Abstract: Bayesian Inference based communication receiver employs Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) sampling for performing several of the main receiver functionalities. The channel estimator estimates the multipath channel coefficients corresponding to a signal received with fading. The symbol demodulator demodulates the received signal according to a QAM constellation, so as to generate a demodulated signal, and estimate the transmitted symbols. The decoder reliably decodes the demodulated signals to generate an output bit sequence, factoring in redundancy induced at a certain code rate. A universal sampler may be configured to use MCMC sampling for generating estimates of channel coefficients, transmitted symbols or decoder bits, for aforementioned functionalities, respectively. The samples may then be used in one or more of the receiver tasks: channel estimation, signal demodulation, and decoding, which leads to a more scalable, reusable, power/area efficient receiver.

Abstract: An apparatus can include transceiver circuitry to receive an input signal from a target apparatus. The apparatus can further include a processing circuitry to determine position information of a source object and a target object. Based on the position information, the processing circuitry can calculate a relative velocity and determine a Doppler shift or carrier frequency offset in the input signal based on the relative velocity. The processing circuitry can adjust a local oscillator frequency based on a Doppler measured using the position information in an initial link acquisition phase. The processing circuitry can track the Doppler continuously over a range of tens of gigahertz accounting for Doppler phase ambiguities, and correct for a tracked Doppler shift by partially adjusting a local oscillator frequency and by correcting a residual Doppler shift digitally.

Abstract: A clock data recovery (CDR) apparatus can include an interpolator circuitry to interpolate an input received signal and to generate an output signal removing the sampling clock offsets. The apparatus can include timing error detector (TED) circuitry coupled to process the output signal and to provide a timing error as feedback to the interpolator circuitry, the timing error being adjusted by gain factors used in at least one of an automatic gain control (AGC) circuitry and an orthogonalization circuitry. The apparatus can include loop filter (LF) circuitry to filter the timing error to remove noise effects. The apparatus can include numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) circuitry to adjust for a basepoint and fractional interval used to adjust resampling coefficients within the interpolator circuitry.

Abstract: A converter can include a number of time-to-voltage converters (TVCs) each receiving an input time-domain signal. The input time-domain signal can represent a different sample than input time-domain signals of the other TVCs. The converter can also include a capacitive element coupled to outputs of the TVCs to receive a combined output signal of the TVCs. The capacitive element can provide an input capacitance of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Other methods and apparatuses are described.
