Digital Signal Receiver For Measurement While Drilling System Having Noise Cancellation

US Patent:
6741185, May 25, 2004
Filed:
Nov 13, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/979393
Inventors:
Pengyu Shi - Dorchester MA
David Brady - Milton MA
Robert Tennent - Stafford TX
Sandra D. Reyes - Cambridge, GB
Assignee:
Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Sugar Land TX
International Classification:
G01V 300
US Classification:
3408532, 367 83, 3408546, 175 40, 175 48, 375232, 375346, 375347, 375350
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for reducing noise in a measured telemetry signal. The method includes tracking a characteristic of at least one harmonic of a noise component in the measured telemetry signal band. The at least one harmonic has a frequency outside a telemetry signal band. The characteristic of the noise component is determined for at least one other harmonic thereof. The at least one other harmonic has a frequency inside the telemetry signal band. A noise reference is generated from the characteristic of the in band harmonic, and the noise reference is combined with the measured telemetry signal to generate a noise-canceled telemetry signal.

Imbalance Compensation For Direct Conversion Communication Systems

US Patent:
8526518, Sep 3, 2013
Filed:
Dec 18, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/734762
Inventors:
Jeffrey Ross Feigin - Andover MA, US
David Paul Brady - Milton MA, US
Assignee:
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
H04K 1/10
US Classification:
375260, 376260, 376267, 376299, 376346, 376349, 375350
Abstract:
Most modern integrated circuit transceivers, especially wireless LAN, utilize a direct conversion radio architecture, which is highly advantageous from the perspectives of cost and flexibility, there exist several performance impairments, including gain and phase imbalances between the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) of a transmitter or receiver. Disclosed herein is a signal processing methodology and system for compensation of I/Q imbalance for a direct conversion packet-switched OFDM communications system. The imbalance, which accounts for transmitter I/Q imbalance, RX I/Q imbalance, phase/frequency error, and dispersive multipath fading. Both frequency dependent I/Q imbalance and frequency independent cases are considered, covering both wideband and narrowband modulation. The proposed estimation algorithms operate within the fully compliant framework of existing multi-user OFDM radio standards (WLAN, LTE, WimAX). These algorithms accurately estimate and correct transceiver I/Q imbalance on a packet-by-packet basis, all within the receiver's digital baseband.
