    摘要: A waveform synthesis technique for radio frequency identification (RFID) transmitters and an RFID system making us of the technique are disclosed. The RFID transmitter in example embodiments synthesizes a continuous transmitter waveform from a symbol alphabet without Nyquist or interpolation filters. High spectral occupancy waveforms are achieved which include the ability to do both linear and nonlinear predistortion with no increase in computational load once the signal set has been adapted to compensate for linear and nonlinear distortion in the transmitter analog circuitry. A polarity generator can be used to impart the required polarity to each waveform. The RFID transmitter can be employed in RFID readers to reduce the computational requirements of the digital signal processor (DSP).

    摘要: Fiber, cable, and wireless data channels are typically impaired by reflectors and other imperfections, producing a channel state with echoes and frequency shifts in data waveforms. Here, methods of using OTFS pilot symbol waveform bursts to automatically produce a detailed 2D model of the channel state are presented. This 2D channel state can then be used to optimize data transmission. For wireless data channels, an even more detailed 2D model of channel state can be produced by using polarization and multiple antennas in the process. Once 2D channel states are known, the system turns imperfect data channels from a liability to an advantage by using channel imperfections to boost data transmission rates. The methods can be used to improve legacy data transmission modes in multiple types of media, and are particularly useful for producing new types of robust and high capacity wireless communications using non-legacy OTFS data transmission methods.

    摘要: According to certain aspects, the present invention improves upon the conventional TCAM scheme by allowing a traditional TCM scheme to be used while in RCM mode. In a RCM mode according to embodiments of the invention, the system uses traditional TCM+SNR margin (i.e. SNRM) with a receiver controlled bit allocation table (BAT) and tone ordering table (TOT). In a TCAM mode according to embodiments of the invention, the system uses uncoded hierarchical modulation similar to the modulation originally proposed for TCAM. According to certain aspects, the transmitter in RCM mode in embodiments of the invention can determine when line conditions require a switch to TCAM mode, and signal the transition to the receiver. Likewise, when in a TCAM mode according to embodiments of the invention, the receiver can request to switch back to RCM via a SRA mechanism, for example.

    摘要: The present disclosure, for example, relates to one or more techniques for linearizing a signal in a communications system. An input signal may be obtained at a beginning of a signal path of a radio frequency (RF) communication device. The RF communication device may estimate subsequent distortion of the input signal due to the signal path. The estimated distortion may include estimated phase distortion and estimated amplitude distortion of the input signal. The RF communication device may adjust phase and amplitude within the signal path to compensate for the estimated phase distortion and the estimated amplitude distortion to produce an adjusted signal. The phase within the signal path of the input signal may be adjusted separately from the amplitude within the signal path of the input signal. The RF communication device may generate a linearized signal at an end of the signal path based at least in part on the adjusted signal.

    摘要: A direct conversion wireless transmitter includes IQ mismatch pre-compensation using direct learning adaptation to adjust IQ pre-compensation filtering. Widely-linear IQ_mismatch pre-compensation filtering compensates for IQ mismatch in the TX analog chain, filtering of input data x(n) to provide pre-compensated data y(n) with a compensation image designed to interfere destructively with the IQ_mismatch image. A feedback receiver FBRX captures feedback data z(n) used for direct learning adaptation. DL adaptation adjusts IQ_mismatch filters, modeled as an x(n)_direct and complex conjugate x(n)_image transfer functions w1 and w2, including generating an adaptation error signal based on a difference between TX/FBRX-path delayed versions of x(n) and z(n), and can include estimation and compensation for TX/FBRX phase errors. DL adaptation adjusts the IQ pre-comp filters w1/w2 to minimize the adaptation error signal. Similar modeling can be used for IQ mismatch. The IQ_mismatch pre-compensator can be implemented as a combination of digital signal processing and hardware acceleration.
