| 20140269988 | RADIO FREQUENCY DOMAIN DIGITAL PRE-DISTORTION - Digital pre-distortion (DPD) systems are often used to improve the linearity of a power amplifier in transmitters. These DPD systems are typically implemented in baseband (prior to modulation). However, ever increasing signal bandwidth requirements limits the practicality of DPD systems implemented in baseband. A DPD system in the radio frequency (RF) domain (as opposed to in baseband) can solve this problem and further improve a DPD system's ability to correct for distortions. The RF domain DPD system is upstream from a digital-to-analog converter, and performs DPD after a baseband signal is up-sampled into the RF domain (after the modulation process). When compared against a baseband DPD system, the RF domain DPD system can handle significantly wider bandwidth, and has an improved ability to linearize a wide variety of distortions present in the spectrum. | 09-18-2014 |

The current comparator can be configured to compare a first base current of the first transistor and a second base current of the second transistor to obtain a comparison value. The saturation controller can be configured to supply a reference signal to the RF attenuator based on the comparison value. The RF attenuator can be configured to modify the amplitude of an RF input signal supplied to the power amplifier based at least in part on the reference signal. | 06-30-2016 |
| 20160191208 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING SPACE FREQUENCY BLOCK CODING IN AN ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - The present invention is related to a method and apparatus for implementing space frequency block coding (SFBC) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication system. The present invention is applicable to both a closed loop mode and an open loop mode. In the closed loop mode, power loading and eigen-beamforming are performed based on channel state information (CSI). A channel coded data stream is multiplexed into two or more data streams. Power loading is performed based on the CSI on each of the multiplexed data streams. SFBC encoding is performed on the data streams for each of the paired subcarriers. Then, eigen-beamforming is performed based on the CSI to distribute eigenbeams to multiple transmit antennas. The power loading may be performed on two or more SFBC encoding blocks or on each eigenmodes. Additionally, the power loading may be performed across subcarriers or subcarrier groups for weak eigenmodes. | 06-30-2016 |
| 20160191282 | Ultra-Low Power Transmitter Applied in Multi-Channel Frequency Shift (FSK) Communication - An ultra-low power transmitter applied in multi-channel frequency shift keying (FSK) communication is provided. The transmitter includes a fixed-frequency generation device, a low-frequency frequency synthesizer, and an injection locking device. The fixed-frequency generation device provides a reference frequency to the low-frequency frequency synthesizer. The frequency synthesizer divides the reference frequency with corresponding divisors for generating a plurality of divided frequency signals. Then, the divided frequency signals are injected into the injection locking device. The injection locking device will lock at the average frequency of previously mentioned divided frequencies. Wherein, the injection locking device filters the high frequency noise, which is produced by the frequency synthesizer, at the time of the injection locking. The ultra-low power transmitter obtains a high-frequency transmitted signal by using the frequency-locked signal. | 06-30-2016 |
