Patent GB-2489337-A (GB)
Title: A transceiver which adapts the sampling rate of a receiver ADC to avoid interference between a wanted signal and an aliased transmit leakage component
Inventor: NENTWIG MARKUS
IPC: H04B1/00
Filed: 2011-09-16
Abstract: The present invention mitigates effects of alias responses in a transceiver by selecting a sampling rate 216â   of an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) to place an alias response 214â   of an unwanted signal component 210 to a frequency range which is substantially non-overlapping with a wanted signal component 200 of the receiver. The unwanted signal component may be introduced by transmit leakage. Crucially, the selection of the sampling rate takes into account the maximum sampling rate of the ADC (step 408, Fig. 4). The maximum sampling rate is determined by the transceiver based on the determination of the degree of correctness of a conversion result of the ADC at a current conversion rate. The degree of correctness may be indicated by the successful completion of a successive approximation step within and ADC conversion cycle, or by a signal quality indicator associated with the conversion result.
