A camera may include an image sensor configured to capture and measure light of a scene to be imaged. Control circuitry may be configured to control the image sensor to measure instances of the light captured in main exposure windows interspersed with test exposure windows. Timing of the main exposure windows may be adjusted based on luminance levels captured during the test exposure windows, for synchronization with a flickering waveform of the light.

Image capture with anti-flicker synchronization

A method for compensating for gain changes of an N-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-N) modulated signal. The method comprises comparing the PAM-N modulated signal to N&#x2212;1 configurable thresholds, wherein the input PAM-N modulated signal is also equalized and the N&#x2212;1 configurable thresholds are N&#x2212;1 different voltage levels; tracking gain changes in the input PAM-N modulated signal by comparing the input PAM-N modulated signal to a compensation threshold; and adjusting a level of the at least one of the N&#x2212;1 configurable thresholds of the N&#x2212;1 comparators based on an output of the compensation comparator, thereby offsetting a crossing point of the at least one comparator respective of the at least one of the N&#x2212;1 configurable thresholds to compensate for gain changes in the input PAM-N modulated signal.

A diversity transmission scheme uses a number of antennas that is greater than the limitation of two transmitting antennas in the well-known Alamouti scheme. In an embodiment comprising four antennas, the antennas transmit in pairs such that each antenna transmits a block that is used in the Alamouti scheme. This increases the transmission rate. For example, the transmission of two signals at a given time slot increases transmission rate by a factor of two. The invention not only increases the number of antennas, but also increases the transmission rate. At the receiver end, the code is decoded without matrix inversion and without much noise enhancement. Moreover, noise enhancement stability is increased by a simple, partial interference cancellation scheme, that results in improved decoding performance.
