摘要: The frequency doubler of the present invention operates to provide an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal, each having a frequency equal to twice the frequency of a reference signal. The in-phase and quadrature signals are based on signals that are 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 135 degrees out of phase with the reference signal. The in-phase signal is provided by multiplying the signals that are 0 degrees and 90 degrees out of phase with the reference signal, and the quadrature signal is provided by multiplying the signals that are 45 degrees and 135 degrees out of phase with the reference signal.

摘要: The present invention provides a receiver frontend that eliminates static and dynamic DC errors and has improved second order intermodulation distortion (IMD2) performance. The receiver frontend includes a first mixer that multiplies a received signal and a first local oscillator (LO) signal to produce an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. A second mixer multiplies the IF signal and a second LO signal to produce an output signal. A first divider circuit divides a reference signal from a reference oscillator by a first divisor N to produce the first LO signal, and a second divider circuit divides the reference signal by a second divisor M to produce the second LO signal. Preferably, the first and second divisors N and M are each integers greater than one (1), and the second divisor M is not an integer multiple of the first divisor N.

摘要: The present invention provides a reconfigurable filter having a bandwidth and frequency offset that are independently configured, thereby allowing the filter to realize any filter pole. In general, the filter includes a filtering stage and a reverse gain stage. The filtering stage has a bandwidth configured by a bandwidth control signal from control logic and a frequency offset configured by an offset control signal. The reverse gain stage provides the offset control signal to the filtering stage based a reverse gain control signal from the control logic and the output signal. Based on the bandwidth control signal and the reverse gain control signal, the bandwidth of the filter is configured independently from the frequency offset of the filter and the frequency offset is configured independently from the bandwidth.

摘要: An antenna tuner unit (ATU) that includes a T/R switch integrated with a receive only tuner circuit that is made up of a relatively tiny tuner circuitry is provided. The integration of the T/R switch with the receive only tuner circuit uses a microelectronics fabrication technology like silicon-on-insulator (SOI) with minimum cascading stages. As a result, the ATU of the present invention avoids a relatively complicated and expensive technology like Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). The ATU of the present disclosure is applicable to fourth generation (4G) standards like long term evolution time division duplex (LTE-TDD) or for a receiver diversity system such as a multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) system. The control of the receive only tuner circuit is accomplished via a relatively simple one-wire general input output (GPIO) thus allowing interface with most existing or future 4G transceiver products.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to RF circuitry having delay locked loop (DLL) circuitry that may be used to measure amplitude modulation-to-phase modulation (AMPM) distortion of an RF power amplifier during factory calibration or during real time operation of the RF circuitry. During a calibration mode, the DLL circuitry may be calibrated using a reference clock signal. During a phase measurement mode, the DLL circuitry may use the reference clock signal, which is representative of an RF input signal to the RF power amplifier, and a feedback signal, which is representative of an RF output signal from the RF power amplifier, to measure a phase difference between the RF input signal and the RF output signal. By measuring the phase difference at different amplitudes of the RF output signal, the AMPM distortion of the RF power amplifier may be determined and used to correct for the AMPM distortion.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to multi-mode RF circuitry using a single IQ modulator topology that may support different communication standards, including enhanced data rates for global system for mobile communications evolution (EDGE) and EDGE evolution by dividing certain modulation functions between a frequency synthesizer and an IQ modulator. Specifically, during a standard modulation mode, which may be used to support many communications standards, the frequency synthesizer provides an un-modulated RF carrier signal to the IQ modulator, which either phase modulates or phase and amplitude modulates the un-modulated RF carrier signal to provide a standard modulated RF signal. During a small signal polar modulation mode, which may be used to support the EDGE and EDGE evolution protocols, the frequency synthesizer provides a phase-modulated RF carrier signal to the IQ modulator, which may or may not amplitude modulate the phase-modulated RF carrier signal to provide a small signal polar modulated RF signal.
