Low-complexity inverse sinc for RF sampling transmitters
A radio-frequency (RF) sampling transmitter (e.g., of the type that may be used in 5G wireless base stations) includes a complex baseband digital-to-analog converter (DAC) response compensator that operates on a complex baseband signal at a sampling rate lower than the sampling rate of an RF sampling DAC in the RF sampling transmitter. The DAC response compensator flattens the sample-and-hold response of the RF sampling DAC only in the passband of interest, addressing the problem of a sinc response introduced by the sample-and-hold operation of the RF sampling DAC and avoiding the architectural complexity and high power consumption of an inverse sinc filter that operates on the signal at a point in the signal chain after it has already been up-converted to an RF passband.
Filter and multiplexer
A transmission filter includes a transmission filter circuit and an additional circuit. The transmission filter circuit defines a first signal path connecting a first terminal and a second terminal. The additional circuit is connected to a first node located between the first terminal and the transmission filter circuit on the first signal path and a second node located between the second terminal and the transmission filter circuit on the first signal path and defines a second signal path connecting the first node and the second node. The additional circuit includes, on the second signal path, a resonator group, a capacitive element, and an inductance element. The inductance element is electromagnetically coupled to the transmission filter circuit.
Iterative beam training method for accessing a mm-wave network
A fast beam training method for a couple of user equipment, UE, and base station, BS, belonging to a mobile communication network such as a 5G network. A pair of iterative loops involves the UE and the BS, and iteratively refine the respective orientation and beamwidth of the transmit beam at the BS side and receive beam at UE side, based on an iteratively refined estimate of the UE position and Angle of Arrival at the UE. The iterative loops can be performed in series or in parallel. The beam training method converges when predetermined constraints on the standard deviations of the estimated UE position and estimated angle of arrival of the downlink signal at the UE are both met. The refined position of the UE can be used for a subsequent localization-assisted communication.
FULL DUPLEX USING OAM
A transceiver for transmitting and receiving full duplex communications includes transmitter and receiver circuitry. The transmitter circuitry transmits from a first location first signals having a first orthogonal function +l.sub.n applied thereto on a first channel on a first frequency band to a second location. The receiver circuitry receives at the first location second signals on a second channel on the first frequency band from the second location having a second orthogonal function −l.sub.n applied thereto and the first signals having the first orthogonal function +l.sub.n applied thereto on the first channel on the first frequency band from the first location at a same time on the first frequency band. The receiver circuitry only processes received signals including the second orthogonal function −l.sub.n. The first signals on the first channel are transmitted on the first frequency band on the first frequency band at a same time the second signals on the second channel are received on the first frequency band on the first frequency band.
