Patents by Inventor Ram S. Kanumalli

Ram S. Kanumalli has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10666370
    Abstract: An apparatus of a wireless device can include baseband processing circuitry configured to generate a digitized downconverted signal based on a received radio frequency (RF) signal. The apparatus can also include estimation circuitry configured to detect a blocker signal in the downconverted signal, the blocker signal having power that exceeds a pre-determined threshold, and map the detected blocker signal to a plurality of harmonic frequencies associated with two or more carrier frequencies. The apparatus can include reference signal generation circuitry configured to generate a reference signal based on the plurality of harmonic frequencies and the received RF signal. The apparatus can include cancellation circuitry configured to apply a pre-processed reference signal (based on the reference signal) to the digitized downconverted signal to remove distortion associated with the detected blocker signal. The digitized downconverted signal is a baseband signal or an intermediate frequency (IF) signal.

  • Patent number: 10097220
    Abstract: Examples provide a device, an apparatus, a method, a computer program, a receiver, a mobile terminal and a base station. An interference detection device (10) is configured to generate an auxiliary interference signal for a multi-carrier receive signal. The device (10) comprises a generator (12) configured to generate a plurality of oscillator signals. The plurality of oscillator signals comprises at least a first oscillator signal with a first local oscillator frequency. The plurality of oscillator signals further comprises a second oscillator signal with a second local oscillator frequency. The device (10) further comprises a plurality of subsequent mixers. A first mixer (14) is configured to mix the multi-carrier receive signal with the first oscillator signal to output a first mixed signal. A second mixer (16) is configured to mix a second mixed signal with the second oscillator signal to output the auxiliary interference signal.
