    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for transmitting symbols in a multiple antenna communication system. The disclosed frame structure comprises a preamble having a plurality of long training symbols that are transmitted on a plurality transmit antennas. At least a portion of the frame is delayed on at least one transmit antenna. The disclosed frame formats of the present invention are backwards compatible to existing single antenna communication systems. The delay amount, D, can be approximately equal to one OFDM time sample period, T. The delayed version can be obtained by introducing a time delay into a signal on the delayed branch(es) or by cyclically shifting at least a portion of each frame on the delayed branch(es). The entire frame or only the preamble portion of each frame can be delayed.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for estimating the DC offset distortion in a receiver. A fast Fourier transform is applied to at least a portion of a preamble portion of the received signal; an impact of the DC offset distortion on one or more empty subcarriers is determined; individual DC estimates are derived based on each of the determinations; and each of the individual DC estimates are combined to obtain an overall DC estimate.

    摘要: Methods and systems for calibrating a transmitter with I/Q imbalance and local oscillator feed-through include generating a test tone, frequency up-converting the test tone, monitoring one or more features of the up-converted test tone, and adjusting one or more features of the transmitter in response to the monitoring. The monitoring optionally includes monitoring a beating of the envelope of the up-converted test tone. In an embodiment, a first harmonic of the up-converted test tone is monitored for local oscillator feed-through (LOFT). Alternatively, baseband data inputs to the transmitter are disabled, and LOFT is measured by measuring power at the transmitter output. A second harmonic of the up-converted test tone is monitored for gain and phase imbalances. The adjusting optionally includes adjusting a gain imbalance, adjusting a phase imbalance, and/or adjusting a DC offset. The adjusting optionally includes an iterative refinement process.

Such a refinement process optionally includes performing a first monitoring, applying a set of relatively coarse settings to the one or more features in the transmitter, monitoring the beating resulting from each of the coarse settings, selecting the coarse setting corresponding the smallest beating, applying a set of relatively fine settings centered around the selected coarse setting, wherein the fine settings are more closely related to one another than are the coarse settings, monitoring the beating resulting from each of the fine settings, and selecting the fine setting corresponding the smallest beating.

    摘要: An integrated circuit radio transceiver and method therefor is operable to flexibly and efficiently de-interleave a received communication signal by initially changing a received signal from the time domain to the frequency domain to generate a plurality of tones that are then rearranged in a first de-interleaving step to an order expected by a downstream decoder. Thereafter, the tones are detected to generate a soft bit sequence and are then reverse-swizzled and de-interleaved. The de-interleaving step is performed in a manner that compensates for row/column offset interleaving performed by a transmitter that transmitted the received signal being processed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for selecting a transmission mode based upon a length of at least a portion of a packet to be transmitted. A packet is transmitted in a multiple antenna communication system by selecting a transmission mode based on a length of at least a portion of the packet. The transmission mode can indicate a number of antennas or date rate (or both) to be used for the transmission. A transmission mode can also be selected based on, for example, (i) a mode selection table that records an expected transmission time for a packet for each supported transmission mode or (ii) one or more packet length thresholds each having a corresponding transmission mode. ACK (acknowledgment) packets can be transmitted using a predefined transmission mode, such as a SISO mode (or a lower order MIMO mode than the original packet), or based on a predefined relationship between the transmission mode of the original packet and the corresponding transmission mode that should be used to acknowledge the packet.
