Patent number: 12261721Abstract: A wireless communications relay includes a first radio and a second radio operating over adjacent channels. A baseband signal to be transmitted (the “transmit signal”) from the first radio is split along two paths. A first path is delayed by a delay element and the second path is provided as input to a channel model configured to implement a transfer function approximating an echo channel of the local RF environment. The channel model outputs a baseband approximation of echo channel effects of the transmit signal, after which an RF chain modulates the echo channel approximation to the RF domain. This RF echo channel approximation is thereafter filtered by an RF band pass filter turned to an operating channel of the second radio. The filtered signal is thereafter combined with received signal to compensate for self-interference.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2023Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: GXC, LLCInventors: Dean Zavadsky, Daniel B.

Patent number: 11909565Abstract: Decision feedback equalization (DFE) is used to help reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) from a data signal received via a band-limited (or otherwise non-ideal) channel. In embodiment, a single-ended receiver trains DFE coefficients and the slicer reference voltage to improve the received eye height. The process for training avoids many whole range sweeps thereby shortening training time. A custom data pattern that includes low-frequency (DC with respect to DFE) and high-frequency (AC with respect to DFE) worst cases is used for training in a closed loop manner. Negative DFE is used to measure the AC height of the data. Positive DFE is used to find the DC height of the data pattern.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Inventors: Anirudha Shelke, Ashwin S.
