    摘要: An analog signal generating source comprising two or more digital-to-analog converters (DAC) combined to generate one or more frequency components. The analog signal source comprises a first path for generating substantially low frequency signals, the first path comprising a first one of the DACs; and a second path for generating substantially high frequency signals, the second path comprising a second one of the DACs. The analog signal source also comprises a data processor for processing an input signal and providing the processed input signal to the first and second paths; a combining circuit configured to combine outputs of the first and second paths into the source signal; a feedback portion configured to sense the source signal; and a servo loop configured to use the sensed source signal to adjust as need to maintain the source signal to substantially agree with the input signal.

    摘要: The invention relates to the process of determining an IQ offset, in particular at low intermediate frequencies, in a receiver for electromagnetic radiation, in particular for digital data transmission. The aim of the invention is to provide a simple manner for determining the IQ offset, in particular quickly, reliably, and/or at low intermediate frequencies. According to the invention, this is achieved in particular in that the analog-digital converter is separated from the receiving devices and is electrically connected to at least one resistor by means of a switch in order to determine the IQ offset. While the analog-digital converter is connected to the resistor and not to the receiving devices, digital IQ values are obtained by means of the analog-digital converter. The digital IQ values obtained while the converter is connected to the resistor are used to determine the IQ offset.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for automatic gain control (AGC). A transceiver includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to convert a received analog signal to digital signal, a measurement circuitry configured to measure a signal level on the digital signal, an AGC controller configured to generate, based on the measured signal level, an analog gain control signal to change a gain to be applied to a received analog signal in analog domain and a digital gain control signal for digital gain compensation corresponding to the gain change in analog domain, and a digital gain compensation circuitry configured to apply the digital gain compensation based on the digital gain control signal. The digital compensation gain applied to the digital bits follows a ramp profile that is an inverse of a transient response to the gain change in analog domain.
