An architecture for use in wireless receiver applications, particularly for ADC conversion of received in-phase I and quadrature Q signals. A single ADC is shared to convert both signals, and the ADC input is alternately switched between the i and q signals. In an embodiment, the ADC is clocked at an increased sample rate, and the digital output signals are aligned to compensate for the phase difference resulting from the implementation of the single ADC.

A simplified architecture is disclosed for ADC conversion of received in-phase I and quadrature Q signals. Circuit area is substantially reduced by sharing a single ADC to convert both signals, switching the ADC input alternately between the i and q signals. In an embodiment, the ADC is clocked at an increased sample rate, and the digital output signals are aligned to compensate for the phase difference resulting from the implementation of a single ADC. Aligning includes delaying one of the digital signals, and interpolating the other one of the digital signals in a low pass filter so as to compensate for the phase difference introduced by the sampling during the first and second time intervals. The first and second time intervals are equal to a predetermined ADC sample period corresponding to a sample clock cycle. Delaying the first digital signal includes a delay of 1/2 clock cycle.

A system includes a signal processing module and a control module. The signal processing module receives a first clear channel assessment (CCA) signal for a first sub-channel of a communication channel, increases a pulse width of the first CCA signal by a predetermined period of time, and generates a second CCA signal. The control module receives the second CCA signal and a third CCA signal for a second sub-channel of the communication channel. The control module transmits data via one of the second sub-channel and the communication channel based on the second and third CCA signals.

A device comprises a first circuit that generates a first phase component and a second phase component. A pipelined analog to digital converter comprises N stages, wherein N is an integer greater than one. At least one of the N stages includes a sample and integrate circuit that selectively samples the first phase component and integrates a sampled second phase component to generate an integrated second phase component during one portion of a first clock phase of the sample and integrate circuit, and that selectively integrates the sampled first phase component to generate an integrated first phase component and samples the second phase component to generate the sampled second phase component during another portion of the first clock phase of the sample and integrate circuit.

A wireless network device includes a correlation module, an automatic gain control module, and a control module. The correlation module correlates a predetermined portion of a radio frequency (RF) signal and generates a correlation signal based thereon. The automatic gain control (AGC) module generates a gain control signal based on said RF signal. The control module selectively determines whether said RF signal is a radar signal based on said correlation signal and said gain control signal.

A feedback equalizer includes a summing unit having an output and first input for receiving a modulated signal, which includes a symbol defined by a first number of chips. A subsymbol processor is coupled to the output of the summing unit. The symbol processor is capable of generating a subsymbol waveform upon receipt of a second number of chips of the symbol. The second number is less than the first number. A feedback filter is coupled to a second input of the summing unit and the symbol processing unit to selectively filter the subsymbol waveform from the modulated signal.

A correlator comprises a plurality of phase rotators, a plurality of combining modules, a plurality of computation modules, and a selection module. The plurality of phase rotators selectively modifies phase for each chip of a first subset of chips by one of M phase offsets, where an incoming symbol comprises the first subset and a second subset of chips, and where M is an integer greater than one. The plurality of combining modules each combine a chip of the first subset with a respective chip of the second subset to generate an output. The plurality of computation modules includes inputs that communicate with the outputs of the plurality of combining modules and produces a plurality of correlator output signals. The selection module chooses one of the plurality of correlator output signals based upon a metric.

A method and an apparatus for selecting an antenna from an antenna diversity array in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes the steps of modulating an incoming signal with a spread-spectrum type modulation, measuring a signal quality value for each antenna in the antenna diversity array, and selecting an antenna from the antenna diversity array on the basis of the measured signal quality values. The step of measuring a signal quality value for each antenna may include computing peak-to-average ratio values by dividing a peak sample value by an average sample value, where the average sample value is determined by averaging all of the predetermined number of sample values for each of the plurality of incoming spreading codewords, and the peak sample value is determined by selecting the maximum of all of the predetermined number of sample values for each of the plurality of incoming spreading codewords.
