摘要： Processors are arranged in a pipeline structure to operate on multiple layers of data, each layer comprising multiple groups of data. An input to a memory is coupled to an output of the last processor in the pipeline, and the memory's output is coupled to an input of the first processor in the pipeline. Multiplexing and de-multiplexing operations are performed in the pipeline. For each group in each layer, a stored result read from the memory is applied to the first processor in the pipeline structure. A calculated result of the stored result is output at the last processor and stored in the memory. Once processing for the last group of data in a first layer is completed, the corresponding processor is configured to process data in a next layer before the pipeline finishes processing the first layer. The stored result obtained from the next layer comprises a calculated result produced from a layer previous to the first layer.

摘要： LO leakage and Image are common and undesirable effects in typical transmitters. Typically, thirty complex hardware and algorithms are used to calibrate and reduce these two impairments. A single transistor that draws essentially no de current and occupies a very small area, is used to detect the LO leakage and Image Rejection signals. The single transistor operating as a square law device, is used to mix the signals at the input and output ports of the power amplifier (PA). The mixed signal generated by the single transistor enables the simultaneous calibration of the LO leakage and Image Rejection.

摘要： The 60 GHz channel between the transmitter and receiver can have AWGN characteristics allowing a Time Domain Equalizer (TDE) to be used at the receiver instead of a Frequency Domain Equalizer (FDE). The complexity of performing matrix inversion on a received signal is reduced when directional antennas are used in a 60 GHz system. Incorporating the TDE in place of the FDE saves almost an order of magnitude in power dissipation. For portable units, such a savings is beneficial since the battery life can be extended. The signal quality of wireless channel is based on the characteristics of the received signal to switch the equalization operation from a system performing FDE to TDE and vice versa. The receiver adapts to the received signal to reduce the power dissipation of the system.

摘要： Local oscillator (LO) leakage and Image are common and undesirable effects in typical transmitters. Typically, fairly complex hardware and algorithms are used to calibrate and reduce these impairments. A single transistor that draws essentially no dc current and occupies a very small area detects the LO leakage and Image signals. The single transistor operating as a square-law device is used to mix the signals at the input and output ports of a power amplifier. The mixed signal generated by the single transistor enables the simultaneous calibration of the LO leakage and Image Rejection.

摘要： A plurality of three bit units (called triplets) are permuted by a shuffler to shuffle the positions of the triplets into different patterns which are used to specific the read/write operation of a memory. For example, the least significant triplet in a conventional counter can be placed in the most significant position of a permuted three triplet pattern. The count of this permuted counter triplet generates addresses that jump 64 positions each clock cycle. These permutations can then be used to generate read and write control information to read from/write to memory banks conducive for efficient Radix-8 Butterfly operation. In addition, one or more triplets can also determine if a barrel shifter or right circular shift is required to shift data from one data lane to a second data lane. The triplets allow efficient FFT operation in a pipelined structure.
