This electronic notch filter is able to receive an input signal and deliver a filtered signal having an amplitude, at a cut-off frequency, that is attenuated with respect to that of the input signal.

It comprises a module for integrating the input signal during several successive time windows, each time window starting at a respective initial time instant and having a duration substantially equal to the inverse of the cut-off frequency, the initial temporal time instants of at least two distinct windows being separated by a temporal shift of a value greater than or equal to a predefined reference duration, each integration of the input signal during a respective temporal window resulting in a respective intermediate signal; and a module for summing the intermediate signals coming from the integration module; the filtered signal depending on the sum of said intermediate signals.

A controller is configured to control the adaptive notch filter and to execute a search technique (e.g., artificial intelligence (AI) search technique) to converge on filter coefficients and to recursively adjust the filter coefficients of the adaptive notch filter in real time to adaptively adjust one or more filter characteristics (e.g., maximum notch depth or attenuation, bandwidth of notch, or general magnitude versus frequency response of notch).

A receiving device is provided. The receiving device includes an antenna device, a filter circuit, a transceiver, an adjustable attenuator, a circulator, and a processor. The antenna device receives a received signal. The filter circuit separates an in-band signal and an out-band signal from the received signal. The adjustable attenuator adjusts the attenuation value corresponding to the in-band signal and transmits the adjusted in-band signal to the transceiver. The circulator receives the received signal from the antenna device and transmits the received signal to the filter circuit, and the circulator receives a reflected signal from the filter circuit. The processor determines how to adjust the attenuation value corresponding to the in-band signal according to information related to the out-band signal and information related to the in-band signal that has been processed by the adjustable attenuator and the transceiver.

A programmable filter includes a first programmable filter instance comprising a first adjustable active inductance capacitively coupled to a signal receive path, the capacitive coupling comprising at least one adjustable capacitance, the adjustable active inductance and the at least one adjustable capacitance configurable to provide a filter response at a first selected frequency, and a second programmable filter instance comprising a second adjustable active inductance capacitively coupled to the signal receive path, the capacitive coupling comprising at least one adjustable capacitance, the second adjustable active inductance and the at least one adjustable capacitance configurable to provide a filter response at a second selected frequency.

A method of enhancing wireless communication performance includes receiving information indicative of a local interferer where the local interferer is identified based on dynamic position information indicative of a position of at least one mobile communication node, performing noise cancellation relative to a received signal by removing an interference signal associated with the local interferer to generate a scrubbed signal, and providing the scrubbed signal for additional signal processing.

To achieve space saving and a reduction in cost. A radio-frequency module includes a band pass filter, a first low noise amplifier, a second low noise amplifier, and an attenuation filter. The band pass filter has an output terminal and allows the passage of a first reception signal and a second reception signal. The first low noise amplifier is connected to the output terminal of the band pass filter and amplifies the first reception signal. The second low noise amplifier is connected to the output terminal of the band pass filter and amplifies the second reception signal. The attenuation filter is provided on a common path between the output terminal of the band pass filter and the first low noise amplifier and between the output terminal of the band pass filter and the second low noise amplifier.

Aspects of this disclosure relate to a radio frequency system with tunable notch filtering. The radio frequency system includes a first tunable filter and a second tunable filter. The first tunable filter is coupled between an output of a power amplifier and a radio frequency switch. The second tunable filter includes mutually coupled inductors and a tunable impedance circuit electrically connected to at least one of the mutually coupled inductors. The second tunable filter is coupled between an antenna switch and an antenna node. Related methods and wireless communication devices are also disclosed.

A controller is configured to control the adaptive notch filter and to execute a search technique (e.g., artificial intelligence (AI) search technique) to converge on filter coefficients and to recursively adjust the filter coefficients of the adaptive notch filter in real time to adaptively adjust one or more filter characteristics (e.g., maximum notch depth or attenuation, bandwidth of notch, or general magnitude versus frequency response of notch).

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, one or more downlink grants scheduling one or more corresponding downlink transmissions from the base station to the UE. In some examples, the UE may enter a state of sleep prior to receiving the one or more downlink transmissions. In such examples, the UE may wake up from the state of sleep at a first time that is at least a threshold period of time before a second time corresponding to a beginning of the one or more downlink transmissions. After waking up from the state of sleep, the UE may activate a notch filter and use the activated notch filter to filter a spur generated at the UE. The UE may receive the one or more downlink transmissions with improved reliability based on activating the notch filter.
