摘要： A method for detecting an RF signal detected by a super-regenerative receiver (1). The receiver includes a reference oscillator (4) for generating an oscillation in the oscillator, a bias current generator (7) for supplying a bias current, an oscillation detector (6) connected between an output (coilp) of the oscillator and the bias current generator for controlling when an RF signal is received by the receiver, and an impedance matching unit (3) disposed between the input of the receiver and the reference oscillator (4). Following activation of a start control signal, detection of the oscillation of the reference oscillator is performed, and once the reference oscillator oscillates above a critical increasing bias current value, the oscillation detector orders the bias current generator to cut off the bias current and thus stop the oscillation of the reference oscillator to reduce the overall electricity consumption during an RF signal detection phase.

摘要： For the process for determining a distance, there is provided a succession of coded signals at high frequency transmitted between a base station and a wearable object. A preparation of a response signal is conducted in the wearable object on reception of the first synchronisation signal after activation of the wearable object. A transmission of successive coded signals at high frequency from the wearable object is conducted for the station, of which the last response signal is scrambled by a modulation of data on the last signal received at a high transfer rate from the station. An analysis is conducted in a processing unit of the base station after reception of the signals from the wearable object to accurately determine the distance separating the base station from the recognised wearable object.

摘要： The communication process for high-sensitivity and synchronous demodulation signals between a transmitter (2) and a receiver (3) comprises a first synchronisation phase followed by a modulation and demodulation phase of the data. To achieve this, the transmitter transmits a pseudo-periodic chirp signal to the receiver, where a frequency conversion of the chirp signal is performed in a mixer (33) by an oscillating signal (So) at constant frequency of a local oscillator (34) to supply an intermediate signal, which is filtered and sampled for a logic unit (37). An assembly (38) of m pairs DFT blocks phase-shifted in relation to one another and operating in parallel is provided in the logic unit. A processing unit (39) receives the result of the pairs of the assembly to determine frequency and phase errors between the transmitter and the receiver on the basis of two peaks detected by one of the pairs above a threshold to synchronise the receiver.

摘要： A method for operating a fast start-up oscillator system, which includes a reference oscillator and a quartz oscillator connected to an electronic oscillator circuit, which is provided to supply a master clock signal to a start-up controller configured to perform a fast start-up procedure of the quartz oscillator via the reference oscillator. The start-up controller includes a calculation unit and a memory unit for storing data in connection with the reference oscillator for starting the quartz oscillator. The method includes parameterising the calculation unit for starting the quartz oscillator, generating excitation bursts, determining a phase deviation in different successive periods between the oscillation of the reference oscillator and the oscillation of the quartz oscillator, calculating a frequency error in the calculation unit, and correcting the frequency of the reference oscillator to the frequency of the quartz oscillator.

摘要： A method is provided for enhancing the detection of the start time of a reference oscillator (4) of a super-regenerative receiver (1), which includes the reference oscillator, a bias current generator (7), an oscillation detector (6), and an impedance matching unit (3). Following the supply of the bias current (i_vco) after receiving the activation control signal (Sosc), an oscillation detection is performed by the oscillation detector (6), and once oscillation is detected, an additional amplification current (iboost) dependent on the envelope of the detected oscillation, of an amplification current generation circuit is supplied to the reference oscillator (4) in addition to the bias current to amplify the oscillation signal to be above a critical oscillation start threshold so as to precisely define the start time of the oscillator, and enable the oscillation detector (6) to order the stoppage of oscillation of the reference oscillator (4).
