  • Patent number: 11515859
    Abstract: An integrated circuit for generating an equalized signal, according to a channel, from serial data includes a shift register that extracts a symbol sequence from the serial data. A data storage stores values of an equalized digital signal corresponding to potential symbol sequences corresponding to a filter coefficient sequence. A lookup table outputs the equalized digital signal of a value corresponding to the extracted symbol sequence. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) converts the equalized digital signal into the equalized signal. A controller refreshes the lookup table, based on at least one of values stored in the data storage and values included in the lookup table, in response to a control signal.

  • Patent number: 11509338
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing offset compensation in a receiver with multiple offset compensation D/A converters. At each stage where offset cancellation is applied, there is a fan-out of two or more. At the final stage, comparator offset compensation codes are summed and compared against a digital reference. In one version the digital reference is zero. A second implementation has a non-zero digital reference which is the sum of comparator offsets stored from start up. The difference between the sum of offsets and digital reference is applied to a digital accumulator. The most significant bits of the digital accumulator are applied to a digital D/A converter, which cancel analog offsets in an intermediate stage of amplifiers. The summation of offsets feeding into an accumulator is implemented for all preceding stages.

  • Patent number: 11502740
    Abstract: A method for performing a listen-before-talk procedure in a first transceiver device (N1) for wireless electromagnetic communication in a frequency band (150) is disclosed. A first transceiver device (N1) configured to perform the method is also disclosed. The method comprises receiving at the first transceiver device (N1) a stream of data (11) from a second transceiver device (N2), and determining whether the second transceiver device (N2) is capable of receiving in only a single or in two polarization directions. If the second transceiver device (N2) is capable of receiving in two polarization directions, then the method comprises determining and using an energy threshold that is larger than a regulated energy threshold for listen-before-talk within the frequency band (150).

  • Patent number: 11502712
    Abstract: A signal transceiving system and a signal receiver thereof are provided. The signal transceiving system includes a signal transmitter. The signal transmitter includes a first data buffer, a comparator, and an encoder. The first data buffer receives transmitted data and provides previously transmitted data. The comparator receives currently transmitted data and receives the previously transmitted data. The comparator compares, in a first mode, the previously transmitted data with the currently transmitted data to generate a data variation information. The encoder generates, in the first mode, at least one index value and a corresponding instruction signal according to the data variation information. The signal transmitter sends the at least one index value which is a serial signal and the instruction signal to a signal receiver.

  • Patent number: 11496341
    Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may compensate input data for I/Q imbalance or noise related thereto to generate compensated input data. In doing such the above compensation, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide converted input data to a receiver stage including a recurrent neural network (RNN). The RNN may calculate an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate filter coefficient data associated with the I/Q imbalance. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to the RNN. During an uplink TTI, the converted input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

  • Patent number: 11483022
    Abstract: A wideband tunable frequency single-subband converter is proposed. The wideband frequency tunable converter operates within a wideband and tunable frequency range, and has process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) tracking capability. In one embodiment, the wideband converter comprises a frequency tunable polyphase filter having a plurality of switchable polyphase resistors. The polyphase resistors are controlled by a frequency tuning control signal to achieve wideband frequency tunability. In a preferred embodiment, a triode mode transistor is used as a polyphase resistor, and a different resistance value of the polyphase filter is realized by turning on one or multiple of the different transistors in triode mode. In addition, a constant Gm(R) bias generator is used to provide the gate biases to the triode mode transistors to maintain a constant and stable resistance value across PVT and other variation.
