Aspects are directed to an amplifier circuit including a signal processing circuit and a calibration circuit. In certain specific embodiments, the signal processing circuit includes a signal combiner and a closed-loop feedback path, and the signal processing circuit is designed to provide a loop transfer function for a derived signal partly representing contributions from an audio input signal, a control or pilot signal having a target frequency range, and a calibration signal. The signal combiner is designed to combine aspects of the control or pilot signal and aspects of the audio input signal, and the calibration circuit is designed to adjust an effective gain of the derived signal in response to whether a unity-gain frequency of a signal in the closed-loop feedback path, as provided via the loop transfer function, is higher or lower than the target frequency range. Consistent therewith and in yet more specific embodiments, such an amplifier circuit can define the target frequency range relative to the transfer function and an associated unity-gain frequency.

A system and module for, and a method of correcting, memory misalignment in a phase shift keying receiver is disclosed. Embodiments include a system having: an analog front end for receiving a demodulated signal having a preamble portion, and for generating a digital register input signal including a received preamble portion; a finite state machine for selecting a memory address of the demodulated signal based on the received preamble portion; a preamble memory for storing all possible preambles contained within the demodulated signal and for supplying a selected preamble memory output corresponding to the selected memory address; and a memory alignment module configured to compare phase information of symbols of the preamble portion and preamble phase information of symbols of the selected preamble memory output. This system checks that the preamble portion of the register input signal aligns with the selected preamble memory output and makes corrections when necessary.

Configurable suppression of harmonics in a radio frequency (RF) transmitter circuit having two class-D switching amplifiers that produce a differential output signal having introduced harmonics is contemplated. A selected harmonic is used to determine a time duration. A harmonic suppression circuit modifies a radio frequency polar modulated data signal that is encoded using an amplitude component and a phase component. The modification is responsive to the determined time duration. The switching power amplifiers amplify the modified polar modulated data signal to produce an amplified signal. The amplified signal includes three signal levels, a high signal level, a middle signal level and a low signal level. The timing of transitions between the high and low signal levels represents the phase component, and the transitions include the middle signal level for the time duration, thereby suppressing the selected harmonic.

A symbol clock recovery circuit is provided for a data communication system using coherent demodulation. The symbol clock recovery circuit comprises an analog-to-digital converter (101) comprising a first input for receiving a coherent-detected baseband analog signal (104) derived from a carrier signal, a second input for receiving an adapted symbol clock signal (106), and an output for outputting a digital signal (107) comprising a frame having a preamble with at least two symbols. The symbol clock recovery circuit comprises further a phase shifting unit (102) comprising a first input for receiving a symbol clock signal (105) derived from the carrier signal, and a timing detector (103), comprising a first input for receiving the digital signal from the analog-to-digital converter and an output for providing a signal (108) comprising information about an optimum sample phase to the phase shifting unit. The timing detector is adapted for detecting at least one zero crossing between the at least two symbols of the preamble of the frame of the digital signal, for determining a phase being associated with the zero crossing, and for calculating an optimum phase for sampling the coherent-detected baseband analog signal based on the calculated phase being associated with the zero crossing. The phase shifting unit comprises a second input for receiving from the timing detector the optimum phase for sampling the coherent-detected baseband analog signal, and is adapted for shifting the phase of the symbol clock signal according to the received optimum phase to generate an adapted symbol clock signal and for providing the adapted symbol clock signal to the analog-to-digital converter.
