Abstract: Aspects of methods and systems for transceiver array synchronization are provided. An array based communications system comprises a plurality of transceiver circuits and an array coordinator. Each transceiver circuit of the plurality of transceiver circuits comprises a plurality of wireless transmitters and a local oscillator generator. Each wireless transmitter of the plurality of wireless transmitters is able to modulate a local oscillator signal from the local oscillator generator based on a weighted sum of a plurality of digital datastreams. The array coordinator is able to adjust a phase of a first local oscillator signal based on a phase difference between the first local oscillator signal and a second local oscillator signal. The first local oscillator signal is generated by a first local oscillator generator of a first transceiver circuit. The second local oscillator signal is generated by a second local oscillator generator of a second transceiver circuit.

Abstract: A system comprises an analog front end (AFE), an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and alias detection circuitry. The AFE may be operable to receive an analog signal via a communication medium, wherein a first frequency band of the analog signal is occupied by an OFDM symbol and a second frequency band of the analog signal is occupied by first aliases generated during digital-to-analog conversion of the OFDM symbol. The ADC is operable to digitize the particular band of the analog signal to generate a digital signal, wherein, during the digitization, aliasing of the first aliases results in second aliases which fall into the first frequency band. The alias detection circuitry is operable to detect the second aliases in the first frequency band of the digital signal, and process the digital signal based on the detected second aliases to generate an output signal.

Abstract: Method and systems are provided for controlling adjustments of reception functions. Communication links may be setup between a transmitter and a receiver along with sideband control channels. Conditions and/or parameters, affecting estimated performance of reception, via the communication links, at the receiver, may then be monitored at the transmit-side, and information relating to the monitored conditions may then be communicated, via the sideband control channels, to enable adjusting reception related functions at the receiver. The reception related functions comprise analog-to-digital conversion, which may be configured to function in an interleaved manner.

Abstract: An integrated circuit may comprise a digital logic circuit, a memory refresh circuit, and DRAM cells. A first portion of the DRAM cells may be refreshed by the memory refresh circuit. The DRAM cells store data received via a communication link and a rate at which the first portion of the DRAM cells is refreshed may be adjusted based on a symbol rate at which the data is received via the communication link. The DRAM cells may include one-transistor (“1T”) cells. The adjustment of the rate at which the first portion of the DRAM cells is refreshed may include an enabling of refresh of the first portion of the DRAM cells by the memory refresh circuit during a first time interval and a disabling of refresh of the first portion of the DRAM cells by the memory refresh circuit during a second time interval.
