Abstract:
A receiver is configured to determine a scaling factor and a carrier-to-interference cap for a communication signal based on the modulation format used or a measured carrier-to-interference ratio. The carrier-to-interference cap sets the limit for clipping of the signal to interference-plus-noise ratio of the communication signal.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for compensating l-Q imbalance in a wireless receiver. The receiver may employ a quadrature down-converter (706, 708) configured to receive an RF signal input (702) and output an in-phase component and a quadrature component at an IF an IF rotation block (726, 728) configured to down-convert the in-phase and quadrature components to baseband and an l-Q correction block (736) configured to compensate for an l-Q imbalance in the received signal, wherein the l-Q correction block is positioned downstream from the IF rotation block in the signal path. Performing the l-Q correction after conversion to baseband and sample decimation (734) may allow the compensation calculations to operate at a reduced digital rate. Similarly, digitally adjusting the gain of the signal (732) prior to l-Q compensation may reduce the number of bits that are manipulated during the compensation process. These features may represent significant efficiencies as compared to l-Q corrections performed at IF.
