Abstract: A dual-band, tri-band, or higher-order multi-band array of antenna elements, with each element, or subsets of elements, connected to multiple radios at each antenna port. In one embodiment, an array comprises a 128 element Massive MIMO array having 64 horizontally-polarized (H-pol) and 64 vertically-polarized (V-pol) elements configured to provide dual polarization capability over multiple bands to accommodate highly-configurable simultaneous 4G and 5G operation.

Abstract: Wideband polar receivers and method of operation are described. A phase-modulated input signal is received at a polar receiver that includes an injection-locked oscillator. The injection-locked oscillator includes a plurality of injection points. Based on the frequency of the input signal, a particular Nth harmonic is selected, and the input signal is injected at the set of injection points corresponding to the selected Nth harmonic. The injection-locked oscillator generates an oscillator output signal, and the phase of the input signal is determined from the phase of the oscillator output signal. In some embodiments, the oscillator output signal is frequency-multiplied by N, mixed with the input signal, and filtered for use in amplitude detection. The input signal is decoded based on the phase and amplitude information.

Abstract: Selectively enabling an amplitude processing circuit and a phase processing circuit of a wireless station's polar receiver with respect to reception of a beacon signal. Such systems and methods may include sequentially demodulating symbols of the received beacon signal using at least the phase processing circuit to detect a traffic indication signal value in a data payload portion of the received beacon signal. Upon detecting a condition indicating no data traffic for the wireless station, the phase processing circuit may be turned off. The polar receiver may demodulate symbols of the received beacon signal and upon detecting a beacon preamble symbol sequence, shut off the amplitude processing circuit and set the amplitude to a fixed value. The phase processing circuit in conjunction with the fixed amplitude value may be used to demodulate symbols of the beacon signal.

Abstract: A polar transmitter including a digital power amplifier cell that includes a first circuit and an amplifier circuit. The first circuit is configured to receive a phase modulated carrier signal and to generate a PMOS control signal and an NMOS control signal such that the PMOS control signal and the NMOS control signal have different duty cycles. The amplifier circuit is configured to receive the PMOS control signal at a PMOS transistor and the NMOS control signal at an NMOS transistor. The first circuit is configured to align the PMOS control signal and the NMOS control signal with respect to one another such that a time that the NMOS transistor and the PMOS transistor of the amplifier circuit are simultaneously conducting is minimized. The amplifier circuit is configured to generate an amplified modulated carrier signal in response to the PMOS and NMOS control signals.

Abstract: A method and circuit for linearizing a frequency response of an oscillator controlled by a plurality of capacitor banks are disclosed. In the disclosed method, for each capacitor bank of at least two capacitor banks of the oscillator, a respective sensitivity characteristic of the capacitor bank is determined. Further, a set of reference output frequency control words (FCWs) for an associated set of frequencies of the oscillator are determined. When an input FCW is received and an output FCW is responsively provided based on (i) an interpolation between two reference output FCWs of the set of reference output FCWs and (ii) the respective sensitivity characteristics of the at least two capacitor banks of the oscillator. The output FCW is then applied to the at least two capacitor banks of the oscillator.
