    摘要: In a quadrature modulator which receives a pair of carrier signals having phases perpendicular to one another, and I and Q signals, and which outputs a modulating signal, a quadrature error based on a phase difference between the pair of carrier signals is detected. In a state that the signal levels of the I and Q signals are each made to be zero, a pair of dc voltages for causing that the modulating signal outputted from the quadrature modulator is made to be a predetermined reference level, are each added to the I and Q signals. In a state that pairs of dc voltages are each changed and sequentially added to the I and Q signals, plural combinations of pairs of dc voltages for causing that a signal level of the modulating signal is made to be the predetermined reference level, are retrieved, and the quadrature error is calculated from simultaneous equations in which respective values of the retrieved plural combinations of pairs of dc voltages, the signal level of the modulating signal, and a quadrature error of the carrier signals are variables.

    摘要: A circuit architecture for generation of amplitude and phase matched signals is described, which is primarily intended for the generation of quadrature signals, for example local oscillator signals, as required in many electronic systems. Using a single reference signal as an input, two output signals are generated at the same frequency. The relative amplitudes of these signals contain phase error information. An error signal is derived by amplitude comparison, and then fed back to a phase control element in a closed loop manner. The method proposed ensures that when the output amplitudes are equal then the output signals will be in phase quadrature. All signal processing is performed at the fundamental frequency, enabling wider bandwidth and higher frequency operation to be achieved, than could otherwise be realised using standard circuits based on frequency dividers.

    摘要: In a digital Cartesian modulation transmitter, an encoder generates 1-bit logic signals from in-phase and quadrature signals. A single bit digital modulator multiplexes the 1-bit logic signals for Cartesian I/Q modulation. A digital upconverter (DUG) upconverts the multiplexed 1-bit logic signal. A digital power amplifier (DPA) generates a radio frequency (RF) signal based on the upconverted signal. In a digital polar modulation transmitter, an encoder converts a magnitude signal to a first 1-bit logic signal. A digital phase modulator modulates a carrier using a phase signal to generate a second 1-bit logic signal. A DUC upconverts the second 1-bit logic signal. A first-in first-out (FIFO) memory stores the first 1-bit logic signal. A combiner combines angle information contained in the second 1-bit logic signal with magnitude information contained in the first 1-bit logic signal stored in the FIFO memory. A DPA generates an RF signal based on the combined signal.

    摘要: A test signal comprising periodic waveform, such as a triangular waveform and sawtooth waveform, is used for propagation delay matching in a transceiver front-end. The test signal is separately fed to the envelope path and the RF path. At the power amplifier stage, a phase modulator is used to obtain the envelope signal and the phase modulated RF signal for demodulation by an IQ demodulator. At the output end of the IQ demodulator, the I-signal is measured while the delay block is adjusted in order to vary the propagation delay. When the propagation delay matching is correct, the peak-to-peak value of the I-signal is a minimum. Preferably, during calibration using the test signal, the transmitter RF power amplifier is disabled so that no spurious signals will be sent. The transmitter can be an EDGE polar transmitter, a non-EDGE transmitter or a EER polar transmitter.

    摘要: A method of determining non-ideality characteristics introduced on a signal by a transceiver is presented. The transceiver comprises an up-conversion transmitter and a down-conversion receiver. The method comprises the steps of: a) generating a signal comprising at least one known training symbol, b) up-converting this signal with a first frequency to a first signal in the transmitter, c) transferring the first signal from the transmitter to the receiver, d) down-converting with a second frequency this transferred first signal to a second signal in the receiver, whereby the second frequency is different from but linked to the first frequency, e) detecting at least one of the training symbols in the second signal; and f) separating, in the frequency domain, at least one of the components of at least one of the detected training symbols for determining the non-ideality characteristics.
