Abstract
A data carrier detector for a packet-switched communication network. The detector includes an envelope detector to provide peak-to-peak amplitude of an incoming waveform at any given time, a peak-to-peak amplitude monitor to monitor peak-to-peak amplitude, and to set a trigger when the peak-to-peak amplitude changes by a predetermined amount. The detector also includes a data packet searcher to start searching for a data packet when the peak-to-peak amplitude monitor issues the trigger. The detector further includes a data packet processor to process and extract information from the recovered data packet.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- an envelope detector to provide peak-to-peak amplitude of an incoming waveform at any given time;
- a peak-to-peak amplitude monitor to monitor peak-to-peak amplitude, to determine an upper trigger and a lower trigger of the waveform, to set a trigger signal when the peak-to-peak amplitude exceeds the upper trigger and to deactivate the trigger signal when the peak-to-peak amplitude falls below the lower trigger;
- a data packet searcher to start searching for a data packet when the peak-to-peak amplitude monitor issues the trigger;
- and
- a data packet processor to process and extract information from the recovered data packet.
A system, comprising:
- means for determining peak-to-peak amplitude of an incoming waveform at any given time;
- means for determining an upper trigger and a lower trigger of the waveform;
- means for setting a trigger signal when the peak-to-peak amplitude exceeds the upper trigger;
- means for searching for a data packet when the trigger signal is set;
- means for deactivating the trigger signal when the peak-to-peak amplitude falls below the lower trigger;
- and
- means for processing and extracting information from the recovered data packet.
