Abstract: A system and method of analog to digital conversion including an adjustable ADC, FIR filter circuitry, and a noise setting controller. The ADC samples an analog input signal to provide digital samples at a sample rate that is Y times an output rate of output digital values. The FIR filter circuitry includes Y taps with Y corresponding coefficients and is configured to filter the digital samples from the ADC and to provide filtered digital samples at the sample rate. decimation circuitry may be included to decimate the filtered digital samples by Y to provide the output digital values. The noise setting controller provides an adjustment value to the ADC to adjust noise contribution of the digital samples provided by the ADC based on corresponding coefficients of the FIR filter circuitry. The ADC is adjusted to reduce noise contribution of digital samples that correspond with higher FIR filter coefficients.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing both wireless communications and wireless sensing in combination. The systems include at least a first base station having at least one antenna device where the antenna device includes a beamformer control unit that uses a modifiable lookup table to control beam characteristics. The system may send a first set of electromagnetic sensing beams to a first environmental area within a field of view of the at least one antenna device to detect environmental objects within the environmental area. Based on data received by the antenna device, the system may generate a modified lookup table.

Abstract: The present application relates to an EQ circuit, a method of operating it and a system comprising the EQ circuit and an ADC. The EQ circuit has a configurable load section, which is provided for selectively exposing one of a plurality of distinct loads to a reference source connected to a reference voltage signal input of the equalization circuit, and a logic section, which is arranged to accept a state signal from the ADC and to selectively connect one distinct load out of the plurality of distinct loads in response to the state signal. The state signal is indicative of an actual operation state of the ADC.

Abstract: An analog to digital converter including a digital to analog converter (DAC), a comparator, and a controller. The DAC includes a sample node and a capacitor array controlled by a digital control input. The comparator compares a voltage of the sample node with a reference voltage to generate a comparison value. The controller presets the digital control input, prompts the DAC to sample the input voltage onto the sample node, resets the digital control input, and performs a conversion by successively adjusting the digital control input based on the comparison value to determine a digital output. A preset value is subtracted from the digital output to provide an adjusted digital output. A sample predictor predicts the next sample to determine the preset value used to adjust the sample node within a full scale range after DAC reset.
