Receiving portion of radio communication device

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A receiving portion of a radio communication device includes a circuit periodically moving into a sleep mode of operation. The circuit periodically moves out of the sleep mode of operation in response to a re-activation signal. A first clock signal is generated. Clock pulses in the first clock signal are counted. The re-activation signal is generated each time the number of the counted clock pulses in the first clock signal reaches an updatable number. A second clock signal is generated which has a frequency higher than a frequency of the first clock signal. Clock pulses in the second clock signal are counted during every time interval determined by the first clock signal. An error of the …
