Abstract
The current invention is a method (100), super-regenerative transceiver (300), and computer system (500) for providing short range communication with reduced current drain. A control unit provides an amplifier 'ON' pulse periodically to a radio frequency amplifier to allow reduced current drain. The radio frequency amplifier eliminates antenna effects in an input signal to provide an amplified input signal. The control unit also provides a receiver 'ON' pulse to a super-regenerative receiver immediately following the amplifier 'ON' pulse to allow reduced current drain. The super-regenerative receiver detects received data given the amplified input signal.
