Abstract:
A method and system for wireless communication is provided and may include mitigating blocker signals in transmitted RF signals in a wireless device including a transmitter front end. The mitigation may include up-converting a baseband signal, mixing the up-converted baseband signal with a feedback signal, and amplifying the mixed up-converted baseband signal and the feedback signal to generate an output signal. The feedback signal may be generated by down-converting the output signal, low-pass filtering the down-converted output signal, and up-converting the filtered down-converted signal for the summing. The blocker signals may correspond to receive frequencies for the wireless device and may be converted to DC via the down-converting. The wireless devices may operate in accordance with at least a CDMA standard. The mixed up-converted baseband signal and the feedback signal may be amplified utilizing a source follower amplifier, where the gain and/or linearity may be configured by varying coupling capacitors.
