RECEPTION OF SIGNALS FOR RANGING, TIMING, AND DATA TRANSFER

Abstract:

A device is disclosed. In one or more examples, the device may include an antenna to receive a signal encoding timing information for one or more of positioning, navigation, and timing. The signal may include a pulse group comprising a number of ranging pulses and a number of data pulses subsequent to the number of ranging pulses. Respective ones of the number of data pulses may have a phase of either a positive-going phase or a negative-going phase. Data may be encoded using the either positive-going phases or negative-going phases of the data pulses. The device may include a processor to decode the data at least partially responsive to the phases of the respective ones of the number of data pulses.
