    摘要： According to one exemplary embodiment, a transceiver for nullification of a noise component in a transmitter comprises a noise nullification module loading a selected node in the transmitter. The noise nullification module comprises a mixer that receives inputs from the selected node and a local oscillator, where the mixer is also coupled to a filter such that the noise nullification module presents a low impedance at an approximate frequency of a noise component so as to nullify the noise component. In one embodiment, the noise nullification module results in band-pass filtering of an approximate receive signal frequency so as to nullify a noise component at the receive frequency. In another embodiment, the noise nullification module results in notch filtering of an approximate transmit signal frequency so as to nullify a noise component at a receive signal frequency.

    摘要： A method and system for wireless communication is provided and may include mitigating blocker signals in transmitted RF signals in a wireless device including a transmitter front end. The mitigation may include up-converting a baseband signal, mixing the up-converted baseband signal with a feedback signal, and amplifying the mixed up-converted baseband signal and the feedback signal to generate an output signal. The feedback signal may be generated by down-converting the output signal, low-pass filtering the down-converted output signal, and up-converting the filtered down-converted signal for the summing. The blocker signals may correspond to receive frequencies for the wireless device and may be converted to DC via the down-converting. The wireless devices may operate in accordance with at least a CDMA standard. The mixed up-converted baseband signal and the feedback signal may be amplified utilizing a source follower amplifier, where the gain and/or linearity may be configured by varying coupling capacitors.

Embodiments include a frequency locked loop formed by feeding back a VCO's output into the VCO's input in negative phase by means of a frequency-to-voltage (F/V) converter. Embodiments enable constant VCO gain over a wide input tuning range and across PVT variations. Further, embodiments can be nested within a PLL, for example, with negligible area and power consumption overhead.

    摘要： A SAW-less receiver includes an FEM interface module, an RF to IF receiver section, and a receiver IF to baseband section. The RF to IF receiver section includes inverter based LNA modules, a mixing module, and transimpedance amplifier modules. The inverter based LNA modules amplify inbound RF signal to produce a positive leg current RF signal and a negative leg current RF signal. The mixing module converts the positive and negative leg current RF signals into an in-phase (I) mixed current signal and a quadrature (Q) mixed current signal. The transimpedance amplifier modules convert the I mixed current signal into an I mixed voltage signal and the Q mixed current signal into a Q mixed voltage signal. The receiver IF to baseband section converts the I and Q mixed voltage signals into one or more inbound symbol streams.
