Abstract: A radio-frequency (RF) apparatus includes a wideband receive (RX) impedance matching circuit to provide a received differential RF signal to RF receive circuitry. The wideband RX impedance matching circuit includes first and second inductors to receive the differential RF signal. The wideband RX impedance matching circuit further includes a third inductor coupled across an input o the RF receive circuitry. The third inductor performs the functionality of a capacitor having a negative capacitance value.

Abstract: A wireless local area network (WLAN) station receiver has a center frequency offset (CFO) estimator and an CFO table with an association between a CFO value from a recently received access point packet for which the station is associated according to 802.11. The receiver performs a comparison between the CFO estimate of the received packet and the CFO value from the CFO database, and powers the receiver down if the comparison exceeds a threshold. The threshold may be an absolute value in parts per million, or may include a time drift compensation component.

Abstract: A system and method for performing discrete frequency transform including a pair of single-bit analog to digital converters (ADCs), a phase converter, a memory, a discrete frequency transform converter and summation circuitry. The ADCs convert an analog input signal into N pairs of binary in-phase and quadrature component samples each being one of four values at a corresponding one of four phases. The phase converter determines a phase value for each pair of component samples. The memory stores a set of discrete frequency transform coefficient values based on N. The discrete frequency transform converter uses a phase value and a pair of discrete frequency transform coefficient values retrieved from the memory for a selected frequency bin to determine a discrete frequency component for each pair of phase component samples. The summation circuitry sums the corresponding N frequency domain components for determining a frequency domain value for the selected frequency bin.

Abstract: A receiver for OFDM subcarriers has a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, a tunable system clock is output at a nominal frequency, and in the second mode, the tunable system clock is offset so that a harmonic of the tunable system clock coincides with a particular OFDM subcarrier. The tunable system clock is coupled to a programmable modem PLL clock generator which generates clocks for an A/D converter coupled to a baseband processor which is also coupled to the programmable modem PLL clock generator. The programmable modem PLL clock generator is programmed to maintain a constant output frequency of each output in the first mode and the second mode.

Abstract: A printed circuit board having an AoX antenna array and a feeding circuit is disclosed. The AoX antenna array has patch antenna disposed on a top layer of the printed circuit board, while the feeding circuit is disposed on the bottom layer. The signal traces that connect the ports of the antenna unit cells to the antenna selection switches are routed so that all are roughly equal in length with a minimal length of parallel sections between signal traces. Thus, the signal traces in the feeding circuit are created so as to minimize phase difference between signal traces and to minimize coupling. Coplanar waveguides, which utilize blind vias are used to further reduce coupling.
