Examples of this description provide for a method. In some examples, the method includes determining, via a circuit, an estimated value of harmonic coupling in a transmitted signal via a feedback signal path that receives the transmitted signal and performing pre-compensation for the harmonic coupling based on the estimated value, the pre-compensation performed in the circuit.

An apparatus to detect a heart rate of a user includes a motion detection circuit configured to generate a motion status signal indicative of a motion status of the user. The apparatus also comprises a filter circuit coupled to the motion detection circuit that is configured to generate a filter circuit output signal based on dynamically variable. The coefficients are dependent on the motion status signal and a first signal received by the filter circuit. The apparatus also comprises a combination circuit coupled to the filter circuit and configured to receive a second signal indicative of the ambient light, the motion of the user, and non-ambient light reflected from the user. The combination circuit is configured to determine a difference between the second signal and the filter circuit output signal to generate a combination circuit output signal.

A TX-TX pre-compensation system that estimates unwanted coupling in a victim transmit chain caused by an aggressor transmit chain and injects a pre-compensation signal to cancel out the estimated coupling. In some embodiments, a signal measurement module estimates the amplitude, phase, and envelope delay of the coupling and an isolation pre-compensation module generates the pre-compensation signal based on the estimated amplitude, the estimated phase, the estimated envelope delay, and the difference between the carrier frequencies of the transmit chains. Since the phase of the coupling may be affected by the carrier frequency of the transmit chains, in some embodiments the phase of the pre-compensation signal is adjusted in response to a change in carrier frequency. Since the amplitude of the coupling may be affected by attenuator gain settings, in some embodiments the amplitude of the pre-compensation signal may be adjusted in response to a change in attenuator gain setting.

Reliability handling for wireless transceivers

Dual mode filters having two reconfigurable multi-stage filters. In a dual band mode, each reconfigurable filter filters an input signal in a different band using every filter stage. In a single band mode, both reconfigurable filters are effectively divided into two sub-chains that include either the odd-numbered filter stages or the even-numbered filter stages. Together, the four sub-chains in the single band mode filter an input signal in a single band with a higher parallelization than each reconfigurable filter in the dual band mode. In some embodiments, the dual mode filter is a decimation filter. In other embodiments, the dual mode filter is a resampling filter. In still other embodiments, the dual mode filter is an interpolation filter.

A radio frequency transmitter includes an upconverter that outputs in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals, a digital timing offset circuit, first and second digital-to-analog converters (DACs), an analog timing offset removal circuit, first and second pulse shapers, and an adder. The digital timing offset circuit introduces a time offset between the I and Q signals. The first and second DACs output analog I and Q signals, respectively, and have first and second clock signals, respectively. The first and second clock signals have the same frequency and are offset relative to each other by the time offset. The analog timing offset removal circuit removes the time offset between the analog I and Q signals. The first and second pulse shapers receive the analog I and Q signals, respectively, and output pulse-shaped I and Q signals. The adder receives the pulse-shaped I and Q signals and outputs an intermediate frequency signal.
