  • Patent number: 12160249
    Abstract: A number of unit cells of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) may be simultaneously activated to generate an analog signal. However, while each unit cell may be generally the same, there may be variations such as non-linearity or noise in the analog output depending on which unit cells are activated for a given digital signal value. For example, as additional unit cells are activated for increased values of the analog signal, the fill order in which the unit cells are activated may affect the linearity/noise of the DAC. The decision units may be programmable to select which branches of the fractal DAC to activate, changing the fill order based on a fill-selection signal. The fill order may be set by a fill controller via the fill-selection signal to account for manufacturing variations, gradients in the supply voltage, output line routing, and/or environmental factors such as temperature.

  • Patent number: 12040816
    Abstract: A number of unit cells of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) may be simultaneously activated to generate an analog signal according to a decoded digital signal. However, while many unit cells may be generally the same, there may be variations in the gains associated with each unit cell (e.g., based on the locations of the activated unit cells within a unit cell array) amounting to a gain gradient that may cause error in the analog output. As such, a fill order may be set or selected to counter such variation by activating a particular arrangement of unit cells, as opposed to simply the number of unit cells, for a given digital signal. By filling the unit cell array from different sides, spatially and/or temporally, the gain gradient associated with the unit cells may be balanced to reduce error and increase the linearity of the DAC.

  • Patent number: 11916586
    Abstract: A method comprises capturing a first signal from a first radio chain, and dividing samples of the first signal into a first set of sub-vectors. A second signal is captured from a second radio chain. Samples of the second signal are divided into a second set of sub-vectors according to the determined mapping pattern. A gain difference and phase difference between each sub-vector of the first set and a sub-vector of the second set are estimated, acquiring gain differences and phase differences of the first signal and the second signal. The sub-vector level gain differences are combined to acquire a gain difference between the first signal and the second signal. The sub-vector-level phase differences are combined to acquire a phase difference between the first signal and the second signal. One of the first radio chain and the second radio chain are configured to reduce the gain difference and phase difference.

  • Patent number: 11877309
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are related to beam management in cellular communication networks, and in particular, provide a new transmission (Tx) beamforming indication based on the flexible Tx beam-forming assignment on the corresponding reference signal configured in a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state for downlink (DL) or spatial relation information in the uplink (UL). The Tx beam-forming on the reference signal of the TCI state configured for the DL physical channel/reference signal can be updated based on reported Tx beam in the UL or using UL measurements from Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission. Similarly, spatial relation information configuration used to indicate Tx beam-forming in the UL, may be also updated based on the reference signal measurements in DL or by suing Downlink Control Information (DCI) based beam indication in a scheduling request indicator (SRI). Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
