RADIO FREQUENCY MODULE AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE
A radio frequency module includes: a module substrate including a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite to each other; a first electronic component (e.g., power amplifier) disposed on the first principal surface; a second electronic component (e.g., low-noise amplifier) disposed on the second principal surface; post electrodes disposed on the second principal surface; and a plated shield wall disposed on the second principal surface and set at a ground potential. Here, the post electrodes include a first post electrode through which a first radio frequency signal is input or output, and a second post electrode through which a power-supply signal is input or output. In a plan view of the module substrate, the plated shield wall surrounds one of the first and second post electrodes, and at least part of the plated shield wall is disposed between the first and second post electrodes.
Mixer circuitry with noise cancellation
An electronic device may include wireless circuitry with a baseband processor, a transceiver, a front-end module, and an antenna. The transceiver may include mixer circuitry. The mixer circuitry may include switches controlled by oscillator signals. The mixer circuitry may also include oscillator phase noise cancelling capacitors controlled by inverted oscillator signals. Operated in this way, the mixer circuitry exhibits improved noise figure performance.
Phase noise compensation in a wireless system
According to one configuration, a system includes a first wireless station in communication with a second wireless station. A phase noise predictor model such as associated with the first wireless station receives phase noise information. The phase noise information captures an estimate of: i) first phase noise associated with a first wireless station, and ii) second phase noise associated with a second wireless station. Based on the received phase noise information, the predictor produces phase noise adjustment information. The predictor applies the phase noise adjustment information to adjust (compensate) a signal of the first wireless station. Adjustment of the signal results in phase noise adjustment with respect to both the first phase noise associated with the first wireless station and the second phase noise associated with the second wireless station.
Enhanced client grouping by a network device
Examples described herein provide enhanced client grouping by a network device. Examples include determining that a plurality of client devices each comprising a plurality of receiver antennas are associated with a network device, and grouping the client devices into one or more groups, wherein each group comprises a number of client devices less than or equal to the number of transmitter antennas of the network device. Examples include, for each group, assigning one spatial stream to one receiver antenna for each client device of the group, and based on a determination that the number of client devices of the group is greater than one and less than the number of transmitter antennas, assigning one spatial stream to each of a portion of the remaining receiver antennas of the group, wherein at least one receiver antenna of the group is not assigned a spatial stream.
Transmission device and communication system
Provided is a transmission device including: a transmission circuit that operates, on the basis of a mode signal indicating a first operation mode corresponding to a data transmission period or a second operation mode corresponding to a data transmission pause period, in the first operation mode or the second operation mode, and transmits data in which a clock signal is embedded; and a power supply noise reduction circuit that reduces noise of a power supply that supplies power to the transmission circuit when switching is performed between the first operation mode and the second operation mode.
EMI rejection for near field links
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.
Power supply noise suppressor
A power supply noise suppressor includes a housing configured to be fastened or adhered to a customer-premises equipment (CPE) device. A first connector is configured to connect to a cable. A second connector is configured connect to the CPE device. A circuit is positioned at least partially within the housing and connected to the first and second connectors. The circuit is configured to reduce an amount of a power supply switch noise that is transmitted in an upstream direction from the CPE device to the cable.
Mitigating satellite interference
Mitigation of satellite interference is contemplated. The mitigation may include processing satellite transmissions to remove interferences based on an amount of signal overlap, such as to facilitate mitigating interferences resulting from satellite spacing and/or ground antenna dish size.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE IN MEASUREMENT-WHILE-DRILLING DATA
Systems and methods are presented for reducing electrical interference in measurement-while-drilling (“MWD”) data. An example may include, among other features a MWD data acquisition system including an analog data reception for receiving analog MWD data, an analog-to-digital conversion circuit, at least one isolation circuit for electrically isolating the analog data reception circuit and the analog-to-digital conversion circuit from a digital data transmission circuit. In some embodiments, a power isolation circuit may electrically isolate an analog section power domain from a digital section power domain. The isolation techniques may improve the quality of the analog signal received.
COMPLEMENTARY DATA FLOW FOR NOISE REDUCTION
A method and system for reducing power supply noise comprising receiving a primary data stream at a data rate. The primary data stream comprises a stream of bits having logical values of either zero or one. Then, splitting the primary data stream to create a first group of lower rate data streams and a second group of lower rate data streams. Processing the second group of lower rate data streams to invert the logic values of the bits of the lower rate data streams to create processed lower rate data streams. The first group of lower rate data streams are combined with the processed lower rate data streams to create a complementary data stream. Then, processing the primary data stream and the complementary data stream concurrently with a data processing system, the concurrent processing reducing noise on the power supply.
