Definitions

  • Broadband communication systems are complex systems with many factors to consider when designing RF circuits and connectors. Usually one has to use specialized connectors in a coaxial form-factor with proper shielding in order to mate RF connections between boards or modules. A problem arises when there is not enough physical space to utilize these RF connectors and you have to use connection methods that were not designed for broadband RF signals. One of the issues with using these types of non-RF connections is poor impedance matching that can vary each time the connections are made.
  • a process comprises: tapping power from a broadband RF input, filtering the tapped power with a plurality of band pass filters, measuring the power filtered by each of the plurality of band pass filters and controlling an adaptive equalizer circuit to flatten excessive non-linear frequency response from the broadband RF input as a function of measu ed power filtered at each of the plurality of band pass filters.
  • a machine comprises: a broadband RF input, a plurality of band pass filters coupled to the broadband RF input, at least one power measurement circuit coupled to the plurality of band pass filters and an adaptive equalizer circuit coupled to the at least one power measurement circuit and the plurality of band pass filters, wherein the at least one power measurement circuit provides control signals to the adaptive equalizer circuit as a function of measured power at each of the plurality of band pass files and wherein the adaptive equalizer circuit flattens excessive non-linear frequency response of the broadband RF input

  • Embodiments of the invention can include an adaptive equalizer circuit.
  • Such an adaptive equalizer circuit enables a way to fix the excessive non-linear frequency response problems associated with poor impedance miss-matching while using connectors that were not designed specifically for the job of connecting broadband RF signals.

  • the PCB card-edge connector 2 includes an adaptive equalizing circuit 3.
  • This type of card-edge connector was not specifically designed for broadband analog RF transmissions and will have poor impedance matching characteristics. The end result will be a non-flat frequency response. For example, with improper impedance matching the low frequency signals may have higher amplitude than the higher frequency signals. Also, the impedance may change between mating cycles adding a new variable.
  • Embodiments of the invention described here will allow the use of existing connectors not designed for RF with PCB card-edge mating; and will adapt to the variations one can get with various mating cycles.

  • the power measurement control circuit can measure and then make adjustments to an adaptive equalizer circuit 7 in order to flatten the otherwise poor frequency response.
