- the leakage of the TX signal into the receiver may be viewed as containing two distinct parts, each of which can affect the receiver performance.
- the leakage includes TX noise, at frequencies extending far from the intended bandwidth of the TX signal, which can extend into the frequency range used by the signals to be received. This TX noise directly leads to co-channel interference.
- the leakage includes an attenuated version of the actual modulated TX signal, which leads to a strong signal at the receiver input, albeit at a frequency different from the desired receiver signal. The receiver must be able to accommodate this out-of- band signal without becoming saturated.
- transceivers designed to support carrier aggregation, in which the transceiver supports the simultaneous use of two or more uplink and/or downlink carriers.
- Such transceivers can have two or more local oscillators, at different frequencies, operating simultaneously. The signals from these local oscillators can interact with one another, generating nonlinear intermodulation products that can create spurious frequency components in LO signals. This is particularly harmful for the receivers, in which the spurious frequency components of the LO may lead to undesired frequency-conversion of the leaked transmitter signals that will interfere with the desired signals to be received.
- the LO spurious frequencies arising from LO coupling and nonlinear operations on the LO signals are calculated. Together with the frequencies of the TX signals, it is determined whether the TX signal will lead to co-channel interference or not. If so, a baseband representation of the TX signal is properly shifted in frequency, time aligned, and weighted and subtracted from the received signal to substantially lower its impact on the received signals.
- An example method may be implemented in a radio transceiver configured to transmit a radio-frequency transmit signal at a transmit frequency and having two or more local oscillators operative to simultaneously generate local oscillator signals, at corresponding local oscillator frequencies, for simultaneously down-converting two or more corresponding received radio-frequency signals.
- the method begins with identifying one or more self-interfering frequencies, based on the local oscillator frequencies and the transmit frequency.
- a baseband cancellation signal is then generated, by weighting and frequency- shifting a baseband representation of the transmit signal, based on the identified self-interfering frequencies.
- the baseband cancellation signal is then combined with a down-converted received signal, to obtain an interference-reduced baseband signal.
- An example radio transceiver includes a transmitter circuit configured to transmit a radio -frequency transmit signal at a transmit frequency, two or more local oscillators configured to simultaneously generate local oscillator signals, at corresponding local oscillator frequencies, and a receiver circuit configured to simultaneously down-convert two or more received radio-frequency signals, using
- the radio transceiver further comprises a baseband processing circuit configured to identify one or more self-interfering frequencies, based on the local oscillator frequencies and the transmit frequency, generate a baseband cancellation signal by weighting and frequency-shifting a baseband representation of the transmit signal, and combine the baseband cancellation signal with a down-converted received signal, to obtain an interference-reduced baseband signal.

- FIG. 1 illustrates a radio unit 100, which includes a a transceiver system 110 having two transmitters 120 and two receivers 130, all of which may be co-located on the same chip in some instances.
- the transmitter outputs and the receiver inputs are connected to an RF front-end unit 140, which may contain duplex filters and transmit/receive switches, antenna tuners, etc., as typically found in wireless radio modems for cellular handsets and the like.
- the down-conversion frequency for receiver 1 is different from that of receiver 2 (RX2).
- RXl the down-conversion frequency for receiver 1

- One example of a scenario where such a configuration might arise is in a cellular handset that supports LTE intra-band carrier aggregation, i.e., where two or more receivers are used to receive signals in different channels but within the same 3 GPP downlink (DL) band, and where one transmitter is used to transmit a signal within one of the corresponding channels of the same 3GPP uplink (UL) band.
- two or more transmitters may be used transmit signals in different channels but also within the same band.
- LO path 150 Associated with each transmitter and each receiver there is a local oscillator (LO) path 150. Details of an example LO path are shown in Figure 2, where the illustrated LO path contains a radio-frequency (RF) synthesizer, typically in the form of a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit 210, a distribution circuit 220 containing buffers 224 and wires 226 and possibly also frequency dividers 222, and, finally, a mixer 230 being driven by the LO signal provided by the distribution circuitry 220.
- RF radio-frequency
- PLL circuit 210 contains a controlled oscillator (CO) 215, which is typically an LC- based oscillator to achieve good phase-noise performance.
- CO controlled oscillator
- the coil or other inductive element (L) used in the CO is prone to coupling with other inductive circuit elements in the vicinity.
- Long wires in the distribution circuit 220 also contribute to coupling.
