Disclosed herein is a multi-band ZigBee transceiver for supporting IEEE 802.15.4 wireless communications. In the multi-band ZigBee transceiver, a Multi-Mode Modem (MMM) selects any one of a European version standard using 860 MHz band, a US version standard using 920 MHz band, and a worldwide version standard using 2.4 GHz ISM band among IEEE 802.15.4 standards. A frequency synthesizing unit variably adjusts a carrier frequency according to the transmission standard. A transmission unit receives a digital modulated signal, low-pass-filters the digital modulated signal with a bandwidth thereof being variably adjusted, and up-converts the filtered digital modulated signal into an RF modulated signal corresponding to the selected transmission channel. A receiving unit down-converts the RF modulated signal into a BB modulated signal using the carrier frequency, low-pass-filters the BB modulated signal with a bandwidth thereof being variably adjusted according to the selected transmission standard, converts the filtered BB modulated signal into a digital modulated signal, and outputs the digital modulated signal to the MMM. A transmission/reception switch unit outputs the RF modulated signal, input from the transmission unit, to an antenna, or outputs the RF modulated signal, received from the antenna, to the receiving unit.

The invention provides a resource pre-scheduling method for a device-to-device (D2D) communication system working under industrial scientific media (ISM) frequency bands. The method comprises the following steps that: step 1: a central control node in a cellular network determines the total quantity of time frequency resources available to device-to device (D2D) communication after industrial scientific media (ISM) frequency band channels are successfully seized; step 2: each device-to-device (D2D) communication pair under the administration of the central control node reports resource occupation requirements of the device-to-device (D2D) communication pairs to the central control node to which the device-to device (D2D) communication pairs belong, and the central control node calculates time frequency resources scheduled for the device-to-device (D2D) communication pairs according to the requirements; and step 3: the central control node groups all device-to-device (D2D) communication pairs which are under the administration of the central control node, and performs resource pre-scheduling on each device-to-device (D2D) communication pair in each group and ensures that the sum of the quantity of the time frequency resources scheduled to all the device-to-device (D2D) communication pairs is not larger than the total quantity of the time frequency resources.

A cathodic protection monitor is disclosed to be electrically connected to a cathodic protection rectifier that is adapted to prevent rust, corrosion and possible leakage in an underground pipe or storage tank above which the rectifier is supported. The cathodic protection monitor includes a CPU that reads, digitizes and stores analog current and voltage signals which are supplied from the DC output of the rectifier and are indicative of the effectiveness thereof. The monitor includes an ISM band transceiver and antenna by which the CPU is polled and from which packets of stored data are transmitted to a data collector at an overhead airplane or nearby motor vehicle for retransmission and analysis by the pipe owner or maintenance crew. Synchronized timing signals are supplied (from the National Bureau of Standards) to a stable auxiliary clock by way of a WWVB transceiver and antenna. The auxiliary clock from each of a plurality of cathodic protection monitors along the pipeline provides a synchronized clock control signal to a respective CPU which, in turn, generates a switched relay control signal to a relay of the cathodic protection rectifier. Accordingly, the relays of all of the cathodic protection rectifiers can be simultaneously energized and de-energized during successive time periods so that all of the cathodic protection rectifiers can be turned on and off at the same time as may be required to compile ground voltage readings along the pipeline as part of a government-mandated survey.

Aspects of a method and system for classifying Bluetooth channels using a wideband receiver are provided.

The shifted frequency components may be swept or stepped over a range and passive elements in the tag encode a tag ID by selecting specific frequencies to be backscattered. A manually operated switch may couple an antenna to the transponder to allow battery free control.

Various methods for wireless communication in a device with co-existed/co-located radios are provided. Multiple communication radio transceivers are co-existed/co-located in a user equipment (UE) having in-device coexistence (IDC) capability, which may result in IDC interference. For example, the UE is equipped with both LTE radio and some ISM band applications such as WiFi and Bluetooth modules. In a first method, the network identifies IDC capability by UE identification (e.g., UE ID). In a second method, the UE intentionally performs cell selection or reselection to cells in non-ISM frequency bands. In a third method, the UE signals the existence of ISM band applications via capability negotiation. In a fourth method, the UE signals the activation of ISM band applications by signaling messages (e.g., RRC message or MAC CE). Under the various methods, the UE and its serving eNB can apply FDM or TDM solutions to mitigate the IDC interference.

An automatic pulse detector compares a radar video pulse to a delayed and amplified version of itself. The radar video pulse serves as an amplitude reference for a comparator. A delayed and amplified version of the same pulse serves as the pulse to be detected. Time of detection is amplitude independent and is not degraded by flat-topped pulses. Pulse detection occurs at a fixed, fractional point on the leading edge of a pulse where noise has less temporal influence than at the top of a pulse. Unlike a time-of-peak detector, the self-referencing pulse detector is well-suited to detecting wide, flat-topped pulses produced by expanded-time, pulse-echo radars operating in relatively narrow ISM bands.

The systems and methods disclosed by the invention are suitable for testing the sensitivity of the wireless communication products in the ISM frequency band.
