An example method includes receiving a set of input pulse responses in one or more unit interval (UI) spaced samples. The set of input pulse responses is generated based on measuring a signal histogram of a receiver of a pulse amplitude modulation analog signal. The method further includes receiving a set of voltage range constraints and generating a matrix based at least in part on an element-wise trigonometric-based operation performed on one or more products of each element of the set of input pulse responses and the set of voltage range constraints. The method further includes generating an eye diagram probability density function based on the matrix and computing an eye diagram based on the eye diagram probability density function, the voltage range constraints, and time data associated with the one or more unit interval spaced samples.

  • Patent number: 11362704
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may configure a first sub-band and a second sub-band of a system bandwidth for communication with a user equipment (UE). The base station may determine a spatial quasi co-location (QCL) relationship between the first sub-band and the second sub-band and may transmit signaling to the UE that indicates the determined spatial QCL relationship. Upon receiving the signaling, the UE may derive, based on the indicated spatial QCL relationship, spatial parameters (e.g., beam width, pointing angle, etc.) for communication with the base station via the second sub-band. The spatial parameters may be derived based on spatial parameters used for reception of a downlink transmission from the base station via the first sub-band. Subsequently, the UE may communicate with the base station via the second sub-band using the derived spatial parameters.
