Patent number: 7421022Abstract: A continuous time electronic dispersion compensation architecture using feed forward equalization and a non-linear decision feedback equalization forms an output signal by a linear combination of successively delayed versions of the input signal and the sliced output signal weighted by appropriate coefficients. A selected number of taps in the mixer used to generate a corresponding number of coefficients for use in the feed forward equalizer are held to a selected voltage to ensure that the coefficients associated with these two taps do not drift. This causes the other coefficients to converge to a unique minimum square error value. In one embodiment the selected voltage is the maximum system voltage.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2005Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: Inphi CorporationInventors: Prashant Choudhary, Venugopal Balasubramonian, Jishnu Bhattacharjee, Debanjan Mukherjee, Abhijit Phanse, Abhijit Shanbhag, Qian Yu

Publication number: 20070064845Abstract: A compensation circuit and method for reducing ISI products within an electrical data signal corresponding to a detected data signal received via a signal transmission medium introduces distinct compensation effects for individual ISI products within the electrical data signal. Distinct data signal components within the detected data signal and corresponding to such ISI products can be selectively and individually compensated, thereby producing a compensated data signal in which each selected one of such individual data signal components is substantially removed. Individual data signal components or selected combinations of data signal components can be compensated as desired.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2006Publication date: March 22, 2007Applicant: SCINTERA NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Abhijit Phanse, Abhijit Shanbhag

Publication number: 20060082413Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to adaptively pre-distort a signal prior to being used by a non-linear circuit, such as a higher power amplifier (at transmit) or a low noise amplifier (at receive). The signal is compared with a feedback signal from the non-linear circuit and a metric is calculated and minimized. The input signal is adaptively changed, such as by varying tap coefficients, until the metric is sufficiently minimized, resulting in a pre-distorted signal that is substantially linear upon passing through the non-linear circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2005Publication date: April 20, 2006Inventor: Abhijit Shanbhag

Publication number: 20050271138Abstract: An apparatus and method for adaptively introducing a compensating signal latency related to a signal latency of a data symbol decision circuit. Adaptive timing control circuitry, including an interpolating mixer implemented as a tapped delay line with correlated tap coefficients, introduces a latency adaptively and substantially matching the latency of the data decision circuit for use within an adaptive equalizer, thereby minimizing the mean-squared error of such decision circuit. This adaptive latency is used in generating the feedback error signal which, in turn, can be used by the feedforward equalizer for dynamically adjusting its adaptive filter tap coefficients.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2005Publication date: December 8, 2005Applicant: Scintera Networks, Inc.Inventors: Qian Yu, Venugopal Balasubramonian, Jishnu Bhattacharjee, Debanjan Mukherjee, Abhijit Phanse, Abhijit Shanbhag, Edem Ibragimov, Fabian Giroud

Patent number: 6721349Abstract: The present invention is a novel and improved method and apparatus for reducing peak to average ratio in a system using auxiliary pilot channels as described in the TIA/EIA TR45.5 “cdma2000 ITU-R RTT Candidate Submission” to the ITU for consideration in the third generation wireless communication systems. A first method proposed in the present invention to deal with the above stated problem is to alter the phase of the auxiliary pilot channels to reduce to prevent the auxiliary pilot channels from adding constructively. A second method proposed in the present invention to deal with the above stated problem is to gate out the portion of the auxiliary pilot channels that add constructively. The present invention also proposes a novel demodulator design for receiving signals using the modified auxiliary pilot signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1999Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Serge Willenegger, Jack M.
