The processor transforms the second vector signal from a time domain to a transform domain. The processor rotates the transformed second vector signal by a phase that is proportional to a time delay between the first and second vector signals to time-align the second vector signal to the first vector signal.

  • Patent number: 10145872
    Abstract: A spectrum analyzer for measuring an RF signal over a selected frequency span configured to use multiple Intermediate Frequencies (IFs) for residual, spurious and image signal reduction. The spectrum analyzer has both a primary IF path and a secondary IF path configured to provide band pass filtering of the IF signals. A master clock synthesizer is configured to reduce residual noise by providing from a single Voltage Controlled Oscillator, a master clock signal and a Local Oscillator (LO) signal. The spectrum analyzer has a microcontroller configured to change the frequency of the master clock signal and the LO signal if the center frequency of the selected span is sufficiently close to a known spurious signal.

  • Patent number: 10148460
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for providing device(s) with additional processing time to process a packet received wirelessly while still meeting the legacy SIFS time constraint. The additional processing time may be achieved by adding, by a device transmitting the packet, padding and/or a packet extension to the last symbol of the packet. The additional processing time provided to the device(s) advantageously reduces the amount of extra hardware that would normally be added to meet the SIFS time constraint. The amount of padding and/or packet extension to be added to the last symbol is balanced to minimize the complexity of the device(s) against the reduction in system efficiency incurred by the device(s).

  • Patent number: 10141988
    Abstract: A method and a first radio node (200 or 202), for communicating data with a second radio node in a wireless network using precoders. The first radio node (200 or 202) communicates (2:1) with the second radio node (202 or 200) a first data transmission using a first set of precoders (S1), and communicates (2:4) with the second radio node (202 or 200) a precoder indicator which is based on quality of the communicated first data transmission. The first radio node (200 or 202) identifies (2:5) a second set of precoders (S2) within the first set (S1) based on the communicated precoder indicator, and communicates (2:6) with the second radio node (202 or 200) a second data transmission using the second set of precoders.

  • Patent number: 10135505
    Abstract: A 5G base station transmitter at least partially precodes data for beam forming, and generates digital precoded baseband signals. Cross product circuitry coupled to the digital precoder, generates digital cross products of the digital precoded baseband signals. Both the baseband signals and the cross products are put through digital-to-analog converters (DACs), then provided to an analog non-linear precoder. The analog non-linear precoder combines the analog baseband signals, the cross products, with pre-distortion and precoder coefficients to generate a signal that is pre-compensated for power amplifier non-linearity. The pre-compensated signal is amplified by the power amplifier and transmitted via a phased antenna array. The number of extra DACs required for inserting pre-distortion when a hybrid digital/analog precoder is used can be limited to approximately N RF ? ( N RF - 1 ) 2 , where NRF is the number of outputs of the digital precoder.

  • Patent number: 10122528
    Abstract: In order to address the needs of narrow band communication, eNB-based processing and/or UE-based processing is provided to achieve robust detection of cell ID and SFN timing location using NB-SSS. A base station constructs a NB-SSS signal using a root index of a Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence, a scrambling code, a cyclic shift or phase ramping sequence, and an interleaving sequence, wherein a combination of the ZC root index, the scrambling code index, the cyclic shift or phase ramping sequence index, and the interleaving sequence index signals information for a cell identifier (e.g., PCID) and frame timing. The ZC sequence used may be a long ZC sequence constructed to span a total number of tones allocated to an SSS sequence or may be a concatenation of multiple ZC sequences, wherein the concatenated ZC sequences span a total number of tones allocated to an SSS sequence.
