A printed circuit antenna has a feedline region and a radiating structure region. The feedline region is formed of conductors on an upper plane, the conductors including a feedline which is edge coupled to a left ground structure and a right ground structure, all of which are above a ground plane. High-band RF is coupled from the RF feedline to a HB-U radiating structure including a first segment and a second segment perpendicular to the first segment, and also an HB-L radiating structure including a first segment coupled to a third segment through an air gap. Low-band RF is coupled across a gap from the first segment to a LB radiating structure having a third segment, a fourth segment, a fifth segment, a sixth segment, a seventh segment, an eighth segment, and a ninth segment with a terminus coupled to the left ground structure.

A filter for receiver and operative on a stream of OFDM symbols has a symbol timing identifier which indicates the time interval for each symbol and also indicates a non-truncation interval and a truncation interval of the stream of symbols. The stream of OFDM symbols is applied to an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter with a reset input for resetting internal registers such that during the non-truncation interval, the reset input is not asserted, and during the truncation interval of the stream of OFDM symbols, the reset input is asserted during the intervals between symbols, as identified by the symbol timing identifier.A transmit filter for a stream of OFDM symbols, each symbol being separated into a first Tg interval, a second Tg interval, a symbol interval, and a final Tg interval, the filter has a stream modifier which discards the first Tg interval, accepts said second Tg interval, accepts the symbol interval and discards said final Tg interval, presenting to an infinite impulse response filter, in sequence, the second Tg interval, the symbol interval and the second Tg interval.

A receive filter for a stream of OFDM symbols has an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter which receives packets having a preamble part followed by a data part, the data part having a succession of cyclic prefixes followed by OFDM symbols. The packet is provided to the IIR filter, and the registers of the IIR filter are reset before or during each cyclic prefix. The IIR filter may be formed from registers which are coupled to return a value to a predecessor register, or as an array of registers, such as in a BIQUAD configuration, where the registers are reset by a shared reset signal.

An packet detection controller accepts an input from an AGC controller which indicates the presence of an increased signal energy and also completion of an AGC process and generates an output to suspend the AGC process. The packet detection controller also receives a plurality of IQ receiver streams and forms a single stream for use by a packet detector, which is controllable by an SNR_MODE indicating whether the signal to noise ratio is above or below a particular threshold, and a PD_RESET signal indicating that no packet detection should occur. The controller also receives a PACKET_DET signal indicating that packet detection is completed. The packet detection controller examines the incoming receiver streams and suspends AGC process if a packet detect is generated, or suspends the packet detector if an AGC process is required.

A process for equalizing streams of OFDM subcarrier data computes the noise variance for each stream, and forms a stream weighting coefficient by equalizing the noise variance, such that for a first stream having a noise variance σ1 and a second stream having a noise variance of σ2, the first stream is scaled by k 1 = 2 σ 2 σ 1 2 + σ 2 2 and the second stream is scaled by k 2 = 2 σ 1 σ 1 2 - σ 2 2 .
摘要:
An OFDM symbol comprises information subcarriers which carry the information to be transmitted, accompanied by edge subcarriers, which are selected to minimize the PAPR of the transmitted signal. The selection of edge subcarriers which minimizes PAPR enables either higher power transmission for the same information content, or lower power consumption for the same transmitted symbol power.

A transmit-receive switch has a transmit port, an antenna port, and a receive port. A first switch couples the transmit port to the antenna port when a signal TxON is asserted. A LOW_BAND signal indicates the selection of a lower band of frequencies. A tuning structure is formed by a second and third switch in series which couple the antenna port to ground through a first capacitor when TxON and LOW_BAND are both asserted, and LOW_BAND may be provided to one or more such tuning structures for multi-band frequency operation. A second capacitor couples the antenna port to ground when a fourth switch is enabled. An inductor couples the antenna port to the receive port. A third capacitor is placed across the receive port and ground. A fifth switch is closed when TxON is asserted. The first through fifth switches can be a CMOS FET with an isolated substrate coupled to ground through an associated resistor.
