Abstract: In-band full-duplex (IBFD) wireless systems offer the ability to revolutionize frequency spectrum utilization for future networks. For IBFD systems to work, the self-interference (SI) generated by each wireless node should be sufficiently mitigated, which becomes more challenging as the bandwidth increases. RF cancellation enables this interference reduction but has been limited so far to narrowband operation or restricted to distinctive environments. Fortunately, a photonic-enabled RF canceller can provide broadband interference cancellation using photonic components in a wideband vector modulator architecture with tunable time-delay taps. An example of this canceller with 20 canceller taps provides 25 and 20 dB of cancellation over 500-MHz and 1-GHz instantaneous bandwidths, respectively, and is tunable between 0.5 and 5.5 GHz. This photonic-enabled RF canceller provides the wideband operation and high tap counts for successfully deploying future wireless systems with IBFD technology.

Abstract: A novel and useful apparatus and method for an image-interferer aware single quadrature RF downconversion (SQRD) low intermediate frequency (LIF) receiver and related power reduction techniques utilized therein. The invention applies zero-margin adaptive transceiver (ZMAT) design principles to considerably reduce the receiver's power consumption in an adaptive fashion in accordance with the instantaneous reception conditions. In a low IF dual-branch (i.e. quadrature) downconversion receiver, the radio monitors the image strength and shuts off the receiver's Q branch (or I branch) when image rejection is not needed (i.e. when the relative image strength is below a threshold), thus significantly reducing power consumption in the RF receiver. A zero IF receiver is switched to a SQRD low IF receiver of lower power consumption when the image interferer strength is low enough to allow for a given required level of performance.