- Other blocks like dividers 222 and buffers 224 may also contribute to coupling, but typically to a lesser extent.
- Active blocks like buffers 224 and the mixer 230 are highly nonlinear with respect to the LO signal driving them, meaning that they will produce nonlinear intermodulation products of the LO signals. As long as the LO signals only contain a single, fundamental frequency component and associated harmonics, these nonlinear blocks will not generate any new frequency components, other than possibly additional harmonics. However, when LO signals from one LO path couple to another, and vice versa, new frequency components may arise that are highly undesired.
- These new components may comprise, for example, intermodulation products such as 2 nd -order intermodulation products (i.e., products at the sum and difference of the LO frequencies and/or of their harmonics), 3 -order intermodulation products (e.g., at twice one LO frequency less the other LO frequency), and so on.
- intermodulation products such as 2 nd -order intermodulation products (i.e., products at the sum and difference of the LO frequencies and/or of their harmonics), 3 -order intermodulation products (e.g., at twice one LO frequency less the other LO frequency), and so on.
- frequency dividers in an LO path, such that the frequency generated by the PLL is, for example, a factor of two or four higher than the LO signal being fed to the mixer. This may be done for any of several reasons, such as to facilitate the generation of quadrature LO components, to enable 25% duty cycle passive mixer operation, or to use harmonic rejection multi -phase mixers. However, this approach means that more frequencies may have to be considered when analyzing the various contributions to spurious components of the LO. In other words, it may not be sufficient to consider only the frequency generated by the COs in the PLLs.
- FIG. 3 illustrates two LO paths 150A and 150B, with LO path 150A having a CO 215 generating a fundamental frequency fi and LO path 150B having a CO 215 generating a fundamental frequency f 2 .
- the distribution circuitry 220 contains frequency dividers 222, then one or more frequencies fiA, fiB, etc., may be generated in LO pathl50A.
- frequencies f 2 A, f 2 B, etc. may be generated in LO path 150B.
- each divider 222 may be tightly integrated with its corresponding mixer 230, such that there is no need for long wires for distribution of the divider output signal to the mixer 230.
- the dominant frequency components to consider may be limited to those generated by the PLLs alone.
- the frequencies generated by the dividers and/or COs can interact with one another in the buffers 224, mixers, 230, etc., to generate a variety of nonlinear intermodulation products.
- some of these nonlinear products will sometimes appear at frequencies in relation to transmit signals such that spurious conversion of the transmit signals will interfere with the received signal or signals.
- Figure 4 illustrates a first example involving a transceiver that is transmitting on a transmit frequency frxi and receiving carriers at center frequencies f a and fR 2
- FIG. 4a illustrates the spectrum where two signals SRX1 and SRX2 are to be simultaneously received and down-converted using respective receivers and LO signals, LOl and L02. Direct conversion is assumed in this example, so the LO signals are at the respective receive carrier frequencies f a and f a.
- each receiver is also subject to a strong TX leakage signal STX1, at frequency frxi. Due to LO coupling, each LO signal will not only contain the desired frequency component but also a small residue of the other LO signal, as shown in Figure 4b and Figure 4c.
- a nonlinear block such as an LO buffer or even the mixer input itself, spurious frequency components are generated.
- Figure 4d illustrates a third-order product located at frequency
- Figure 4e illustrates another third-order product at frequency fs 2
- the LO signals that ultimately act on the received signal are composite signals, containing components at both LO frequencies and also containing one or more non-linear products.
- These composite LO signals are shown in Figures 4d and 4e, and are labeled as LO signals LOl ' and L02'.
- Figures 4f and 4g show the results of the down-conversions in the receivers tuned to fR i and fR 2 , respectively.
- the receivers are direct-conversion receivers, i.e., where the LO frequency is the same as the carrier frequency.
- the signal SR I is properly converted to a zero -frequency baseband.
- an interfering transmitter leakage component having the same shape as transmit signal STXI, is also down-converted to a frequency that is very close to zero, such that the leakage component partially overlaps the down-converted receive signal.
- Figure 4g illustrates the results of down-conversion in the second receiver, which is tuned to fRx 2 .
- SR I the replica of SR I interferes with the received signal. This may or may not be a problem, depending on the relative amplitudes of the received signals and the ability of the receiver to resolve the co-channel signals.
