A method and apparatus of distortion compensation during data transmission uses an interweaved look-up table (ILUT) to mitigate residual signal distortions in a signal transmitted over a transmission link. The ILUT interweaves states across both an I and a Q tributary to calculate mean error and an extended symbol basis. As a result, the method works particularly well against two-dimensional distortions like nonlinearity, IQ-imbalance, and quadrature error. The method may be used for either pre-compensation when it is combined with k-means clustering in a transmitter or post-compensation when it is combined with maximum likelihood (ML) detection in a receiver.

Systems and methods are directed to phase modulation of polar coordinates in a transmitter of wireless signals, to achieve high transmit power levels while meeting spectral mask and EVM requirements. An input signal is mapped to a sequence of modulation frequency (e.g., O-QPSK to MSK) to generate a mapped signal. A digital frequency shaping filter is applied to the mapped signal to generate a shaped signal. An adaptive rounding algorithm is applied to the shaped signal to generate a reduced bit-width signal. A digital frequency synthesizer is applied to the reduced bit-width signal to generate an analog waveform for transmission.

A cloud-based signal generator system is described. The signal generator system includes a server being connectable to at least one client via a computer communication network. The server includes a waveform definition module. The waveform definition module is configured to receive a user request. The waveform definition module further is configured to process the user request and to generate at least one signal parameter that is associated with a custom waveform based on the user request. The server further includes a waveform verification module. The waveform verification module is configured to analyze the custom waveform based on the at least one signal parameter, thereby generating waveform analysis data. The waveform verification module is configured to forward the waveform analysis data to the at least one client. Further, a method for providing a signal including a custom waveform is described.

A receiver circuit comprising an equalizer and a method of correcting offset in the equalizer. In an example, the equalizer includes a plurality of delay stages for sampling and storing a sequence input samples, and a plurality of coefficient gain stages, each coupled to a corresponding delay stage to apply a gain corresponding to a coefficient value. The outputs of the coefficient gain stages are summed to produce a weighted sum for quantization by a slicer. Offset correction circuitry is provided, including memory storing a look-up table (LUT) for each coefficient gain stage, each storing offset correction values corresponding to the available coefficient values for the coefficient gain stage. Addressing circuitry retrieves the offset correction values for the coefficient values currently selected for each gain stage, and applies an offset correction corresponding to the sum of the retrieved offset correction values.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced constellation shaping. A device may generate payload bits associated with a frame to be sent to a first station device. The device may generate a first output bits having a first length based on the application of a first mask of one or more masks to the payload bits. The device may generate a second output bits having a second length based on the application of a second mask of the one or more masks. The device may compare the first length of the first output bits to the second length of the second output bits. The device may select the first mask or the second mask based on the comparison. The device may convert the payload bits using the selected mask before passing through a shaping encoder to generate shaped bits. The device may cause to send the frame bits and an indication of the selected mask to the first station device.

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to demodulate data for fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR). In at least one embodiment, a processor includes one or more circuits to use a parallel processor to determine a signal value based, at least in part, on one or more predetermined probability values.

A device and method of operation for digital compensation of dynamic distortion. The transmitter device includes at least a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) connected to a lookup table (LUT), a first shift register, and a second shift register. The method includes iteratively adjusting the input values via the LUT to induce changes in the DAC output that compensate for dynamic distortion, which depends on precursors, current cursors, and postcursors. More specifically, the method includes producing and capturing average output values for each possible sequence of three symbols using the shift register and LUT configuration. Then, the LUT is updated with estimated values to induce desired output values that are adjusted to eliminate clipping. These steps are performed iteratively until one or more check conditions are satisfied. This method can also be combined with techniques such as equalization, eye modulation, and amplitude scaling to introduce desirable output signal characteristics.
