Abstract:
A communications system is provided that includes a detector that has I/Q mismatch, a calibration circuit that estimating a phase and/or an amplitude mismatch of the detector, and a compensation circuit that uses the estimated phase and/or amplitude mismatch to mitigate the effects of the amplitude and/or phase mismatch. An IQ-modulated signal produced by the I/Q-modulator can be communicated over a loop back connection to the detector of the communication system. The calibration circuit can estimate the I/Q mismatch for the IQ-modulator and can provide the estimated values to a pre-compensation circuit. In one aspect, I/Q mismatch in the IQ-modulator of a communication system can be determined using a spectrum analyzer. Power measurements can be used to compute the amplitude mismatch and the phase mismatch of an IQ-modulator.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a key mixing circuit, an input circuit, and a decapsulation circuit. The key mixing circuit generates N Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) seeds, N≧1, each based on a predetermined temporal key, a transmitter MAC address, and a predetermined start value for a Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) Sequence Count (TSC). The input circuit receives a message including the transmitter MAC address and the predetermined start value. The key mixing circuit generates the N WEP seeds based on the message. The input circuit receives N encapsulated MAC Payload Data Units (MPDUs) each including the transmitter MAC address and one of N values for the TSC, greater than or equal to the predetermined start value. The decapsulation circuit decapsulates the N encapsulated MPDUs using one of the N WEP seeds generated based on the value for the TSC in the respective one of the N encapsulated MPDUs.
