  • Patent number: 11728853
    Abstract: A wireless communication device includes first and second links. The first and second links respectively include first and second sets of antennae having an arrangement that renders a null space of a channel matrix between the first and second links non-zero. When the first and second links operate on a first frequency band, the first link obtains first channel state information that indicates a first channel measurement of a first set of channels observed from the second link to the first link. Based on the first channel state information, the first link determines a spatial mapping matrix that facilitates null steering of a signal transmission from the first link in a direction of the second link. The first link transmits to a remote device, a wireless signal on the first frequency band based on the spatial mapping matrix.

  • Patent number: 11728861
    Abstract: A wireless communication device that implements beamforming includes: a storage, a processor, and a radio circuit. The storage stores directivity information that indicates a directivity of a radio intensity obtained when beams are formed in a plurality of main lobe directions designated in advance. The processor calculates, based on the directivity information, an interference to a first beam from a second beam when an instruction to form the first beam and the second beam is given. The first beam is configured to transmit a first signal in a first main lobe direction. The second beam is configured to transmit a second signal in a second main lobe direction. The processor generates, based on the calculated interference, a cancellation signal for canceling the second signal in the first main lobe direction. The radio circuit transmits the first signal and the cancellation signal.

  • Patent number: 11709201
    Abstract: A time error vector is determined using pairs of two closest points of input-referred noise data that straddle respective crossing times indicating when a clock signal representation crosses a threshold value, a slew rate of the clock signal representation, and the crossing times. A system filter is applied to the time error vector in the frequency domain. A first RMS value is determined indicating a jitter value present in the filtered time error vector. A raw clock signal time error vector of the clock signal under test is generated, the system filter is applied to the raw clock signal time error vector in the frequency domain, and a second RMS value indicating a jitter content of the filtered raw clock signal time error vector is determined. The second RMS value is corrected using the first RMS value to thereby generate a jitter measurement compensated for input-referred noise.
