    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a distributed processing system for configuring multiple processing channels. The distributed processing system includes a main processor, such as an ARM processor, communicatively coupled to a plurality of co-processors, such as stream processors. The co-processors can execute instructions in parallel with each other and interrupt the ARM processor. Longer latency instructions can be executed by the main processor and lower latency instructions can be executed by the co-processors. There are several ways that a stream can be triggered in the distributed processing system. In an embodiment, the distributed processing system is a stream processor system that includes an ARM processor and stream processors configured to access different register sets. The stream processors can include a main stream processor and stream processors in respective transmit and receive channels. The stream processor system can be implemented in a radio system to configure the radio for operation.

    Abstract: A system and method provide for calibrating the frequency response of an electronic filter. The system and method include a radio transmitter with both in-phase and quadrature baseband paths. Each baseband path includes a numerically controlled oscillator (“NCO”), a digital signal path, a digital-to-analog converter (“DAC”), and an analog filter. A low frequency tone is applied from the NCO from one of the baseband path, while a high frequency tone is applied from the NCO in the other baseband path. An analog peak detector at output determines which analog filter has the largest amplitude at the output. The peak detector offset between the two analog filters is offset by stimulating the in-phase and quadrature baseband paths with the respective NCOs to find an amplitude difference between the output signals from the NCOs that makes the output of the analog filters the same. Calibration is then performed on the corner frequency and filter peaking through respective stimulation of the in-phase and quadrature baseband paths. The system and method is advantageous as it allows for very accurate calibration of both the filter corner frequency and peaking during a standard transmission operating mode with little additional hardware required.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for facilitating data movement among circuit blocks are disclosed. In certain embodiments, dataflow gaskets with circular buffers are deployed in any number or arrangement to achieve efficient on-chip data movement among different circuit blocks of the die. Each dataflow gasket can be attached to a corresponding circuit block using tightly coupled memories to provide low latency and fast access to incoming and outgoing data streams. Furthermore, memory allocation and buffer management can be handled by the internal logic in the dataflow gasket to reduce or eliminate software development efforts. For example, the dataflow gasket can use circular buffers to allow the circuit block to access the dataflow gasket's memories without needing to understand the internal memory addressing of the dataflow gasket.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for pre-distorting a radio frequency transmit signal based on local oscillator clock shaping are disclosed. In certain embodiments, one or more clock signals generated by a local oscillator and used for mixing in a transceiver are shaped to account for non-linearity of a power amplifier that amplifies the radio frequency transmit signal. Such pre-distortion can be performed in addition to or alternatively to performing digital pre-distortion on a digital representation of the radio frequency transmit signal.

    Abstract: Devices exchange control signals with each other to ensure proper operation of an overall system. For instance, in a communication system, a baseband processor and a transceiver communicate with each other to exchange information for controlling the respective signal processing parts of the baseband processor and the transceiver. While Serial Peripheral Interfaces (SPIs) can be used, SPI can be extremely slow, and does not provide a protocol for allowing a complex set of control signals to be exchanged between the baseband processor and transceiver. The present disclosure describes a fast control interface which can support various modes of operation in allowing two devices to communicate with each other quickly and effectively.
