Abstract:
An apparatus for interference cancellation in wireless communication systems configured for reception, comprises a receive signal path configured to convey an overall receive (Rx) signal comprising an Rx signal and a residual transmit (Tx) signal, from an antenna port to an Rx input port of a transceiver, and at least one cancellation path configured to receive a leakage Tx signal from the antenna port. Further, the apparatus comprises a cancellation unit configured to apply a cancellation signal to the overall Rx signal in the receive signal path and a compensation unit configured to generate the cancellation signal by modifying the leakage Tx signal in the cancellation path, based on a compensation control signal. In addition, the apparatus comprises a feedback receiver unit configured to generate the compensation control signal based on the residual Tx signal in the overall Rx signal and the cancellation signal.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for reducing or mitigating phase noise of a digital phase lock loop or the system depending on the digital phase lock loop. In an example, a multiple-mode digital phase lock loop can include a digital phase lock loop (DPLL), multiple frequency scalers configured to receive a reference clock, and a multiplexer configured to receive a mode command signal and to couple an output of one of the multiple frequency scalers to an input of the DPLL in response to a state of the mode command signal.
Abstract:
Embodiments of front-end module (FEM) circuitry and a communication device are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the FEM circuitry may be configured to provide uplink (UL) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signals and/or UL carrier aggregation (CA) signals for transmission by the communication device. The FEM circuitry may comprise a hybrid coupler to generate a first antenna transmit signal and a second antenna transmit signal. The FEM circuitry may further comprise one or more tunable phase shifters. In some embodiments, the phase shifters may phase-shift a first radio frequency (RF) signal and a second RF signal according to a 90 degree phase difference to generate the hybrid coupler input signals. Accordingly, the antenna transmit signals may be transmitted according to the UL-MIMO configuration.
