20090133083 | PASSIVE CIRCUIT FOR IMPROVED DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER COMMON MODE REJECTION - A novel passive circuit for providing improved common mode rejection of a differential amplifier novel. The passive circuit functions to compensate for amplitude mismatches between the two outputs of a differential amplifier. To compensate for the amplitude mismatch between the output traces of the amplifier, a resistor is inserted in series with at either one or both of the differential outputs. The values of the resistors are set such that the mismatch is substantially eliminated. Inductors are connected in parallel with the resistors to create a zero ohm path for power. At high frequencies the inductor impedance is sufficiently high that the series resistor compensates for the imbalance caused by spurious products. The imbalance in the amplifier outputs is corrected with the resulting increase in the rejection of spurious frequency products by exploiting the differential common mode rejection (CMR) effect of the differential amplifier. | 05-21-2009 |

20100061432 | REDUCED COST SAW-LESS CATV RF TUNER CIRCUIT FOR USE IN A CABLE MODEM - A novel reduced cost CATV RF tuner circuit that can serve as a replacement circuit for one based on a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter. The tuner circuit is particularly suitable for use in cable modem systems adapted to implement the DOCSIS 2.0 specification which specifies single channel video reception.

The image rejection function is performed by a combination of analog multiple filters. Digital filtering is then used to perform the channel selection operation. The analog based image reject filter can be constructed using relatively inexpensive passive components, while the digital channel selection filter can be implemented in software, firmware, gate array (FPGA) or ASIC. | 03-11-2010 |
20100266000 | DISCRETE SPURIOUS LEAKAGE CANCELLATION FOR USE IN A CABLE MODEM - A novel apparatus for and method of discrete spurious frequency leakage cancellation for use in a cable modem. The spurious leakage cancellation mechanism is particularly suitable for use in cable modem systems adapted to implement the DOCSIS 2.0 specification which specifies both downstream and upstream channels. In one embodiment, the spurious emission cancellation mechanism cancels the spurious emissions by first creating a replica of the aggressor clock signal having the same amplitude but 180 degree phase shift as the spurious signal. The phase shifted spurious replica is added to the original spurious signal thus cancelling the spurious signal. In another embodiment, an RF switch is used to couple the upstream path signal to the CATV cable only during transmission bursts. In between transmission bursts, the upstream signal is disconnected from the CATV cable. This embodiment takes advantage of the less stringent spurious requirements in the DOCSIS 2.0 specification for transmission bursts. In between transmission bursts, when stricter spurious requirements apply, the upstream signal is disconnected from the CATV cable. | 10-21-2010 |
20120213260 | Discrete Spurious Leakage Cancellation for Use in a Cable Modem - In a novel apparatus for and method of discrete spurious frequency leakage cancellation a radio frequency RF switch is used to couple the upstream path signal to the CATV cable only during transmission bursts.

In a circuit for canceling frequency spurs from a victim signal, a radio frequency (RF) switch is operative to connect and disconnect the victim signal to/from the output in accordance with a switch control signal which is generated by a switch control module. The victim signal is coupled to said RF switch output during transmission bursts only. | 08-23-2012 |
