Abstract: One embodiment is an apparatus having a memory, a controller, and a de-interleaving module. The memory is configured to store portions of a set of interleaved values, where the set of interleaved values correspond to a single application of an interleaving mapping to a set of un-interleaved values. The controller is configured to retrieve each portion from an other memory that stores the set of interleaved values by moving the portion from the other memory to the memory. The de-interleaving module is configured to de-interleave the interleaved values in at least one of the portions to generate a de-interleaved portion such that processing downstream of the de-interleaving module can begin processing the de-interleaved portion before all of the interleaved values in the set of interleaved values are de-interleaved by the de-interleaving module.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for analog-to-digital conversion. The apparatus includes a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a second ADC, and a calibration unit. The first ADC is configured to sample an input analog signal at a first sampling frequency. The second ADC is configured to sample the input analog signal at a second sampling frequency. The second sampling frequency is a fraction of the first sampling frequency. The calibration unit is configured to correct a distortion incurred in an output of the first ADC based on an output of the second ADC. The first ADC may be a time-interleaved ADC. The second ADC may be an extra sub-ADC of the time-interleaved ADC. The second ADC may be configured to sample the input analog signal at random sampling phases. A dithering noise may be added to the input analog signal of the second ADC. The calibration unit may be a non-linear equalizer.

Abstract: A system and method for digital correction for a dynamically varying non-linear system. The system includes a correction circuitry including at least one look-up table (LUT). The correction circuitry is configured to receive an input signal and modify the input signal to be processed by the non-linear system using at least one LUT to correct non-linearity incurred by the non-linear system. The at least one LUT is addressed by a magnitude or power of the input signal and a dynamically varying parameter associated with the input signal. The dynamically varying parameter may be one of average signal power of the input signal, a differential of the average power of the input signal, a directional beam index, or temperature.

Abstract: An apparatus for correcting a mismatch between a first segment and a second segment of a Digital-to-Analog Converter, DAC, is provided. The first segment generates a first contribution to an analog output signal of the DAC based on a first number of bits of a digital input word for the DAC converter, and the second segment generates a second contribution based on a second number of bits. Further, the apparatus comprises a first processing circuit for the first number of bits comprising a first filter configured to modify the first number of bits to generate first modified bits, and a second processing circuit comprising a second filter to modify the second number of bits to generate second modified bits. The apparatus additionally comprises an output configured to output a modified digital input word for the DAC, which is based on the first modified bits and the second modified bits.
