Abstract:
The disclosure provides a circuit. The circuit includes an IFFT (inverse fast fourier transform) block. The IFFT block generates a modulated signal in response to a data signal. A clip logic block is coupled to the IFFT block, and generates a clipped signal in response to the modulated signal. A first subtractor is coupled to the clip logic block and the IFFT block, and subtracts the modulated signal from the clipped signal to generate an error signal. A cyclic filter is coupled to the first subtractor, and filters the error signal to generate a filtered error signal. A second subtractor is coupled to the cyclic filter and the IFFT block. The second subtractor subtracts the filtered error signal from the modulated signal to generate a processed signal.

Abstract:
A digital circuit includes at least one input node, a biasing circuit, and a digital baseband circuit. The input node receives a digital signal including samples at a plurality of sample instances, the samples including a positive sample and a negative sample and represented by first plurality of bits. The biasing circuit generates a biased digital signal by adding a bias value to the digital signal so as to change the positive sample and the negative sample to first sample and second sample respectively and represented by second plurality of bits. The digital baseband circuit is configured to receive and process the biased digital signal such that reduced current consumption is realized based on a number of bit toggles in the second plurality of bits being less than a number of bit toggles in the first plurality of bits.
Abstract:
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the relative attitude between an inertial measurement unit (IMU), present on a mobile device, and the frame of reference of the vehicle carrying mobile device is estimated. The estimated relative attitude is used to translate the IMU measurement to the vehicle frame of reference to determine the velocity and position of the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle position and velocity are determined accurately in the event of undocking and re-docking of the mobile device from a docking system in the vehicle. The relative attitude is estimated in terms of pitch, roll, and yaw angles.

A circuit includes a noise generator and a delay element. The output of the noise generator couples to the input of the delay element. The output of the delay element is coupled to a first input of a logic circuit, and the output of the noise generator is coupled to a second input of the logic circuit. The output of the logic circuit is coupled to a first control input of a waveform storage circuit. The waveform storage circuit is configured to produce a first digital waveform on its output responsive to a first logic state on the output of the logic circuit and to produce a second digital waveform on its output responsive to a second logic state on the output of the logic circuit. A sequencer has a sequencer output coupled to the second control input of the waveform storage circuit.
Abstract:
A radio-frequency (RF) sampling transmitter (e.g., of the type that may be used in 5G wireless base stations) includes a complex baseband digital-to-analog converter (DAC) response compensator that operates on a complex baseband signal at a sampling rate lower than the sampling rate of an RF sampling DAC in the RF sampling transmitter. The DAC response compensator flattens the sample-and-hold response of the RF sampling DAC only in the passband of interest, addressing the problem of a sin c response introduced by the sample-and-hold operation of the RF sampling DAC and avoiding the architectural complexity and high power consumption of an inverse sin c filter that operates on the signal at a point in the signal chain after it has already been up-converted to an RF passband.

The CSD multipliers may be MC-CSD multipliers.
Abstract:
IQ mismatch correction for analog chain IQ mismatch impairments is based on a two-filter architecture. In either RX or TX, an IQmc mismatch corrector (digital chain) filters I and Q digital signals, and includes an I-path to receive the I signal, and a Q-path to receive the Q signal, and is configured with two filters: an in-path filter to filter either the I signal or the Q signal received in the same path; and a cross-path filter to filter either the I signal or the Q signal received in the other path. The IQmc mismatch corrector can include: an I-path delay element to provide a delay to the I signal corresponding to a delay through either the in-path filter or the cross-path filter; and a Q-path delay element to provide a delay to the Q signal corresponding to a delay through either the in-path filter or the cross-path filter.
