Title: Olivier Rousseaux: UWB Receiver Synchronization Inventor

Introduction

Olivier Rousseaux is an inventor based in Sint-Joost-ten-Node, Belgium, and is associated with imec Vzw. His work includes an invention focused on fast, low-power synchronization for ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse-radio receivers.

Latest Patents

Rousseaux is credited with 1 patent: “Methods for Fast and Low-Power UWB IR Baseband Receiver Synchronization.” The invention describes methods for synchronizing a device with a signal made up of repeated pulses encoding a predetermined code. It addresses the search for pulse position and code phase through three approaches: adjusting the number of samples per pulse frame according to the available code repetitions, retaining useful information from signal detection and confirmation for a later stage, and checking a limited set of rotated code versions using a presumed code phase carried forward from an earlier stage.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects work on reducing the time and power required for synchronization in UWB impulse-radio baseband receivers. The supplied information identifies Rousseaux’s association with imec Vzw but does not provide further details about his role or career history.

Collaborations

Li Huang and Mladen Berekovic are identified as Rousseaux’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or the extent of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Olivier Rousseaux’s recorded patent contribution addresses efficient synchronization in UWB impulse-radio receivers, with a focus on balancing search speed, available signal repetitions, and power use.
