Abstract
An encoder includes a state machine configured to generate a payloads as a function of a state machine output, and an interface configured to generate a tail as a function of a binary representation of the state machine output at the end of the payload generation. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
Claims62
An encoder, comprising:
- a state machine configured to generate a plurality of state bits;
- and
- an interface configured to couple an input relating to one of the state bits into the state machine during a time period.
An encoder, comprising:
- state generation means for generating a plurality of state bits;
- and
- interface means for coupling an input relating to one of the state bits into the state generation means during a time period.
A transmitter, comprising:
- an encoder having,
- a state machine configured to generate a plurality of state bits, and
- an interface configured to couple an input relating to one of the state bits into the state machine during a time period;
- and
- an RF stage coupled to the encoder.
A transmitter, comprising:
- an encoder having,
- state generation means for generating a plurality of state bits, and
- interface means for coupling an input relating to one of the state bits into the state generation means during a time period;
- and
- an RF stage coupled to the encoder.
An encoder, comprising:
- a state machine configured to generate a state;
- and
- an interface configured to serially couple an input relating to a binary representation of the state into the state machine during a time period.
44 The encoder of claim 43 wherein the interface is configured to serially couple a plurality of input signals into the state machine during a second time period, and serially couple the binary representation of the state at the end of the second period into the state machine during the time period.
45 The encoder of claim 43 wherein the interface is configured to serially couple a plurality of input signals into the state machine during a second time period, and serially couple a compliment of the binary representation of the state at the end of the second period into the state machine during the time period.
An encoder, comprising:
- state generation means for generating a state;
- and
- interface means for serially coupling an input relating to a binary representation of the state into the state machine during a time period.
A method of generating a signal, comprising:
- generating a payload as a function of a state machine output;
- generating a tail as a function a binary representation of the state machine output at the end of the payload generation;
- and
- appending the tail to the payload.
