    Abstract: A pulse width modulation controller (PWM) is disclosed which has a MOSFET (15) responsive to the error voltage (Verror) signal from the PWM amplifier (17) to detect a transient condition without delay ∆Td. The MOSFET drain generates and applies a detection signal (S) to a delaying circuit (D). The delaying circuit (D) is responsive to the transient detection signal (S) to asynchronously output two latch signals (S1) and (S2) which on application to respective latch circuits (L1, L2) cause a change in conduction state of PMOS (8) and NMOS (9). This arrangement reduces voltage undershoot.

    Abstract: A built-in receiver self-test system provides on-chip testing with minimal change to the receiver footprint. The system digitally generates a two-tone test signal, and tests the nonlinearities of the receiver using the generated two-tone test signal. To that end, the self-test system comprises a stimulus generator, a downconverter, and a demodulator, all of which are disposed on a common receiver chip. The stimulus generator generates a test signal comprising first and second tones at respective first and second frequencies, where the first and second frequencies are spaced by an offset frequency, and where the first frequency comprises a non-integer multiple of the offset frequency. The downcoverter downconverts the test signal to generate an In-phase component and a Quadrature component. The demodulator measures an amplitude of the intermodulation tone by demodulating the In-phase and Quadrature components based on a reference frequency.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for code activation, and a computer program and a storage medium thereof. A combined channel impulse response for each code is calculated based on a channelization code, a scrambling code and a channel impulse response corresponding to the code; a statistical result of the correlations between each interference code and all user codes is obtained; an active interference code number is determined; the determined number of interference codes, are activated, wherein a selection of which interference codes to activate is based on the statistical result. In some embodiments of this invention, the interference codes having a close correlation with the user codes may be selected to be activated, thereby the performance of joint detection is improved. In some embodiments of this invention, the complexity of the subsequent joint detection will be remarkably reduced on the premise of ensuring the performance of the joint detection.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, receiver, computer program and storage medium for joint detection are disclosed. The joint detection method includes categorizing interference signals based on level of interference so as to obtain a strong interference signal, cancelling the strong interference signal from a received signal, and performing a joint detection by utilizing a matched filtering result of a remaining signal. In one embodiment, it is to firstly determine whether a strong interference codes corresponding to an intra-frequency adjacent cell exists in an active code list or not, recovering a strong interference signal transmitted by a Node B if the strong interference codes exists, applying an interference cancellation to a received signal received by a receiver so as to obtain a matched filtering result of a remaining signal derived by subtracting the strong interference signal from the received signal, performing a joint detection by utilizing the matched filtering result of the remaining signal, and outputting a demodulated result. In at least one embodiment, the computation complexity of the joint detection is reduced, and the accuracy of the joint detection is improved.

    Abstract: A current-mode regulator relies on indirect current measurement to facilitate slope compensation used to stabilize the operation of a buck converter. The current-mode regulator comprises an inductor, a switching network, and a controller. The inductor delivers an output current to a load. The switching network selectively connects the inductor input to an input voltage or a second voltage. The regulator controls the switching network. An inner loop control circuit of the regulator comprises the switching network, a current measuring circuit, a slope circuit, a comparator, and a switching controller. The current measuring circuit comprises a passive network connected to the inductor input and operative to indicate an inductor current as a measurement voltage. The slope circuit applies a time-varying voltage having a positive slope to the measurement voltage. The comparator compares a slope compensated measurement voltage to the control voltage. The switching regulator controls the switching network in response to the output of the comparator.
