Patent ID: 11979207

Abstract:
A wireless communication system can include an antenna and an equalization system. The antenna can be configured to wirelessly receive a data signal from a user equipment (UE). The equalization system can be configured to compensate for distortion incurred by the data signal during propagation. The equalization system can include a set of multiplier circuits. Each multiplier circuit can include a first input, a second input, a multiplier device, and a management circuit. The first input can receive a first input signal that corresponds to the data signal. The second input can receive a second input signal that corresponds to a weighting value assigned to a channel associated with the antenna. The multiplier device can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, the multiplier device can be configured to perform a multiplication operation on the first input signal and the second input signal. When disabled, the multiplier circuit may not perform the multiplication operation. The management circuit can be configured to selectively disable or enable the multiplier device based on the first input signal and/or the second input signal, thereby reducing an effective number of multiplications and offering power savings.
