Abstract: An integrated automatic IIP2 calibration architecture for wireless transceivers is disclosed. The architecture enables a wireless transceiver to generate a test radio frequency (RF) signal having a second order tone with minimal additional circuitry. In particular, the test RF signal is generated using a combination of native transceiver circuits and test adaptor circuits. Native transceiver circuits are those circuits implemented on the transceiver chip for executing native transceiver functions during normal operation, which can be used for generating the test (RF) signal. Test adaptor circuits are added to the transceiver chip, more specifically to the native circuits, for enabling the native circuits to generate the test RF signal in a self-test mode of operation. Circuits for implementing a particular IIP2 minimizing scheme can be included on the transceiver chip for automatic IIP2 calibration during the self-test mode of operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to communications, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for minimizing DC offset and second-order modulation products (IM2 noise) while demodulating RF signals. The principle of the invention can be applied to differential, down-conversion circuits (50) consisting of two differential mixers (54, 56) in series, a follows: a pair of current sources Ia and Ib are used to provide current to positive and negative channels of the first differential mixer (54). Providing current to the amplifying transistors of the first mixer (54) reduces the current drawn through the active mixer switches, reducing the noise generated. The current sources 1a and 1b are trimmed in a complementary manner where 1a=I+Delta1, and 1b=Delta1. The value of Δ1 can be determined in a number of manners; for example, it could be established by testing after the circuit has been fabricated, and the value stored on-chip, for future use.

Abstract: A low voltage cascode frequency conversion mixer circuit is provided. In place of a conventional current source, an LC tank circuit is used. This makes the circuit function as a mixer only over a narrow band of frequencies centred at the resonance frequency of the LC tank circuit. The circuit mixes an input signal with a local oscillator signal. Advantageously, a lower supply voltage may be used because a smaller DC drop exists across the tank circuit than does across conventional current sources. The circuit may also be used as an amplifier by connecting a DC bias voltage in place of the local oscillator.

Abstract: An antenna apparatus for backscattering an incoming radio frequency (RF) signal includes an antenna for backscattering the incoming RF signal in accordance with a reflection coefficient characteristic of the antenna. A variable impedance circuit includes an output electrically connected to the antenna. A band-pass delta sigma modulator is coupled to the variable impedance circuit and digitally controls the output of the variable impedance circuit, such that the reflection coefficient of the antenna is adjusted based on the digitally controlled output of the variable impedance circuit. In an RFID network, the apparatus and method reduces the effect of DC offset in the reader device and the effects of the reader device's phase noise, while allowing for complex modulations.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically shifting spurious tones away from the desired frequency in a virtual local oscillator receiver, such that any undesired signal residing at such spurious tones are effectively delineated from the desired signal and removed from the RF input signal. The system detects the presence of potential undesired blocker signals in the RF input signal, and initiates an iterative power comparison and mixer signal adjustment loop. As the virtual local oscillator uses two mixer signals, the frequency of one of the mixer signals is adjusted during the loop until the power of the down-converted signal is minimized to a predetermined level. Minimized power in the down-converted signal is indicative of the absence of the blocker signal, since the presence of a relatively high power signal is indicative of a blocker signal overlapping with a desired signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to communications, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for generating local oscillator signals used for up- and down-conversion of RF (radio frequency) signals. A major problem in the design of modulators and demodulators, if the leakage of local oscillator (LO) signals into the received signal path. The invention presents a number of highly integratable circuits which resolve the LO leakage problem, using regenerative divider circuits acting on oscillator signals which are running at a multiple or fraction of the frequency of the desired LO signal, to generate in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) mixing signals. Embodiments of these circuits also use harmonic subtraction and polyphase mixers, as well as virtual local oscillator TM (VLO) mixing signals. VLO mixing signals are signal pairs which emulate local oscillator signals by means of complementary mono-tonal and multi-tonal mixing signals.

Abstract: A system for generating a supply voltage, temperature and process compensated gain control voltage from a digital data word. In particular, the compensated gain voltage control voltage maintains a linear relationship between a change in gain in response to an input gain control voltage for a gain circuit of a transmitter circuit. A monitor circuit senses at least one of the supply voltage, temperature and process parameters, and generates a first set of digital signals corresponding to the sensed parameter. A digital compensator circuit converts the input gain control voltage into a second set of digital signals, and decodes the combined first and second set of digital signals to provide a data word. The data word is converted into an analog voltage representing the compensated gain voltage control voltage. The digital compensator circuit includes a table of compensation values, each accessible by a distinct combination of the first and second set of digital signals.

Abstract: This patent describes a method and system which overcomes the LO-leakage problem of direct conversion and similar RF transmitters. To solve this problem a virtual LO™ signal is generated within the baseband which is tuned to the incoming RF signal. The virtual local oscillator (VLO) signal is constructed using signals that do not contain a significant amount of power (or no power at all) at the wanted output RF frequency. Any errors is generating the virtual LO signal are minimized using a closed loop correction scheme.
