A card detector configured to be communicatively coupled to a card reader comprises: a first comparator configured to output periodically a first comparison result by comparing a voltage for a device under test with a first reference; a second comparator outputs periodically a second comparison result by comparing a second reference voltage with the first reference voltage, wherein the second reference voltage is adjustable; a decision circuit communicatively coupled to both the first comparator and the second comparator, and decides whether a card is in proximity to the card detector by comparing the time delay relationship between the first comparison result and the second comparison result respectively at a first time point and a second time point different from the first time point, and further wakes up the card reader if the decision circuit decides that the card is in proximity to the card detector.

Card detector and method of card detection

A Bluetooth receiver comprises a RF front end configured to receive a Bluetooth signal including a preamble and 34-bit pseudo-number (PN); a DC estimator communicatively coupled to the RF front end; and a frame synchronizer communicatively coupled to the DC estimator. The DC estimator is configured to perform DC offset estimation by determining an average value of samples of the preamble and the frame synchronizer is configured to use the 34-bit PN for frame synchronization.
