Radio Transceiver Configured For Full Duplex Communication Over A Common Frequency Band And An Associated Method
A radio transceiver that includes a multi-channel receiver, a multi-channel transmitter and a controller is disclosed. The multi-channel receiver can be configured to concurrently receive first data frames, each including: (a) first data slots that are received over a first frequency channel that is variable between the first data slots, and (b) an error correction code (ECC). Concurrently, the multi-channel transmitter can be configured to transmit second data frames, each including second data slots that are transmitted over a second frequency channel that is variable between the second data slots, the first frequency channel and the second frequency channel being within a common frequency band. The controller can be configured to use the ECC of a respective first data frame of the first data frames to correct self-interference-based errors in the respective first data frame resulting from the transmission of one or more of the second data frames.

Full-duplex self-interference weakening method and full-duplex self-interference weakening system
This application provides a full-duplex self-interference weakening method and a full-duplex self-interference weakening system. The full-duplex self-interference weakening method includes: separately receiving, by a first port of a dual-polarized receive antenna and a second port of the dual-polarized receive antenna, a signal sent by a transmit antenna and adjusting and combining the signal received by the first port of the dual-polarized receive antenna and/or the signal received by the second port of the dual-polarized receive antenna, to weaken interference caused by the transmit antenna to the dual-polarized receive antenna. The full-duplex self-interference weakening method and the full-duplex self-interference weakening system provided in this application resolve a problem that a quantity of antennas and an antenna location are limited in an existing antenna interference cancelation method.
AMPLITUDE-TO-PHASE ERROR CORRECTION IN A TRANSCEIVER CIRCUIT
Amplitude-to-phase (AM-PM) error correction in a transceiver circuit is provided. The transceiver circuit is configured to generate a radio frequency (RF) signal from a time-variant input vector for transmission in one or more transmission frequencies. In embodiments disclosed herein, the transceiver circuit is configured to determine a phase correction term from the time-variant input vector and apply the determined phase correction term to the time-variant input vector to thereby correct an AM-PM error(s) in the RF signal. By correcting the AM-PM error(s) in the transceiver circuit, it is possible to prevent undesired amplitude distortion and/or spectrum regrowth in any of the transmission frequencies, particularly when the RF signal is modulated across a wide modulation bandwidth (e.g., ≥ 200 MHz).
