摘要: Methods for determining calibration parameters to correct for frequency responses of one or more dielectric waveguides coupling a control unit to a first antenna node or to a series of antenna nodes that includes the first antenna node. An example method comprises transmitting, via a first dielectric waveguide coupling the control unit to the first antenna node, a radiofrequency (RF) test signal having a signal bandwidth covering a bandwidth of interest. The method further comprises receiving, via a second dielectric waveguide coupling the control unit to the first antenna node, a looped-back version of the transmitted RF test signal, and estimating a first one-way frequency response corresponding to the first (or second) dielectric waveguide, based on the RF test signal and the received loop-back version of the transmitted RF test signal.

摘要: An electronic device may include a harmonic rejection mixer with a delay line, mixer array, and load. The delay line may generate LO phases. Each mixer in the array may have a first input that receives an LO phase and a second input coupled to an input switch and the first input of the next mixer circuit through an inter-mixer switch. The load may include a set of switches. In a transmit mode, the input switches and set of switches may be closed while the inter-mixer switches are open. In a self-calibration mode, the input switches and set of switches may be open while the inter-mixer switches are closed. A controller may sweep through phase codes for the programmable delay line while storing a digital output from the load. The controller may calibrate the phase code based on the digital output.

摘要: A millimeter-wave phase array system may include massive heterodyne transceivers as its building elements. A transceiver of each element may include an IQ image rejection heterodyne transmitter and a receiver. Each transmitter may include a single DAC, a Tx I channel, and a Tx Q channel. Each receiver may include an Rx I channel, an Rx Q channel, and a single ADC. For Tx IQ image rejection calibration, amplitude and phase offsets are determined, using both the Tx I and Tx Q channels from a first element and using only one of the Rx I or Rx Q channel from a second element. The IQ channel imbalances are compensated using the offsets in analog domain. A similar procedure is used for Rx IQ image rejection calibration with alternated signal path enabling. A frequency response variation of an RF front end is detected with a single path Tx/Rx channel setup.

摘要: A receiving apparatus includes: M receivers configured to receive signals based on sound waves propagating in water; M FIR filters configured to perform waveform operation on the signals received by the receivers; a combiner configured to combine output signals of the M FIR filters; and a filter coefficient calculation portion configured to calculate a tap coefficient of the M FIR filters so as to reduce an error of the output signals combined by the combiner. The M FIR filters have a tap length that is shorter than a delay spread that is a possible range between a time of arrival of a direct wave and a time of arrival of a delayed wave of the sound waves.

摘要: A processing system may determine a plurality of input features of a first machine learning model that is deployed in a telecommunication network for a prediction task associated with an operation of the telecommunication network and apply a time series forecast model to a historical data set of a first data source associated with at least one of the plurality of input features to generate a forecast upper bound of a first characteristic of the first data source for a first time period and a forecast lower bound of the first characteristic of the first data source for the first time period. The processing system may then detect that the first characteristic exceeds one of the forecast upper bound or the forecast lower bound during the first time period and generate an alert that an output of the first machine learning model may be faulty, in response to the detecting.
