    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for estimation a wireless channel are disclosed. For example, the method correlates, by a correlator, a plurality of signals of a combined signal received by a receive antenna over the wireless channel from a plurality of transmit antennas, with respective DMRSs of the plurality of transmit antennas, converts, by a converter, the correlated plurality of signals from frequency to time domain, iteratively peak cancels, by a peak canceller, a largest peak of the combined impulse response and stores a scaling factor and location pair of the cancelled peak until a magnitude of a next largest peak is below a predetermined threshold, assigns, by an assigner, each of the scaling factor and location pairs to a transmit antenna, and estimates, by an estimator, for each of the plurality of transmit antennas, the wireless channel based on the assigned scaling factor and location pairs.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of reducing quantization noise using a pyramid stream encoder are generally described. Groups of D digital symbols are iteratively computed for a digital signal such that each group of symbols minimizes a norm of a weighted residue vector. The weighted residue vector is formed by applying predetermined weighting coefficients to components of a residue vector. Each component is a difference between a sample of the digital signal and a linear combination of different groups of digital symbols with predefined filter coefficients. The norm of the weighted residue vector evaluated at a rate D times slower than a sampling rate of an output signal. The groups of D digital symbols are provided as the output signal.

    Abstract: A system and method for digital correction for a dynamically varying non-linear system. The system includes a correction circuitry including at least one look-up table (LUT). The correction circuitry is configured to receive an input signal and modify the input signal to be processed by the non-linear system using at least one LUT to correct non-linearity incurred by the non-linear system. The at least one LUT is addressed by a magnitude or power of the input signal and a dynamically varying parameter associated with the input signal. The dynamically varying parameter may be one of average signal power of the input signal, a differential of the average power of the input signal, a directional beam index, or temperature.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for cancelling local oscillator feedthrough (LOFT). A transmitter includes a first mixer configured to mix a transmit signal with a first local oscillator signal. An observation receiver receives a fraction of a power of the transmit signal as a feedback signal and processes the feedback signal. The observation receiver includes a second mixer configured to mix the feedback signal with a second local oscillator signal. A LOFT correction estimation circuitry is configured to determine a DC offset to cancel LOFT at the first mixer in the transmitter based on measurements on outputs of the second mixer. An LOFT correction circuitry is configured to add the DC offset to the transmit signal. The LOFT correction estimation circuitry may determine the DC offset based on several measurements obtained by varying the DC offset and a phase shift in the second local oscillator signal in the observation receiver.
