Abstract: Approaches provide for processing a communications signal, such as a wideband communications signal. For example, a communications signal can be received at an access device, such as a cable modem or a wireless transceiver/radio. The access device can include components operable to process the communications signal to enable access to, for example, video, data, voice, high-speed Internet services. At least some of the components include an echo cancellation component among other components to cancel interference (e.g., ACI, ALI). For example, the echo cancellation component can use trained filters and samples of the upstream signal, echoed samples of the transmitted signal, feedback signals of the echoed signal, etc., to estimate one or more types of interference. Thereafter, the estimated interference can be used to cancel interference at the access device.

Abstract: Approaches provide for determining spectral information for a communications signal, such as a wideband communications signal. For example, a communications signal (e.g., a wideband signal) is received at a set of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The output of the ADCs is divided into a set of segments. A center frequency for each segment is determined based on the segment bandwidth and a number of segments in the set. The segments can be filtered, buffered, and analyzed using at least one digital signal processing technique (e.g., Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) technique to generate a representation of the segments in the frequency domain. Thereafter, the spectrum of frequency components (i.e., the frequency-domain representation) of the segments can be used to determine the power spectral density of the communications signal for different resolutions based on a resolution mode of the system or other criteria of the system.

Abstract: Approaches provide for calibrating high speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). For example, a calibration signal can be applied to parallel ADCs. The output of the parallel ADCs can be analyzed using a set of filtering components configured to at least filter image components and cause a phase shift in the output signals. One or more delay adjustment components can cause a delay to at least the output of the parallel ADCs and the set of filtering components. A cross-correlating component can be utilized to cross-correlate the output of the parallel ADCs with an output signal of at least one filtering component of the set of filtering components and an output signal of at least one delay adjustment component of the set of delay adjustment components. A conversion component determines polar coordinates from rectangular coordinates from the output of the cross-correlating component.

Abstract: Approaches provide for calibrating high speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). For example, a calibration signal can be applied to parallel ADCs. The output of the parallel ADCs can be analyzed using a gradient-based optimization approach or other such optimization approach to determine optimized gain error calibration data to compensate for gain mismatch in and between individual parallel time-interleaved ADCs and to determine time-offset calibration data to compensate for timing errors in and between individual parallel time-interleaved ADCs. For example, once a calibration signal is applied to an ADC, the output of the ADC can be analyzed to determine a spectrum of the calibration signal. One or more images (e.g., phasors) of the spectrum can be determined and used to determine initial values of the optimization.

Abstract: An RF tuner is described for handling RF signals in a broad frequency range and a broad power range while maintaining high linearity and tolerating high power blockers. A continuous feedback loop comprising a substantially linear LNA and an RF RSSI can adjust the power of the RF signal on the RF side. A substantially linear, variable gain transconductor may convert and amplify the voltage of the RF signal to a current signal. The converted signal may be down converted and filtered to an IF or baseband signal. An IF or baseband RSSI may measure the power of the down converted and filtered signal. The measured power may be compared against a preferred value to adjust the amplification of the transconductor.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for calibrating transceivers by providing a stored index that was calculated of a race condition count. The race condition is based at least in part to a rat race between a clock signal and an input signal that has been sampled by a random or jitter signal. The stored index corresponds to a relative timing error between the clock signal and the sampled input signal. The stored index is used to scramble subsequent input signals that are thermo-coded signals, thereby eliminating timing errors.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for LNAs with high linearity and low noise for wideband receivers that receive high dynamic range signals. A multi-stage multipath LNA is disclosed in which outputs from various stages are amplified with variable gains and combined in parallel. A smart gain control unit evaluates the noise and non-linearity characteristics associated with each gain stage to configure the variable gains for the various stages to generate an overall LNA gain that minimizes the overall noise and/or non-linearity characteristics of the LNA while ensuring that the overall gain for the LNA satisfies the desired gain. The variable gains may be configured to change smoothly over the dynamic range of the input signal. Noise is minimized by reducing additional gain stages and by the smooth change in gain when switching between stages. High linearity performance is maintained by minimizing the number of gain stages combined.
