    Abstract: An apparatus for generating a radio frequency signal based on a symbol within a constellation diagram is provided. The constellation diagram is spanned by a first axis representing an in-phase component and an orthogonal second axis representing a quadrature component. The apparatus includes a processing unit configured to select one of a plurality of segments of the constellation diagram containing the symbol. The segment is delimited by two radially extending boundaries, wherein the two radially extending boundaries span an opening angle of the segment that is different from 90°. The processing unit is further configured to calculate a first coordinate of the symbol with respect to a third axis, and a second coordinate of the symbol with respect to a fourth axis. At least one of the third axis and the fourth axis coincides with one of the two radially extending boundaries. The apparatus further includes a plurality of digital-to-analog converter cells configured to generate the radio frequency signal using the first coordinate and the second coordinate.

    Abstract: A transceiver that implements a frequency domain cancellation of a transmit (Tx)-modulated spur associated with a transceiver is disclosed. The transceiver comprises a baseband receive (Rx) path configured to propagate a receive signal in frequency domain, associated with an Rx signal path of the transceiver, forming a baseband Rx signal, wherein the baseband Rx signal comprises a wanted Rx signal and an unwanted transmit (Tx) modulated spur. The transceiver further comprises a baseband Tx path configured to propagate a Tx signal in frequency domain, associated with the Tx signal path of the transceiver, thereby forming a baseband Tx signal. In addition, the transceiver comprises a cancellation circuit coupled to the baseband Rx path, configured to receive the baseband Rx signal and the baseband Tx signal, and generate a cancellation signal based thereon, in order to cancel the unwanted Tx modulated spur from the baseband Rx signal.

    Abstract: A method for reducing a distortion component within a baseband receive signal is provided. The baseband receive signal is derived from a radio frequency signal and the distortion component is related to an undesired signal component of the radio frequency signal. The method includes generating a first local oscillator signal having a frequency related to a frequency of the undesired signal component. Further the method includes generating an auxiliary baseband signal using the radio frequency signal and the first local oscillator signal. The method further includes generating a second local oscillator signal having a frequency related to a frequency of a desired signal component of the radio frequency signal. Further the method includes generating the baseband receive signal using the radio frequency signal and the second local oscillator signal. The method includes modifying the baseband receive signal based on the auxiliary baseband signal.
