Abstract
An apparatus comprises an RF receiver for receiving an RF signal. The RF receiver includes front-end circuitry to generate a first down-converted signal, and a plurality of signal detectors to generate a corresponding plurality of detection signals from signals derived from the down-converted signal. The RF receiver further includes a controller to provide at least one control signal to the front-end circuitry based on the plurality of detection signals.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a radio-frequency (RF) receiver for receiving an RF signal, the RF receiver comprising:
- front-end circuitry to generate a down-converted signal;
- a plurality of signal detectors to generate from the down-converted signal a plurality of detection signals and a plurality of frequency offset estimates;
- at least one compensation circuit to compensate for frequency offset;
- and
- a controller to provide at least one frequency offset estimate in the plurality of frequency offset estimates to the at least one compensation circuit based on the plurality of detection signals.
An apparatus comprising:
- a radio frequency (RF) receiver for receiving a receive signal, the RF receiver comprising:
- front-end circuitry to generate a first down-converted signal from the receive signal;
- a plurality of preamble detectors to generate a plurality of detection signals and a plurality of frequency offset estimations from the first down-converted signal;
- at least one compensation circuit to compensate for frequency offset;
- and
- a controller to provide at least one frequency offset estimate in the plurality of frequency offset estimates to the at least one compensation circuit based on the plurality of detection signals.
A method of operating a radio-frequency (RF) receiver, the method comprising:
- generating, by using a front-end circuit, a down-converted signal from an RF signal;
- generating, by using a plurality of signal detectors a plurality of detection signals and a plurality of frequency offset estimates from signals derived from the down-converted signal;
- using at least one compensation circuit to compensate for frequency offset;
- and
- providing, by using a controller, at least one frequency offset estimate in the plurality of frequency offset estimates to the compensation circuit based on the plurality of detection signals.
