  • Systems and methods for distributing content
    Patent number: 11153661
    Abstract: A processor of a broadcasting selects an encoding method for a first broadcast based on a first broadcast characteristic, wherein the encoding method is a default encoding method when the first broadcast characteristic is not recognized by the system, and transmits the first broadcast, encoded using the encoding method, to a playback device. The processor further uses a feedback control loop to dynamically adjust parameters of the encoding method to optimize a metric related to quality and a bitrate of the encoded first broadcast. The processor transmits a second broadcast encoded using the encoding method having the adjusted parameters to the playback device.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLOCK SPUR SUPPRESSION IN DIRECT-RF MODULATORS
    Publication number: 20120121036
    Abstract: Methods and systems to reduce clock spurs produced by a direct-RF modular to acceptable levels using a digital predistortion compensation signal. The digital compensation signal may be used to generate a sine wave in the digital domain with adjustable phase and amplitude. The digital compensation signal may be added to a digital signal processor (DSP) section of an upconvertor, and may be combined with the undesired clock spur signal to reduce it or even cancel it out completely. In some implementations, the digital predistortion compensation signal may have a similar level of the clock spur such that when added to the clock spur, results in a clock spur having a reduced amplitude.
