    摘要: In order to solve the problem that signals often interfere with one another in the RF front-end module in the prior art, the application provides an RF front-end module, an antenna device and a control method for the RF front-end module. The module comprises an antenna switch selection module, an RF signal transmitting link, a first RF signal receiving link and a second RF signal receiving link; the RF signal transmitting link, first RF signal receiving link and second RF signal receiving link are separately connected to a first inner peripheral port, second inner peripheral port and third inner peripheral port respectively. The antenna device and RF front-end module thereof improve the isolation effect. When the RF front-end circuit receives a plurality of RF signals at the same time, the isolation among different RF signals at the antenna switch selection module is higher than that in the prior art.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to reducing insertion loss in a transceiver while improving an operating efficiency of the transceiver. To do so, the transceiver may include isolation circuitry with harmonic distortion rejection circuitry, an electrostatic discharge filter, an out-of-band noise filter, and/or a matching network. In particular, the harmonic distortion rejection circuitry may enable a second harmonic signal to pass from a power amplifier of a transmitter of the transceiver to ground. The electrostatic discharge filter may also provide a path to ground for electrostatic discharge, and the out-of-band noise filter may provide a path to ground for noise signals. The isolation circuitry may substantially remove or decrease interference caused by undesirable signals while reducing a power consumption and thus improving an operating efficiency of the transceiver.

    摘要: Embodiments of this application disclose a full-duplex self-interference cancellation method and apparatus. The full-duplex self-interference cancellation method may be applied to the field of radio frequency self-interference cancellation in a full-duplex scenario. The full-duplex self-interference cancellation method is implemented by a full-duplex self-interference cancellation apparatus with self-interference reconstruction modules of two levels, and the full-duplex self-interference cancellation apparatus is implemented by a terminal. This greatly reduces hardware implementation complexity and costs of the second self-interference reconstruction module, and improves a full-duplex self-interference cancellation capability.

    摘要: A tunable bandpass low-noise amplifier (LNA). The LNA includes a plurality of N-path filters and a plurality of cascode amplifiers. The cascode amplifiers are configured to amplify an input signal. Each N-path filter is coupled to a different one of the plurality of cascode amplifiers. The plurality of N-path filters are driven by local oscillator (LO) signals having different frequencies, and output nodes of the plurality of cascode amplifiers are coupled in parallel. The frequencies of the LO signals may be symmetrically spaced around a desired frequency (fLO). Each N-path filter may be coupled to a source of the common-gate device of the coupled cascode amplifier. The LO signals may be generated by a digital-to-time converter (DTC)-based frequency synthesizer. The frequencies of the LO signals supplied to the N-path filters may be adjusted to tune the bandwidth of the bandpass LNA.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may filter leaked power from a signal to accurately perform antenna compensation operations (e.g., apply a transmit gain, perform cable loss measurements) using valid power. A switch at the UE may leak power to an antenna for a transmission, and the UE may use a dynamic filtering algorithm to determine whether a pulse power of a detected signal is leaked or valid. The dynamic filtering algorithm may be able to account for variations in leaked power values, as leaked power may increase or decrease proportionally to intended power (e.g., from which power was leaked). By determining whether pulse power is leaked or valid, the UE may be able to filter out the leaked power and accurately perform antenna compensation operations such as applying a transmit gain for a transmission, performing a cable loss measurement, or the like.
