Abstract: Nonlinearity correction in a device that performs analog-to-digital conversion on received analog signals, may be calibrated by generating correction-parameters estimation which when applied to the total spectral content reduces distortion resulting from said nonlinearity in originally-unoccupied spectral regions. Digital signals generated based on sampling of the received analog signals may then be corrected, to remove nonlinearity related distortion, based on the estimated correction-parameters. The nonlinearity calibration may be performed during reception and handling of said analog signals. The correction-parameters may be generated based on signals located in particular spectral regions, such as the originally-unoccupied spectral regions. These signals may be injected within the device, into the particular spectral regions, and the signal may have known characteristics to enable estimating the required correction.

A user of the first WCD may interact with content that is displayed on a display of the second WCD and vice-versa.

The IP LNB assembly may determine a location setting via a GNSS module and determine an alignment setting via a directional sensor in the IP LNB assembly. The IP LNB assembly may determine a received signal strength based on a RSSI.
