    Abstract: A receiver includes a low noise amplifier (LNA), a passive mixer, a passive filter, a baseband processing block and a voltage controller. The LNA receives and amplifies a radio frequency (RF) signal. The passive mixer is coupled to the LNA without any AC coupling capacitance therebetween, and generates an intermediate frequency signal by down-converting the RF signal. The passive filter filters the intermediate frequency signal. The baseband processing block includes a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and processes the filtered intermediate frequency signal. The voltage controller keeps a first node and a second node of a signal path to be around a common DC voltage, wherein the first node is located between an output terminal of the LNA and an input terminal of the passive mixer, and the second node is located between an output terminal of the passive mixer and an output terminal of the TIA.

    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a sliced transmitter front-end (TX FE). The sliced TX FE includes first TX FE slices and a second TX FE slice that are connected in parallel. As a whole the first TX FE slices contributes a high-gain section to a superimposed gain range of the sliced TX FE. The second TX FE slice has a gain range that constitutes a low-gain section of the superimposed gain range of the sliced TX FE. A minimum gain of the gain range of the second TX FE slice is smaller than a minimum gain of the high-gain section.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for calibrating the control mechanism in a communication circuit to allow the communication circuit to maintain a desired output power level. The communication circuit includes a variable gain adjustment circuit and a power amplifier, which operate together to provide an output power level. A control circuit controls the variable gain adjustment circuit based on a default gain parameter, a high power threshold, and a low power threshold. A calibration circuit in the control circuit calibrates a default gain parameter to provide a desired output power. A power detector can detect the desired output power level to provide an output power measurement. The calibration circuit calibrates upper and lower power thresholds to provide an acceptable range of power variation around the output power measurement.

    Abstract: An interference-robust receiver includes an RF signal processor, a frequency conversion interface and an analog signal processor. The RF signal processor provides an RF signal. The frequency conversion interface includes a passive mixer for generating an intermediate frequency signal by down-converting an in-band part of the RF signal to a passband of a filter and down-converting an out-of-band part of the RF signal to a stopband of the filter. The filter can thus filter the intermediate frequency signal with the passband and the stopband.
