    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) transmitter includes an analog RF power amplifier and a digital Dynamic Error Vector Magnitude (DEVM) correction module. The DEVM correction module compensates for time-dependent variations in an instantaneous gain of the RF power amplifier. The time-dependent variations may be variations that occur during a period the RF power amplifier is turned on. The RF transmitter may further include one or more analog baseband circuits, and one or more respective baseband digital pre-distortion (DPD) modules that compensate for amplitude modulation to amplitude modulation (AM2AM) nonlinearities in the analog baseband circuits. The digital DEVM correction module and baseband DPD modules may each include respective look-up tables having values determined by respective calibration operations.

    Abstract: A notch filter is coupled to a first input node and a second input node, and is configured to present a capacitive load to a differential signal provided to the first and second input nodes, and to present a series-resonant inductive-capacitive load to a common-mode signal provided to the first and second input nodes. The notch filter includes a transformer and a capacitor bank. The transformer includes a first winding having a positive-polarity terminal coupled to the first input node and a second winding having a positive-polarity terminal coupled to the second input node. The capacitor bank includes a first capacitor coupled between a negative-polarity terminal of the first winding and a bias node, and a second capacitor coupled between a negative-polarity terminal of the second winding and the bias node. The first and second capacitors may be variable capacitors.

    Abstract: A voltage-to-current converter circuit comprises an amplifier, a resistor, first and second feedback circuits, and an output circuit. The amplifier is configured to receive a differential input voltage signal. The resistor is coupled between first and second nodes of the amplifier. The first feedback circuit is coupled to a third node of the amplifier, provides feedback to the first and second nodes when the value of the input voltage signal is in a first range, and is turned off otherwise. The second feedback circuit is coupled to a fourth node of the amplifier, provides feedback to the first and second nodes when the value of the input voltage signal is in a second range different from the first range, and is turned off otherwise. The output circuit produces a differential current output signal having a value according to the value of the input voltage signal.

    Abstract: A method for calibrating a radio frequency (RF) transmitter to compensate for a frequency-dependent in-phase quadrature (FDIQ) mismatch is disclosed. The method may include determining in-phase quadrature (IQ) amplitude and phase mismatches of the RF transmitter for a lower side band (LSB) and an upper side band (USB), determining a FDIQ mismatch based on linear fitting the IQ amplitude and phase mismatches for the LSB and the USB, modifying the FDIQ mismatch based on flipping a FDIQ phase mismatch in the LSB and flipping a FDIQ phase mismatch in the USB to generate a modified FDIQ mismatch, determining Fourier coefficients based on applying an inverse fast Fourier transform to the modified FDIQ mismatch, and determining FIR coefficients for a finite impulse response (FIR) filter of the RF transmitter based on windowing the Fourier coefficients.
