Abstract
According to one aspect, an embodiment radio frequency receiver device comprises an input interface configured to receive a radio frequency signal of a given type and convert same into an electric signal, a detector configured to detect at least one voltage level in the electric signal, a pulse generator configured to generate at least one pulse train representative of the voltage levels detected, and a processing unit configured to determine the type of the radio frequency signal from the at least one pulse train.
Claims21
A method for receiving data in a radio frequency transmission, the method comprising:
- receiving a radio frequency signal of a specific type;
- converting the radio frequency signal into an electric signal;
- detecting, at least once, at least one voltage level in the electric signal;
