An Asymmetrical Wireless Communication Transceiver
BackgroundExisting solutions for short range wireless communications between a host device and a number of user devices (or sensor nodes) are characterized by the symmetrical designs of their transceiver capabilities. The digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms necessary for channel equalization, compensation and synchronization require a substantial...
