摘要： A novel and useful apparatus for and method of closed loop IQ calibration for use in a transmitter. The IQ calibration mechanism functions to provide calibration of IQ imbalance in the presence of real world RF impairments. An iterative process is used to update the gain and phase mismatch values whereby the metrics are calculated in a differential manner without the need for calculation absolute imbalance values. At each iteration, updating the gain and phase mismatch estimate requires only the direction of the correction to be determined. The direction of the correction is calculated using only the differences between output power measurements. The updated gain and phase mismatch estimates are used to update an IQ correction matrix. This process is repeated until a desired stopping criterion is reached. Gear shifting is used to ensure quick convergence of the algorithm while providing the ability to achieve any desired level of accuracy.

摘要： A novel and useful apparatus for and method of distributed coexistence for mitigating interference in a single chip radio and/or a multi-radio (i.e. multi-transceiver) communications device. The invention enables coexistence ‘friendly’ radio IPs having frequency agility in that they are capable of shifting their clock frequencies thereby avoiding frequency bands of potential victim radios. Frequency agility on the aggressor radio side (rather than by mitigating the effect of interference on the victim radio side) prevents harmonics from the aggressor's clock scheme from falling in the operating frequency band of the victim radio, and in turn causing degradation to its performance. Each aggressor radio, based on information received from other radios, configures the root clock frequency of its RX and/or TX chain clock generation circuits.

摘要： A novel and useful apparatus for and method of local oscillator (LO) generation with non-integer multiplication ratio between the local oscillator and RF frequencies. The LO generation schemes presented are operative to generate I and Q square waves at a designated frequency while avoiding the well known issue of harmonic pulling. The input signal is fed to a synthesizer timed to a rational multiplier of the RF frequency L/N fRF. The clock signal generated is divided by a factor Q to form 2Q phases of the clock at a frequency of L(N*Q) fRF, wherein each phase undergoes division by L. The phase signals are input to a pulse generator which outputs a plurality of pulses. The pulses are input to a selector which selects which signal to output at any point in time. By controlling the selector, the output clock is generated as a TDM based signal. Any spurs are removed by an optional filter.

摘要： A novel and useful apparatus for and method of local oscillator (LO) generation with non-integer multiplication ratio between the local oscillator and RF frequencies. The LO generation schemes presented are operative to generate I and Q square waves at a designated frequency while avoiding the well known issue of harmonic pulling. A synthesizer provides 4/3 the desired frequency fRF. This frequency is divided by two to obtain in-phase and quadrature square waves at ⅔ fRF. The in-phase signal is divided by two again to obtain in-phase and quadrature square waves at ⅓ fRF. The signals are then logically combined using XOR operations to obtain I and Q branch signals containing spectral spurs. Since the spurs are located in non-disturbing bands, they can be filtered out resulting in the desired output signal.

摘要： A novel system and method for correcting the residual phase offset between a recovered pilot signal and the received stereo signal. The invention uses a Costas loop as an auxiliary loop in addition to the pilot recovery phase locked loop (PLL) to lock onto the stereo component itself. This auxiliary loop functions to generate a pilot to stereo component phase correction signal that is added to the stereo carrier phase The resultant phase is used to generate the recovered pilot carrier used to demodulate the stereo MPX signal. The Costas loop is activated together with the main pilot recovery PLL that locks onto the pilot tone in the demodulated MPX signal. The auxiliary Costas loop is operative to track and determine a residual phase error of up to several degrees.

摘要： A novel and useful apparatus for and method of packet detection and carrier frequency offset estimation. The packet detection mechanism is robust to channels and sustains reasonable miss-detect (and false alarm) rates at low SNR values. The mechanism uses a modified combined cross correlation and delay and correlate scheme. A delay and correlate scheme is used in order to handle the effects of multipath while swapping integration and multiplication to increase cross-correlation factors resulting in improved sensitivity in low SNR conditions. Correlation is divided into multiple chains to generate a plurality of partial correlations to observe short patterns in the spread sequence resulting in improved performance in long multipath channels.
