VCO-COUPLING MITIGATION IN A MULTIPLE-CARRIER, CARRIER AGGREGATION RECEIVER

摘要

Aspects of a wireless apparatus for configuring a plurality of VCOs are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives a configuration for a plurality of carriers. Each carrier corresponds to a different LO frequency. In addition, the UE determines a VCO frequency for generating each LO frequency. Further, the UE assigns each determined VCO frequency to each of a plurality of VCO modules based on a distance between the VCO modules and each of the determined VCO frequencies. The plurality of VCO modules are of a set of VCO modules including at least three VCO modules.

1. A method of configuring a plurality of voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), comprising:
receiving a configuration for a plurality of carriers, each carrier corresponding to a different local oscillator (LO) frequency; determining a VCO frequency for generating each LO frequency; and assigning each determined VCO frequency to each of a plurality of VCO modules based on a distance between the VCO modules and each of the determined VCO frequencies, the plurality of VCO modules being of a set of VCO modules including at least three VCO modules.
