    Abstract: A circuit for a common electrical balance duplexer (EBD) of a multi-path transceiver may include an EBD circuit. The EBD circuit may be coupled to output nodes of two or more transmit (TX) paths, one or more antennas, and input nodes of two or more receive (RX) paths. The EBD circuit may be configured to isolate the TX paths from the RX paths, and to provide low-loss signal paths between the output nodes of the transmit (TX) paths and one or more antennas. One or more balancing networks may be coupled to the EBD circuit to provide one or more impedances, each matching a corresponding impedance associated with one of the antennas. The output nodes of the transmit (TX) paths may include output nodes of a first and a second power amplifier (PA). The first and the second PA may share a matching transformer that is merged with the EBD circuit.

    Abstract: A circuit for a low-loss duplexer with noise cancellation in a receive (RX) path of a transceiver includes a duplexer, a balancing network, and a noise cancellation circuit. The duplexer circuit is coupled to an antenna of the transceiver. The balancing network is coupled to the duplexer and provides an impedance matching an impedance associated with the antenna. The noise cancellation circuit senses a noise signal generated by the balancing network and uses the sensed noise signal to improve a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the RX path.

    Abstract: A method for reciprocal-mixing noise cancellation may include receiving, from a first mixer, a first signal comprising a wanted signal at a first frequency and a modulated signal at a second frequency. The modulated signal may be a product of a reciprocal-mixing of an unwanted signal with a phase noise. One or more portions of the modulated signal may overlap the wanted signal, adding a reciprocal-mixing noise to the wanted signal. A second signal may be generated by mixing, at a second mixer, the first signal with a third signal, which is at a third frequency related to a blocker offset frequency. A gain may be applied to the second signal to generate an amplified second signal that may be subtracted from the first signal to generate a fourth signal. The fourth signal may be filtered to generate the wanted signal at the first frequency without the reciprocal-mixing noise.

    Abstract: A method for reciprocal-mixing noise cancellation may include receiving, from a first mixer, a first signal comprising a wanted signal at a first frequency and a modulated signal at a second frequency. The modulated signal may be a product of a reciprocal-mixing of an unwanted signal with a phase noise. The second frequency may be greater than the first frequency, and at least a portion of the modulated signal may overlap the wanted signal, adding a reciprocal-mixing noise to the wanted signal. Using the first signal, a narrow second signal may be generated at a third frequency, twice the second frequency. At a second mixer, the second signal may be mixed with the first signal to generate a third signal. The third signal may be subtracted from the first signal to remove a reciprocal-mixing noise and to generate the wanted signal at the first frequency without the reciprocal-mixing noise.

    Abstract: A circuit for measurement of a phase noise of an oscillator may include the oscillator to generate a first signal having the same oscillation frequency as an instantaneous oscillation frequency of the oscillator. The circuit may include a first circuit that is configured to generate a second signal from the first signal. An instantaneous amplitude of the second signal may be related to the oscillation frequency of the first signal. A second circuit may be configured to integrate the second signal to generate a third signal. The third signal can be a measure of the phase noise of the oscillator. The third signal can be used to cancel some or all of the phase noise of the oscillator.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a four-port isolation module are presented herein. In an embodiment, the isolation module includes a step-up autotransformer comprising a first and second winding that are electrically coupled in series at a center node. The first port of the isolation module is configured to couple an antenna to a first end node of the series coupled windings. The second port of the isolation module is configured to couple a balancing network to a second end node of the series coupled windings. The third port is configured to couple a transmit path to the center node. The fourth port is configured to couple a differential receive path across the first end node and the second end node. The isolation module effectively isolates the third port from the fourth port to prevent strong outbound signals received at the third port from saturating an LNA coupled to the fourth port.
