  • Patent number: 10277381
    Abstract: A duplex communication system includes a duplexer for transmitting and receiving signals, a transmitter part connected to the duplexer, and a receiver part connected to the duplexer, the receiver part comprising an amplifier for amplifying a received signal to provide an amplified received signal and a demodulator for downconverting the amplified received signal, and a second-order intermodulation distortion (IMD2) compensation module for compensating for second-order intermodulation distortion. The system also includes an adaptive filtering module that obtains a transmitter reference signal, generates filter coefficients for the IMD2compensation module and also adjusts a direct current (DC) bias of the demodulator based on the reference signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9602151
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving wireless signals. A transmitting apparatus has a signal processor and a transmitter. The signal processor is configured to generate a signal having a middle channel and at least one side channel. The transmitter is configured to wirelessly transmit the signal subject to a spectral mask that has shoulder regions. According to an embodiment of the invention, the signal processor generates the signal such that each side channel is positioned in one of the shoulder regions of the spectral mask. In this manner, bandwidth from the shoulder regions can be utilized by one or more side channels. Also provided is a receiving apparatus having a receiver configured to wirelessly receive the signal, and a signal processor configured to process the signal.
