An integrated circuit comprises an input, a digital step attenuator, an analog-to-digital converter, a first output, a second output, a first bandwidth filter, a first band attack detector, a first band decay detector, a second bandwidth filter, a second band attack detector, a second band decay detector, and an automatic gain control. The ADC is configured to output a digital signal including a first and a second frequency range. The first and second bandwidth filters are configured to extract respective digital signals comprising the first and second frequency ranges. The band attack and decay detectors are configured to detect band peaks or decays thereof such that the DSA and External AMP may be controlled by means of the AGC based on the detected band peaks or decays, and ADC attack and ADC decay.

Dual-band AGC for RF sampling receivers

A system includes: a host processor; a transceiver coupled to the host processor; and a power amplifier coupled to an output of the transceiver. The transceiver includes a transmit chain with digital pre-distortion (DPD) logic configured to: perform DPD correction operations on transmit data received by the transmit chain; and output corrected transmit data based on the performed DPD correction operations, wherein the output corrected transmit data is provided to the power amplifier.

Transceiver circuit with digital pre-distortion (DPD) options

Apparatus and methods disclosed herein implement an RF receive-band filter at a receive chain input of a wireless base station with a co-located transmitter and receiver. The RF receive-band filter includes an adaptive filter component to perform filtering operations on samples of a digital baseband or intermediate frequency signal x(n) from a transmit chain associated with the wireless base station. An adaptive filter transfer function is determined in real time such that samples of the baseband transmit signal x(n) are transformed into a cancellation baseband signal z(n). The digital cancelation baseband signal z(n) is then digital-to-analog converted and the resulting analog baseband signal z(t) is up-converted to obtain a subtractive RF cancelation signal c(t). C(t) is summed with a desirable received signal RF component r(t) and an undesirable transmitter leakage RF signal component l(t) appearing at the input to the base station receiver. C(t) cancels l(t), leaving r(t) to be processed by the receiver section of the base station.
