    Abstract: A phase locked loop may be operable to generate, utilizing a frequency multiplier, a reference clock signal whose frequency is an integer M times a frequency of a crystal clock signal and is keyed on both rising and falling edges of the crystal clock signal. The phase locked loop may enable usage of both rising and falling edges of the crystal clock signal, based on the reference clock signal. The phase locked loop may perform an operation of the phase locked loop based on the enabling. The phase locked loop may perform a phase comparison function, based on both rising and falling edges of the crystal clock signal. By utilizing a sampled loop filter in the phase locked loop, the phase locked loop may eliminate, at an output of a charge pump in the phase locked loop, disturbance which is associated with duty cycle errors of the crystal clock signal.

    Abstract: A network device may receive a signal from a headend, wherein a bandwidth of the received signal spans from a low frequency to a high frequency and encompasses a plurality of sub-bands. The network device may determine, based on communication with the headend, whether one of more of the sub-bands residing above a threshold frequency are available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the circuitry. The network device may digitize the signal using an ADC operating at a sampling frequency. The sampling frequency may be configured based on a result of the determining. When the sub-band(s) are available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the network device, the sampling frequency may be set to a relatively high frequency. When the sub-band(s) are not available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the network device, the sampling frequency may be set to a relatively low frequency.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in multichannel transmissions. A plurality of frequency-domain symbols may be generated and assigned to a plurality of subcarriers associated with a multichannel transmission. The subcarriers may be assigned to a plurality of channels used for the multichannel transmission, with a number of the channels being different than a number of the subcarriers. A plurality of time-domain signals corresponding to the plurality of channels may be generated, and an adjustment may be applied to at least one time-domain signal, to generate a corresponding adjusted time-domain signal. The adjustment may be configured based on one or more characteristic associated with at least two of the frequency-domain symbols. Handling related information may be communicated form the transmit-side to the receive-side, such as using spare carriers, to enable handling an output corresponding to the plurality of time-domain signals.

    Abstract: A transceiver comprises local oscillator circuitry, phase noise determination circuitry, mixing circuitry, and digital signal processing circuitry. The local oscillator circuitry is operable to generate a local oscillator signal. The phase noise determination circuitry is operable to introduce a frequency-dependent phase shift to the local oscillator signal to generate a phase-shifted version of the local oscillator signal. The mixing circuitry is operable to mix the local oscillator signal and the phase-shifted version of the local oscillator to generate a baseband signal having an amplitude proportional to a phase difference between the local oscillator signal and the phase-shifted version of the local oscillator signal. The digital signal processing circuitry is operable to process the baseband signal to determine a phase error of the local oscillator signal, and perform signal compensation based on the determined phase error.

    Abstract: In a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that includes one or more conversion circuits, with each conversion circuit configured to handle one or more bits in an input signal to the DAC, one or more types of errors that occur during operation of the DAC may be detected, and one or more adjustments may be determined for correcting the one or more types of errors that occur during operation of the DAC and/or for reducing effects resulting from the one or more types of errors. At least one of the one or more adjustments may applied, with the at least one of the one or more adjustments is applied to only a subset of one or more conversion circuits. The DAC may be adaptive switched among a plurality of modes, and adjustments may be applied only in one or more of the modes but not in all of the modes.

    Abstract: A communications network comprises performance determination circuitry and link control circuitry. The performance determination circuitry is operable to determine performance of a microwave backhaul link between a first microwave backhaul transceiver and a second microwave backhaul transceiver. The microwave backhaul link backhauls traffic of a mobile access link. The link control circuitry is operable to, in response to an indication from the performance determination circuitry that the performance of the microwave backhaul link has degraded, adjust one or more signaling parameters used for the mobile access link. The link control circuitry is operable to, in response to the indication that the performance of the microwave backhaul link has degraded, adjust one or more signaling parameters used for the backhaul link in combination with the adjustment of the parameter(s) of the access link.

    Abstract: An electronic receiver may generate a differential detection sequence based on a received symbol sequence and based on a m-symbol delayed version of the received symbol sequence, where in is an integer greater than 1. The particular differential detection sequence may be a result of an element-by-element multiplication of the particular received symbol sequence and the conjugate of an in-symbol delayed version of the particular received symbol sequence. The receiver may calculate differential decision metrics based on the differential detection sequence and based on a set of differential symbol sequences generated from the set of possible transmitted symbol sequences. The receiver may generate a decision as to which of a set of possible transmitted symbol sequences resulted in the received symbol sequence, where the decision is based on the differential decision metrics and the set of possible transmitted symbols sequences.
