Abstract: A communication terminal includes first and second transmitters, which are coupled to produce respective first and second Radio Frequency (RF) signals that are phase-shifted with respect to one another by a beamforming phase offset, and to transmit the RF signals toward a remote communication terminal. The terminal includes a reception subsystem including first and second receivers and a phase correction unit. The first and second receivers are respectively coupled to receive third and fourth RF signals from the remote communication terminal. The phase correction unit is coupled to produce, responsively to the third and fourth RF signals, a phase correction for correcting an error component in the beamforming phase offset.

Abstract: A platform to mitigate noise caused by spread spectrum clock signals. The platform may comprise a noise mitigation block, which may include a first set of analog-to-digital converters, a second analog-to-digital, and a noise canceller. The first set of analog-to-digital converters may generate clock samples by digitizing the plurality of spread spectrum clock signals, which are provided as inputs to the noise mitigation block. The second analog-to-digital converter may generate data samples by digitizing the data signal. The noise canceller coupled to the first set of analog-to-digital converters and the second analog-to-digital converter may identify an interference portion in the data signal using the clock samples and the data samples and remove the interference portion from the data signal.

Abstract: A method for signal conversion includes generating a complex digital signal, which includes digital In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) components, for conversion into respective analog I and Q components by first and second Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs). A distortion generated by the DACS in the analog I and Q components is reduced by applying a phase rotation to the complex digital signal. After applying the phase rotation, the digital I and Q components of the complex digital signal are converted into the respective analog I and Q components using the first and second DACs.
