Four-tap RF canceller evaluation for indoor in-band full-duplex wireless operation
Summary
Summary
Analog self-interference mitigation techniques are currently being investigated in a variety of operational settings for In-Band Full-Duplex (IBFD) systems. The significant multipath effects of realistic environments, such as inside buildings, can severely limit performance. The influence of different transceiver parameters on the effectiveness of a four-tap RF canceller using a...
The threat to weather radars by wireless technology
Summary
Summary
Wireless technology, such as local area telecommunication networks and surveillance cameras, causes severe interference for weather radars, because they use the same operational radio frequencies. One or two disturbances can be removed from the radar image, but the number and power of the interfering wireless devices are growing all over...
Single antenna in-band full-duplex isolation-improvement techniques
Summary
Summary
Many in-band full-duplex wireless systems transmit and receive on a single antenna to minimize redundancy and maintain compact form factors. For effective operation, all of these systems need to maximize transmit-to-receive isolation, which is limited by non-ideal antenna matching and non-zero circulator leakage. Several isolation-improvement techniques are investigated in this...
Multitap RF canceller for in-band full-duplex wireless communications
Summary
Summary
In-band full-duplex wireless communications are challenging because they require the mitigation of self-interference caused by the co-located transmitter to operate effectively. This paper presents a novel tapped delay line RF canceller architecture with multiple non-uniform pre-weighted taps to improve system isolation by cancelling both the direct antenna coupling as well...
Competing cognitive resilient networks
Summary
Summary
We introduce competing cognitive resilient network (CCRN) of mobile radios challenged to optimize data throughput and networking efficiency under dynamic spectrum access and adversarial threats (e.g., jamming). Unlike the conventional approaches, CCRN features both communicator and jamming nodes in a friendly coalition to take joint actions against hostile networking entities...
Comb generator design for SWaP-constrained applications
Summary
Summary
Many wireless devices have requirements that emphasize low size, weight and power for increased functionality and extended lifetimes. The additional complexity of these devices mandates the need to dynamically verify that all sub-system functions are fully operational. These tests can only be performed internal to the unit, and a circuit...
Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STAR) mobile testbed
Summary
Summary
Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STAR) systems typically utilize multiple cancellation layers to improve system isolation and avoid self-interference. The design of these different layers must be evaluated both individually and as a whole to determine their effectiveness in various environments. A flexible and reusable mobile testbed was constructed to aid...
Simultaneous transmit and receive (STAR) system architecture using multiple analog cancellation layers
Summary
Summary
Simultaneous Transmit and Receive operation requires a high amount of transmit-to-receive isolation in order to avoid self-interference. This isolation is best achieved by utilizing multiple cancellation techniques. The combination of adaptive multiple-input multiple-output spatial cancellation with a high-isolation antenna and RF canceller produces a novel system architecture that focuses on...
Higher order cochlea-like channelizing filters
Summary
Summary
A design method is presented for contiguous-channel multiplexing filters with many channels covering a wide bandwidth. The circuit topology extends previous work on cochlea-like channelizers by introducing multiple resonator-channel filter sections. The new design provides increased stopband rejection, lower insertion loss, and improved passband shape compared with the earlier version...
A low-loss double-tuned transformer
Summary
Summary
In this letter, we present a state-of-the-art, planar double-tuned transformer using high- , micromachined spiral inductors and integrated capacitors. This circuit provides a 4:1 impedance transformation over a 30% bandwidth centered at 4.06 GHz, with a minimum insertion loss of 1.50 dB. The fabricated circuit occupies a total area of...
