    摘要: An adaptive current control circuit for reduced power consumption and minimized gain shift in a variable gain amplifier. An automatic gain control circuit provides gain control voltages in response to a gain control signal. The gain control voltages are used by the variable gain amplifier to set the gain of the output signal for wireless transmit operations. The adaptive current control circuit receives the same gain control voltages for reducing current to the variable gain amplifier during low gain operation, while providing higher currents during high gain operation. The current that is provided is a hybrid mix of proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current and complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT) current for minimizing temperature effects on the gain. The ratio of PTAT current and CTAT current is adjustable for specific temperature ranges to further minimize temperature effects on the gain.

    摘要: An integrated automatic IIP2 calibration architecture for wireless transceivers is disclosed. The architecture enables a wireless transceiver to generate a test radio frequency (RF) signal having a second order tone with minimal additional circuitry. In particular, the test RF signal is generated using a combination of native transceiver circuits and test adaptor circuits. Native transceiver circuits are those circuits implemented on the transceiver chip for executing native transceiver functions during normal operation, which can be used for generating the test (RF) signal. Test adaptor circuits are added to the transceiver chip, more specifically to the native circuits, for enabling the native circuits to generate the test RF signal in a self-test mode of operation. Circuits for implementing a particular IIP2 minimizing scheme can be included on the transceiver chip for automatic IIP2 calibration during the self-test mode of operation.

    摘要: A digital linear transmitter for digital to analog conversion of a radio frequency signal. The transmitter includes a delta sigma (ΔΣ) digital to analog converter (DAC) and a weighted signal digital to analog converter in the transmit path of a wireless device to reduce reliance on relatively large analog components. The ΔΣ DAC converts the lowest significant bits of the oversampled signal while the weighted signal digital to analog converter converts the highest significant bits of the oversampled signal. The transmitter core includes components for providing an oversampled modulated digital signal which is then subjected to first order filtering of the oversampled signal prior to generating a corresponding analog signal. The apparatus and method reduces analog components and increases digital components in transmitter core architecture of wireless RF devices.

    摘要: A method, device and computer program product is provided for sending a data signal and a clock signal between a radio frequency circuit of a device and a baseband circuit of the device, the radio frequency circuit being configured for at least one of transmission and reception of radio signals in a radio frequency band, where the clock signal has a clock frequency Fc. The method comprises selecting the clock frequency Fc to be a rational multiple of the 0.270833 MHz symbol rate of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) standard and a rational multiple of the 3.84 MHz chipping rate of the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) interface. The clock frequency Fc is selected such that the clock signal can be generated using a 38.4 MHz or 19.2 MHz reference clock signal, a non-fractional Phase Locked Loop clock multiplier and an output divider, without first having to divide down the reference clock signal. The data signal and the clock signal can then be sent between the radio frequency circuit and the baseband circuit using the selected clock frequency Fc.
