    摘要: Disclosed is a system for mitigating unwanted emissions in an integrated antenna in which the uplink and downlink RF processing chains are located in close proximity and shielding is impractical. The system involves orienting the uplink and downlink processing chains and physically locating them relative to each other so that applying selective phase biases to their local oscillators results in local oscillator leakage from adjacent RF processing chains to have an out of phase relationship relative to each other. This mitigates unwanted emission from local oscillator signals leakage from the RF processing chains' mixers by angularly dispersing the unwanted emissions and attenuating the unwanted emissions through destructive interference.

    摘要: A mixer circuitry comprises a mixer, a local oscillator (LO) leakage detector, a digital LO leakage cancellation controller and a DAC arrangement. The mixer is configured to mix a first LO signal having an LO frequency fLO with an intermediate frequency (IF) signal and generate an output signal, i.e. a wanted signal. The LO leakage detector measures the LO leakage at the output of the mixer in the presence of the wanted signal. Then in the digital LO leakage cancellation controller, a digital algorithm is run that automatically adjusts the LO leakage in the mixer by steering the digital-to-analog converter arrangement such that the intermediate frequency input signal level to the mixer is adjusted.

    摘要: A system, computer readable medium, and method are provided for calibrating a wireless transmitter. A transceiver that includes a radio frequency transmitter, a measurement receiver, and a local oscillator unit may be calibrated by adjusting the duty cycle of the radio frequency signals generated by the local oscillator unit. The method for calibrating the wireless transmitter includes the steps of collecting measurement data corresponding to a number of pre-defined duty ratio correction factors, calculating estimated optimum duty ratio correction factors based on the measurement data, and determining a final optimum duty ratio correction factor from the estimated optimum duty ratio correction factors. The pre-defined duty ratio correction factors may be selected to simplify the calculations for choosing the final optimum duty ratio correction factor. The wireless transmitter can be calibrated by configuring the local oscillator unit based on the final optimum duty ratio correction factor.

    摘要: A multi-tier interference canceler includes a first canceler, a second canceler, and a third canceler. The first canceler samples radio frequency (RF) interference generated from a linear signal using a non-linear process. The RF interference includes linear interference and non-linear interference. The first canceler cancels the linear interference from the sampled RF interference based on the linear signal to produce a first non-linear interference sample. The second canceler receives an amplitude scaled, time-shifted version of the RF interference and cancels the linear interference from the received RF interference based on the linear signal to produce a second non-linear interference sample. The third canceler cancels the non-linear interference from the second non-linear interference sample using the first non-linear interference sample, to produce a receive signal that is substantially free of the non-linear interference and the linear interference.
