Disclosed herein are devices and methods to reduce unwanted CIMS emission in a wireless communication device, such that the transmit (TX) power level applied in a RU can be increased without exceeding a regulatory emission requirement. In some aspects, unwanted emission may be reduced by shifting or changing local oscillator (LO) frequencies during TX operation. Some embodiments are directed to a fast-locking PLL with adjustable bandwidth that can be controlled to increase the PLL bandwidth during the RX to TX transition to provide a fast locking to a new LO frequency. Some aspects are directed to configuring an LO frequency shift amount for different RUs when multiple RUs are allocated within a frequency band.

Systems, devices, and techniques for allowing communication between two or more computing devices are described herein. For example, a method includes receiving, by a first computing device configured to operate in accordance with a first wireless protocol, one or more data packets via one or more signals output by a second computing device according to a second wireless protocol, where the first computing device is not configured to operate in accordance with the second wireless protocol. Additionally, or alternatively, a method includes receiving, by a first computing device configured to operate in accordance with a first wireless protocol, at least one signal including a data packet, wherein a payload of the data packet comprises an indication of a symbol defined in accordance with a second wireless protocol.

Within many applications impulse radio based ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmission offers significant benefits for very short range high data rate communications when compared with existing standards and protocols. In many of these applications the main design goals are very low power consumption and very low complexity design for easy integration and cost reduction. Digitally programmable IR-UWB transmitters using an on-off keying modulation scheme on a 0.13 microns CMOS process operating on 1.2 V supply and yielding power consumption as low as 0.9 mW at a 10 Mbps data rate with dynamic power control are enabled. The IR-UWB transmitters support new frequency hopping techniques providing more efficient spectrum usage and dynamic allocation of the spectrum when transmitting in highly congested frequency bands. Biphasic scrambling is also introduced for spectral line reduction. Additionally, an energy detection receiver for IR-UWB is presented to similarly meet these design goals whilst being adaptable to address IR-UWB transmitter specificity.

A detector circuit includes: a squaring circuit configured to receive an output of a power amplifier of a radio transmitter and to produce an output current, the output of the power amplifier including: a desired tone; a local oscillator leakage tone; and an image tone, and the output current of the squaring circuit including: a direct current (DC) component including a function of the desired tone and an alternating current (AC) component; and a DC current absorber electrically connected to an output terminal of the squaring circuit, the DC current absorber being configured to filter out the DC component of the output current of the squaring circuit to produce a filtered output of the squaring circuit, the filtered output including the AC component including functions of the local oscillator leakage tone and the image tone.

The present embodiments are directed to a device for generating radio frequency signals, including high power radio frequency signals. In certain embodiments, the device comprises multiple transmission lines driven in parallel at their input and connected in series at their output. The electromagnetic transit lengths of the transmission lines may be unequal. A series connection of the transmission lines at the output may produce an output signal from each transmission line driving the same polarity signal to the load. The series connection of transmission lines at the output may produce a bipolar output signal. One section of the device may convert a unipolar input signal into a bipolar signal. One section of the device may duplicate the input signal. Multiple sections may be arranged to convert a unipolar input signal into multiple radio frequency oscillations.
