Radio-frequency circuit, communication device, and radio-frequency circuit designing method
A radio-frequency circuit that conveys a radio-frequency signal that is of a predetermined frequency band and modulated using 256-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). The magnitude slope, which is the ratio of (i) the change in a magnitude ratio between an input signal and an output signal to (ii) the change in the frequency of the input signal, is at least −0.1 dB/MHz and at most 0.1 dB/MHz in the predetermined frequency band.
Leakage and noise cancelling for double balanced duplexers
Systems and method are described for improving electrical isolation between a transmission signal and receiver circuitry of a transceiver communicating over one or more wireless networks via one or more shared antennas. The transceiver may include isolation circuitry to facilitate isolation of the transmission signal from the receiver circuitry. However, a leakage current of the transmission signal and noise signals may appear at the receiver circuitry. Presence of the leakage current or the noise signals in the receiver circuitry may cause interference with the reception signal. As such, the isolation circuitry may benefit from additional isolation between the transmission signal and the receiver circuitry to reduce an effect of the leakage current and the noise signals on the reception signal.
PIM model adaptation
Embodiments herein describe adapting a PIM model to compensate for changing PIM interference. A PIM model can include circuitry that generates a PIM compensation value that compensates for (i.e., mitigates or subtracts) PIM interference caused by transmitting two or more transmitter (TX) carriers in the same path. The disclosed adaptive scheme generates updated coefficients for the PIM model which are calculated after the RX signal has been removed from the RX channel. In this manner, as the PIM interference changes due to environmental conditions (e.g., temperature at the base station), the adaptive scheme can update the PIM model to generate a PIM compensation value that cancels the PIM interference.
