An error correction component and ΔTΘM function determine correction factors from a feedback signal to use by digital predistortion to cancel distortion caused by a power amplifier and also determine correction factors that may be used to determine Time of Arrival of an isolation leakage signal. Correction factors may be stored in, or retrieved from, multiple ΔTΘM functions, which may be part of an ASIC along with the error correction component. The isolation leakage signal may be canceled within the error correction component, resulting in a leakage residual signal that may facilitate determining the ToA of the leakage signal. Cancelling the isolation leakage signal facilitates better sensitivity in detecting the presence of, or ToA of, other signals present at the same port of a circulator from which the isolation leakage signal flows to the error correction component.

Detection, cancellation, and evaluation of signals in a wireless communication radio unit

A system can comprise a radio unit that comprises a transmitter and a receiver. The system can further comprise a first hardware component that communicatively couples the transmitter and the receiver. The system can further comprise a second hardware component that is configured to transmit an analog signal from the transmitter to the receiver via the first hardware component. The system can further comprise a third hardware component that is configured to evaluate operation of the radio unit based on the analog signal received at the receiver.

Calibration and test of radios spanning digital and analog domains

A system can comprise a radio unit comprising a transmitter, a receiver, and a power amplifier. The system can further comprise a hardware loopback that communicatively couples the transmitter and the receiver via an analog section of the radio unit, wherein the hardware loopback is selected at a component disposed between the transmitter and the power amplifier. The system can further comprise a hardware component that is configured to transmit a signal from the transmitter to the receiver via the hardware loopback.
