    摘要: Techniques for detecting and mitigating interference are described. A device (e.g., a cellular phone) senses interference levels and digitally reconstructs the expected interference in the received signal. The device may correlate the reconstructed interference with the received signal and determine interference in the received signal based on correlation results. The device may adjust the operation of one or more circuit blocks (e.g., a mixer, an LNA, etc.) in a receiver based on the detected interference in the received signal. Alternatively or additionally, the device may condition the digital interference to obtain conditioned reconstructed interference matching the interference in the received signal and may then subtract the conditioned interference from the received signal.

    摘要: Techniques for adaptively calibrating a TDC output signal in a digital phase-locked loop (DPLL). In an exemplary embodiment, a calibration factor multiplied to the TDC output signal is adaptively adjusted to minimize a magnitude function of a phase comparator output signal of the DPLL. In an exemplary embodiment, the calibration factor may be adjusted using an exemplary embodiment of the least-mean squares (LMS) algorithm. Further techniques for simplifying the adaptive algorithm for hardware implementation are described.

    摘要: Techniques for identifying and suppressing frequency spurs in a signal are disclosed. In an embodiment, an incoming signal is rotated by a frequency related to a spur frequency, and an estimate of the content of the rotated signal is derived. The estimate may be subtracted from the rotated incoming signal, and the result de-rotated by the spur frequency. In an embodiment, the incoming signal may be rotated such that the spur is centered at DC. In an alternative embodiment, the estimate may be de-rotated before being subtracted from the original incoming signal. Techniques for addressing multiple spurs using serial and parallel architectures are disclosed. Further disclosed are techniques for searching for the presence of spurs in an incoming signal, and tracking spur frequencies over time.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide a method, system, and apparatus for interference cancellation at the baseband of a receiver. A wireless communication device, having a transmitter and receiver, is provided with an adaptive circuit that cancels interference caused by transmit signals (or other signals) leaked or bled onto the receiver at baseband to facilitate detection of a received signal of interest. Some implementations provide for a circuit that approximately reconstructs the second and third order components caused by the nonlinear response of the down-conversion chain of a receiver. This reconstructed signal is then subtracted from the composite received signal to obtain a received signal of interest.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for eliminating receive band noise in a communication system is provided. The method comprises sensing a transmit signal at a receive frequency, wherein the signal sensed is a bleed over signal from a transmit signal. The sensed bleed over signal is then digitized using a secondary receiver. This secondary receiver utilizes a separate path from the primary receive path. The next step in the method is to estimate the linear distortion, delay, attenuation in the sensed bleed over signal. Next, compensation for the linear distortion, delay, and attenuation are performed on the sensed bleed over signal. The sensed, digitized, and compensated bleed over signal is then cancelled from the primary receive path.

    摘要: Techniques for compensating for I-Q mismatch in a communications receiver. In an exemplary embodiment, incoming I and Q samples are adjusted by multiplying with certain compensation coefficients to generate mismatch-compensated I and Q samples. The compensation coefficients may themselves be calculated and iteratively refined from the mismatch-compensated I and Q samples. Further techniques for partitioning the adjustment and estimation functions among computational hardware are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, estimation may be restricted to only those segments of the incoming I and Q samples that fulfill certain conditions, e.g., segments of the incoming I and Q samples known to be statistically uncorrelated and/or to have equal average energy.
