An example embodiment provides a transceiver for communication includes a timing determiner that detects a fall from high level to low level of a bus signal generated by pulse width modulation of a clock signal and input from a communication bus; a transmission data signal delay adjuster that determines a second timing having a predetermined time difference from a first timing, the bus signal rising from the low level to the high level at the first timing; an encoder that extends a low level of the bus signal by changing a data signal to be output to the communication bus from high level to low level; and a timing adjustment circuit that changes the data signal to the low level at the second timing.

Detuning and isolation techniques for a multiband tunable matching network used in multi-transceiver RF systems. Embodiments include an amplifier and a multiband tunable matching network (MN) coupled to the amplifier. The multiband tunable MN is configured to detune to an isolation OFF state from an ON state, wherein the match tuning in the isolation OFF state is different than match tuning in the ON state. In an example detuning, the match tuning in the isolation OFF state is in a different frequency band than a frequency band of match tuning in the ON state and is selected based on the frequency band of match tuning in the ON state.

For near field communications, inductive coils coupled to each communicating circuit are brought close together so that there is inductive coupling between the two coils. Data signals can then be relayed between the two circuits without any direct connection between them. However, the system is susceptible to common mode noise, such as ambient EMI. In addition to the active coil pairs used for transmitting and receiving data, a pair of passive coils is provided, proximate to the active coil pairs, that is only used for detecting the ambient EMI. The EMI signals detected by the passive coils are processed by a noise detector/processor, and the noise detector processor then controls the transmitters and/or receivers to at least partially compensate for the detected EMI signals. Transmit power or receiver thresholds may be controlled by the noise detector/processor to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, or other compensation techniques can be used.

An electronic control unit (ECU) operates between first and second voltage rails and includes an amplifier circuit and a single current sense circuit coupled to carry a signal to a bus pin and to protect the bus pin from both a short to ground and a short to battery. The single current sense circuit includes a switch circuit that passes the signal to the bus pin and a forward current sensing circuit that provides a second current that is proportional to an output current at the bus pin. The forward current sensing circuit causes the second current to be substantially zero when voltage on the bus pin is above a given value. The single current sense circuit also includes a forward current protection circuit and a reverse current switching circuit that receives the second current and closes a connection to the second voltage when the second current is zero.

Segregating a node port experiencing ingress. A node that provides a service to a plurality of cable modems may have a plurality of node ports. The node may be a Remote PHY Node or a Remote MACPHY node. In response to detecting that a particular node port of the node is experiencing ingress, the assignment of node ports to upstream device ports are adjusted so that the particular node port experiencing ingress is not be assigned to the same upstream device port as any other node port. In further response to detecting ingress at the particular node port, all node ports assigned to the same upstream device port are caused to be assigned to the same downstream device port. By segregating the node port experiencing the ingress in this manner, the impact of that ingress can be mitigated or eliminated with respect to the other node ports of that node.

Methods and apparatus for improving operational and/or cost performance based on filter characteristics. Existing schemes for measuring filter performance are based on a worst case filter performance across a range of frequencies and temperature. Filter performance can be more accurately characterized over one or more frequency ranges. In one exemplary embodiment the frequency is characterized according to a functional (e.g., linear-average) metric. By providing more accurate representation of the reception/transmission filter performance, both network and device optimizations can aggressively manage available power and handle smaller (tighter) margins.

The present invention discloses a parameter tuning approach for bypass damping filter to suppress subsynchronous resonance in power systems, namely determining the parameters of capacitor, inductor and damping resistor in BDF. Using this approach, the parameters of capacitor and inductor in BDF can be adjusted, so that the frequency where the negative electrical damping of generator reaches minimum can be away from the frequency range of low frequency oscillation mode and typical frequencies of each torsional mode; the parameter of damping resistor in BDF can be further adjusted so that the minimum value of negative electrical damping is in reasonable range. The application of BDF with parameters tuned by the present invention contributes to the suppression of both the torsional interaction effect and the transient torque amplification effect.
