    摘要: A method for reducing average current consumption in a local oscillator (LO) path is disclosed. An LO signal is received at a master frequency divider and a slave frequency divider. Output from the master frequency divider is mixed with an input signal to produce a first mixed output. Output from the slave frequency divider is mixed with the input signal to produce a second mixed output. The second mixed output is forced to be in phase with the first mixed output.

    摘要: In a SAW-less receiver involving a passive mixer, novel degenerative impedance elements having substantial impedances are disposed in incoming signal paths between the differential signal output leads of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and the differential signal input leads of the passive mixer. The passive mixer outputs signals to a transimpedance amplifier and baseband filter (TIA). Providing the novel degenerative impedance elements decreases noise in the overall receiver as output from the TIA, with only minimal degradation of other receiver performance characteristics. In some examples, the passive mixer receives local oscillator signals having duty cycles of substantially less than fifty percent. In some examples, the degenerative impedance elements can have one of several impedances.

    摘要: An electronic device includes an amplifier circuit coupled to a linearizer. The amplifier circuit may receive a first input signal including first and second frequencies and generate a first output signal including a delta frequency signal at a delta frequency, which is the difference between the first frequency and the second frequency. The linearizer includes a signal detector circuit, a current-mirror circuit, a low pass filter, a phase shifter, and a bias circuit. The signal detector circuit may generate a second output signal. The current-mirror circuit may adjust an amplitude of a signal. The low pass filter may eliminate a portion of the second output signal having frequencies greater than the delta frequency. The phase shifter may generate a feedback signal corresponding to the delta frequency signal. An amplitude and/or a phase of the feedback signal is different from an amplitude and/or a phase of the delta frequency signal.

    摘要: A transmitter includes a transformer and a transformer tuning circuit. The transformer transforms a differential radio frequency (RF) signal to a single-ended RF signal. The transformer tuning circuit tunes the transformer to permit the transmitter to transmit the single-ended RF signal in a first frequency band (e.g., cellular frequency band) or a second frequency band (e.g., PCS frequency band).

    摘要: A multi-mode low noise amplifier (LNA) with transformer source degeneration is described. In an exemplary design, the multi-mode LNA includes first, second, and third transistors and first and second inductors. The first transistor has its source coupled to the first inductor, amplifies an input signal, and provides a first amplified signal in a first mode. The second transistor has its source coupled to the second inductor, amplifies the input signal, and provides a second amplified signal in a second mode. The third transistor has its source coupled to the second inductor. The first and third transistors receive the input signal and conduct current through the first and second inductors, respectively, in a third mode. The first transistor observes source degeneration from a transformer formed by the first and second inductors, amplifies the input signal, and provides a third amplified signal in the third mode.
