Nowadays, mobile communication radio frequency transceivers for LTE-A/5G usually operate in frequency-division duplex mode and support carrier aggregation. The resulting complexity requires compromises in the analog front-end. One consequence is a limited stop-band attenuation of the duplex filters that separate the transmit and the receive paths. The resulting transmit leakage signal combined with other non-idealities, like power amplifier (PA) harmonics, can create self-interference problems that desensitize the receivers. In this work, we propose an optimized digital self-interference cancellation scheme to mitigate the unacceptable performance degradation caused by PA induced harmonics. We derive an appropriate interference model and quantify the interference power levels for a specific PA. Based on these results, our low-complex cancellation approach solely targets the dominating components. Our algorithm relies on the auto-covariance matrix for the second and third power of LTE signals, which we derive for the first time in an analytic form. This statistical information can be combined with the transform-domain concept to noticeably improve the performance of a least-mean squares based cancellation algorithm. The capabilities of the approach are demonstrated by means of simulations and are validated on measurement data.

“…A lower NF is achieved of 3 dB is achieved in [23] by using the passive-mixer following LNTA to provide high in-band impedance (leading to in-band voltage gain) while providing out-of-band filtering. In a recent implementation [24], the authors present a wideband receiver architecture that supports carrier aggregation (both intra and inter-band) for both 3 G and LTE standards. The architecture uses 16 parallel RF ports driving current mode front-ends with passive mixers, achieving overall +1 dBm (OOB IIP 3 ) linearity.…”

“…This stringent requirement is typically met with SAW filters which provide high-Q band-specific filtering. In a multi-band use case, multiple SAW filters are required with each SAW filter preceded by a single-pole multi-throw switch to cater to multi-band use case [24]. This succession of switches and filters leads to ∼3 dB insertion loss up the receiver chain [14].…”

“…While the implementations haven't focused on specific standards, the OOB IIP 3 is typically a key focus in these works. While there are several outstanding challenges that remain to be addressed, comparing the OOB-IIP 3 numbers of the N-path/mixer-first implementations with a representative reference ( [24]) shows that most of these works exhibit OOB-IIP 3 >20 dBm with even higher linearity using bottom-plate switching techniques. Mixer-first mm-Wave reconfigurable receivers are still a nascent area of research and linearities are not as high as RF implementations (Fig.…”

Representative 3 G/LTE focused implementation is shown in[24], with N-path mixer-first RX demonstrating substantially higher linearity, promising a path towards linear reconfigurable RX. The plot also shows LO power trends (mW/GHz) based on recent works, demonstrating the challenges of high-frequency N-path RX.…”

Fragmented spectrum allocations at RF and mm-Wave, increased use of carrier aggregation/MIMO and dense spectrum-reuse in wireless links has led to interest in the design of integrated wideband, high-linearity MIMO RX that provide low noise, blocker tolerance and reconfigurability across signal domains. In this paper, receive architectures for wide operating range and blocker tolerance are presented with a focus on recent developments in reconfigurable N-path receivers. Generalized sequence-mixing architectures that support reconfigurable frequency/spatial/code-domain rejection and filtering are described along with directions of research extending operation to wider bandwidths and higher frequencies.INDEX TERMS N-path filters, reconfigurable receivers, current-mode, passive mixers, sequence mixers, spatio spectral filtering, walsh function sequence based notch filters, blocker tolerant receivers, blocker tolerant MIMO, interference tolerant receivers.This article has been accepted for inclusion in a future issue of this journal. Content is final as presented, with the exception of pagination.
