Abstract:
An embodiment of an amplifier circuit comprising a succession of amplification stages having at least a first amplification stage receiving a first signal and a second amplification stage downstream of the first amplification stage; a stage of unity gain capable of receiving the first signal and of providing a second signal corresponding to the low-impedance copy of the first signal; and a third amplification stage having its input connected to the output of the stage of unity gain by a capacitor and having its output connected to the output of the second amplification stage.
Abstract:
A method is provided for initiating communications over a channel between a transmitter and a receiver within a specified spectral range, subject to a mask to be applied at the transmitter so as to attenuate at least one segment of the spectral range. The method includes providing to the receiver a definition of the at least one segment and of a level of attenuation to be applied within the at least one segment during a training interval of the communications. A training signal is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver while applying to the training signal the level of attenuation within the at least one segment. The receiver compensates for a response of the channel based on the received training signal and on the definition of the at least one segment and of the level of attenuation.
Abstract:
Improved radio frequency (RF) envelope tracking apparatus for use in wireless and wired systems. In one exemplary embodiment, a transmitter upconversion stage receives input digital I and Q values, the output of the upconversion stage being fed to both an envelope tracking circuit and a power amplifier (before or after optional filtering). The envelope tracking circuit controls the operation of a power modulator, which adjusts the power amplifier. The envelope tracking circuit is specifically configured to provide improved linearity and power efficiency. The envelope tracking apparatus and methods of the present invention may be applied to heterodyne/super-heterodyne architectures as well as others.
Abstract:
To control a decoding latency, larger blocks are nonequally segmented into smaller ones. The decoding process starts directly after reception of the first small block. The latency is defined by the latency of the last small block decoding. Changing the number of iterations during the turbo-code decoding also permits control of the decoding latency.

The method and device include the generation of two output signals (IRF, QRF) in phase quadrature, having a frequency spectrum including a dominant harmonic at a wanted frequency FC. The generation of a periodic basic signal (VP) having a frequency FOSC equal to the product of R and the desired frequency FC is included, R being a non-integer rational number greater than one and equal to a ratio p/q, in which p is an integer multiple of 4 and q an odd integer. Also included is a processing of the basic signal including, for example, at least a preprocessing having a frequency division by p with elimination of the even harmonics and a frequency multiplication by q.

Abstract:
A power amplification device includes an input for receiving a signal having a desired frequency band. The signal also has a transfer function associated therewith. The power amplification device further includes power amplification circuitry having an order greater than or equal to one, and signal amplifiers connected between the input and the power amplification circuitry. Each signal amplifier has a predetermined gain so that zeros of the transfer function are outside the desired frequency band.
Abstract:
A process for estimating a speed of movement of a mobile terminal operating in a wireless communication system and communicating with a base station via a transmission channel includes estimating fading of the transmission channel, and performing an autocorrelation on the fading for providing a first autocorrelation result. Reference autocorrelation results are calculated for predetermined values of speed of movement of the mobile terminal, with the calculating being based upon a known autocorrelation function performed on the fading. The process further includes comparing the first autocorrelation result to the various reference autocorrelation results, and estimating the speed of movement of the mobile terminal based upon the comparison.
Abstract:
A device includes a receiver including an estimation block for estimating the impulse response of the transmission channel and a transformation block. The transformation block may include a preprocessing block for determining a phase minimum transformed impulse response corresponding to a transformed channel based upon the estimated impulse response of the transmission channel, and a filter for filtering the signal received. This makes it possible to retain equality between the autocorrelation of the signal received and the autocorrelation of the filtered signal. Further, the receiver may include an equalizer for applying an equalization processing operation to the filtered signal while taking account of the transformed impulse response.
Abstract:
A VDSL-modem which is divided into an analog part which is placed in an optical node and a digital part which is placed in a local station. The analog part of the VDSL-modem includes an A/D-converter and D/A-converter, a filter, an amplifier, a hybrid/balun, an adaptive noise attenuator, an optical interface, and possibly an echo canceller. The digital part of the modem includes an FFT/IFFT-processor, a synchronizer, an equalizer, an interleaving unit, an error correction unit, a protocol manager, and an optical interface. The VDSL-modem simplifies synchronization of the modem and reduces power consumption in the optical node. A multiplexor function in the optical node in addition is simpler because it need not manage a protocol.
