    Abstract: Carrier aggregation (CA) may cause interference between operation on two or more carriers within a user equipment (UE). This interference can degrade signal quality on one or more of the carriers involved in the carrier aggregation, which may be referred to as “desensing” one or more carriers. One or more isolating buffers may be coupled at a down-conversion mixer at a point where the down-conversion mixer receives a signal from a transmission line for isolating the transmission line from other transmission lines. The isolating buffer may reduce the effect of interference between multiple transmission lines carrying different carriers during carrier aggregation (CA) operation. The isolating buffers may be used in an RF transceiver supporting both 5G sub-7 GHz and 5G mmWave wireless networks and carrier aggregation across sub-7 GHz and mmWave bands.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus including a receiver configured to process a radio frequency (RF) signal to generate a baseband signal; a radio frequency (RF) jammer detector configured to generate a signal indicative of whether an RF jammer is present at an input of the receiver; and a receiver bias circuit configured to generate a supply voltage for the receiver based on the RF jammer indication signal. In another aspect, the apparatus includes constant gain bias circuit to maintain the gain of the receiver constant in response to changes in the supply voltage. In other aspects, the receiver bias circuit may suspend the generating of the supply voltage based on the RF jammer indication signal if the power level of the target received signal is above a threshold. In other aspects, the receiver bias circuit changes the supply voltage during cyclic prefix (CP) intervals between downlink intervals.
