Application: Correlating simulated signal and satellite downlink signal (Patent ID: US20240171661A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft Corp. describes a computing system that includes a processor capable of receiving packet preamble binary data and packet header binary data associated with a satellite. The processor generates a simulated signal encoding this data and receives a satellite downlink signal. Within sample intervals of the downlink signal, the processor computes correlations with the simulated signal to select an identified sample interval and decode binary satellite signal data. The system also includes methods for selecting sample intervals based on correlation thresholds, frequency deviations, and false positive rates, as well as determining starting locations and interval sizes based on packet size data.
The claims associated with the patent detail the specific functionalities and configurations of the computing system and methods described in the abstract. These include selecting sample intervals based on correlation thresholds and frequency deviations, decoding additional binary satellite signal data from spaced-apart sample intervals, adjusting correlation thresholds based on sample correlations, and determining starting locations for decoding based on candidate decoded preambles. The patent also covers the generation of a simulated signal encoding satellite-specific packet metadata and the decoding of binary satellite signal data based on identified starting locations within sample intervals.
