摘要： An apparatus for calibrating gain of an radio frequency receiver (“Rx”) is disclosed to provide, among other things, a structure for performing in-situ gain calibration of an RF integrated circuit over time and/or over temperature without removing the RF integrated circuit from its operational configuration, especially when the gain of the RF integrated circuit is susceptible to variations in process, such as inherent with the CMOS process. In one embodiment, an exemplary apparatus includes a thermal noise generator configured to generate thermal noise as a calibrating signal into an input of an Rx path of an RF integrated circuit. The apparatus also includes a calibrator configured to first measure an output signal from an output of the Rx path, and then adjust a gain of the Rx path based on the thermal noise. In one embodiment, the thermal noise generator further includes a termination resistance and/or impedance.

摘要： A regenerative latch includes a fully differential amplifier with two inputs and two outputs and two positive feedback paths, each path coupling each of the two outputs to one of the two inputs through a capacitor. Hence, during the reset phase, the two capacitors will block all DC voltages thereby enabling offset cancellation of the amplifier. During the regeneration phase, the two positive feedback paths drive the amplifier quickly into saturation. The output of the regenerative latch may be used to drive a second stage latch to reduce metastability and to reduce the gain requirements for the latch. The transistor channels of the input transistors of the second stage latch are reverse biased into depletion regions to reduce the input capacitance of the second latch during reset. Such low input capacitance speeds up the regeneration of the first stage latch.

摘要： A method for autonomously and dynamically optimizing transmission power of an endpoint in a wireless network includes the step of monitoring a received signal strength, a received signal quality and a transmission error rate of a signal transmitted between an access point in the wireless network and the endpoint at a given transmission power and transmission speed. The method also includes the steps of reducing the transmission power when the received signal strength, the received signal quality and the transmission error rate are at respectively acceptable operating levels and then monitoring the transmission error rate of the signal transmitted at the reduced transmission power level. The method further includes the step of adjusting one of the transmission power or the transmission speed based on whether the transmission error rate of the signal transmitted at the reduced transmission power is still at its respective acceptable operating level.

摘要： A system, method and system are disclosed for using a variable frequency clock generator to synchronize an average data rate over intervals of time in a variable clock domain to make it equal to a fixed data rate in a fixed clock domain while reducing electromagnetic interference, among other things. In various embodiments, setting the data rates equal to each other minimizes storage used to transition data signals between clock domains. In one embodiment, a variable frequency clock generator includes a phase modulator configured to form a variable frequency clock. Also, the variable clock generator is configured to maintain an average frequency over specific periods of time for the range of discrete frequencies. The phase-offset controller sets an average clock having substantially no offset between a fixed data rate in the fixed clock domain and an average data rate in the variable clock domain.

摘要： A radio frequency antenna system and high-speed digital data link are disclosed to, among other things, reduce electromagnetic interference (“EMI”) at relatively high data rates while reducing the manufacturing complexities associated with conventional data links. In one embodiment, a radio frequency (“RF”) antenna system includes an antenna and an RF radio coupled to the antenna for receiving wireless RF signals. In particular, the RF radio is configured to digitize RF signals at a fixed data rate to form digitized data signals and to apply the digitized data signals at a variable data rate to a high-speed digital link. The variable data rate distributes the signal energy of the digitized data signals over one or more bands of frequencies, thereby beneficially altering an EMI spectral profile describing emissions that develop as the digitized data signals are transported through a channel.
