Patent number: 8098623Abstract: A radio access network (RAN) (20) comprise a base station (28) and a wireless terminal (30). The base station 28 comprises a transceiver (38) and a frame handler (40), the wireless terminal (30) comprises a transceiver (48) and a wireless terminal frame handler (50). The frame handlers (40, 50) handle a enhanced frame F having enhanced frame structure. At least a downlink portion of the frame is formatted and handled in a manner whereby the frame can be perceived as a first format type of frame if the wireless terminal is a first type of wireless terminal and perceived as an enhanced or second format type of frame if the wireless terminal is a second type of wireless terminal. The frame handler configures the frame as plural subframes, each subframe having a downlink burst followed by an uplink burst.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2008Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM EricssonInventors: Rajaram Ramesh, Kumar Balachandran, Havish Koorapaty

Patent number: 7729673Abstract: A method and apparatus provide multichannel signal limiting to prevent any channel signal within a multichannel signal from exceeding defined limits, while still preserving the gain and/or amplitude relationships among the individual channel signals. A limiter is configured to calculate a limiting factor as the value needed to prevent a limit violation on the worst-case one of the channel signals, and then commonly apply that limiting factor to the gain control of all channel signals. Thus, the limiter may generate an actual gain value for each channel signal as the product of that channel signal's desired gain value and the current value of the limiting factor. Notably, in multichannel audio signal applications, coordinating gain control across the individual audio channels by use of the commonly applied limiting factor prevents undesirable spatial shifting of the soundstage, e.g., shifting of the stereo image.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2005Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications ABInventors: Eric Douglas Romesburg, Stefan Gustavsson

Patent number: 7693489Abstract: A wireless communication system includes: an access point used the first channel or second channel to transmit the data, wherein the center frequency of the first channel is an initial frequency and the center frequency of the second channel is an target frequency; and a client terminal. When the client terminal receives the data from the first channel, the access point and the client terminal are operated by a first working frequency and second working frequency respectively. Initially, both working frequencies are located at the initial frequency. When the first channel is desired to switch to the second channel, the first working frequency is added an offset frequency. The second working frequency is adjusted and followed so as to keep up with first working frequency. By adding the offset frequency to the working frequency repeatedly, the first and second working frequencies are shifted until both of them arrive at the target frequency.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2006Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Qisda CorporationInventor: Wei-Tin Lai

Patent number: 7583936Abstract: An electrical circuit has at least two parallel signal paths connected to one another on the antenna side and for which a band reject filter corresponding to the transmission range is implemented in a second signal path for frequency-selective improvement of insertion loss in the transmission range of a first signal path. With a band reject filter, the signal is reflected to the junction of the parallel signal paths arising from the second signal path and thus is rerouted to the first signal path.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2004Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: EPCOS AGInventors: Günter Kovacs, Veit Meister, Florian Schnirch, Martin Bünner

Patent number: 7343137Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit comprising an antenna input (1), a signal input (2) and a signal output (3), and a switching unit (4), wherein the antenna input (1) is connected to a first protection device (6) against electrostatic discharges, said first protection device (6) being a band-pass filter in a ?-configuration. The advantage of the first protection device (6) is that it eliminates the need for a band-pass filter in the front end module, when used in a mobile telephone. Furthermore, the band-pass filter has a very good filtering characteristic, enabling ESD-related disturbances to be effectively suppressed. The invention also relates to a switching module and to the use of the same.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2002Date of Patent: March 11, 2008

Publication number: 20040152435Abstract: A frequency transposition device includes a current switching circuit with two differential pairs of transistors being controlled by a local oscillator signal. In a current switching circuit calibration mode, the local oscillator is rendered inactive and the two pairs of transistors are calibrated in succession by zeroing the ground path current of one of the pairs of transistors not undergoing calibration, and by setting the voltage difference applied to the bases of the transistors of the pair of transistors undergoing calibration. This is done until the output voltage of the frequency transposition device is zeroed to within a predetermined accuracy. The base voltage difference obtained is stored after calibration. In a normal operating mode the local oscillator is rendered active, and the two stored voltage differences are applied to the respective bases of the two differential pairs of transistors.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2003Publication date: August 5, 2004Applicant: STMicroelectronics SAInventors: Bruno Pellat, Sylvie Gellida
