Abstract: A radio signal transmission technique includes selecting a sample rate from a plurality of predefined sample rates so that the radio signal is contained entirely within a Nyquist zone corresponding to the sample rate. A digitized signal is converted to an analog signal, spectrally enhanced, and passed through a selected one of a plurality of selectable bandpass filters to form the radio signal.

Abstract: The perceived sample rate at which a DAC can operate can be increased by allowing multiple DACs to process different portions of a digital signal in parallel. In this way, the outputs of multiple DACs can be combined into a single analog signal to achieve the desired speeds and resolutions of the analog output. This parallel processing can be implemented using a time-interleaving technique or a sub-band reconstruction technique. Pre-distortion can be applied to the digital input signal to compensate for degradation detected in the analog output signal. By applying pre-distortion, waveforms having high sampling rates can be efficiently generated.

Abstract: Various apparatuses and methods are described to reduce interference in signals subject to intermodulation products and high power narrow band interfering signals on lower power wideband signals. Apparatuses and methods described herein also provide the capability for supporting multi-standards, multi-modes and multi-bands in wireless and wired applications with a single receiver or a receiver with minor variations. The receiver described herein samples the entire band in which there can be signals of interest or signals that can generate interference. All of these signals are sampled in one bit stream and the bit stream is processed to isolate signals of interest and interfering signals. The isolated interfering signals are then cancelled out of the signals of interest.
