    摘要: Various regulatory domains promulgate standards to define how wireless devices should operate in certain frequency bands. The 5 GHz spectrum is of particular importance to certain regulatory domains because of radar systems also operating in this spectrum. To avoid interference with such radar systems, wireless devices operating in this spectrum should be able to detect radar and quickly vacate any channels currently used by the radar systems. In a channel switching technique, if the new channel is radar-exempt, then normal operation commences on the new channel. If the new channel is non-radar-exempt, then normal operation commences on a temporary radar-exempt channel and an aggregate background scan can be performed on the new channel. If no radars are detected using the aggregate background scan, then operation is switched from the temporary radar-exempt channel to the new channel. This channel switching technique minimizes disruption to users during a radar event.

    摘要: A choke for reducing common mode signals in high frequency circuits. A microstrip transmission line includes a pair of conductors spaced above a ground plane conductor. In input and output regions the conductors are spaced relatively far apart from each other such that each conductor presents a characteristic impedance that is similar for common mode and for differential mode signals. Between the input and output regions the conductors are located much closes together such that they present different characteristic impedances to common mode and to differential mode signals so as to reflect the common mode signal but not the differential mode signal. In another version a hole in the ground plane beneath the conductors is partially occupied by a conductive island that is coupled to the ground plane through a resistance to absorb the common mode signal rather than reflecting it. Other versions are realized in a pair of parallel coaxial cables and in a coplanar transmission line.

    摘要: A system and method to provide antenna diversity by switching between antenna feeds to optimize signal quality. Antenna conditions are determined during an OFDM guard interval to minimize disruption of symbol transmission. When the signal quality assessment determines that an improved signal is available on an alternative antenna, an antenna change is performed to switch to the alternative antenna, also during a GI, again minimizing disruption in information transmission. Preferably, the process is continually applied, so that antenna conditions are monitored for changing conditions and the antenna experiencing the best signal is selected.

    摘要: A powerline network may comprise powerline communication (PLC) devices of a first class of PLC devices that are incompatible with PLC devices of a second class of PLC devices. This can result in interference between communications of the first and the second classes of PLC devices. A dual mode PLC device that is compatible with the first and the second classes of PLC devices can be implemented for coexistence with both classes of PLC devices. The dual mode PLC device can determine whether the powerline network comprises a combination of PLC devices of the first and the second classes of PLC devices. One of a plurality of packet headers that is compatible with both the classes of PLC devices can be selected for transmission in response to determining that the powerline network comprises a combination of PLC devices of the first and the second classes of PLC devices.

    摘要: In some wireless local area networks (WLANs), signals of different modulation types and rates can be received. To operate optimally, the gain of an amplifier in a receiver can be set based on a specific modulation type and rate. For example, the gain of a receive path amplifier can be changed based on one or more unique identifying characteristics in a received data packet. Once the unique identifying characteristics are located, they can be analyzed to determine which modulation type and rate are represented. The appropriate gain of the amplifier can be set based on the modulation type and rate. Advantageously, subsequent data symbols can be amplified with the set gain, thereby ensuring that the receiver optimally receives those data symbols.

    摘要: A spur detection and spur cancellation apparatus in a multiple sub-carrier digital communication receiver includes a spur detection block that estimates, using one or more Fourier transforms, a frequency location of a narrowband interference spur in a received digital signal that includes a plurality of sub-carriers, and a spur cancellation block that attenuates the estimated narrowband interference spur. The spur detection block may use a fast Fourier transform (FFT) and/or a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to locate a frequency and to measure a discrete power spectra of the narrowband interference spur. A channel state information block in the receiver may adjust a channel state information metric based on the located frequency and/or the measured discrete power spectra of the narrowband interference spur.

    摘要: A polar transmitter includes a phase monitoring unit for monitoring input modulating data. When a phase transition exceeds a phase transition threshold, the phase monitor unit can signal an amplitude negation unit to invert the amplitude data coupled to the polar amplifier. The phase monitoring unit can also add an offset to the phase data that is provided to a frequency synthesizer. In another embodiment, when the phase transition threshold is exceeded, the phase monitoring unit can trigger inverting differential frequency data coupled to the polar amplifier. In one embodiment, the phase offset and the amplitude negation are applied until a second phase transition value exceeding the phase transition threshold is detected. If such an event is detected, then the input amplitude data is no longer inverted and the phase offset value is no longer added to the modulating data.
