Abstract
A receiver with a power detecting function for a pulsed signal is provided. Said receiver comprises an accumulator for accumulating samples of the respective power of the corresponding signal over time. In this context, the respective accumulation length is a window being based on the pulse length of the corresponding signal. Furthermore, the receiver may additionally comprise an output for outputting several windows and a maximum detector. In this context, the maximum detector is configured to determine a maximum power value of the several windows.
Claims16
A receiver with a power detecting function for a pulsed signal, the receiver comprising:
- an accumulator configured to accumulate samples of power values of the pulsed signal over a period of time;
- an output configured to output a plurality of the accumulated sample power values, wherein the plurality of accumulated sample power values is accumulated over a respective window within the period of time;
- and
- a maximum detector configured to determine a maximum power value of the plurality of accumulated sample power values;
- and
- wherein the window is based on a pulse length of the pulsed signal, and
- wherein the determined maximum power value comprises a respective detected power of a corresponding pulse when it is in an on-state.
A receiving method with a power detecting function for a pulsed signal, the receiving method comprising the step of:
- accumulating samples of power values of the pulsed signal over a period of time, and outputting a plurality of the accumulated sample power values, wherein each of the plurality of accumulated sample power values is accumulated over a respective window within the period of time;
- and
- determining a maximum power value of the plurality of accumulated sample power values;
- and
- wherein the window is based on a pulse length of the pulsed signal, and
- wherein the determined maximum power value comprises a respective detected power of a corresponding pulse when it is in an on-state.
