  • Patent number: 11777459
    Abstract: A front-end module of a wireless device can replace a passive duplexer with an active duplexer that uses metamaterial matching circuits. The active duplexer can be formed from a power amplifier circuit and a low noise amplifier circuit that each include a metamaterial matching circuit. The combination of a power amplifier circuit and a low noise amplifier circuit that each utilize metamaterials to form the associated matching circuit can provide the functionality of a duplexer without including the additional circuitry of a stand-alone or passive duplexer. Thus, in certain cases, the front-end module can provide duplexer functionality without including a separate duplexer. Advantageously, in certain cases, the size of the front-end module can be reduced by eliminating the passive duplexer. Further, the loss introduced into the signal path by the passive duplexer is eliminated improving the performance of the communication system that includes the active duplexer.

  • Patent number: 11777703
    Abstract: A line card in a network box receives a SyncE clock signal and an input synchronization (SYNC) signal. A phase-lock loop (PLL) in the line card receives the SyncE clock signal as a reference clock signal and generates an output SyncE clock signal. The line card regenerates a SYSCLK signal using a digitally controlled oscillator that receives a timing signal from the SyncE PLL and receives a control signal from control logic on the line card. The frequency and phase information contained in the SYNC signal is utilized to control the DCO. The SYSCLK signal is divided to generate an output SYNC signal. The control logic uses the time difference between the input SYNC signal and a SYNC feedback signal to control the DCO to provide a zero delay SYNC output signal. The output SYNC signal and the SYSCLK signal control a time of day counter in the line card.

  • Patent number: 11774601
    Abstract: A test device determines time error in a fronthaul network of a radio access network. A first Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver receives GNSS signals from a GNSS satellite through a reference GNSS signal distribution system (GSDS) having a known signal propagation delay. The first GNSS receiver calculates and outputs a corresponding reference One Pulse Per Second (1PPS) signal. A second GNSS receiver receives the GNSS signals through a device under test including a GSDS having an unknown signal propagation delay. The second GNSS receiver calculates and outputs a corresponding DUT 1PPS signal. The test device determines the unknown signal propagation delay of the DUT by comparing the reference 1PPS signal to the DUT 1PPS signal.
