PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact low-cost and low-power radio frequency transceiver which has effective conflict resolution capability and fits in a housing with a dimension within the range of compact shape factor. SOLUTION: The transceiver has a direct conversion receiver, a voltage controlled oscillator, a phase locked loop circuit, a digitally controlled divider circuit, and a patch antenna for wireless communication between a computer and another device packaged into a compact enclosure. The transceiver enters a sleep mode in an idle state in order to further save power. A signature detector enables the transceiver to distinguish between noise and valid messages by recognizing a signature word embedded in the data packet. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
