摘要:
A method for controlling peak-to-average power ratio prior to amplification by a power amplifier is provided. The peak sample of a signal is predicted, window length is adjusted based on the peak width around the peak sample or subcarriers used to transmit the signal, and the window is subsequently used to clip the samples. A peak suppression window may be applied prior to predicting the peak sample when a set number of samples exceed a predetermined threshold. Window clipping may be deactivated if interference and throughput of the power amplifier is detrimentally affected. A pulse shaping filter may be optimized based on the window clipping to control transmitted signal characteristics. Various thresholds used in the prediction may be initially based on system design and power amplifier linearity and then dynamically adjusted based on an estimation of active subcarriers or of interferers present in the communication system.

A channel scanning technique and apparatus provides audio hole suppression in two-way radio communications. Upon detecting the absence of a carrier signal on a priority channel during a priority scan mode of operation, a training waveform is constructed upon returning to the home-channel. The training waveform is applied to audio shaping filters within an audio lineup to suppress transients and minimize or eliminate the occurrence of audio pops at a speaker output thereby reducing the audio hole.

A communication system comprises a direct conversion receiver for correcting imbalance errors. The direct conversion receiver receives a radio frequency (RF) signal and converts the RF signal to baseband signals. The direct conversion receiver further translates the baseband signals to digital signals having a direct current (DC) offset and applies a DC offset correction to the digital signals having the DC offset to generate first DC offset corrected signals. An imbalance correction unit of the direct conversion receiver applies an imbalance correction to the first DC offset corrected signals by estimating an error between an average envelope of the first DC offset corrected signals and an average envelope of second DC offset corrected signals. The imbalance correction unit is fixed at initial imbalance parameter values. The direct conversion receiver further updates the initial imbalance parameter values of the imbalance correction unit based on the estimated error for correcting imbalance errors.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for correcting direct current (DC) offset errors of a received signal in a direct conversion receiver (DCR) are provided. DC offset correction algorithms are incorporated into the DCR, each algorithm being optimized for a particular receive signal operating environment. The DC offset correction algorithms remove DC offset errors in baseband In-phase and Quadrature-phase signals received within the direct conversion receiver baseband signal path. Individual DC offset correction algorithms are selected for use as determined by a signal quality estimator component. A DC offset correction component of the direct conversion receiver determines an appropriate DC offset correction algorithm suited for a particular operating environment. A criterion for a signal quality estimate is set to control transitioning between DCOC algorithms. A dual threshold strategy may be adopted to transition between one DC offset correction algorithm and another DC offset correction algorithm to provide hysteresis.
