SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SIGNAL PATH ISOLATION FOR NEUTRAL-HOST HARDWARE
Systems and methods for signal path isolation for neutral-host hardware are provided. In one embodiment, an isolation circuit for a multiple-subchannel wireless communication transceiver comprises: a Tx path coupled to a transmit path output of a multiple-subchannel transceiver; a Rx path coupled to a receive path input of the transceiver; a precancellation circuit comprising: an isolation adjustment circuit within the transmit path of the isolation circuit, the isolation adjustment circuit comprising a phase shifter and a reflection tuner; a directional coupler within the Rx path of the isolation circuit. The isolation adjustment circuit outputs a reflected wave signal comprising a cancellation reference signal to the directional coupler. The cancellation reference signal comprises a complex conjugate of a TX signal leakage signal component of a signal transported in the Rx path of the isolation circuit. Within the directional coupler the cancellation reference signal destructively interferes with TX signal leakage signal component.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OUT-OF-BAND INTERFERENCE MITIGATION
A system for interference mitigation including a transmit coupler that samples the RF transmit signal to create a sampled RF transmit signal; a transmit analog canceller that transforms the RF transmit signal to an RF interference cancellation signal, according to a first configuration state; a first receive coupler that combines the RF interference cancellation signal and the RF receive signal to generate a composite RF receive signal; a sampling analog interference filtering system that, in order to remove interference in the transmit band, filters the sampled RF transmit signal to generate a cleaned transmit signal; a first frequency downconverter that converts the transmit signal to a BB transmit signal; a second frequency downconverter that converts the composite RF receive signal to a composite BB receive signal; and an analog-to-digital converter that converts the transmit signal to a digital transmit signal.
INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY AMPLIFIER WITH A CONFIGURABLE HIGH-PASS FILTER
A device comprises a digital ramp generator, an oscillator, a power amplifier, a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a mixer, and an intermediate frequency amplifier (IFA). The oscillator generates a chirp signal based on an output from the digital ramp generator. The power amplifier receives the chirp signal and outputs an amplified chirp signal to a transmitter antenna. The LNA receives a reflected chirp signal from a receiver antenna. The mixer receives output of the LNA and combines it with the chirp signal from the oscillator. The IFA receives the mixer output signal and includes a configurable high-pass filter, which has a first cutoff frequency during a first portion of the chirp signal and a second cutoff frequency during a second portion of the chirp signal. In some implementations, the first cutoff frequency is chosen based on a frequency of a blocker signal introduced by couplings between the transmitter and receiver antennas.
Communication apparatus
According to an embodiment, a communication apparatus creates a prediction model taking into consideration of the actual fluctuation of a self-interference signal. The communication apparatus selects, where the self-interference signal has largely fluctuated, a prediction model in accordance with a fluctuation pattern at an early stage of the fluctuation. The communication apparatus generates a cancel signal by control applying a gain and an amount of phase shift represented by the prediction model.
A CONCEPT FOR INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION IN A TRANSCEIVER DEVICE
The present disclosure is directed to improvements in interference mitigation for Adjacent Channel Leakage in wireline communication, and more specifically, but not exclusively, to improved kernel designs that can facilitate interference mitigation for Adjacent Channel Leakage in cable modem systems. Examples of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for a transceiver device that comprises interference cancellation circuitry configured to cancel interference caused by upstream signals in one or more upstream sub-bands on one or more downstream sub-bands based on a combination of a plurality of kernels. The interference is at least partially caused by non-linearities within a transmission circuitry of the transceiver device, the plurality of kernels representing the non-linearities within the transmission circuitry of the transceiver device. Each of the kernels comprises one or more associated terms, with each of the associated terms being in-band for at least one of the one or more downstream sub-bands.

INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, TRANSMISSION-SIDE APPARATUS AND METHOD
When signals are simultaneously received from K transmission-side apparatuses by a receiving antenna, and repetition is performed by the K transmission-side apparatuses, an information processing apparatus is configured to: in order to obtain a transmitted reference signal x(k,n) transmitted from a transmission-side apparatus k (k=1, . . . , K) by the n-th reference signal transmission in the repetition, acquire a phase rotation amount φ(g,n) given to a transmitted reference signal x(k) and assigned to a group g to which the transmission-side apparatus k belongs and transmit the phase rotation amount φ(g,n) to the transmission-side apparatus k. The phase rotation amount φ(g,n) is acquired so that received reference signals from transmission-side apparatuses not belonging to the group g are cancelled when a phase rotation amount opposite to the phase rotation amount φ(g,n) is given to a received reference signal r(n), and the first to N-th received reference signals in the repetition are added.
