Invention that uses over-sampling of the Analog to Digital Converter to produce additional synthetic vector signal samples that are used to construct high dimensional Signal Data Vectors and Calibration Steering Vectors, that are used to synthetically increase the effective size of the original real array which results in the generation of a narrower array beamwidth.

A communication system receives an input signal along a signal processing path and generates a converted output signal via a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The signal processing path branches into two different branches, a magnitude branch and a sign branch for different components of the baseband signal. A local oscillator (LO) provides a carrier signal to the signal processing path at the DAC and further generates an LO leakage signal comprising a signed LO leakage and an unsigned LO leakage during the up-conversion of signals of the sign branch with a carrier. An unsigned LO suppression component is configured to reduce or eliminate the unsigned LO leakage and a signed LO suppression component is configured to reduce or eliminate the signed LO leakage form a baseband signal of the signal processing path.

In one embodiment an apparatus includes: a mixer to downconvert a radio frequency (RF) spectrum including at least a first RF signal of a first channel of interest and a second RF signal of a second channel of interest to at least a first second frequency signal and a second second frequency signal; a first digitizer to digitize the first second frequency signal to a first digitized signal, the first digitizer configured to operate as a low-pass analog-to-digital converter (ADC); a second digitizer to digitize the second second frequency signal to a second digitized signal, the second digitizer configured to operate as a band-pass ADC; and a digital processor to digitally process the first digitized signal and the second digitized signal.

A modulation device includes: a communication unit; and a controller configured to: divide a communication signal received by the communication unit into a plurality of frequency bands, determine at least one noise band including a noise signal among the plurality of frequency bands, and generate an output signal by replacing at least one of the plurality of frequency bands corresponding to the noise band with another frequency band.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for canceling self-interference signals in a communication system. A first communication node includes a signal transmission unit configured to generate a first RF signal, an antenna module configured to transmit the first RF signal generated by the signal transmission unit and receive a second RF signal from a second communication node, a signal reception unit configured to process the second RF signal and a self-interference signal caused by the first RF signal, and an SIC circuit configured to cancel the self-interference signal. The SIC circuit includes a DSIC circuit for canceling the self-interference signal in a digital domain and an ASIC circuit and an HSIC circuit for canceling the self-interference signal in an analog domain. Accordingly, the performance of the communication system may be enhanced.

A system includes a Zero IF transmitter having a mixer and a programmable gain stage. The Zero IF transmitter also includes an intermediate stage between the mixer and the programmable gain stage, wherein the intermediate stage is configured to decouple the mixer and the programmable gain stage.

A task processor has a low power connectivity processor and a high performance applications processor. Software processes have a component operative on a connectivity processor and a component operative on an applications processor. The low power connectivity processor is coupled to a low power front end for wireless packets and the high performance applications processor is coupled to a high performance front end. A power controller is coupled to the low power front end and enables the applications processor and high performance front end when wireless packets which require greater processing capacity are received, and removes power from the applications processor and high performance front end at other times.
