    Abstract: An LIF receiver includes a receiver path comprising: a mixer for mixing a received RF signal with a local oscillator signal to provide an IF signal at a lower frequency than the received RF signal, a bandpass filter for filtering the IF signal, a PGA for amplifying the filtered IF signal, an ADC for converting the amplified filtered IF signal to a digital signal, a converter for converting the digital signal to a baseband digital signal, and an AGC for setting a gain of the PGA in response to a magnitude of the received RF signal. A programmable DC signal source injects a programmed DC offset signal into the amplified filtered IF signal converted by the ADC, and a signal sensor, operatively connected to the receiver path after the PGA, determines a polarity of PGA signal output for a programmed DC offset signal. A controller determines a programmed DC offset signal minimizing a magnitude of the baseband signal in the absence of a received RF signal for at least one gain setting of the PGA.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method for clock and data recovery are disclosed. A reset circuit counts clock cycles between edges of an input signal and resets a signal processing circuit that performs acquisition and tracking of a data stream when the clock cycle count is outside of a range. The signal processing circuit is further configured to perform acquisition and tracking according to a corrected data rate, which can be generated by data rate adjustment through a phase error correcting control loop and/or dithering between two data rates.

    Abstract: A clock and data recovery (CDR) system may use one or more clock signals in sync with recovered data rate. By accumulating a dithering tuning counter value at a data oversampling rate, a plurality of single bit signals at multiples of the recovered data rate and in sync with the recovered data rate can be accurately generated while utilizing the full range of the accumulator. This plurality of clock signals can be used in various modules in the CDR system and other modules in a transceiver system incorporating the CDR system.
