An equalizer having a split folded cascode architecture includes a circuit having a differential pair with a single tail current source and split folded cascode branches. The single tail current source eliminates the input referred offset due to a mismatch in current sources. The folded cascode amplifier acts as the equalizer, which is split into a derivative path and a proportional path. The derivative path boosts the high frequency components of the received signal. The gain of the low frequency components of the received signal is adjusted by the proportional path. The derivative path includes variable capacitors and variable resistors which allow fixing a ‘zero’ frequency and peak gain frequency to a predetermined value, wherein frequencies greater than the ‘zero’ frequency are boosted. The proportional path includes variable resistors, which allow adjusting the low frequency gain without affecting the ‘zero’ frequency and peak gain frequency.

Example operations may include obtaining a first received signal of a first wireless transmission by a transmitting device of a wireless signal received at a receiving device. The operations may also include obtaining a second received signal of a second wireless transmission by the transmitting device that is a retransmission of the wireless signal also received at the receiving device. The operations may further include determining, based on the first received signal and the second received signal, an equalization of distortion of propagation of the wireless signal between the transmitting device and the receiving device. In addition, the operations may include generating an equalized signal based on the determined signal equalization, wherein the equalized signal is an estimate of the wireless signal as transmitted by the transmitting device.

There is provided systems and methods for mitigating interference from an interference signal. In one implementation the system comprises cancellation circuitry configured to: receive a first signal from a first antenna, the first signal comprising an interference component deriving from the interference signal and a desired component deriving from a desired signal; and receive a second signal comprising an interference component deriving from the interference signal and received at one or more of a different antenna or a different frequency to the first signal. The interference component in the second signal is stronger than that the interference component in the first signal. The cancellation circuitry is further configured to derive a cancellation signal from the second signal; generate an output signal by subtracting the cancellation signal from the input signal to substantially remove the interference component from the first signal; and output the output signal.

A balancing circuit which may compensate for bandwidth attenuation introduced by interference between signals includes an amplifying circuit, a rising edge detection circuit and/or a falling edge detection circuit. By means of detecting the rising/falling edge of an original signal, the resulting pulse signal contains the phase information of a single “0” bit and a single “1” bit in the original signal, thus the phase of a rising edge or the phase of a falling edge of the original signal may be compensated respectively, so as to compensate for the high-frequency attenuation caused by interference between signals.

A system for controlling equalization applied to a received signal comprising an equalizer configured to equalize on a received signal to generate an equalized signal, and a clock recovery module configured to recover a clock signal from the equalized signal or the received signal. A clock adjustment system is configured to receive the clock signal, and at least one control signal, to create a sampling clock signal. A filter is configured to filter the equalized signal to create a filtered signal. A sampling unit samples the filtered signal or the equalized signal such that the output of the sampling unit is provided to a controller. The controller is configured to receive and process the output of the sampling unit to generate a boost signal, and the controller is further configured to provide the boost signal to the equalizer to control the amount of equalization performed by the equalizer.

For example, there is provided a method implemented at a passive optical network device configured to perform high-rate communication via a bandwidth-limited link. The method comprises: receiving, via the bandwidth-limited link, a training signal from an optical network unit; obtaining a delay signal by delay-sampling the training signal; determining, based on the delay signal, a first channel response of the bandwidth-limited link, the first channel response characterizing change of the training signal caused by the bandwidth-limited link; and compensating, based on the first channel response, a communication signal received via the bandwidth-limited link from the optical network unit, to reduce distortion of the communication signal. A corresponding apparatus is also disclosed.

A control information sending/receiving method and device are provided, to implement indicating a time-frequency location of a control channel to a terminal device in a 5G NR system or a future evolved LTE system. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, broadcast information; determining, from at least two predefined time-domain locations, a time-domain location of a broadcast channel carrying the broadcast information; determining a time-domain location of a control channel based on the time-domain location of the broadcast channel; and performing control channel detection in the determined time-domain location of the control channel.

In a transmitter apparatus, a known reference signal is superimposed on top of a data signal that is typically not known a priori to a receiver and the combined signal is transmitted. At a receiver, an iterative channel estimation and equalization technique is used to recover the reference signal and the unknown data signal. In the initial iteration, the known reference signal is recovered by treating the data signal as noise. Subsequent iterations are used to improve estimation of received reference signal and the unknown data signal.
