Publication number: 20140369451Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for a direct sampling receiver having high dynamic range and low noise figure with a continuous-time (CT) multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) architecture. In a multipath architecture, the input signal is sampled in the quantizer path, but not the CT signal path. In the CT signal path, only a filtered residue signal is sampled. Coarse bits generated in the quantizer path and fine bits generated in the input signal path are digitally combined to reconstruct the analog input signal in the digital domain. Filtering, aperture error control and digital equalization remove sources of errors, resulting in high performance. Advantages include toleration of multiple blocker signals, simultaneous reception of multiple weak channels and/or strong and weak channels, operation with simplified gain control and reduced pre-amplification as well as operation without excessive power consumption, external filters and tunable local oscillator (LO).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2013Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: Jiangfeng Wu, Binning Chen

Patent number: 8717209Abstract: Various pipeline ADCs are disclosed that substantially compensate for interference or distortion that results from imperfections with various ADC modules of the pipeline ADCs. The pipeline ADCs include various ADC stages and various compensation stages that are coupled to the various ADC stages. The various ADC stages convert their corresponding analog inputs from an analog signal domain to a digital signal domain to provide various digital output signals and various analog residual signals to subsequent ADC stages. The various compensation stages compensate for interference or distortion that is impressed onto the various analog residual signals which results from imperfections within previous ADC stages.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2012Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Jiangfeng Wu, Tianwei Li, Wenbo Liu, Wei-Ta Shih, Chun-Ying Chen, Lin He, Randall Perlow, Binning Chen, Ramon Gomez

Patent number: 8248536Abstract: The invention provides techniques for separating luma and chroma signal components in a composite SECAM video signal. During reception, the SECAM video signal is split into luma and chroma output. The amplitude of the chroma carrier is monitored during reception. If the chroma carrier amplitude is greater than a threshold, the value of the chroma output can be reduced. Also, if the chroma carrier amplitude is greater than another threshold, a portion of the chroma carrier can be added to the luma; or the trap band of the band-trap filter for extracting luma from the composite video can be reduced. The respective amount of the reduction in the chroma output and the increase in the luma output are independently determined but both may proportional to the magnitude of the deviation in the chroma carrier amplitude from the different thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2006Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: ATI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dongsheng Wu, Robert B. Prozorov, Huijuan Liu, Christopher D. Jurado, Daniel Zhu, Binning Chen

Patent number: 7750978Abstract: An audio/video separator provides a high-performance and cost-effective solution to analog TV reception with only one A/D converter and a minimum of analog IF components. The apparatus may operate on a digitized TV signal and, when integrated with a digital video processor, process video signals while separating audio signals. The resultant audio and video signals may be considered to have excellent signal quality due to highly optimized demodulation architecture and digital signal processing techniques on both audio and video data paths.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2009Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Daniel Q.
