Abstract: Receiver architectures and methods of processing harmonic rich input signals employing harmonic suppression mixers are disclosed herein. The disclosed receivers, mixers, and methods enable a receiver to achieve the advantages of switching mixers while greatly reducing the mixer response to the undesired harmonics. A harmonic mixer can include a plurality of mixers coupled to an input signal. A plurality of phases of a local oscillator signal can be generated from a single local oscillator output. Each of the phases can be used to drive an input of one of the mixers. The mixer outputs can be combined to generate a frequency converted output that has harmonic rejection.

Abstract: A cable modem (CM) device captures signals over a wide spectrum including one or more cable frequency bands and sub-bands, and extracts one or more cable channels from the captured signals. The CM device is operable to analyze the extracted one or more cable channels and assigns a portion of the extracted one or more cable channels for upstream and/or downstream communication based on the analysis. The CM device may recapture one or more previously unused cable channels to be utilized for the upstream and/or downstream communication based on the analysis. The CM device may determine noise, interference and/or blocker information corresponding to the extracted one or more cable channels based on the analysis. Based on the determined noise, interference and/or blocker information, the cable modem termination system (CMTS) may assign or block usage of one or more cable channels for the upstream and/or downstream communication.

Abstract: A communication system may include a first broadband device and a second broadband device. Signals may be wirelessly communicated from the first broadband device to the second broadband device at a power level that is below a spurious emissions mask. The communicated signals may be transmitted over a designated frequency band. A barrier separates the first broadband device from the second broadband device. The first broadband device may be paired with the second broadband device, and the signals may be wirelessly communicated from the first to the second broadband device. The signals may be communicated using signal emitting/receiving components, which may be jointly configured to optimize near-field communication while nullifying or substantially reducing signaling in other ranges, particularly far-field or intermediate-field ranges. The signal emitting/receiving components may comprise dipole or coil antennas, with the desired optimization and nullification being achieved based on controlling of electromagnetic fields.
