Abstract: Methods and systems for determining clock signals for audio processing using different operating modes are provided. In one aspect, a transition control word is determined to transition from a first control word for a first operating mode to a second control word for the second operating mode. The transition control word may be used to process the received audio signal while transitioning between the operating modes. After the transition, the second control word may be used to process the received audio signal using the second operating mode. The transition control word may be used to transition between various aspects of the operating modes, including different frequencies or resolutions, control systems, power levels, and more.

Abstract: A system for reducing a local oscillator leakage component. The system includes a transmitter channel to transmit data modulated using a transmitter local oscillator frequency. A transmitted signal includes a transmitter local oscillator leakage component. The system also includes a receiver channel to receive the transmitted signal using a receiver local oscillator signal having a frequency offset from the transmitter local oscillator frequency. The received signal includes the transmitter local oscillator leakage component isolated from one or more receiver impairments. The system further includes a feedback loop from the receiver channel to the transmitter channel to identify a power of the isolated transmitter local oscillator leakage component and to generate a local oscillator leakage cancellation signal based on the identified power.
