    摘要: A communication method and a system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) are provided. The system may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The method includes receiving, from a base station, scheduling information for a first uplink packet transmission in a first time slot, determining whether the first uplink packet transmission in the first time slot is restricted based on information corresponding to a second uplink packet transmission in the first time slot of another terminal, and if the first uplink packet transmission in the first time slot is restricted, skipping the first uplink packet transmission in a first time slot.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture for wideband and fast chirp generation for radar systems are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a phase digital-to-analog converter to convert a digital input that specifies at least one of a phase modulation or a frequency modulation into an analog output, and to generate a phase modulated output centered on an intermediate frequency. The example apparatus also includes a frequency multiplier to frequency multiply the phase modulated output centered on the intermediate frequency by a multiplication factor to generate a chirp signal.

    摘要: A locked loop circuit is disclosed. The locked loop circuit includes phase detection circuitry to generate a first error output based on a phase difference between a first reference input and a locked-loop output. Summing circuitry receives the first error output and a second error signal. The second error signal is based on one from a selection of error values. Oscillator/delay circuitry generates the locked-loop output. For a first mode of operation, the second error signal is based on a first selected error value. For a second mode of operation, the second error signal is based on a second selected error value different than the first selected error value.

    摘要: A polar transmitter provided for transmitting a phase/frequency modulated and amplitude modulated transmit signal and a method for generating a transmit signal using a polar transmitter are described. An example polar transmitter comprises a phase locked loop for generating a phase/frequency modulated precursor of the transmit signal. The phase locked loop comprises at its input a phase error detection unit for detecting a phase error of the precursor fed back from the output of the phase locked loop to the phase error detection unit as a feedback signal. The polar transmitter comprises a digital amplitude modulator for amplitude modulation of the precursor, resulting in the transmit signal. The digital amplitude modulator is arranged within the phase locked loop for amplitude modulation of the precursor before being output by the PLL. The phase error detection unit is further provided for detecting the amplitude of the feedback signal.

    摘要: An in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) demodulator includes an input for receiving a signal, a reference frequency source, and a sampler connected with the input. The sampler includes a sampler strobe connected with the reference frequency source, and a non-linear transmission line (NLTL) connected with the sampler strobe. The NLTL receives a strobe signal generated by the sampler strobe and multiplies a frequency of the strobe signal to generate a sampler signal. When the sampler receives a signal from the input, the sampler is configured to generate and output an intermediate frequency (IF) signal using the sampler signal. A splitter of the demodulator separates the IF signal into an in-phase (I) component and a quadrature (Q) component. Mixers receive the I and Q components and generate I and Q output signals shifted 90° in phase.

    摘要: A mixer is connected to a signal generator and an antenna and outputs a signal at an intermediate frequency. A PLL demodulator subjects the signal at the intermediate frequency from the mixer to PLL demodulation. An amplifier amplifies a signal from the PLL demodulator. A detector detects an amount of shift occurring in the PLL demodulator. A detector detects a gain of the amplifier. An FSK demodulator subjects a signal from the amplifier to FSK demodulation. An AFC unit detects a frequency offset in the signal from the amplifier and causes the signal generator to make a correction for the frequency offset detected.
