    摘要: Ultrahigh band (UHB) architectures for radio frequency (RF) front-ends are disclosed. In certain embodiments, an RF front-end for a mobile device includes a first ultrahigh band transmit/receive module connected to a first antenna, a second ultrahigh band transmit/receive module connected to the first antenna, and a first ultrahigh band receive module connected to a second antenna. The first ultrahigh band transmit/receive module is further connected to the second antenna by way of an auxiliary input of the first ultrahigh band receive module.

    摘要: Methods and systems for fast sounding reference symbol (SRS) antenna port switching for FDD. A mobile device can include a baseband processor and a front end including a transmit power amplifier, a first transmit path, and a second transmit path. The front end can be configurable in a first mode to transmit via the first transmit path within a transmit band of a frequency division duplex band. The front end can be further configurable in a second mode to transmit via the second transmit path within a receive band of the frequency division duplex band.

    摘要: A radio chain arrangement comprising at least two levels of radio chain entities. Each of the levels of radio chain entities is associated with a respective frequency range encompassing at least one radio frequency band each. At least two radio chain entities of a lower level of radio chains are comprised in a radio chain entity of a next higher level. Each radio chain entity of the at least two levels of radio chain entities comprises a respective radio transceiver arrangement that is connected to at least a respective one of a number of antenna multiplexers. For all radio chain entities except a lowest level, the respective radio transceiver arrangement is connected to the antenna multiplexers via a splitter arrangement. An active antenna system comprising such radio chain arrangements and a method for its operation is also disclosed.

    摘要: Wide bandwidth digital pre-distortion (DPD) in a remote unit(s) for a wireless communications system (WCS) is disclosed. In embodiments disclosed herein, a remote unit(s) includes at least two transceiver circuits, each configured to process (e.g., perform DPD) a respective downlink digital communications signal corresponding to a portion of the carrier bandwidth. Each of the transceiver circuits is further configured to convert the respective downlink digital communications signal into a respective downlink RF communications signal. The respective downlink RF communications signals generated by the transceiver circuits are subsequently combined to form a downlink RF communications signal(s) associated with the carrier bandwidth. By employing multiple transceiver circuits in the remote unit(s) to each handle a portion of the carrier bandwidth, it may be possible to mitigate processing bandwidth limitations of the remote unit(s), thus making it possible to satisfy the regulatory and/or operational requirements for supporting wide bandwidth communications in the WCS.
