Local Oscillator Computed I and Q Table

The LO Computed I and Q table is a table of the computed I and Q values (LO Control Values) associated with the attenuation settings of the device. The I and Q values are kept for each possible attenuation value and are indexed by RF Attenuation and Baseband Attenuation. If the PAD Mixer is enabled, the value is considered different from the attenuation setting without the PAD Mixer and are stored as such. Additionally, entries may be marked as used or unused to help speed up calibration when the table isn't empty.

Building the Table

There are specific branches in the sections below that depend upon whether the table is empty or not. On init and after certain events, the table is cleared and then rebuilt.

Start

In this phase, registers are backed up and the LO is put into a known frequency to prepare for calibration.

  1. If Hardware Power Control is enabled

    1. Backup PHY Registers 0x80F, 0x801, 0x60, 0x14, 0x478

  3. If the table isn't empty and Hardware Power Control is enabled

    1. Read in the Power Vector from SHM offset 0x310 in 16 bit pieces, but clear the top 8 bits of each 16 bit value (Note that this introduces 8 bits of 0 between 8 bits of data read)

    3. If any Power Vector bits are set

      1. Save a copy of the Power Vector

        1. The RF Attenuation value corresponding to this position is found by dividing the list position by the length of the RF Attenuation List for this board and throwing away the remainder, this is the offset to use in the RF Attenuation List
