| 20090086805 | APPARATUS FOR, AND METHOD OF, PROCESSING SIGNALS TRANSMITTED OVER A LOCAL AREA NETWORK - Systems for recovering communicated information in a communication system are disclosed and may include at least one digitizer for digitizing an analog received signal comprising the communicated information, thereby creating a digital received signal. The system may include at least one filter for bandwidth-limiting at least a portion of the digital received signal. At least one feed forward equalizer may be used for equalizing at least a portion of the bandwidth-limited signal to create an equalized signal. At least one converter for creating a data signal according to at least the equalized signal. At least one soft decision circuit for creating a soft decision signal according to the data signal. The soft decision circuit may cancel at least a portion of the equalized signal. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100172060 | System and Method for ESD Protection - An integrated receiver with channel selection and image rejection substantially implemented on a single CMOS integrated circuit is described. A receiver front end provides programmable attenuation and a programmable gain low noise amplifier. Frequency conversion circuitry advantageously uses LC filters integrated onto the substrate in conjunction with image reject mixers to provide sufficient image frequency rejection. Filter tuning and inductor Q compensation over temperature are performed on chip. The filters utilize multi track spiral inductors. The filters are tuned using local oscillators to tune a substitute filter, and frequency scaling during filter component values to those of the filter being tuned. In conjunction with filtering, frequency planning provides additional image rejection. The advantageous choice of local oscillator signal generation methods on chip is by PLL out of band local oscillation and by direct synthesis for in band local oscillator. The VCOs in the PLLs are centered using a control circuit to center the tuning capacitance range. A differential crystal oscillator is advantageously used as a frequency reference. Differential signal transmission is advantageously used throughout the receiver. ESD protection is provided by a pad ring and ESD clamping structure that maintains signal integrity. Also provided are shunts at each pin to discharge ESD build up. The shunts utilize a gate boosting structure to provide sufficient small signal RF performance, and minimal parasitic loading. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20110013534 | Receiver Having Integrated Spectral Analysis Capability - A method of managing traffic in a communications channel includes the steps of receiving a subscriber ID corresponding to a subscriber, performing a spectral analysis on a signal received from the subscriber within a time interval identified by the subscriber ID, and adjusting transmission characteristics of the subscriber based on the spectral analysis. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110026423 | Robust Techniques for Upstream Communication Between Subscriber Stations and a Base Station - A number of features for enhancing the performance of a communication system, in which data is transmitted between a base station and a plurality of subscriber stations located different distances from the base station, are presented. The power transmission level, slot timing, and equalization of the subscriber stations are set by a ranging process. Data is transmitted by the subscriber stations in fragmented form. Various measures are taken to make transmission from the subscriber stations robust. The uplink data transmission is controlled to permit multiple access from the subscriber stations. | 02-03-2011 |
