Abstract
A WiGig wireless device partially performs a masking processing on a preamble of a transmission signal frame and generates a repetition pattern of the same pulse capable of being used in a correlation detection of a sensor. That is, a repetition pattern of a Golay code is output by intermittently performing the masking processing on the Golay code sequence. The sensor performs the correlation detection using a pulse compression technology, thereby detecting the antenna radiation pattern even in an environment where a reflected wave is generated, by separating the direct wave and the reflected wave.
Claims3
A wireless communication device comprising:
- modulation circuitry which, in operation, generates a first signal frame including a data main body and a preamble based on a Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) specification;
- mask timing generation circuitry which, in operation, determines a control timing of a plurality of preamble transmission periods and a plurality of preamble transmission stops periods in measuring an antenna radiation pattern;
- signal masking circuitry which, in operation, generates a second signal frame by applying the plurality of preamble transmission periods and the plurality of preamble transmission stop periods based on the control timing in measuring the antenna radiation pattern, wherein the signal masking circuitry outputs the second signal frame, which is a pulse compression signal;
- and
- transmission circuitry which, in operation, transmits the first signal frame in transmitting data, and transmits the second signal frame in measuring the antenna radiation pattern, a preamble of the second signal frame being transmitted during the plurality of preamble transmission periods and not being transmitted during the plurality of preamble transmission stop periods.
