  • Patent number: 11695424
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a sampling circuit, a sense circuit, and a tuning circuit. The sampling circuit samples an input signal according to a sampling clock signal to produce a sampled signal. The sense circuit determines a scaling factor based on a distortion in the sampled signal caused by the sampling clock signal. The tuning circuit generates an offset signal based on the sampling clock signal and the scaling factor. The offset signal reduces the distortion in the sampled signal caused by the sampling clock signal.

  • Publication number: 20230054999
    Abstract: Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that facilitate low power, wideband multitone generation. In one example, a multitone generator device can comprise a controller operatively coupled to first and second digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The controller can apply different delays of a sampling signal to the first and second DACs to facilitate sideband suppression of signals output by the first and second DACs. One aspect of such a multitone generator device is that the multitone generator device can facilitate low power, wideband multitone generation.

  • Publication number: 20220413864
    Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products are provided for facilitating waveform synthesis. A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a composing component that compresses data defining a waveform by employing amplitude partitioning of the data using equivalent sizing. The composing component can further employ run-length encoding to generate a string of integers representing a plurality of groups of the data as partitioned according both to amplitude and progressing time. In an embodiment, a decoding component can employ a binary search to decode a running sum array of integers representing at least a portion of the data, to decompress the data.
