Abstract: An system includes a port to receive a number of bits at a first frequency. One or more cells generate a signal for a channel with a channel frequency that is N times greater than the first frequency. The cells transmit at a second frequency that is M times greater than the first frequency but is smaller than the channel frequency. Interface links are coupled between a portion of the input bits of the port and the one or more cells and the portion of the input bits is encoded by thermometer coded T bits such that each one of the T bits is encoded by M repeated parallel bits having a value of a respective T bit. Each interface link includes M interface lines between each T bit and each first cell, and M is smaller than N to reduce the number of interface lines for the T bits.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first circuit to receive a first input data, a second input data and coefficients, generate a first distortion term and a second distortion term based, respectively on the first input data and the coefficients and the second input data and the coefficients, and change a polarity of the first distortion term and the second distortion term.

Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for utilizing a thin-film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) as a frequency reference for a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit controlling frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). In some implementations, the FBAR-based oscillator may be used as a reference to an analog or digital PLL circuit (either directly, or divided to a lower frequency). In other implementations, the FBAR-based oscillator may be used as a reference to a mixing-based PLL rather than a dividing-based PLL. Through these implementations, the noise contribution of many of the PLL circuit components or elements may be reduced (e.g. noise from a delta-sigma modulator (DSM), multiple modulus divider (MMD), phase frequency detector (PFD)/charge pump (CP), etc.).

Abstract: A wireless communication device includes an antenna to receive a signal, a low noise amplifier, and circuitry that determines the power level of the signal. The circuitry also determines whether the signal includes a packet, and causes the low noise amplifier to amplify the signal when the signal includes a packet and the power level of the signal is below a threshold. The circuitry also causes the low noise amplifier to be bypassed when the signal does not include a packet, or the power level of the signal is above the predetermined threshold and the signal includes a packet.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are related to systems and methods for performing predistortion for communication. In one aspect, a coupler coupled to an output port of a power amplifier is disabled during a first time period, while a transmitter coupled to an input port of the power amplifier outputs a first transmit radio frequency (RF) signal. In one aspect, one or more first interference signals due to the first transmit RF signal are determined. In one aspect, the coupler is enabled during a second time period, while the transmitter outputs a second transmit RF signal. In one aspect, one or more second interference signals due to the second transmit RF signal are estimated, according to the determined one or more first interference signals. Based on the estimated one or more second interference signals, non-linearity of the power amplifier can be determined, and predistortion can be performed according to the determined non-linearity.

Abstract: Systems and method provided herein relate to reducing distortion of signals introduced by components on a phase path of a radio frequency system polar architecture. To reduce phase path distortion, a pre-distortion is introduced prior to a distortion caused by the components on the phase path. The pre-distortion in conjunction with the component distortion results in a transmission signal that forms its expected shape.

The WMC device may configure routes utilizing one or more of discovered resources and one or more available networks. The routes may be utilized to performed operations requested via the WMC device.

The standardized language and/or protocol may be updated and/or modified to incorporate new resources either by direct interactions between the new resources and the WMC device, or via existing available resources and/or networks. The discovery of resources and/or establishment of routes may be user-triggered, or it may be based on user preference information.