- Figure 5 illustrates a second example, again involving a transceiver that is transmitting on a transmit frequency frxi and receiving carriers at center frequencies fR i and fRX2- hi this case, however, the original LO signals LOl and L02 being generated each have a frequency twice that of the down-conversion frequency, i.e., 2*fRxi and 2*IRX 2 . These LO signals might be fed to a frequency divider to generate the correct frequencies for down- conversion.
- each receiver in the example scenario shown in Figure 5 is also subject to a strong TX leakage signal STXI. Due to LO coupling prior to the divider, each LO signal will not only contain the desired frequency component but also a small residue of the other LO signal, as shown in Figure 5b and Figure 5c. After the frequency divider, the LO signals will have additional frequency components, resulting from non-linear products of the LO signals and/or their harmonics.
- the LO signals that ultimately act on the received signal are composite signals, containing components at both LO frequencies and also containing one or more non-linear products.
- These composite LO signals are shown in Figures 5d and 5e, and are labeled as LO signals LOl ' and L02'.
- Figures 5f and 5g show the results of the down-conversions in direct-conversion receivers tuned to fR i and fR 2 , respectively.
- the signal S RXI is properly converted to a zero-frequency baseband.
- an interfering transmitter leakage component having the same shape as transmit signal S TXI , is again down-converted to a frequency that is very close to zero, such that the leakage component partially overlaps the down-converted receive signal.
- Figure 5g illustrates the results of down-conversion in the second receiver, which is tuned to fR 2- In this receiver, there are no down-converted versions of the transmitter leakage to contend with.
- the baseband representation of the TX signal is properly shifted in frequency, weighted and subtracted from the received signal to substantially lower the impact of the spurious signal or signals on the received signals.
- the baseband representation of the TX signal is also subjected to a delay, to account for delays encountered by the spurious signal as it passes through transceiver components (e.g., SAW filters) and to thus properly time-align the frequency-shifted, weighted version of the TX signal with the interfering component in the receive signal.
- These techniques for reducing the impact of spurious LO signals generally contain two parts. In a first part, the techniques are used to identify which transmitter carriers are "aggressors,” in that they will interfere with received signals and need to be cancelled. In a second part, these aggressor transmitter carriers are canceled from the received "victim" carrier signals, at baseband.
- the process begins with calculating the possible spurious frequencies that can arise as products of the LO oscillator signals, or as products of any LO frequency divider output signals.
- these products include combinations of the form */Loi ⁇ where a and b are integers. It will be appreciated that this formulation can be simply extended (with another term or terms) to accommodate three or more LO oscillator signals or frequency divider output signals. Those combinations that have no possibility of falling in or near a transmit frequency band need not be considered.
- the non-linear products of the LO oscillator signals are then compared to any TX signal frequencies.
- the modulated baseband bandwidths of the transmit signal and the receiver signal of interest should both be considered. If the frequency of a spurious LO product differs from the center frequency of a TX signal by less than the one -half of the sum of the TX RF signal bandwidth and the RX RF signal bandwidth, which is equivalent to the sum of the TX baseband bandwidth and the RX baseband bandwidth, then the spurious LO product can generate a co-channel response in the receiver, after down- conversion. Each potential victim received carrier signal and all combinations of spurious frequencies and transmitted carriers should thus be checked if there is an overlap of the undesired transmitter response with the frequency range of the victim received carrier.
- the power level of the transmitter signal is above a threshold level such that it can be considered as a candidate aggressor.
- a threshold level such that it can be considered as a candidate aggressor.
- Lower power levels for the transmitter will produce less significant co-channel interference for victim received carriers, even given worst-case LO spurious levels. If the power level of the transmitter is above the threshold level, then the corresponding transmitter carriers are marked for cancellation from the victim received carriers.
- the second part of the technique is the actual cancellation. This includes determining the required gain, delay, and frequency shift to be applied to a baseband signal representation of the aggressor transmitter signal that is marked for cancellation.
- the "gain” referred to herein is generally a complex gain, having a magnitude and phase.
- the required frequency shift arises directly from the comparison of the spurious signal frequency to the TX signal frequency - the point of the cancellation procedure is to shift a replica of the TX signal, as represented in baseband, so that it coincides in frequency with the TX signal image that has been down- converted into the receiver band by the spurious product of the LO signals.
- the required complex gain and any delay is dependent on the receiver design and LO frequencies, and may vary depending on temperature.
- a calibration procedure can be used to determine the appropriate gain and delay to apply to the frequency-shifted replica of the baseband TX signal, to generate the cancellation signal.
