OBTAINING ACCURATE TIMING OF ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER SAMPLES IN CELLULAR MODEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17659468 Titled 'OBTAINING ACCURATE TIMING OF ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER SAMPLES IN CELLULAR MODEM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for determining the timing of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) output in a user equipment. The method involves switching the ADC between two modes: in the first mode, a system clock is routed to the ADC input, and the timing of the ADC output is determined based on a set of ADC samples. In the second mode, analog signals from a transceiver are routed to the ADC input, and another set of ADC samples is obtained based on these analog signals.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to embodiments, an example method for determining an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) output timing in a user equipment may include operating a switch in a first mode to route a system clock from an oscillator to an input of the ADC and determining a first ADC output timing based on a first set of ADC samples generated by the ADC. The method may also include operating the switch in a second mode to route analog signals from a transceiver of the user equipment to the input of the ADC and obtaining a second set of ADC samples generated by the ADC based on the analog signals.
