CONFIGURABLE HARMONIC REJECTION MIXER (HRM) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187028 titled 'CONFIGURABLE HARMONIC REJECTION MIXER (HRM)

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support reconfiguring degeneration components in a converged RF transceiver supporting carrier aggregation across sub-6 GHz frequency bands and mmWave frequency bands.

  • An apparatus includes an input port for receiving a mixer input signal.
  • A first mixer forms at least a portion of an HRM mixer and is coupled to the input port.
  • A first configurable degeneration component of a first processing path is coupled between the input port and the first mixer.
  • A controller is coupled to the first degeneration component to control a first aspect of it.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • 5G and beyond wireless communication systems
  • IoT devices requiring high-speed data transmission

Problems Solved

  • Efficient reconfiguration of degeneration components in a converged RF transceiver
  • Support for carrier aggregation across different frequency bands

Benefits

  • Improved wireless communication performance
  • Enhanced flexibility in adapting to different frequency bands

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Wireless Communication Systems for 5G and Beyond
