Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transmitter and method for calibrating power in signals output from a transmitter.SOLUTION: A transmitter circuit (10) with a first characteristic controllable by a first control signal and a second characteristic controllable by a second control signal is calibrated using a calibration method which enables accurate power control. The transmitter circuit (10) generally comprises a VGA amplifier (16) and a power amplifier (22). Generally, the gain of the VGA amplifier (16) is controlled and so is the current supplied to the power amplifier (22). The method comprises a number of operations including defining a set of multiple signal values for the first control signal, and setting the first control signal to a level corresponding to a signal value from the set of multiple first control signal values. Then, the second control signal is adjusted to cause the transmitter to operate in a desired manner, and the power in a signal transmitted by the transmitter is measured. The setting, adjusting and measuring steps are repeated for each signal value in the set of multiple first control signal values.

The transmitter circuit (10) generally comprises a VGA amplifier (16) and a power amplifier (22). In general, a gain of the VGA amplifier (16) is controlled and so is an electric current supplied to the power amplifier (22). The method comprises a number of operations including defining a set of a plurality of signal values for the first control signal and setting the first control signal to a level corresponding to the signal value from the set of the plurality of the first control signal values. Then, the second control signal is adjusted so that the transmitter operates in a desired method and the power in a signal transmitted by the transmitter is measured. The setting, adjustment, and measurement are repeated for each signal value in the set of the plurality of the first control signals. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A method for determining a distance upper bound by a verifier device is described. The method includes measuring a first round-trip time to receive a first response from a target device corresponding to a first message sent to the target device. The method also includes measuring a second round-trip time to receive a second response from the target device corresponding to a second message sent to the target device, the second response being delayed by a processing time multiplier. The method further includes determining a transit time measurement based on the first round-trip time, the second round-trip time and the processing time multiplier. The method additionally includes determining the distance upper bound based on the transit time measurement.
