The Patent I am referring to is at this link that I posted in the message before:

164.195.100.11.

It is a joint patent issued July 11, 2000 to Analog Devices and Aware.

I thought it was a coincidence that the ST Microelectronics press release specifically mentions AM interference issues and a patented approach a few weeks after Aware's patent is granted that deals specifically with noise issues like:

A twisted pair used for digital subscriber loops is a particularly severe example of such a channel, where non-stationary noise sources such as narrowband interference (induced by AM radio, amateur radio) and periodic impulse noise (e.g., due to light dimmers) can also be a problem. To achieve the desired performance, powerful signal processing techniques are required to recover the data. Two particular techniques that have found widespread use is decision feedback equalization and forward error correction (FEC).


ST has licensed Aware's G.Lite technology. If they licensed it then I would assume that any G.Lite specific solution would be based on Aware's IP. I just think it is too big of a coincidence.

If these chips are based on Aware, I don't think we will see any revenues from it until 2001. If they are not based on Aware, we still get the benefit of the possible G.Lite patent pending and the royalties that might come from it.
