摘要:
An RFID tag is integrated with a processor of an electronic product for anti-theft purpose. The RFID tag receives an enable mark when the electronic product is checked out at a point of sale. Only when the processor receives the enable mark from the RFID tag can the start-up sequence of the electronic product be executed. An RFID tag is integrated with a sensor of an electronic product for data transmission purpose. Data measured by the sensor can be stored in the memory of the RFID tag and outputted via the antenna of the RFID tag.

A PHY entity for a UWB system utilizes the unlicensed 3.1-10.6 GHZ UWB band, as regulated in the United States by the Code of Federal Regulation, Title 47, Section 15. The UWB system provides a wireless pico area network (PAN) with data payload communication capabilities of 55, 80, 110, 160, 200, 320 and 480 Mb/s. The UWB system employs orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and uses a total of 122 sub-carriers that are modulated using quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK). Forward error correction coding (convolutional coding) is used with a coding rate of 11/32, 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4.

A programmable gain amplifier includes an operational amplifier coupled thereto a plurality of resistors to perform a feedback control, thereby rendering a closed-loop gain A f ( s ) = A ( s ) 1 + A ( s ) · β , where β is a feedback factor determined by the resistance of the resistors and A(s) is an open-loop gain of the operational amplifier. The operational amplifier includes a first-stage amplifying circuit, a second-stage amplifying circuit, and a compensating capacitor coupled to an output end of the first-stage amplifying circuit and having an equivalent capacitance variable to adjust a dominant-pole frequency of the open-loop gain of the operational amplifier.

A method for tuning a tunable filter includes inputting a control signal to the tunable filter and tuning the configuration of the tunable filter according to the control signal. When the control signal is at any one of a plurality of predetermined states, a step size of a characteristic frequency of the tunable filter is positively correlated with the characteristic frequency of the tunable filter.
摘要:
The mixer circuit includes a differential rf input driver; a differential local oscillator input circuit coupled to the differential rf input driver; a non-linear load coupled to the differential local oscillator input circuit wherein the non-linear load compensates for non-linearity of the differential rf input driver. The non-linear load has a V-I (voltage-current) transfer function the inverse of the input driver. This improves the mixer linearity without sacrificing the Gain or Noise Figure.

A high PSRR, low power semiconductor digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) architecture employs only one simple current steering D/A converter directly on top of a multi-stage current controlled oscillator. The architecture provides a good building block for many circuit applications, e.g., all digital phase lock loops, direct modulation transmitters for wireless devices, and the like.
摘要:
A non-linear time digitizer delay chain and a respective lookup table for converting the phase error into a digital code together prevent a phase error pulse from saturating the delay chain, even when the input frequency varies by orders of magnitude. By using a non-linear T2D delay chain along with a corresponding lookup table, the phase error pulse associated with a digital phase lock loop (PLL) can be measured and represented in more meaningful and accurate ways that that achievable when using a conventional T2d circuit to convert the phase error into a digital code. The lookup table implementation allows an additional degree of freedom for designers to apply a transfer function to the digital code measured by the T2D.
摘要:
A hybrid Nyquist thermometer and sigma delta digital to analog converter is presented. The digital input signal is divided into most significant bits and least significant bits. The most significant bits are converted to a thermometer code. A thermometer element array is controlled by the thermometer code. A fractional value is calculated from the least significant bits and used to dither the first unexercised array element in order to get finer resolution with guaranteed monotonicity.
摘要:
A circuit provides a reduced harmonic content output signal OUTA and/or OUTB that is modulated according to an input signal 231. The circuit has an oscillator circuit 210 and a harmonic rejection mixer (HRM) 230. The oscillator circuit 210 includes at least one “circuit portion” (FIG. 2A) configured to receive first and second orthogonal oscillator input signals (two of I, I-, Q, Q-) having respective first and second phases, and to provide an arbitrarily large number of oscillator output signals (φM) having respective mutually distinct phases that are interpolated between the first and second phases. Harmonic rejection mixer 230 is configured to use the input signal to modulate a combination of the oscillator output signals, the oscillator output signals being respectively weighted so as to provide an emulated sinusoidal signal constituting the reduced harmonic content output signal.

A current-domain transmitter is configured to receive an input signal and provide a transmitted signal. The transmitter has a plurality of elements, operatively arranged between the input signal and the transmitted signal and configured to represent the input signal with respective electric currents whose respective current magnitudes are each substantially proportional to the input signal. The elements may include a current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a current mode filter (such as an LPF), a current mode mixer, and/or a current mode amplifier.
