Abstract: Fast image rejection. Dual down conversion processing of a received signal by performing both low side injection and high side injection thereby generating a first down converted signal and a second down converted signal. Analysis of one or both of the first and second down converted signals, including the signal and image components thereof, is performed to determine which of the first down converted signal and the second down converted signal is appropriate to be selected for subsequent baseband processing. For example, if a signal strength of an image within the first down converted signal is less than a signal strength of a signal component within the first down converted signal, then the first down converted signal is most likely the appropriate signal to undergo baseband processing. Alternatively, if the converse is true, then the second down converted signal may be the appropriate signal to undergo baseband processing.

Abstract: A receiver circuit suppresses effects of “benign” impairment from the calculation of received signal quality estimates, such that the estimate depends primarily on the effects of non-benign impairment. For example, a received signal may be subject to same-cell and other-cell interference plus noise, which is generally modeled using a Gaussian distribution, and also may be due to certain forms of self-interference, such as quadrature phase interference arising from imperfect derotation of the pilot samples used to generate channel estimates for the received signal. Such interference generally takes on a distribution defined by the pilot signal modulation, e.g., a binomial distribution for binary phase shift keying modulation. Interference arising from such sources is relatively “benign” as compared to Gaussian interference and thus should be suppressed or otherwise discounted in signal quality calculations.
