Waite (Philips)Slide 2 Introduction Flexible spectrum occupancy is a desirable attribute as recognized by the many TG3a presentations on Soft Spectrum Adaptation (SSA) Low complexity tone-nulling by simply deleting selected tones was previously considered state of the art. More recently, Active Interference Cancellation has been described in the literature. AIC will now be described further.

Waite (Philips)Slide 10 Considerations for upsampling and sin(x)/x compensation The above analysis assumes that the frequency domain response is entirely dictated by the mathematics of the transform process In fact, other factors such as sin(x)/x shaping due to the zero-order hold of the DACs Usually these filtering effects can be compensated in the frequency domain Any such frequency-domain compensation must be applied to the vector is performed

Waite (Philips)Slide 13 Analysis of Tx linearity to meet DAA requirements Approach –Simulate a AIC signal passing through a non-linear transmit model within Agilent ADS, and assess the degradation in notch depth as non-linearity is swept. BB signal includes nulling and active cancellation of sub-carriers #24 to #28 inclusive Resulting notch depth is 44 dB

18. doc.: IEEE 802.15-05-646r1 Submission Novemebr 2005 C. Razzell, H. Waite (Philips)Slide 18 Results Results Summary –“backoff” is a swept parameter of TX non-linearity –Pn_4103 indicates notch depth at the input (prior to non-linearity) –Ptx_n_4103 indicates notch depth at the output of the non-linear block –Notch delta indicates depth of output notch relative to input notch –Back-off = 0 corresponds to OIP3 = 0dBm –Back-off = 10 corresponds to OIP3 = 10dBm

Waite (Philips)Slide 19 Conclusions Computational complexity reduces to n aic vector dot products per IFFT –Computational cost looks reasonable Preliminary simulation results indicate that an OIP3 of +10dBm for the transmit path produces 40dB –RF implementation for a 30dB notch looks feasible Details on the impact of Tx DAC quantization can be found in the [Yamaguchi 2004] reference –Good performance with 2-4 bits of AIC tone precision Achieving the required notch depth at DC to cancel LO feedthrough still needs to be considered
