    摘要: A method, a system and a device for implementing a scalable, self-calibrating and configuring, radio frequency head in a wireless base station that performs phase calibration for coherent combining of a pair of transmitter outputs. Configurable Antenna Calibration (CAC) logic initiates phase calibration for coherent combining by selecting a first configuration and triggering the transmission of a reference signal by radio frequency (RF) transmitters using different sub-carriers. The CAC logic generates a vector of phase values by comparing the reference signal with the respective signals received by a calibration receiver. The CAC logic also generates calibration coefficients for coherent combining by normalizing the phase values. In addition, a passive combiner mechanism is employed to implement coherent combining. The CAC logic performs calibration of smart antennas by providing calibration coefficients via a second configuration which utilizes both a calibration transmitter and the calibration receiver.

    摘要: A direct digital frequency synthesizer increases the frequency resolution of the analog output signal by using fractionalization techniques. The best integer value I.sub.FR of a digital signal is determined and the next integer value I.sub.FR +1 of a digital signal is used to determine a weighted fractionalized value of the digital signal. The fractionalized value of the digital signal is used to synthesize the analog output signal having increased frequency resolution. In addition, IFR and IFR+1 are optimally distributed during the weighting process to ensure a minimum cumulative phase error.

    摘要: A method, wireless device, and wireless communication system manage quadrature and non-linear distortions in a transmitter system (100). A transmit data signal (235) is generated from a baseband data signal (202). The transmit data signal (235) can include one or more non-linear and/or quadrature distortions. An RF receiver circuit (238) receives the transmit data signal (235). A received signal, from the RF receiver circuit (238), includes a digital representation of the received transmit data signal (235). The received signal is statistically analyzed (404). A representation of each distortion of the one or more distortions is identified in the transmit data signal (235). At least one information signal (268) including an information set of distortion adjustments is generated. Distortion of the transmit data signal (235) is adjusted (410) based on the information set to reduce the one or more distortions in the transmit data signal (235).

    摘要: A programmable modulator (100) is programmable to operate in either of a GMSK or 8PSK mode. When operating in a GMSK mode, a signal modulating circuit 105 receives (210) a bit stream (110), maps the bit stream (110) to a phase value in complex I, Q form and applies a progressive rotation to the phase value according to GMSK specifications. The output (140) is filtered by a filter circuit (135), preferably using a complex Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter using the standard coefficients for an 8PSK modulation to create (215) an approximate GMSK output (165). A GMSK correction circuit (150) determines a correction term that is added to the filter circuit output (165) so as to correct amplitude variations to allow the output to conform to GSM/EDGE standards. The same modulator (100) may be programmed to operate in an 8PSK mode with linear predistortion.

    摘要: A communications system, e.g., a wireless microphone, incorporates a quadrature modulator system to reduce power consumption with respect to traditional approaches and is general in nature to support any two-dimensional digital technique. The quadrature modulator system comprises different subsystems, including a digital-analog transformation circuit, a baseband filter, and a quadrature modulator. The digital-analog transformation circuit converts discrete time samples to a continuous time signal, and further includes an oversampling noise-shaping modulator such as a sigma-delta modulator. The baseband filter then removes out-of-band energy including sampling images and quantization noise. Some of the circuit components may comprise discrete devices that may result in a reduction of power consumption for the quadrature modulator system. Alternatively, some or all of the circuit components may be incorporated in a single electronic device. For example, an in-phase/quadrature-phase (I/Q) converter and oversampling noise-shaping modulator may be implemented within one field-programmable gate array.

    摘要: A communication system implements detection of bad frames of information by utilizing multiple bit correction thresholds. Equipment used within the communication system adapts to different signaling environments by dynamically altering the bit correction threshold based on a history of the number of consecutive bad frames of information that have been previously erased and the number of bits corrected by a channel decoder (202). By implementing this dynamic bit correction threshold, sufficient bad frame indication (BFI) detection and receiver sensitivity can be obtained simultaneously, which results in an improved perceived audio quality to the end user.
