TRANSFORMER, TRANSMITTER CIRCUIT, SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP, SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGE, BASE STATION, MOBILE DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR A RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMITTER
The present disclosure relates to a concept for a transformer, a transmitter circuit, a semiconductor chip, a semiconductor package, a base station, a mobile device and a method for a radio frequency transmitter. The transformer for a radio frequency transmitter circuit comprises a primary coil and a secondary coils, which are configured to receive an input signal and to provide an output signal, and a ternary coil configured to provide a feedback signal.
Active interference cancellation apparatus, signal isolation control apparatus and method of actively cancelling interference
An apparatus includes a receiver chain includes an input node and a transmitter chain comprising a tap and output nodes. An auxiliary transmitter chain comprises an auxiliary input node coupled to the tap node, an adaptive filter unit and a signal output coupled to the input node. The filter unit includes an interpolation processor, and an adaptive filter and a coefficient processor coupled to the receiver chain and the adaptive filter. The transmitter chain generates a first waveform comprising a plurality of frequency-separated signals. Contemporaneously, the auxiliary chain applies a second waveform comprising another plurality of frequency-separated signals at the input node. The receiver chain receives a composite waveform comprising a waveform coupled from the output node and the second waveform. The first waveform lacks signals required for determination of coefficients of the filter whose frequencies coincide with the another plurality of signals of the second waveform.
NOISE REDUCING RECEIVER
Disclosed is receiver for a noise limited system. A front-end circuit amplifies and band-limits an incoming signal. The amplification increases the signal swing but introduces both thermal and flicker noise. A low-pass band limitation reduces the thermal noise component present at frequencies above what is necessary for correctly receiving the transmitted symbols. This band limited signal is provided to the integrator circuit. The output of the integrator is equalized to reduce the effects of inter-symbol interference and then sampled. The samples are used to apply low frequency equalization (i.e., in response to long and/or unbalanced strings of symbols) to mitigate the effects of DC wander caused by mismatches between the number of symbols of each kind being received.
Self-interference cancellation for in-band full duplex single antenna communication systems
An analog self-interference cancellation technique for In-Band Full-Duplex (IBFD) systems generates an inherent secondary self-interference (SI) signal of a circulator and uses that signal to cancel a primary SI signal leaked from a transmitter port within a communication device. The communication device manipulates the phase and angle of this secondary SI, using an adjustable Impedance Mismatch Terminal (IMT) circuit. The result is an efficient SI cancellation technique in the analog domain, which uses the circulator inherent SI signals.

Communication method and apparatus with reduced power consumption in a multi-antenna environment
A communications apparatus includes a phase correction unit, a first radio frequency channel, a first analog bridge, a second radio frequency channel, and a second analog bridge. A first signal is sent to a first input end using the first radio frequency channel, and is divided into at least two channels of first sub-signals by using the first analog bridge. The at least two channels of first sub-signals are respective output from at least two first output ends to at least two first antenna arrays. Similarly, a second signal is divided into at least two channels of second sub-signals by using the second analog bridge, and the at least two channels of second sub-signals are output to at least two second antenna arrays. A first channel of first sub-signal and a first channel of second sub-signal are coupled to the phase correction unit by using a coupler.
Network-on-Chip topology generation
The present disclosure provides computer-based methods and a system for synthesizing a NoC that advantageously generate balanced NoC topologies without end-to-end fairness or local credit-based arbitration, and improve NoC performance when destination device bridge ports support only one incoming physical link per channel. More particularly, a clock domain is assigned to certain routers that satisfies the minimum frequency for the router while reducing clock domain transitions to neighboring routers, and the traffic flows received by these routers are balanced based on the traffic flow packet rates.