- This calibration procedure may be performed during manufacturing, to generate values for various configurations to be used later during operation of the transceiver.
- a background calibration procedure that tunes the parameters in the field may be used.
- Figure 7 illustrates a baseband processor 700, which includes a TX digital baseband processor 710 and a RX digital baseband processor 720.
- a digital baseband representation of the TX signal e.g., in the form of in-phase and quadrature- phase (IQ) signals from the TX IQ generator 715, is fed to the digital baseband processor 715 of the receiver.
- This transmitter IQ data is first shifted in frequency to align with the spurious response affecting the receiver. This is followed by applying a complex gain A to adjust the magnitude and phase of the transmitter IQ data.
- a delay ⁇ is then added to match the delay that the spurious response experiences in the transceiver.
- the frequency shift, the complex gain A, and the delay ⁇ produce a signal that is essentially the same as the co-channel interference in the received signal, but in anti-phase, so as to cancel or attenuate the co-channel interference when combined with it in a summation unit. It is also possible to directly cancel or attenuate the co -channel interference by subtracting a TX baseband cancellation signal that is a time -delayed, amplitude and phase aligned version of TX IQ data from the received signal, given that the amplitude of the cancellation signal equals the amplitude of interference signal and the phase of the cancellation signal is the opposite of interference signal. In this case the TX IQ generator 715 and frequency down converter may be omitted.
- the frequency shift f r is known from the transmit signal carrier frequency and a calculated spurious frequency component of the receiver LO signals
- the complex gain A and delay ⁇ are provided by an estimation block 625, in the example configuration illustrated in Figure 6.
- the parameters can be preconfigured and used based on the transceiver
- the frequency shifted baseband representation of the TX signal is input to the EB, as is the received (baseband) signal, for correlation purposes.
- the estimation of A and ⁇ can be made using well-established correlation techniques originating from the area of acoustics using correlation techniques. Details of some of these techniques can be found, for example, in Knapp, C; Carter, G.
- Correlation is required over at least a certain amount of time to achieve a desired level of accuracy, given the fact that the spurious TX leak to be cancelled may have a level comparable to or even lower than the desired signal. Since the spurious response gain and TX delay originate from different mechanisms in the transceiver, it can be justified to handle them separately. For example, the delay ⁇ can be estimated before the complex gain A, since an alignment in time will improve gain estimation accuracy. Furthermore, the delay may have less variation over time and frequency, whereas the spurious TX level may be very sensitive to temperature drift, etc. The estimation of the complex gain A in turn may also be carried out using correlation techniques.
- Example techniques are detailed in, for example, Braithwaite, R.N.; Carichner, S., "Adaptive Echo Cancellation for an On-Frequency RF Repeater using a Weighted Power Spectrum," Wireless Technologies, 2007 European Conference on , vol., no., pp.82,85, 8-10 Oct. 2007, and in Grant, S.J.; Cavers, J.K.; Goud, P.A., "A DSP controlled adaptive feedforward amplifier linearizer," Universal Personal Communications, 1996. Record., 1996 5th IEEE International Conference on , vol.2, no., pp.788,792 vol.2, 29 Sep-2 Oct 1996, as well as in Michel C. Jeruchim, Philip Balaban, K. Sam Shanmugan, Simulation of
- the operation of the estimation block may be as follows:
- FIG. 8 is a process flow diagram illustrating a generalized method for cancelling spurious signals according to the above techniques.
- the operations shown in Figure 8 are suitable for implementation by a radio transceiver configured to transmit a radio-frequency transmit signal at a transmit frequency and having two or more local oscillators operative to simultaneously generate local oscillator signals, at corresponding local oscillator frequencies, for simultaneously down-converting two or more corresponding received radio -frequency signals.
- a radio transceiver might be part of a cellular telephone or other portable or end-user wireless device, for example, or part of a radio base station, relay node, or the like.
- the illustrated process includes only a single cancellation procedure, for a single receiver chain and a single aggressor transmitter chain; it will be appreciated that a corresponding procedure may be simultaneously carried out, as necessary, for additional receiver and/or aggressor transmitter chains in the radio transceiver.
- the illustrated process begins with setting predetermined complex weights and delays corresponding to each of one or more spurious local-oscillator products.
