Abstract: Circuitry and methods are disclosed that may employ common mode calibration circuitry configured to at least partially calibrate out impedance differences or mismatches between the differential signal paths of differential signal circuitry. The common mode calibration circuitry may be integrated as an internal part of integrated differential signal circuitry that includes a differential amplifier to reject common mode noise, and may be used to reduce or substantially eliminate any external and/or internal difference in signal path resistance that exists between the differential signal paths of the integrated differential signal circuitry. A common mode calibration signal may be internally or externally applied to the signal inputs of differential signal circuitry, and used to determine a setting for the common mode calibration circuitry that at least partially calibrates out impedance differences or mismatches between the differential signal paths of differential signal circuitry.

Abstract: A transmitter including a frequency synthesizer with a voltage-controlled oscillator that provides an oscillating signal, a programmable delay circuit that delays the oscillating signal to provide a delayed oscillating signal, a power amplifier that is configured to use the delayed oscillating signal for transmitting a signal, and a delay controller that programs the delay circuit with a delay time that reduces interference caused by coupling from the power amplifier to the voltage-controlled oscillator. The delay circuit may be programmed to reduce control voltage change of the voltage-controlled oscillator as a function of delay change, and/or to reduce phase noise degradation at an output of the transmitter as a function of delay change. The delay may be adjusted based on detected operating temperature. A calibration value may be determined at a calibration frequency, in which a frequency offset may be determined based on a selected channel frequency.

Abstract: A transmitter including a frequency synthesizer with a voltage-controlled oscillator that provides an oscillating signal, a programmable delay circuit that delays the oscillating signal to provide a delayed oscillating signal, a power amplifier that is configured to amplify the delayed oscillating signal for transmission sufficient to produce interference, and a delay controller that programs the delay circuit with a delay time that reduces interference caused by coupling from the power amplifier to the voltage-controlled oscillator. The delay circuit may be programmed to reduce control voltage change of the voltage-controlled oscillator as a function of delay change, and/or to reduce phase noise degradation at an output of the transmitter as a function of delay change.
