Publication number: 20060291583Abstract: A programmable transmitter generates a frame in a frame format according to one of a plurality of operating modes using a frame structure table storing a respective frame format for each of the operating modes. The transmitter includes a frame structure engine that receives a mode selection signal indicative of a select operating mode, and accesses the frame structure table to determine the frame format of the select operating mode. The frame structure engine produces a control signal to a frame generator to control the generation of a frame in the frame format of the select operating mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2005Publication date: December 28, 2006Inventors: Joachim Hammerschmidt, Bruce Edwards, Venkat Kodavati, R.

Publication number: 20060221905Abstract: A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) RF transceiver system includes a plurality of RF transceiver ICs, a crystal, and master oscillation coupling. Each of the plurality of RF transceiver ICs includes crystal oscillator circuitry. Crystal oscillator circuitry of the first RF transceiver IC and a crystal are operable to produce a master oscillation. Master oscillation coupling couples the master oscillation produced by the first RF transceiver IC to the at least one other RF transceiver IC. In one embodiment, the master oscillation is passed from the first RF transceiver IC to each other transceiver RF ICs. In another embodiment, the master oscillation is used to produce a slave oscillation at a second RF transceiver IC and subsequent RF transceiver ICs produce there own slave oscillation based upon a slave oscillation received from a prior RF transceiver IC.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2005Publication date: October 5, 2006Inventors: Arya Behzad, Jason Trachewsky, R.

Publication number: 20060198477Abstract: The present invention provides a method for carrier detection associated with the receipt of MIMO RF packet communications. This involves receiving multiple MIMO RF packet communications with multiple receiver pathways, wherein the RF packet communications each comprise a preamble and data. The RF packet communications are sampled by a carrier detector before, during or after conversion to baseband. The carrier detectors are used to produce a set of carrier detection metrics for each reception pathway. These carrier detection metrics may be combined arithmetically with those of other reception pathways to produce a multi-reception pathway carrier detect. Alternatively, these carrier detection metrics can be processed to produce a logical decision or binary detection signal value associated with each reception pathway, which is then logically combined with the logical decisions of other reception pathways to produce a multi-reception pathway carrier detect.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2005Publication date: September 7, 2006Inventors: R.

Publication number: 20060193410Abstract: The present invention provides a method for automated gain control associated with the receipt of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radio frequency (RF) packet communications. This involves receiving multiple MIMO RF packet communications with multiple receiver pathways, wherein the RF packet communications each comprise a preamble and data. A gain is applied to the RF packet communication with a programmable gain amplifier operable to adjust the gain based on received control signals from the baseband processing module. The RF packet communication(s) are down converted to produce a baseband packet communication. This communication in then converted from an analog signal to a digital signal. The digital signal is sampled for a valid preamble. The results of the sampled digital signal are used to produce a control signals to the programmable gain amplifier based on the sampling of the digital signal and upstream analog signals associated with the RF packet communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2005Publication date: August 31, 2006Inventors: R.
