    摘要: A method and apparatus for minimizing transmit signal interference is provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving a signal and amplifying the received signal. The received signal is then mixed with an intermediate frequency signal to obtain a baseband modulated signal. The baseband modulated signal is first filtered in an RC filter. The resulting signal is then divided by a preselected amount and the first divided portion is sent to a main path of a biquad filter, which produces a first stage biquad filtered signal. The second portion of the divided signal is sent to an auxiliary path of the biquad filter, and produces a second filtered signal. The first and second signals are then recombined and sent to the second stage of the biquad filter, where further filtering takes place.

    摘要: An analog front-end (AFE) for a communications device includes a low-power frequency synthesizer with reduced footprint. The AFE includes a first frequency synthesizer and a second frequency synthesizer. The first frequency synthesizer is coupled to a transmit (TX) chain and to a receive (RX) chain of the AFE. The first frequency synthesizer is to generate a first local oscillator (LO) signal for transmitting or receiving carrier signals when the device is in a normal operating mode. The second frequency synthesizer is coupled to the RX chain and shares one or more components of the TX chain. The second frequency synthesizer is to utilize the one or more shared components to generate a second LO signal for receiving carrier signals when the device operates in a low-power mode. For example, the one or more shared components may include a voltage source and/or one or more inductors.
