摘要:
A device article and method for an open loop calibrated phase wrapping phase modulator. A tapped delay line may provide a coarse resolution for one or more phases of a signal. A phase multiplexer may receive one or more coarse phases from the tapped delay line and select a coarse phase to send to the digitally controlled delay line. A digitally controlled delay line may provide a fine resolution to the coarse phase from the phase multiplexer.

This application discusses, among other things, apparatus and methods for sharing a local oscillator between multiple wireless devices. In certain examples, an apparatus can include a central frequency synthesizer configured to provide a central oscillator signal having a first frequency, a first transmitter, the first transmitter including a first transmit digital-to-time converter (DTC) configured to receive the central oscillator signal and to provide a first transmitter signal having a second frequency, and a first receiver, the first receiver including a first receive DTC configured to receive the central oscillator signal and to provide a first receiver signal having a first receive frequency.

This document discusses apparatus and methods for reducing energy consumption of digital-to-time converter (DTC) based transmitters. In an example, a wireless device can include a digital-to-time converter (DTC) configured to receive phase information from a baseband processor and to provide a first modulation signal for generating a wireless signal, and a detector configured to detect an operating condition of the wireless device and to adjust a parameter of the DTC in response to a change in the operating condition.

Embodiments of methods and means for calibrating a linearization characteristic within an RF transceiver system are provided. Such embodiments generally include extracting a portion of an output signal and frequency shifting or translating that signal by a predetermined value. The frequency shifted signal is then summed or otherwise introduced into a receiver signal pathway where it is analyzed by digital signal processing or other means to determine if linearization distortion is present. Linearization calibration of a power amplifier, a low-noise amplifier and/or other functionality within the system can then be performed in an automatic, reliable and ongoing manner.

A multichip transceiver operates as part of a multiple-input multiple-output communication system. First receiver circuitry on a first integrated circuit processes radio-frequency (RF) signals received from a first signal source, and second receiver circuitry on a second integrated circuit processes RF signals received from a second signal source. Clock-signal generating circuitry provides clock signals through phase-matched paths to the first and second receiver circuitry.

Phase and amplitude offsets of a multicarrier transceiver may be reduced by measuring receiver amplitude and phase mismatches of receiver radio-frequency (RF) circuitry by performing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on a receiver calibration signal.
