    摘要: An on-signal calibration system I and Q signals of a transmitter to remove distortions in the RF output signal. The transmitter generates I and Q values and converts, modulates and combines the I and Q values into the RF output signal for transmission. The calibration system includes a detector, a sampler, a selector, an imbalance estimator, and an IQ corrector. The detector senses the RF output signal and provides a detection signal indicative thereof. The sampler samples the detection signal and provides digital samples. The selector selects from among the digital samples that correspond to predetermined ranges of the I and Q values, or otherwise predetermined selection boxes at predetermined phases. The imbalance estimator determines at least one imbalance estimate based on selected digital samples. The IQ corrector corrects the I and Q values using at least one imbalance estimate.

    摘要: A method of canceling gain and phase imbalance including estimating a cancellation parameter based on the signal divided by its complex conjugate, calculating a correction value for the signal using the cancellation parameter, and correcting the signal by subtracting the correction value from the signal. Estimate the cancellation parameter may include performing a stochastic gradient algorithm or a least squares estimate. A cancellation system including a conjugate conversion unit, an estimator, a combiner, a converter, and a subtractor. The estimator estimates a cancellation parameter and the combiner combines the cancellation parameter and the complex conjugate signal to provide a cancellation signal. The converter converts the cancellation signal to a correction signal, and the subtractor subtracts the correction signal from the imbalanced signal to provide a corrected signal. The combiner may be an adaptable tap of a digital signal processing circuit.

    摘要: A digital communication receiver (10) takes one complex sample (20) of a baseband analog signal (12) per symbol. A rectangular to polar converter (26) separates phase attributes of the complex samples from magnitude attributes. A phase processor (28) identifies clock adjustment opportunities which occur when relatively large phase changes take place between consecutive symbols. A magnitude processor (32) influences symbol timing only during clock adjustment opportunities. The magnitude processor (32) advances symbol timing in a phase locked loop when decreasing magnitude changes are detected during clock adjustment opportunities and retards symbol timing when increasing magnitude changes are detected during clock adjustment opportunities. An interpolator (66) may be used to estimate magnitude values between samples so that magnitude change is determined between sampled magnitude values and estimated magnitude values.

    摘要: A communication system (10) includes a transmitter (12) which induces in a communication signal (16), a first component of in-phase to quadrature phase (I-Q) imbalance and a receiver (14) which adds a second component of I-Q imbalance. A digital, intermediate frequency (IF) I-Q balancer (38) compensates for the receiver-induced I-Q imbalance so that total distortion is sufficiently diminished and a data directed carrier tracking loop (60) may then perform carrier synchronization to generate a baseband signal (70). An adaptive equalizer (64) within the carrier tracking loop (60) may then effectively operate to compensate for additional distortions, such as the transmitter-induced I-Q imbalance.

    摘要: A phase-noise compensated digital communication receiver (40, 40′, 40″) includes a carrier tracking loop (56) which imposes a transport delay on a carrier tracking loop signal (60) before that signal (60) is fed back upon itself. The carrier tracking loop (56) includes a phase rotator (58) that rotates a down-converted digital communication signal (50) by a phase determined by a phase-conveying signal (72). A carrier tracking loop signal is obtained from the carrier tracking loop and delayed in a delay element (82) by a duration that compensates for the transport delay. A phase rotator (84) then rotates the delayed carrier tracking loop signal through a phase value determined by the phase-conveying signal (72) to obtain an open-loop phase signal (86) from which data are extracted. Different embodiments of the receiver (40, 40′, 40″) are provided to accommodate adaptive equalizer (54) issues.

    摘要: Symbols (18) of a burst (12) are sub-divided into symbol sections (20). Each symbol section (20) is sampled and converted into polar coordinates. A buffer bank (38) selectably delays the samples and replays a preamble (14). A demod bank (40) includes a coherent demod (58) and several differential demods (60). Each differential demod (60) processes its own stream of symbol sections (20). The differential demods (60) feed a preamble detector (66) and a symbol synchronization circuit (62). The symbol synchronization circuit (62) identifies the symbol section (20) which yields the smallest magnitude of frequency errors. This symbol section (20) is processed by the coherent demod (58) to acquire carrier phase and recover data. The coherent demod (58) is implemented in the phase domain so that only oscillation signal phase data need be generated in phase locked loops. Two phase locked loops (110, 112) operate in parallel but with initial reference phase offsets so that at least one of the two loops will not experience hang-up.
