The disclosure is directed to an OFDM receiver with a low-resolution ADC and an electronic device thereof. According to one of the exemplary embodiments, the OFDM receiver may include not limited to: an ADC module which receives a transmission signal of a channel in an analog format and digitizes the transmission signal into a digital format to generate a quantized transmission signal; an error compensating and estimating module which is coupled to the ADC module, receives the quantized transmission signal and a feedback signal which is a first estimated time-domain transmission signal to generate an estimated error signal according to a turbo iterative updating technique; and a signal estimating module which is coupled to the error compensating and estimating module, receives the estimated error signal and a channel attenuation coefficient of the channel to generate an estimated transmission signal.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing receiver with low-resolution analog to digital converter and electronic device thereof

The beamforming calibration system includes a transmitter, a receiver, and a computing device. The transmitter includes multiple transmitting antennas. The computing device provides multiple phase sets to the transmitter. When the computing device provides a first phase set among the phase sets to the transmitter: the transmitter uses the first phase set to set phases of the transmitting antennas, the receiver receives wireless transmission signal from the transmitting antennas to obtain a first radiation pattern corresponding to the first phase set, and the computing device is configured to compare the first radiation pattern with a predetermined pattern to calculate a pattern similarity score corresponding to the first phase set. The computing device selects a calibration phase set among the phase sets according to the pattern similarity score of each phase set, and provides the calibration phase set to the transmitter to calibrate beamforming.

Beamforming calibration system and method

The present disclosure discloses a receiver device, including receiving antennas, radio frequency receivers, a configurable precision analog-to-digital converter, a switch device, a baseband processor, and an analog-to-digital controller. The switch device converts a first number of baseband analog signals into a second number of baseband analog signals. The configurable precision analog-to-digital converter converts the second number of baseband analog signals into a third number of first baseband digital signals. The configurable precision analog-to-digital converter combines at least two of first analog-to-digital converters into at least one second analog-to-digital converter so that the total number of the rest of the first analog-to-digital converters and the at least one second analog-to-digital converters is equal to the third number. The resolution of each of the second analog-to-digital converters is higher than the resolution of each of the first analog-to-digital converters.
