1. A wireless apparatus for determining a phase difference of a received RF signal, comprising:
- first and second antennas displaced from each other by a predetermined distance for receiving an RF signal;
an exclusive OR (EXOR) circuit comparing two binary signals derived from the received RF signal that are associated with said first and second antennas respectively, wherein an absolute phase difference is based on a pulse width of the comparison; and
a processor for detecting source identification included in said received RF signal.

Abstract
A wireless apparatus for determining a phase difference of a received RF signal, and method. The apparatus includes antennas displaced from each other by a predetermined distance for receiving an RF signal. The apparatus also includes an exclusive OR (EXOR) circuit comparing binary signals derived from the received RF signal that are associated with respective antennas. An absolute phase difference is based on a pulse width of the comparison.
