摘要： Systems and methods are described for providing a throughput of 10 Gbps or more in a coaxial cable network and which operate at high frequencies above the existing services on home coax in the range 2 GHz to 10 GHz, or more. The network uses a wide signal bandwidth, in the range, for example, of 8 GHz. Operating above the CATV band and satellite services, the network coexists with these services without mutual interference. The system could be used in networking systems, such as MoCA 3 and Access systems. This is achieved by using a splitter with a low loss and low isolation in the 2-10 GHz range at the point-of entry (POE) of the network signal. Alternatively, an active node to provide a signal booster or a repeater function at the point-of-entry (POE) can be used.

摘要： A method and apparatus in which a Tap-Weight Computer (TWC) calculates a Tap-Weight Vector (TWV). The TWV is coupled to a register in each of a plurality of adaptive filter modules. Each such adaptive filter module includes several adaptive filters that each include a tapped delay line. The input to the tapped delay line of each such adaptive filter is one of a plurality of potential interfering signals. The TWV controls the weighting of the outputs from the taps off the delay line. The weighted outputs from each tapped delay line are then subtracted from a received signal which potentially includes interference from the potential interfering signals. The TWC is multiplexed to each of the plurality of adaptive filters so that each adaptive filter is loaded with a TWV calculated by the TWC to reduce the amount of interference contributed by a particular potential interfering signal coupled to an input to that particular adaptive filter. In one embodiment, a plurality of such adaptive filter modules share the same TWC.

摘要： A method of signal processing, or corresponding apparatus, includes providing digital input signals representing beamforming data to be transmitted on respective antennas. One of the digital input signals is selected at a time among a plurality of times, to cycle through the digital input signals repeatedly and provide a multiplexed digital signal, which is converted to a multiplexed analog signal. The multiplexed analog signal is filtered to pass a predetermined frequency band and demultiplexed to provide analog output signals. One of the analog output signals is selected and provided to a corresponding antenna for transmission. Sharing a transmitter and DAC among multiple antennas results in reduced cost and power. Such cost and power reductions in turn enable larger antenna arrays than are available with prior art techniques, thereby promoting increased throughput and coverage.

摘要： Techniques for accelerated processing associated with analog to digital signal conversion are disclosed. Accelerated processing is provided for sample-and-hold and track-and-hold circuits used with analog to digital converters in various embodiments. An abbreviated sampling state, an abbreviated reset state, or both are employed in various embodiments. By accelerating processing so as to avoid the need for waiting for a signal to settle within a predetermined tolerance, errors of different types may be incurred. Such errors are determined during calibration and stored for future retrieval and error compensation. Techniques for online and offline calibration are disclosed, whereby calibration may or may not impact normal signal conversion processing. Techniques disclosed herein find broad applicability in analog to digital conversion and yield faster processing in a variety of contexts.

摘要： An outdoor satellite receiving unit (ODU) receives several independent satellite signals, selects two signals with a switch matrix, downconverts the two signals to a bandstacked signal with a high and a low band signal, and outputs the bandstacked signal on the same cable to receiver units. Several satellite signals can be selected in groups of two or more and output to independent receiver units. Signal selecting is performed at the received radio frequency (RF) and bandstacking is performed with a single downconversion step to an intermediate frequency (IF). Channel stacking on the same cable of more than two channels from several satellites can be achieved by using frequency agile downconverters and bandpass filters prior to combining at the IF output. A slow transitioning switch minimizes signal disturbances when switching and maintains input impedance at a constant value.

摘要： A method of signal processing, or corresponding apparatus, includes providing multiple analog receive signals at respective antennas and selecting one antenna at a time in an iterative manner, to cycle through the antennas and provide a multiplexed analog signal. The multiplexed analog signal is filtered at a filter to pass a predetermined frequency band. The multiplexed analog signal is sampled at a single analog to digital converter to generate a multiplexed digital signal. The multiplexed digital signal is demultiplexed to generate multiple digital signals for digital processing. Sharing a receiver and ADC among multiple antennas results in reduced cost and power. Such cost and power reductions in turn enable larger antenna arrays than are available with prior art techniques, thereby promoting increased throughput and coverage.
