Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and non-transitory media facilitate image rejection for a radio frequency signal with a wideband carrier. Wideband signals from a device may be analyzed, the wideband signals corresponding to a wideband channel. Each wideband signal may correspond to a sinusoidal electrical signal with IQ amplitude and phase modulation. An in-phase component (I) of a wideband signal may be determined. A quadrature component (Q) of the wideband signal may be determined. Based on the determined I and Q, a wideband IQ imbalance may be determined. A scalar error based on the wideband IQ imbalance may be obtained. The scalar error may be mapped to a vector error plane. Orthogonal error vector points that are based on the mapping may be determined. The wideband IQ imbalance of the device may be compensated based on adjusting an IQ setting of the device with the orthogonal error vector points.

Abstract: Provided are M signal processors that respectively generate modulated signals for M reception apparatuses (where M is an integer equal to 2 or greater), a multiplexing signal processor, and N antenna sections (where N is an integer equal to 1 or greater). When transmitting multiple streams, each of the M signal processors generates two mapped signals, generates first and second precoded signals by precoding the two mapped signals, periodically changes the phase of signal points in the IQ plane with respect to the second precoded signal, outputs the phase-changed signal, and outputs the first precoded signal and the phase-changed second precoded signal as two modulated signals. When transmitting a single stream, each of the M signal processor outputs a single modulated signal. The multiplexing signal processor multiplexes the modulated signals output from the M signal processors, and generates N multiplexed signals. The N antenna sections respectively transmit the N multiplexed signals.

Abstract: A constant amplitude Radio Frequency (RF) signal is created by ordering complex information bearing symbols in the frequency domain along with their complex conjugates, and performing an inverse Fourier transform. This produces an analytic real-only transformed baseband signal. The real-only baseband signal is used to linearly vary the phase angle of a carrier wave while its amplitude remains constant. After reception, multi-path distortion is canceled. A time series of recovered phase angle is un-transformed with a FFT (fast Fourier transform) to produce I (in-phase) and Q (quadrature) samples. Demodulation occurs in a receiver by recovering carrier's phase angle vs. time. Forward error correction may be applied to data if desired. This may be called PM-OFDM (Phase Modulated-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing).

Abstract: Systems and methods of reducing SNR and increasing bandwidth of received signals are disclosed. LNAs receive signals from an antenna via a common input matching network. The amplified signals are downconverted, filtered and digitized before being coherently combined at a DSP. Depending on the LO frequencies used by mixers in the different receiver paths, the combined signals reduce the SNR when the LO frequencies are the same by reducing the non-correlated noise introduced by the LNAs or increase the bandwidth processed when the LO frequencies are different. The bandwidths are contiguous or non-contiguous.

Abstract: Systems and methods for low-power auto-correlation antenna selection for multi-antenna systems are disclosed. In particular, a computing device, such as an Internet of Things (IoT) computing device, may include a transceiver operating with multiple antennas. For example, the computing device may operate under a low-power wireless standard such as Long Range BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY (LR BLE). In an exemplary aspect, an antenna from amongst the multiple antennas may be selected based on which antenna is receiving a best copy of a periodic signal. The periodic signal is likely indicative of a preamble pattern and, as such, may be used to activate a cross-correlation circuit for signal detection confirmation. Power consumption is reduced by delaying activation of the cross-correlation circuit until a likely signal is detected by detection of the periodic signal.
