  • Patent number: 11706060
    Abstract: A serial receiver combines continuous-time equalization, analog interleaving, and discrete-time gain for rapid, efficient data reception and quantization of a serial, continuous-time signal. A continuous-time equalizer equalizes a received signal. A number N of time-interleaved analog samplers sample the equalized continuous-time signal to provide N streams of analog samples transitioning at rate reduced by 1/N relative to the received signal. A set of N discrete-time variable-gain amplifiers amplify respective streams of analog samples. A quantizer then quantizes the amplified streams of analog samples to produce a digital signal.

  • Patent number: 11689256
    Abstract: Example channel measurement methods and communications apparatus are described. One example method includes receiving a precoded reference signal by a terminal device, where the precoded reference signal is obtained by precoding a reference signal based on K angle vectors and L delay vectors. First indication information is generated and sent, where the first indication information is used to indicate P weighting coefficients corresponding to P angle-delay pairs. The P weighting coefficients are determined by using the precoded reference signal. The P angle-delay pairs and the P weighting coefficients corresponding to the P angle-delay pairs are used to determine a precoding matrix. Each angle-delay pair includes one of the K angle vectors and one of the L delay vectors. The K angle vectors and the L delay vectors are determined based on uplink channel measurement.

  • Patent number: 11665028
    Abstract: An integrated circuit equalizes a data signal expressed as a series of symbols. The symbols form data patterns with different frequency components. By considering these patterns, the integrated circuit can experiment with equalization settings specific to a subset of the frequency components, thereby finding an equalization control setting that optimizes equalization. Optimization can be accomplished by setting the equalizer to maximize symbol amplitude.

  • Patent number: 11664836
    Abstract: A received signal is enhanced by removing distortion components of a concurrently transmitted signal. A received signal is acquired in a receive frequency band concurrently with transmission of a transmit signal in a transmit frequency band. The received signal includes an intermodulation distortion component of the transmit signal. A representation of the transmit signal is processed using a non-linear predictor to output a distortion signal representing predicted distortion components in the received signal. The received signal is enhanced using the distortion signal by removing the predicted distortion components from the received signal corresponding to the distortion signal.
