| 333018000 | With control of equalizer and/or delay network | 7 |
| 20080224793 | Joint phased training of equalizer and echo canceller - A method and apparatus for joint training of an analog equalizer (AEQ) and an analog echo canceller (AEC), which both process an input analog signal in the analog domain. In one embodiment, the method includes joint training the AEQ and the AEC using independent analog error signals. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090051458 | Receiver With Adaptive Equalizer - Receivers and methods for receiving a signal may result in improved performance by resolving specific impairments at particular levels. For example, bit error ratio (BER) in the downstream signal of an HFC network may be improved by resolving up to 6% AM hum. Thus, the receivers and methods described herein may function with dramatically improved error rates and continuous FEC lock, in relation to conventional receivers, in the presence of SCTE 40 impairments and full channel loading over the receivers entire input dynamic range. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090167452 | TRANSMISSION CHARACTERISTIC ADJUSTMENT DEVICE, CIRCUIT SUBSTRATE, AND TRANSMISSION CHARACTERISTIC ADJUSTMENT METHOD - A transmission characteristic adjustment device and the like that can carry out circuit adjustment before an error occurs, and has a transmission characteristic with high reliability without generating an error are provided. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100013570 | WAVEFORM EQUALIZER - Tap coefficients of an FIR filter are prevented from converging to wrong values. A waveform equalizer for performing waveform equalization of an input signal and outputting a waveform equalization result as an output signal includes: an FIR filter for performing a convolution operation between the input signal and a plurality of tap coefficients; an IIR filter for performing a convolution operation between the output signal and a plurality of tap coefficients; an adding section for adding an operation result of the FIR filter and an operation result of the IIR filter and outputting an addition result as the output signal; an error detecting section for detecting an error of the output signal; and a tap coefficient updating section for updating respective tap coefficients of the FIR filter and the IIR filter based on the error. The tap coefficient updating section sets a step size for updating the tap coefficients of the FIR filter to a value smaller than a step size for updating the tap coefficients of the IIR filter during a period from start of operation of the waveform equalizer until a predetermined condition is satisfied. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20120235763 | EQUALIZER AND EQUALIZING METHOD - An equalizer and a related equalizing method for equalizing signal reflection caused by a stub at a transmitting end are provided. The equalizer includes a summing device and a delay device. The summing device is utilized for adding a feedback delay signal to the input signal to generate the equalized signal. The delay device is coupled to the summing device, and utilized for delaying the equalized signal to generate the feedback delay signal. Wherein the delay device has a variable delay time and the variable delay time is a non-integer multiple of a bit time of the input signal. | 09-20-2012 |
| 20130099873 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PHASE SHIFTING A RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) SIGNAL FOR A BASE STATION ANTENNA - Methods and devices for phase shifting an RF signal for a base station antenna are provided. The device includes a transmission line that has a stationary ground plane coupled to the top of a substrate and a signal line on the bottom of the substrate. The signal line has an input port and an output port. The input port receives the RF signal with a certain phase and travels across the bottom of the substrate to the output port. The RF signal has a different phase at the output port because defected ground structures etched on the stationary ground plane shift the phase of the RF signal. In addition, the device includes a movable ground plane that may cover a portion of the defected ground structures, the substrate, and the stationary ground plane such that the moveable ground plane further adjusts the phase of the RF signal. | 04-25-2013 |
| 20140368289 | Controlled Large Signal Capacitor and Inductor - An electrical resonance network comprising a first capacitor and a first inductor whose resonance frequency can be tuned by means of a second capacitor and/or a second inductor. The resulting effective capacitor- or inductor value of a network period is controlled by a variable coupling respectively decoupling interval by means of at least one coupling switch. The coupling respectively decoupling interval is synchronized by a sign change of a current and/or voltage in the network | 12-18-2014 |
