    摘要: A method includes transmitting, by a transceiver configured to concurrently transmit over multiple transmit paths and receive over multiple receive paths, one or more signals, the transceiver comprising multiple transmit antennas and multiple receive antennas. The method also includes, for at least one of the multiple receive antennas: receiving one or more feedback signals from one or more power amplifiers associated with the one or more transmitted signals; calculating one or more estimated self-interference (SI) signals based on the one or more feedback signals using an equalizer array comprising a predetermined channel model; and subtracting the one or more estimated SI signals from one or more receive signals received at the at least one receive antenna to obtain one or more residual signals.

    摘要: Methods and devices for radio frequency (RF) loopback for transceivers are described. A transceiver for communicating RF signals with a target device may transmit signals at a transmit frequency and receive signals at a (different) receive frequency. The transceiver may include a waveguide diplexer for separating and combining signals based on frequency. The transceiver may be configured to couple a loopback signal from a common port of the waveguide diplexer; the loopback signal may be based on a transmit signal. The transceiver may include a loopback translator to translate the loopback signal from the transmit frequency to the receive frequency and provide the translated loopback signal to a receiver used for receiving signals from the target device. The receiver may compare the translated loopback signal with a representation of the transmit signal to generate a compensation signal. A transmitter may use the compensation signal to adjust subsequent transmit signals.

    摘要: A method of optimizing at least one IQMC parameter value for an IQMC includes: generating a set of tested IQMC candidate parameter values by performing an iterative method including selecting a first IQMC candidate parameter value for the at least one parameter of the IQMC; determining, using the first IQMC candidate parameter value, a performance metric value that comprises at least one of (i) an image rejection ratio (IRR) value, (ii) a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) value, or (iii) a signal-to-image ratio (SImR) value; and determining a second IQMC candidate parameter value that is an update to the first IQMC candidate parameter value. The method of optimizing at least one IQMC parameter value for an IQMC further includes determining an IQMC candidate parameter value of the set of tested IQMC candidate parameter values that optimizes the performance metric.
