Configuration of Aggressor Integrated Circuit to Prevent Spur Interference at Victim Integrated Circuit - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18456364 titled 'Configuration of Aggressor Integrated Circuit to Prevent Spur Interference at Victim Integrated Circuit
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to identifying frequencies to be protected at a victim integrated circuit (IC) and sending protection information to an aggressor IC to prevent interference.
- The aggressor IC configures its subsystems or circuits to operate using frequencies that do not interfere with the protected frequencies identified in the protection information.
- If not all frequencies can be protected, the aggressor IC selects a subset of frequencies to be protected.
- The aggressor IC then configures its subsystems or circuits to prevent interference with the selected frequencies.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- IoT devices
- Radar systems
Problems Solved
- Interference between integrated circuits
- Frequency clashes in communication systems
Benefits
- Improved reliability of communication systems
- Enhanced performance of integrated circuits
- Reduction in signal interference
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments relate to identifying frequencies to be protected at a victim integrated circuit (IC) and sending protection information including the identified frequencies to an aggressor IC. The aggressor IC configures its subsystems or circuits to operate using operating frequencies that prevents spurs that may interfere with the frequencies identified in the protection information. If not all of the frequencies in the protection information can be protected, the aggressor IC selects a subset of the frequencies to be protected. Then, the aggressor IC configures the operating frequencies of its subsystems or circuits so that spurs that they generate do not interfere with the selected frequencies.
