摘要： A multi-antenna device (200) comprising a set of antennas (210-214), a set of receivers (220-224), a multiplexer (270), a baseband filter (242), an analog-to-digital converter (244), and a de-multiplexer (272). The receivers (220-224) can be linked to the antennas (210-214) in a one-to-one manner. The multiplexer (270) can generate a composite analog signal from a set of different analog signals, one received from different ones of the antennas (210-214). The baseband filter (242) can filter the composite analog signal. The analog-to-digital converter (244) can convert the composite analog signal after being filtered by the baseband filter into a composite digital signal. The de-multiplexer (272) can generate a set of different digital signals from the composite digital signal. Each of the different digital signals can correspond to one of the different analog signals in a one-to-one manner.

摘要： A method and system for managing Digital to Time Conversion (DTC) is provided. The method comprises receiving a first Radio Frequency (RF) signal and a second RF signal. The second RF signal is a phase-shifted first RF signal. The method further comprises converting the first RF signal to a first Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal and the second RF signal to a second IF signal. Further, a time delay between the first IF signal and the second IF signal is estimated based on a time difference measurement technique. The second RF signal is processed based on the estimated time delay to compensate for a delay error associated with the second RF signal.

摘要： A frequency generation unit is provided that permits a receiver to tune from channel to channel without cycle skipping and in which compensation for phase offset introduced during tuning is provided. The frequency generation unit includes a fractional-N synthesizer, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a direct digital synthesizer (DDS). The fractional-N synthesizer generates frequencies from the VCO as well as a temperature controlled crystal oscillator. Outputs from the fractional-N synthesizer are supplied both the VCO and the DDS to control the VCO and DDS. The combination of the voltage controlled oscillator and fractional-N synthesizer is perpetually locked. The fractional-N synthesizer is maintained in a locked condition. The VCO output is provided to the DDS. An output from the DDS or from the fractional-N synthesizer forms the output signal of the frequency generation unit.

摘要： A method and apparatus for processing a radio frequency (RF) signal is provided. The method includes generating a periodic square wave local oscillator (LO) signal of a first phase, a periodic square wave LO signal of a second phase, and a chopping signal. The method further includes coding the periodic square wave LO signal of the first phase and the periodic square wave LO signal of the second phase synchronously with the chopping signal to generate a first set of synchronized signals (116, 118) and a second set of synchronized signals (120, 122), respectively. A phase difference between the first phase and the second phase is a predefined value. The RF signal is processed with the first set of synchronized signals (116, 118) and the second set of synchronized signals (120, 122) to obtain an in-phase intermediate frequency (IF) signal (132) and a quadrature-phase IF signal (142), respectively.

A radio frequency mixer (110) receives an RF signal input (104) and the local oscillator signal to produce an output signal (160) at a frequency related to a combination of a frequency of the RF signal input and a frequency of the local oscillator signal.
