    摘要: Methods and apparatus for reducing high-frequency events in polar domain signals. An exemplary method includes first generating an unmodified rectangular-coordinate signal having in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) components that are modulated according to a predetermined modulation scheme. Next a first sample of the unmodified rectangular-coordinate signal is modified based on how close the first sample is to the origin in the complex signal plane and how fast a signal trajectory between the first sample and a subsequent sample changes. Finally, the modified rectangular-coordinate signal is converted to a polar domain signal having amplitude and phase components. By modifying the first sample in this manner, either or both the amplitude and phase components have reduced high-frequency content compared to a polar domain signal that would be generated without the first sample having been first modified.

    摘要: The disclosure provides an effective means for fine-resolution determination of the frequency content of an RF signal using low speed digital circuits. The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for decomposing a high frequency RF signal into several low frequency signals or data streams without loss of any information and without the use of extraneous circuit components such as local oscillators, mixers or offset phase-locked loops. Single or multiple phase oscillator outputs are fed directly to a single or multiple direct RF frequency-to-digital (DrfDC) circuits. The front end of the DrfDC circuit decomposes a high frequency signal into several low frequency signals without loss of any information. The low frequency signals are processed by the back-end of the DrfDC and converted into digital data streams. The digital data streams are then combined and averaged to represent the frequency of the input RF signal.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for optimizing pulses provided by a pulse-shaping filter implemented in hardware. Pulses are optimized and generated by the pulse-shaping filter that are of finite length and meet one or more signal quality criteria, e.g., error vector magnitude (EVM) and/or adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR). According to one exemplary embodiment, a first finite length constraint is identified and a second out-of-band power criterion is identified. An error function is defined which measures the distortion of the generated signal relative to a reference pulse modeled after an ‘ideal’ pulse. The error function is minimized to determine optimized pulses, which when used to pulse-shape a communications signal, do not substantially increase in-channel distortion of said communications signal. To avoid the generation of excessive out-of-channel power, minimization is performed subject to a predetermined maximum allowable out-of-channel power condition.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for conditioning low-magnitude events in electrical signals. According to an exemplary method, a low-magnitude event occurring in a signal trajectory of a received electrical signal is analyzed. The low-magnitude event is defined by a data point on a signal trajectory having a magnitude that is less than a predetermined signal magnitude minimum. A correction impulse having a correction magnitude and a correction phase is generated based on the magnitude and phase of data points on the signal trajectory that occur prior to and after the occurrence of the low magnitude event. The correction impulse is combined with the original electrical signal in the temporal vicinity of the low-magnitude event, thereby generating a corrected electrical signal having a more controlled bandwidth.

    摘要: A modulation system includes an amplitude modulation path and a phase modulation path coupled to the amplitude modulation path. One of the amplitude modulation path and the phase modulation path receive a reduced current such that the reduced current reduces power consumption by the system. Preferably, the amplitude modulation path receives the reduced current. The amplitude modulation path has a first set of components and a second set of components. The first set of components consumes less power by using slower operation. The second set of components consumes less power by effectively not operating, or being turned off.

    摘要: A device for transmitting information in a communications signal is envisioned. The information is modulated, at least in part, with a first angle-related characteristic. The device has a digital conversion circuit operable to convert information to be broadcast into a digital form. A constellation mapper is coupled to the digital conversion circuit, and is operable to convert the digital information into information associated with a constellation. A trajectory generation circuit generates samples denoting a trajectory within the constellation for the information. A transition analysis circuit determines a change in value of an angle-related characteristic in a transition between two samples, and a threshold detection circuit detects whether the change in value fails to meet a particular threshold. An angle-related characteristic distribution circuit can then distribute a portion of the change in value associated with the transition to at least one other transition.

    摘要: The signal-to-noise ratio for a digital conversion circuit is improved by taking a source signal and generating N signals that are each phase-shifted relative to each other, thereby generating N phase-shifted signals. Each of the N signals has a frequency that is a fraction of a frequency of the source signal. The source signal is input to a dividing circuit to generate the N signals. The source signal is generated by a signal source, such as an oscillator. Each of the N signals is hard-limited and processed through a detection circuit. The detection circuit can be a frequency detection circuit configured to determine the frequency of the source signal and to output a corresponding digital word, or a phase detection circuit configured to determine a phase of the source signal and to output a corresponding digital word.
