  • Publication number: 20160295596
    Abstract: System, method, and apparatus embodiments are provided for a joint radio-frequency/baseband self-interference reduction system to obtain an intended signal in a full-duplex capable transceiver. In an embodiment, a method for reducing self-interference (SI) in a full-duplex capable transceiver includes obtaining an adjusted signal, wherein the adjusted signal is a difference signal between a received signal in an analog domain and an estimated SI, wherein the estimated SI is estimated according to an SI received at a receiver during a half-duplex operation; and obtaining an intended signal, wherein the intended signal is a difference signal between the adjusted signal in a digital domain and an estimated residual SI, and wherein the estimated residual SI is an amount of SI remaining in the adjusted signal after removal of the estimated SI from the received signal.

  • Publication number: 20160294532
    Abstract: System and method embodiments are provided for joint radio-frequency/baseband self-interference (SI) cancellation. In an embodiment, a method for reducing self-interference (SI) in a full duplex transmission system includes estimating a radio frequency (RF) SI signal according to a sampled received signal and a transmitted signal during a half-duplex operation; obtaining a corrected signal, wherein the corrected signal is a difference signal between an analog received signal and the estimated RF SI signal, and the corrected signal comprises an intended signal plus a residual SI signal; estimating the residual SI signal in a baseband during full duplex operation; and obtaining an intended signal, wherein the intended signal is a difference signal between the corrected signal in a digital domain and the estimated residual SI signal.

  • Patent number: 7643733
    Abstract: A delta type inverter is used in conjunction with a closed-loop motor controller to provide a control device for driving a three phase brushless direct current motor. The delta inverter has one-half of the solid state switching devices and diodes required by conventional bridge type inventers, thereby improved reliability, and enabling the motor control device to have reduced size, cost and weight. The closed-loop motor controller may include a torque loop for reducing torque ripple during operation of the motor.
