Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide voltage regulating circuits which are power efficient, low noise, and substantially insensitive to changes in process technology, power supply voltage, and temperature. Such circuits may be used to provide the regulated voltage for a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), for example, as found in a radio frequency front end (RFFE). One example voltage regulating circuit generally includes a current source configured to supply or sink a reference current and a current mirror having a bias branch and a main branch, wherein the bias branch is connected with the current source, wherein the main branch includes a source follower to provide the regulated voltage, and wherein the reference current is available at a node for the regulated voltage.

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.
