Patent number: 11671305Abstract: Precision synchronization is key to reliable communications at the high frequencies planned for 5G and 6G. A timing reference signal can provide a compact, resource-efficient, low-complexity phase noise mitigation while also providing an amplitude noise calibration. The timing reference signal is a QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) signal with an I branch multiplexed with an orthogonal Q branch, in which one of the branches is modulated according to a maximum amplitude level of the modulation scheme, and the other branch has zero amplitude as-transmitted. When received, the amplitude and phase may be altered by noise. The receiver can measure the overall magnitude of the received I and Q signals to mitigate amplitude noise, and can also calculate a phase rotation angle according to a ratio of the I and Q branch signals as-received, and thereby correct for phase noise in the message.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2023Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: ULTRALOGIC 6G, LLCInventors: David E. Newman, R. Kemp Massengill
