Abstract: A configurable frequency conversion device includes an up-converter, which is arranged to convert an input transmit signal to an interim transmit signal at an intermediate transmit frequency and to convert the interim transmit signal to an output transmit signal at an output frequency. A down-converter is arranged to convert an input receive signal at an input frequency to an interim receive signal at an intermediate receive frequency and to convert the interim receive signal to an output receive signal. Local Oscillator (LO) generation circuitry is arranged to generate multiple LO signals having respective LO frequencies and is coupled to drive the up- and down-converter with the LO signals, and is externally configurable to modify one or more of the LO frequencies so as to modify any of the output frequency, the input frequency, and a separation between the output and input frequencies without changing the intermediate receive and transmit frequencies.

Abstract: A method for jointly designing a transmitter pulse-shaping filter and a receiver pulse-shaping filter having respective filter coefficients includes defining one or more performance-related variables based on at least some of the filter coefficients of the transmitter and receiver pulse-shaping filters. One or more constraints applicable to one or more of the filter coefficients and variables are set. A cost function defined over the variables is evaluated. Optimized filter coefficient values of the transmitter and receiver pulse-shaping filters are jointly calculated by applying an optimization process to the cost function while meeting the one or more constraints.

Abstract: A receiver includes an input circuit, which is coupled to at least one antenna so as to receive, process and digitize first and second signals, thus generating first and second streams of input samples. An interference cancellation circuit in the receiver includes first and second adaptive filters, which are respectively coupled to filter the first and second streams of input samples using respective first and second coefficients to generate respective first and second filter outputs. A phase rotator is adapted to apply a variable phase shift compensating for a phase deviation between the first and second signals, the phase rotator having at least one configuration parameter. A control module is operative to estimate signal characteristics of the interference cancellation circuit and to set the at least one configuration parameter of the phase rotator responsively to the estimated signal characteristics.
