Abstract:
A signal processing system (100) includes a transmission module (Tm1) and a receiving module (Rm1). The transmission module (Tm1) generates and transmits a transmitted radio frequency signal (Stx1) according to a data signal (Sdata1) and a first spread vector (v11). The transmission module includes a spread spectrum unit (Usf1), a digital-to-analog converter (Udac1) and a mixer (Umx11). The spread spectrum unit (Usf1) generates a spread spectrum signal according to the data signal and the first spread vector. The digital-to-analog converter (Udac1) generates an analog signal according to the spread spectrum signal. The mixer (Umx11) mixes the analog signal and a carrier signal so as to generate the transmitted radio frequency signal. The receiving module (Rm1)receives a received radio frequency signal (Srx1) and a second spread vector (v12) so as to generate a spectrum despread signal (Sdf1) and generate object detection information data accordingly. The received radio frequency signal is generated by having the transmitted radio frequency signal reflected by a measured object (Od).

The control node (25, 325) of the switch (24, 320) is tied to a predetermined bias voltage (26, 326). When the first control signal (30, 330) is applied, the capacitor (22) is coupled between the first node (41, 341) and the third node (43, 343) via the switch (24, 320), and when the second control signal (30, 330) is applied the capacitor (22) is decoupled from the inductor (18, 420, 421).

Abstract:
Systems and methods for delivering real-time video imagery to a receiver (110) over a channel (108). A current video frame is captured and digitized. The digitized frame is divided into a plurality of macroblocks. For each macroblock an intra, inter or skip mode coding mode is determined. Based on instantaneous feedback received from a receiver regarding successfully received video packets for a prior video frame, a quantization parameter is set and the macroblocks are encoded in accordance with their respective selected coding mode. Synchronized error concealment is performed at both encoder (104) and decoder (112) sides of the system and retransmission of lost video packets, using an adaptive retransmission scheme, is performed in accordance with the instantaneous feedback from the receiver (110).

A radio frequency switch circuit (100) includes a series circuit (110_1 to 110_4, 210, 310, 410). The series circuit (110_1 to 110_4, 210, 310, 410) includes a first series connection group (211, 311, 411) and a second series connection group (212, 312, 412). The first series connection group (211, 311, 411) includes first transistors (T1_1 to T4_1). The second series connection group (212, 312, 412) includes second transistors (T1_2 to T4_2).

In a normal operation state, switch states of the first series connection group (211, 311, 411) and the second series connection group (212, 312, 412) are the same as each other.