- These predetermined values may be obtained, for example, through the use of correlation techniques between the baseband representation of the received signal and the baseband representation of the transmit signal. As noted above, this may be done dynamically, as part of a background calibration process in the radio transceiver. Alternatively or additionally, this may be done as a pre-calibration procedure, e.g., at the time of manufacturing. For this reason, block 810 is shown with a dashed outline, indicating that it is "optional" in the sense that it need not appear in every embodiment or in every instance that the rest of the illustrated procedure is performed.
- the illustrated process includes an identifying step, in which self-interfering frequencies are identified, based on the LO oscillator signal frequencies and the TX signal frequency or frequencies.
- This identifying step may include, for example, determining a set of spurious frequencies corresponding to nonlinear products of the local oscillator signals, comparing each of the spurious frequencies with the transmit frequency, and identifying as self-interfering frequencies those of the spurious frequencies that fall within a predetermined range of the transmit frequency.
- the predetermined range may be a sum of a transmit baseband bandwidth and a receive baseband bandwidth, for example.
- An estimated amplitude for the spurious frequencies may also be considered, e.g., such that only those spurious frequencies having an estimated amplitude exceeding a predetermined threshold are identified.
- a baseband cancellation signal is then generated. This is done by frequency-shifting and weighting a baseband representation of TX signal. A delay may also be applied at this point. Note that the cancellation signal may include two or more frequency- shifted, weighted, representations of the TX signal, to cancel corresponding interfering signals. Finally, as shown at block 840, the baseband cancellation signal is combined with the down- converted RX signal. Depending on the accuracy of the weighting, frequency-shifting, and delay, the interfering signal is reduced, improving the quality of the received signal.
- generating the baseband cancellation signal comprises, for each of the identified spurious frequencies: frequency-shifting a digital baseband representation of the radio-frequency transmit signal to obtain a frequency-shifted baseband transmit signal, using a frequency shift based on a difference between the spurious frequency and the transmit frequency; and applying, to the frequency-shifted baseband transmit signal, a complex weight corresponding to the identified spurious frequency and a pre-determined delay , to obtain an in- phase or anti-phase cancellation signal corresponding to the identified spurious frequency.
- the cancellation signal for each spurious frequency is an antiphase cancellation signal
- combining the baseband cancellation signal with a down- converted received signal comprises adding each of the anti-phase cancellation signals to the down-converted received signal.
- the cancellation signal in other embodiments may be an in-phase cancellation signal that is subtracted from the down-converted received signal.
- the complex weight and the delay are retrieved from a calibration table stored in the radio transceiver.
- the calibration table may be built at the time of manufacture.
- the calibration table may be built and/or updated dynamically, in the field.
- the operation shown in block 810 of Figure 8 may comprise setting the complex weight for each of a plurality of the nonlinear products by measuring an interfering signal component at baseband, e.g., using correlation techniques.
- FIG. 9 illustrates an example implementation of the baseband processor 700 that was illustrated functionally in Figure 7.
- the baseband processor 700 shown in Figures 7 and 9 may be part of the transceiver system 110 shown in Figure 1 , for example, or may be operatively connected to a similar transceiver system.
- Baseband processor 700 comprises one or more processors 1540 coupled to one or more memory devices 1550 that make up a data storage memory 1555 and a program storage memory 1560.
- Processor 1540 identified as CPU 1540 in Figure 15, may be a microprocessor, microcontroller, or digital signal processor, in some embodiments. More generally, processing circuit 1510 may comprise a processor/firmware combination, or specialized digital hardware, or a combination thereof.
- Memory 1550 may comprise one or several types of memory such as read-only memory (ROM), random-access memory, cache memory, flash memory devices, optical storage devices, etc. Because the radio transceiver that includes baseband processor 700 may support multiple radio access networks, processing circuit 1510 may include separate processing resources dedicated to one or several radio access technologies, in some embodiments. Again, because the various details and engineering tradeoffs associated with the design of baseband processing circuitry for mobile devices are well known and are unnecessary to a full understanding of the invention, additional details are not shown here.
- Typical functions of the baseband processing circuit 700 include modulation and coding of transmitted signals and the demodulation and decoding of received signals.
- processing circuit 700 is adapted, using suitable program code stored in program storage memory 1560, for example, to carry out one of the techniques described above for reducing the effects of self-interference in a radio transceiver.
- program code stored in program storage memory 1560, for example, to carry out one of the techniques described above for reducing the effects of self-interference in a radio transceiver.
