METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR JOINT PACKET DETECTION AND RF PULSE SYNCHRONIZATION IN A SUPER-REGENERATIVE RECEIVER

摘要

A method and system for improving performance of a super-regenerative receiver is disclosed. The method is especially beneficiary for low power short range applications. Higher over-quenching may produce better ROC than quench-rate equal to unity while considering quench signal pulse is randomly aligned with the RF pulse. The method operates over multiple ROCs which does not exist simultaneously by jointly considering RF pulse synchronization and packet detection problem and hence provides a hybrid approach to maximize the packet detection probability while minimizing the false alarm rate. Suitable usage of over-quench rate ensures optimal system performance. FIG. 15
