the transceiver signal, direct the amplifier to sequentially amplify the transceiver signal, transmit data, and direct the amplifier to sequentially de-amplify the transceiver signal.
Claims20
A vehicle telematics device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a transceiver;
- an amplifier;
- and
- a memory connected to the processor and storing a transmission control application;
- wherein the transceiver is connected to the amplifier;
- wherein the amplifier is connected to the processor;
- wherein the transmission control application directs the processor to:
- format data to be transmitted by the transceiver;
- determine a leading bit-edge of the transceiver signal;
- direct the amplifier to sequentially amplify the transceiver signal;
- transmit data in response to sequential amplification of the transceiver signal;
- and
- direct the amplifier to sequentially de-amplify the transceiver signal in response to transmission of the data.
A method for reducing undesirable behaviors in RF communications, comprising:
- formatting data to be transmitted using a vehicle telematics device comprising a processor and a memory;
- determining a leading bit-edge of a low-power transceiver signal using the vehicle telematics device;
- directing an amplifier to sequentially amplify the low-power transceiver signal using the vehicle telematics device;
- transmitting the data using the vehicle telematics device in response to directing the amplifier to sequentially amplify the low-power transceiver signal:
- and
- directing the amplifier to sequentially de-amplify the low-power transceiver signal using the vehicle telematics device in response to transmitting the data.
