ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,363,662, issued on July 15, was assigned to Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Frame synchronization detection with fractional approximation" was invented by Claudio Rey (Chandler, Ariz.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A wireless device includes a receiver to receive a packet via one or more antennas. A frame synchronization detection circuit coupled to the receiver identifies a frame synchronization pattern within a portion of the packet. A correlation circuit coupled to the frame synchronization detection circuit computes one or more values of a correlation peak using a correlation method. A fractional timing approximation...
