    Abstract: A wireless device and method of power consumption reduction are generally described herein. The wireless device may map a plurality of data symbols to sub-carriers for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission. The wireless device may divide the plurality of data symbols into first and second groups of data symbols. The wireless device may generate a first OFDM signal from the first group of data symbols for amplification by a first power amplifier (PA). The wireless device may generate a second OFDM signal from the second group of data symbols for amplification by a second PA. The data symbols of the first and second groups may be selected to provide a PAPR of the first OFDM signal that is lower than a PAPR of a composite OFDM signal based on the plurality of data symbols.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of compensating for a bandpass filter are generally described. A DTx includes a BPF from which an output signal is produced and a DFE having a zero crossing (ZC) pre-distorter (ZCPD). The ZCPD compensates for ZC distortion from a desired analog signal caused by the BPF. The ZCPD adjusts a DTC code word to generate a DTx output signal to be applied to the BPF. The compensation is dependent on a magnitude of the square wave immediately prior to and after the ZC. The compensated DTC and a DPA code word are used to generate the DTx output signal. The compensation produced by the ZCPD is free from compensation for non-linear responses to the DTC and DPA code words.

    Abstract: Techniques for compensating for signal impairments introduced by a mixer are discussed. One example system employing such techniques can include mixer predistortion circuitry configured to receive signal in-phase (I) and signal quadrature (Q) components of a signal and to generate a mixer predistortion signal based at least in part on the signal I and Q components, wherein the mixer predistortion signal compensates for nonlinearities caused by a mixer that upconverts the signal. Optionally, imbalance correction circuitry to compensate for gain and phase imbalance and/or skew correction circuitry to compensate for gain and phase skew can also be included.

    Abstract: Aspects of a digital phase-lock loop (DPLL) with an adjustable delay between an output clock and a reference clock in accordance with phase noise compensation are generally described herein. An apparatus may include processing circuitry configured to, in a first mode, identify a delay element of a plurality of delay elements based on an associated delay value, and set an initial phase difference value to a phase difference value associated with the identified delay element. The processor circuitry may be further configured to, in a second mode, in a second mode, initialize the DPLL using the initial phase difference value, determine a phase error between a reference clock and a feedback clock based on the initial phase difference value, adjust an output clock signal based on the phase error.

    Abstract: A spur cancelation system includes error circuitry, inverse spur circuitry, and injection circuitry. The error circuitry is configured to generate an error signal based at least on a first transceiver signal in a transceiver signal processing chain. The inverse spur circuitry is configured to, based at least on the error signal, determine a gain and a phase of a spur signal in the transceiver signal and generate an inverse spur signal based at least on the gain and the phase of the spur signal. The injection circuitry is configured to inject the inverse spur signal to cancel a spur in a second transceiver signal in the transceiver signal processing chain.
