    摘要: The transmitter synthesizes amplitude and phase components and calibrates a delay mismatch between amplitude and phase components with high accuracy at high speed. The transmitter has: a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a low-pass filter (LPF) in its amplitude-signal path; and a phase modulator operable to convert up a phase component into an RF component in its phase-signal path. In an operation of delay calibration, a test input signal is supplied to a delay-calibrating unit in the amplitude-signal path, and the delay-calibrating unit provides a test input signal to DAC. Then, LPF generates a test output signal. The delay-calibrating unit detects a delay of the test output signal relative to the test input signal, calibrates an amplitude signal delay in a range from the input of the delay-calibrating unit to the output of LPF, reduces the difference between amplitude and phase signal delays of the phase modulator in the phase-signal path.

    摘要: The transmitter of the transceiver includes: a transmitter-side mixers of a transmitter-side modulator; a transmitter-side voltage-controlled oscillator; and a transmitter-side divider. The divider having a dividing factor of a non-integral number is supplied with an oscillating output of the oscillator. A pair of non-quadrature local signals having a phase difference of 90° plus a predetermined offset angle is produced by the divider and supplied to the mixers. The transmitter includes a phase-shift unit which converts a pair of quadrature transmit signals having a phase difference of about 90° on an analog basis into a pair of non-quadrature shifted transmit signals. Consequently, quadrature modulation is performed by the mixers. Use of a similar configuration enables the reduction in interference of an RF signal with local signals supplied to receiver-side mixers of the receiver.

    摘要: In a direct conversion receiver, to cancel a DC offset generated in the baseband processing block, negative feedback arrangements comprising a gain control amplifier and a low-pass filter are respectively attached to the I and Q signal branches of the baseband block following mixer outputs. The gain control amplifier in each negative feedback circuit is gain adjusted so that the product G-B of the gain G of a primary gain control amplifier and its own gain B will be constant and thereby the DC offset is cancelled. This DC offset cancellation can be applied in a continuous receiving system with no intermittent time during a receiving operation. Capacitance elements located off-chip can be reduced to those to be used only in the low-pass filters in the negative feedback circuits, whereas many off-chip capacitance elements have been required to be inserted between each stage of gain control amplifiers in conventional baseband chains.

    摘要: A ΣΔ transmitter that permits setting of a loop filter LF, a charge pump current and other factors to the same conditions even if it is operated in a plurality of frequency bands, therefore allows the number of components to be reduced and at the same time enables the angle between the phases of local signals for reception use to be close to exactly 90°, which is a feature ensuring robustness against inter-element variations and accordingly suitable for large scale integration, is to be provided. The oscillation frequency of a VCO is set to an even-number multiple of the transmit frequency, and generates transmit signals via a divider. A device that varies the gain according to the amplitude component of modulating signals is added to an amplifier whose input is signals from the VCO, and the transmission of modulating signals involving amplitude modulation, such as EDGE, is thereby made possible.

    摘要: The semiconductor integrated communication circuit includes:a low-noise amplifier; a receive mixer; a receive VCO; a demodulation-processing circuit; a modulation-processing circuit; a transmit mixer; a transmit VCO; a second-order-distortion-characteristic-calibration circuit; a quadrature-receive-signal-calibration circuit; and a test-signal generator. The test-signal generator generates first and second test signals using the transmit VCO. In the second-order-distortion-characteristic-calibration mode, the second-order-distortion-characteristic-calibration circuit variably changes an operation parameter of the receive mixer thereby to calibrate the second-order distortion characteristic to achieve its best condition while the first test signal is supplied to the receive mixer. In the quadrature-receive-signal-calibration mode, the quadrature-receive-signal-calibration circuit calibrates IQ mismatch of a quadrature receive signal to achieve the best condition thereof while the second test signal is supplied to the receive mixer. The integrated communication circuit can minimize the increase in chip footprint of a test-signal-generating circuit used to perform calibrations of both the second-order characteristic and IQ mismatch.
