Abstract: A semiconductor chip includes a first wireless communication circuit, a second wireless communication circuit, and an auxiliary path. The first wireless communication circuit includes a signal path, wherein the signal path includes a signal node. The second wireless communication circuit includes a mixer and a local oscillator (LO) buffer. The LO buffer is arranged to receive and buffer an LO signal, and is further arranged to provide the LO signal to the mixer. The auxiliary path is arranged to electrically connect the LO buffer to the signal node of the signal path, wherein the LO buffer is reused for a loop-back test function of the first wireless communication circuit through the auxiliary path.

Abstract: A wireless system includes an active oscillator and a front-end circuit. The active oscillator is used to generate and output a reference clock. The active oscillator includes at least one active component, and does not include an electromechanical resonator. The front-end circuit is used to process a transmit (TX) signal or a receive (RX) signal according to a local oscillator (LO) signal. The LO signal is derived from the reference clock.

Abstract: A system includes a local oscillator (LO) signal generation circuit, a receiver (RX) circuit, and a calibration circuit. The LO signal generation circuit generates an LO signal according to a reference clock, and includes an active oscillator that generates the reference clock. The active oscillator includes at least one active component. The RX circuit generates a processed RX signal by processing an RX input signal according to the LO signal. The calibration circuit checks a signal characteristic of the processed RX signal by detecting if a calibration tone exists within a receiver bandwidth, set a frequency calibration control output in response to the calibration tone being not found in the receiver bandwidth, and output the frequency calibration control output to the LO signal generation circuit. The LO signal generation circuit adjusts an LO frequency of the LO signal in response to the frequency calibration control output.

Abstract: Concepts and examples pertaining to reconfigurable radio frequency (RF) front end and antenna arrays for radar mode switching are described. A processor associated with a radar system selects a mode of a plurality of modes in which to operate the radar system. The processor then controls the radar system to operate in the selected mode by utilizing a plurality of antennas in a respective configuration of a plurality of configurations of the antennas which corresponds to the selected mode. Each configuration of the plurality of configurations of the antennas results in respective antenna characteristics. Each configuration of the plurality of configurations of the antennas utilizes a respective number of antennas of the plurality of antennas.
