A baseband chip may include a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal. The baseband chip may also include a receiver configured to receive a second signal that includes a receive signal portion and a harmonic interference portion leaked from the transmitter. The baseband chip may further include a harmonic model block configured to multiply a first output from a first harmonic model associated with an amplitude modulation phase modulation (AMPM) look-up table (LUT) and a second output of a second harmonic model associated with an AMAM LUT to generate a third output. The harmonic model block may be further configured to estimate the harmonic interference portion based at least in part on the third output. The baseband chip may also include an interference cancellation block configured to cancel the harmonic interference portion from the second signal to obtain the receive signal portion.

A receiver system for demodulating a high-entropy continuous phase modulation (HE-CPM) signal is disclosed. A plurality of complex multipliers is configured to receive the synchronized HE-CPM signal. Each of the complex multipliers removes a phase associated with a respective one of a plurality of inter-symbol interference (ISI) hypotheses and generates a respective one of a plurality of complex multiplier outputs. Each ISI hypothesis includes a previous chip hypothesis corresponding to a binary value for a previous chip, and a next chip hypothesis corresponding to a binary value for a next chip. A summer is configured to combine real parts of the plurality of complex multiplier outputs to generate a soft decision for a current chip of the HE-CPM signal.

For example, a transmitter, e.g., for a wireless communication device, may be configured to transmit a wideband Radio Frequency (RF) Transmit (Tx) signal having a wide bandwidth of at least 80 Megahertz (MHz). For example, the transmitter may be configured to generate the wideband RF Tx signal having the wide bandwidth based on a baseband signal. The transmitter may be configured to generate the wideband RF Tx signal including a suppressed third harmonic and a suppressed fifth harmonic.

A reflective microstrip tuning circuit that operatively couples to another circuit to be tuned, in which tuning circuit receives an incident signal from the other circuit and enables adjustment of the amplitude and/or phase of the return signal reflected by the tuning circuit for use in the other circuit. The tuning circuit includes one or more cascaded couplers that divide power from the incident signal unequally among a plurality of adjustable tuning arms, in which the tuning arms may be individually adjusted to change the phase of the signal that is reflected by each arm so that both the amplitude and phase of the signal returned by the tuning circuit is adjusted to achieve the desired tuning result. The difference in the power that is divided among the tuning arms provides a progressive weighting to the adjustment effect of each tuning arm, which provides for a series of coarse through fine adjustments that enables a greater degree of resolution when tuning.

The invention relates to a method for operating a first access node (100) of a first cellular network in which a first user entity (200) uses a first access technology with at least one first carrier frequency to access a first cell (110) of the first cellular network, the at least one first carrier frequency having a bandwidth. It comprises: determining that a second user entity (400) or a second access node (300) using a second access technology different from the first access technology may operate in the first cell (110) within the bandwidth of the at least one first carrier frequency in order to access a second cellular network, transmitting information to the first user entity (200) by which the first user entity is informed about the fact that the second user entity (400) or second access node may operate in the first cell within the bandwidth of the at least one first carrier frequency using the second access technology.
