    摘要: A multicarrier radio frequency (RF) transceiver implementing dynamic spectrum access (DSA) is capable of sensing a spectral environment and transmitting an RF signal at the same time. The transceiver can cancel an RF transmit signal component within a composite receive signal using a combination of analog and digital cancellation. In one embodiment, analog RF cancellation is performed to reduce the level of a transmit signal component of a composite receive signal before the signal reaches an RF receiver. The RF cancellation may be used to reduce the transmit signal component to a level that maintains the linear operation of the RF receiver. Digital cancellation may be performed to reduce transmit signal remnants within an output signal of the RF receiver. Digital cancellation may be performed on a subcarrier-by-subcarrier basis in some implementations.

    摘要: Described embodiments provide a magnetic field sensor has a circular vertical Hall (CVH) sensing element with a plurality of vertical Hall elements disposed over a common implant region in a substrate. The magnetic field sensor generates output signals responsive to a magnetic field generated by a multi-pole magnet having a plurality of north poles and also a plurality of south poles. An angle sensor generates an angle signal representative of an angle of a direction component of the magnetic field. A pole pair counter generates a count signal representative of a count of a number of the pole pairs of the multi-pole magnet that move past the CVH sensing element. An angle interpolation module generates a reconstructed angle signal representative of an angular position of the multi-pole magnet relative to the CVH sensing element based upon the count signal and the angle signal. Corresponding methods are also described.

    摘要: Described embodiments calibrate an array antenna using near-field antenna measurements individually for each antenna element in an antenna under test (AUT). A signal is received at a first AUT antenna element from an antenna probe assembly by transmitting from the antenna probe assembly at each of multiple known probe locations in a near-field of the AUT. A signal is received at each probe location by transmitting from the first antenna element of the AUT to the antenna probe assembly. The received signals are combined into a combined signal for the first antenna element that de-correlates multi-path in the combination result. The combined signal is processed to generate a calibration coefficient for the first AUT antenna element. Remote boundary condition (RBC) testing is performed to reduce temporal instability. The multiple known probe locations lie on one of the following: a planar surface, a cylindrical surface, and a spherical surface.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method is provided for a storage system comprising a processor in operable communication with a storage device that is configured into a plurality of respective regions of storage space. A first defragmentation process is performed on at least a first region of the plurality of respective regions of storage space to free a first portion of storage space in the a respective first region, where the freed first portion is reserved for user data and metadata associated with I/O requests to the storage system that are generated during a first operation running on the storage system. The storage system is configured to ensure that, during the first operation, user data and metadata are routed towards the first freed portion and kept separate from a set of system checkpoint information, associated with a first state of the storage system, stored in a protected portion of storage space.
