Qarnot Computing. Technology. BlinkSight’s innovative system solution uses the ultra-low power ‘impulse-radio’ (IR) technology and delivers real-time 3D location information accurate to within 10 cm.
The device combines digital processing elements and sophisticated analog radio functionality in a single chip, enabling superior performance at a low cost of ownership. It can operate in both the 3-1-4.8 GHz and the 6-10 GHz UWB bands for use around the world and seamless co-existence with other wireless technologies. Moreover, with an operating voltage range of 1.5 to 3.6 V, the new device is ideal for battery-powered applications.
Together with its small form factor and low power consumption, this makes it suitable for integration into tags, wireless sensors, base stations and mobile devices. A base station equipped with BlinkSight’s technology could track and trace thousands of fast moving tags in real time. The Blinksight solution is easy to install and use.

Beginner-level tutorials¶ Note that even as a GNU Radio beginner, you'll be delving into the realm of software defined radio, which is a complex field.
Rtl-sdr – OsmoSDR. DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U can be used as a cheap SDR, since the chip allows transferring the raw I/Q samples to the host, which is officially used for DAB/DAB+/FM demodulation. Watching planes with software-defined radio. In this post we look at how USB DVB-T hardware can be used with software-defined radio (SDR) to create a low cost aviation Mode S receiver.
Modern aircraft are fitted with “Mode S” transponders that can be interrogated by air traffic control radar in order to ascertain their position and heading. Hobbyist equipment for receiving these transmissions has been available for some time and typically costs hundreds of pounds. But it's now possible to re-purpose DVB-T hardware costing around £20 to create an SDR-based receiver. gr-air-modes The SDR is constructed using the GNU Radio framework and details of how to configure this and the DVB-T hardware used can be found in a previous post.

Design And Reuse Search IP IP Based SoC News Industry Articles Blogs Videos Login Join Latest Articles Most Popular Articles Browse Articles by Category SoC News Alerts Twitter MIPI™ MPHY - An introduction With the explosion of mobile platform devices, and the increased functionality in each of these devices, data rates between peripherals have seen exponential growth. The Application processor which processes this data and communicates with the various functions needs a high bandwidth pipe to handle the increased data throughput requirements. Recognizing this, the MIPI alliance has been defining standards for these serial interfaces.
The most successful usage of the DPHY has been in the Camera to Application Processor (CSI) and Application processor to Display (DSI) pipes. As the bandwidth requirement increases, multiple D-PHY lanes would be required which increases the system cost. Apart from the HS mode, the MPHY also defines 2 types of mutually exclusive Low Speed modes. HS Gear RATE A (MHz) Specification Numbering. All 3GPP specifications have a specification number consisting of 4 or 5 digits.
(e.g. 09.02 or 29.002). The first two digits define the series, followed by 2 further digits for the 01 to 13 series or 3 further digits for the 21 to 55 series. The full title, specification number and latest version number for every specification can be found in the current status list (warning: large file!). An automated list of Specification numbers - with the Title and details of the Specification Group responsible. Note (1): The 13 series GSM specifications relate to European-Union-specific regulatory standards. Note (2): The specifications of these aspects are spread throughout several series. Note (3): Algorithms may be subject to export licensing conditions. Note (4): The original GSM algorithms are not published and are controlled by the GSM Association.
Technical Reports are of two classes: The first category have numbers of the form: xx.9xx SM[-P[-Q]]-V.zip. AT Commands. AT Commands AT Commands (or Hayes commands) allow a user to communicate directly with a modem.
Compared to using GUI-based software (eg. from the manufacturer or service provider) AT Commands are more complex but also allow for a wider range of settings control. For GSM/UMTS/HSPA modems, 3GPP specifies a command set: To connect to your modem with HyperTerminal or PUTTY in Windows, use the following: Userver.ftw.at/~cfm/389039/lecture09/measurements.pdf.
