Abstract: A radio transceiver including a transmitter and a receiver. A filter coupled to an output of the transmitter, the filter has one or more inductors and one or more capacitors, where the filter is tuned by varying one or more capacitance values of the one or more capacitors in the filter to tune the filter. The one or more capacitors are Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) ceramic integrated capacitors that are each tuned by application of a bias voltage thereto. A filter tuner circuit is configured to apply the bias voltage to the one or more capacitors, where the bias voltage is initially established as a stored initial value, and where the bias voltage is refined by a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller configured to optimize a power within the transceiver. This abstract is not to be considered limiting since various implementations may incorporate more, fewer or different elements.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a transmitter with a baseband input for a baseband signal, a mixer downstream from the baseband input, and a phase-locked loop (PLL) having a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and a phase detector coupled thereto, the VCO coupled to the mixer. A power amplifier is downstream from the mixer, and generates at least one aggressing signal that would otherwise generate an output pull of the VCO, causing transmit distortion on a transmit signal. A receiver is coupled to the power amplifier and has a sense input configured to receive the transmit signal. A VCO pulling compensation circuit is coupled to the baseband input and is configured to compensate the at least one baseband signal for the transmit distortion based upon the sensed transmit signal.

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: 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.
