Patent number: 11601710Abstract: Approaches provide for processing a communications signal, such as a wideband communications signal. For example, a communications signal can be received at an access device, such as a cable modem or a wireless transceiver/radio. The access device can include components operable to process the communications signal to enable access to, for example, video, data, voice, high-speed Internet services. At least some of the components include an echo cancellation component among other components to cancel interference (e.g., ACI, ALI). For example, the echo cancellation component can use trained filters and samples of the upstream signal, echoed samples of the transmitted signal, feedback signals of the echoed signal, etc., to estimate one or more types of interference. Thereafter, the estimated interference can be used to cancel interference at the access device.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: SiTune CorporationInventors: Marzieh Veyseh, Mahdi Khoshgard, Vahid M Toosi, Saeid Mehrmanesh

Patent number: 10193583Abstract: An RF tuner is described for handling RF signals in a broad frequency range and a broad power range while maintaining high linearity and tolerating high power blockers. A continuous feedback loop comprising a substantially linear LNA and an RF RSSI can adjust the power of the RF signal on the RF side. A substantially linear, variable gain transconductor may convert and amplify the voltage of the RF signal to a current signal. The converted signal may be down converted and filtered to an IF or baseband signal. An IF or baseband RSSI may measure the power of the down converted and filtered signal. The measured power may be compared against a preferred value to adjust the amplification of the transconductor.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: SiTune CorporationInventors: Vahid Mesgarpour Toosi, Mohammad Bagher Vahidfar, Saeid Mehrmanesh

Publication number: 20180241537Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for calibrating transceivers by providing a stored index that was calculated of a race condition count. The race condition is based at least in part to a rat race between a clock signal and an input signal that has been sampled by a random or jitter signal. The stored index corresponds to a relative timing error between the clock signal and the sampled input signal. The stored index is used to scramble subsequent input signals that are thermo-coded signals, thereby eliminating timing errors.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2017Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventors: Hamid Nejati, Vahid M.

Patent number: 9866179Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for LNAs with high linearity and low noise for wideband receivers that receive high dynamic range signals. A multi-stage multipath LNA is disclosed in which outputs from various stages are amplified with variable gains and combined in parallel. A smart gain control unit evaluates the noise and non-linearity characteristics associated with each gain stage to configure the variable gains for the various stages to generate an overall LNA gain that minimizes the overall noise and/or non-linearity characteristics of the LNA while ensuring that the overall gain for the LNA satisfies the desired gain. The variable gains may be configured to change smoothly over the dynamic range of the input signal. Noise is minimized by reducing additional gain stages and by the smooth change in gain when switching between stages. High linearity performance is maintained by minimizing the number of gain stages combined.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: SiTune CorporationInventors: Saeid Mehrmanesh, Vahid M.

Patent number: 9749068Abstract: A system and method are provided for calibrating the IQ-imbalance in a low-IF receiver. A Test Signal can be generated in a mirror frequency and conveyed to the receiver. The power of the signal produced in the receiver from the conveyed Test Signal can be measured. In the absence of an IQ-imbalance, the Test Signal can be completely eliminated in the receiver and the corresponding measured power of the produced signal can be minimized. Accordingly, a two dimensional algorithm is described for calibrating a receiver and correcting the IQ-imbalance by adjusting the phase and gain difference between the I and Q channels in the receiver based on the measured power of the signal produced in the receiver.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: SiTune CorporationInventors: Mahdi Khoshgard, Saeid Mehrmanesh, Vahid Mesgarpour Toosi

Publication number: 20150256209Abstract: A system and method is provided for filtering and amplifying a signal where amplification can be distributed between stages of a filter and gain can be assigned throughout the filter to optimize system performance. Such a system can be implemented in the baseband section of RF receivers. VGAs can be implemented between filter stages, such as biquads, or VGAs can be incorporated in filter stages. Substantially linear VGAs comprising a parallel resistor array can be incorporated in the circuitry of the filter stages to reduce distortion. Gain can be assigned dynamically in the amplification stages to improve noise and/or linearity performance. For example, gain assignments can be implemented so that high power undesired signal components are filtered out before amplification to prevent component saturation, and low power signals are amplified before they are filtered to improve noise performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2015Publication date: September 10, 2015Inventors: Saeid Mehrmanesh, Vahid Mesgarpour Toosi
