摘要: The second-order inter-modulation distortion, originating in a differential passive mixer core from imbalance between devices, is reduced by compensating for the mismatch or load, by means of tuning the differential output impedance at the mixer core, or the input impedance of a filter coupled to the output of the passive mixer. Compensating for the imbalance allows greater suppression of even-order harmonics in the differential structure, which reduces second-order intermodulation at the output of the mixers. The compensation is achieved by tunable resistive elements that are calibrated by a built-in self-test architecture. The calibration circuit is deactivated during receiver operation.

摘要: A configurable passive mixer is described herein. According to one exemplary embodiment, the passive mixer comprises a clock generator, a controller, and a plurality of passive mixer cores connected in parallel. The clock generator comprises a local oscillator drive unit for each passive mixer core. The controller varies an effective transistor size of the passive mixer by separately configuring each of the passive mixer cores to enable/disable each passive mixer core. For example, the controller may selectively enable one or more of the passive mixer cores to vary the effective transistor width of the passive mixer. As the performance requirements and/or the operating communication standard change, the controller may re-configure each passive mixer core.

摘要: A method of frequency down-converting an input signal to an output signal, a first local oscillator signal is generated as a square wave having a duty cycle of 1/3 or 2/3, and the input signal is mixed with first oscillator signal to achieve a first down-converted signal, a second local oscillator signal is generated as a modified square wave having the same period time as the first oscillator signal and a duty cycle of 2/3, of which one part has a positive amplitude and another part has a negative amplitude. The input signal is mixed with the second oscillator signal to achieve a second down-converted signal. The first oscillator signal has a delay of 1/4 of the period time to achieve a phase shift of π/2 between the oscillator signals, and at least one down-converted signal is multiplied by a pre-calculated factor. The resulting down-converted signals are added to achieve the output signal.

摘要: The teachings herein provide a number of advantages, including but not limited to improving soft-cell operation in service scenarios involving legacy devices that do not directly support carrier aggregation—i.e., devices that can transmit or receive in only one frequency band at a time. By imposing a Time Division Duplex (TDD) arrangement across two carriers operating in different frequency bands, scheduled transmissions involving the legacy device are mutually exclusive as between the two carriers. Advantageously, the TDD arrangement is imposed across first and second carriers used in the macro- and low-power layers of a soft-cell, thus imposing TDD-based coordination of scheduled transmissions between those carriers irrespective of whether the individual carriers are configured as Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) or TDD carriers, or a mix thereof.

摘要: The present invention relates to scheduling of uplink and downlink resources between mobile terminals (110, 120) and a base station (130). To reduce the power leakage between the transmitter and the receiver of the mobile terminal (110), the scheduler allocates uplink frequency carriers and downlink frequency carriers with a large duplex distance to those mobile terminals (110, 120) that have to transmit with high power. This means that the requirements on the external SAW filter could be reduced.
