Abstract: A method for a radar system includes transmitting, by a transmit channel of the radar system, a frame comprising first, second, and third chirps. Each chirp has a chirp start frequency, and the chirp start frequency of the transmitted chirps is dithered. The method also includes receiving, by a receive channel of the radar system, a frame of reflected chirps based on the transmitted frame, and generating a digital intermediate frequency (IF) signal.

Abstract: A WSP die having a redistribution layer (“RDL”) with an RDL capture pad that has an RDL pad central axis RR and a RDL pad outer peripheral edge arranged about the RDL capture pad central axis RR and an under bump metal (UBM) pad positioned above the RDL capture pad. The UBM pad has a UBM pad central axis UU and a UBM pad outer peripheral edge arranged around the UBM pad central axis UU. The UBM pad central axis UU is laterally offset from the RDL pad central axis RR.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a system for controlling carrier leakage in a communications device is provided. The system includes a first mixer unit operable to receive a first signal, to convert the first signal into a second signal having a higher frequency than the first signal, and to transmit the second signal. The system also includes a second mixer unit. The second mixer unit is operable to receive the second signal, to convert the second signal into an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal each having lower frequency than the second signal, and to transmit the in-phase signal and the quadrature signal. The system also includes a processor coupled to the first mixer and the second mixer.

Abstract: Estimation of gain and phase imbalance of an upconverting transmitter. A transmitter transmits symbols containing vector components of pre-specific relationship in an analog signal. A receiver (also contained in a transceiver along with the transmitter) examines the symbols to determine the phase and gain imbalances in the transmitter based on the analog signal. An aspect of the present invention enables the balance estimation circuit to be integrated along with the transmitter and the receiver into a single monolithic integrated circuit.
