CHANNEL FILTERING IN A USER EQUIPMENT
A user equipment, method and computer program for adjusting an effective centre frequency of channel filter in a user equipment to improve the adjacent selectivity when the network is transmitting on an irregular bandwidth channel and the user equipment is receiving the signal via a channel filter that has a wider pass band than the bandwidth of the channel. The method comprises filtering received wireless communication signals at a channel filter. Identifying a preferred centre frequency for the channel filter by: adjusting a centre frequency of the channel filter; determining a level of adjacent channel selectivity of signals filtered by the channel filter; comparing a level of adjacent channel selectivity at different centre frequencies of the channel filter; and identifying the preferred centre frequency as the centre frequency that provides a highest level of adjacent channel selectivity.
RADIO FREQUENCY TRIPLER SYSTEMS AND METHODS THEREOF
This frequency tripler system uses a cascade of integrated transistor circuit differential limiting amplifiers and tunable notch filters that can directly serve one or more outputs, such as a direct clock or local oscillator drive. With this topology, filtering is distributed between two or more stages of differential limiting amplifiers and tunable notch filters. This enables suppression of smaller fundamental tone by the differential limiting amplifiers along with the tunable notch filters and yields a strong third harmonic signal to directly drive high performance mixers and digital-to-analog converters.

A receiver for OFDM subcarriers has a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, a tunable system clock is output at a nominal frequency, and in the second mode, the tunable system clock is offset so that a harmonic of the tunable system clock coincides with a particular OFDM subcarrier. The tunable system clock is coupled to a programmable modem PLL clock generator which generates clocks for an A/D converter coupled to a baseband processor which is also coupled to the programmable modem PLL clock generator. The programmable modem PLL clock generator is programmed to maintain a constant output frequency of each output in the first mode and the second mode.
