Abstract: An interleaved analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) system may have timing errors in a time domain that is corrected using phase compensation in a phase domain. The ADC system may include sub-ADCs, each receiving a clock signal, which is associated with a representation of a timing skew value, reflecting an undesired timing error. A mixer may have sub-mixers, each receiving a sub-ADC output signal and a compensated numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) value. A combiner may combine the sub-mixer output signals. A decimator may decimate the output of the combiner. Each timing skew value is in a time domain. A compensated NCO value is determined using a respective phase skew value. Each phase skew value is an offset value in phase and is not a value in time. Each phase skew value in a phase domain compensates the respective timing skew value in a time domain. Multiple ADC systems and methods are described.

Abstract: A multi-channel, multi-band system for wireless communication includes a radio frequency (RF) front end, a mixed-signal front end for converting an incoming analog RF signal into an incoming digital RF signal and converting a composite outgoing digital RF signal into an outgoing analog RF signal, a summation circuit for combining multiple outgoing digital RF signals to the composite outgoing digital RF signal, and multi-band transceivers. Each of the multi-band transceivers may process the incoming digital RF signal to provide an incoming baseband signal and process an outgoing baseband signal to provide an outgoing digital RF signal. The mixed-signal front end may apply a loading control to each transceiver for adjusting an amount of loading on the transmit path from the transceiver to the mixed-signal front-end. The transceivers may individually conduct a feedback calibration on the receive path to optimize the incoming baseband signal for each band.

Abstract: Examples of systems and methods are provided for generating an output signal having an output code having less number of bits compared to an input signal having a thermometer code representation. The system may partition the input code bits into non-overlapping clusters. The system may generate a control signal for each of the clusters based on, at least in part, a logical OR operation over all bits in a corresponding one of the clusters. The system may determine a transition cluster comprising a 1/0 transition in the input code bits. The system may determine output code bits based on, at least in part, an input code bit pattern in the transition cluster and an identity of the transition cluster.
