    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.

    摘要: Certain embodiments of the invention may be found in a method and system for antenna selection diversity with prediction. An antenna diversity system may use information that it has stored on the antenna selection process in previous frames to predict the starting receiving antenna and the starting transmission antenna for the next frame. The prediction may be based on which antennas were selected in previous frames or may be based metrics associated with performance of the antennas. Prediction may be based on a majority polling scheme of previously selected antennas in a determined number of previous frames. Prediction may also be based on a weighted sum of at least one selection metric for all antennas in a determined number of previous frames. Antenna prediction provides a significant performance improvement by reducing the processing and operational overhead in cases where a transmit or a receive antenna dominates.

    摘要: A receiver includes digital logic for defining a plurality of signal paths for an ingoing digital signal to determine a frame classification. Frames are classified according to a combination of readings of a plurality of correlation block and relative signal (power) strengths. Power detection is specified for frequency bands of interest. The combination of readings and their corresponding pattern may be used to determine whether a frame is being transmitted in a lower bandwidth channel, an upper bandwidth channel or a large bandwidth channel that overlaps the lower and upper bandwidth channels. A transmission type (legacy, mixed mode, Greenfield) may subsequently be determined based upon the identity of the frame channel.

    摘要: Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) timing recovery. A novel approach is presented to perform timing recovery when processing the multiple received signals within a MIMO communication device. This may be implemented for a singular received signal, or a plurality of received signal streams. In addition, this timing recovery may be performed in conjunction with carrier detection to provide more robust performance. Alternatively, indicia and/or signals corresponding to carrier detection of these signals may be provided to timing recovery functionality from carrier detection functionality external to the timing recovery functionality. Certain processing and analysis is performed on a modified correlation function that is generated using samples of moving windows that pass over symbols of a packet. Based on this analysis of the modified correlation function, and sometimes in conjunction with one or more carrier detect signals, timing recovery may be performed thereby locating the point at which decoding of the packet may be performed.
