Patent number: 9614575Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed to couple a transmission amplifier and a reception amplifier to a shared medium. An output of the transmission amplifier is directly coupled to an input of the reception amplifier to form a common connection. The transmission amplifier and the reception amplifier may receive a first amplifier bias via the common connection. In response to the first amplifier bias, the transmission amplifier provides a first communication signal to the shared medium and the reception amplifier does not provide a second communication signal from the shared medium. Alternatively, the transmission amplifier and the reception may receive a second amplifier bias via the common connection. In response to the second amplifier bias, the reception amplifier provides the second communication signal from the shared medium and the transmission amplifier does not provide the first communication signal to the shared medium.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2009Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) Pte.

Patent number: 9166540Abstract: A system includes a weighting element, a transconductance circuit, a feedback loop, and an auxiliary loop. In some implementations, the transconductance circuit may accept an input and provide a first portion of an output for amplification at a variable amplification level to generate an amplifier output. The feedback loop may provide a portion of the amplifier output as a first feedback to the input. The first feedback may be associated with an impedance that may vary with the amplification level. The auxiliary loop may provide a second feedback to the input to reduce the dependence of the impedance on the amplification level.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2013Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Giuseppe Cusmai, Vijayaramalingam Periasamy, Xi Chen, Ramon Alejandro Gomez

Patent number: 9030341Abstract: Various multi-lane ADCs are disclosed that substantially compensate for impairments present within various signals that result from various impairments, such as phase offset, amplitude offset, and/or DC offset to provide some examples, such that their respective digital output samples accurately represent their respective analog inputs. Generally, the various multi-lane ADCs determine various statistical relationships, such as various correlations to provide an example, between these various signals and various known calibration signals to quantify the phase offset, amplitude offset, and/or DC offset that may be present within the various signals. The various multi-lane ADCs adjust the various signals to substantially compensate for the phase offset, amplitude offset, and/or DC offset based upon these various statistical relationships such that their respective digital output samples accurately represent their respective analog inputs.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Loke Tan, Steven Jaffe, Hong Liu, Lin He, Randall Perlow, Peter Cangiane, Ramon Gomez, Giuseppe Cusmai

Patent number: 9008248Abstract: Systems and methods for demodulating a plurality of contiguous channels contained within a bandlimited portion of a radio-frequency (RF) input signal are provided. In an embodiment, the bandlimited portion of the RF input signal is down-converted to baseband. After down-conversion, the bandlimited portion overlaps at baseband with a mirror image of the bandlimited portion. The plurality of contiguous channels within the down-converted signal similarly overlap at baseband and subsequently occupy a bandwidth substantially equal to half that required before down-converting. Image rejection is performed in the digital domain to recover each of the plurality of overlapping channels.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2009Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Francesco Gatta, Ramon Gomez, Leonard Dauphinee, Young Joon Shin, Hanli Zou, Massimo Brandolini, Giuseppe Cusmai
