Abstract:
A method and apparatus for calibrating a terminal is provided. The apparatus includes a modem; a transmission chain configured to process a signal input from the modem and transmit the processed signal via an antenna; a reception chain configured to process a signal received via the antenna and transmit the processed signal to the modem; and a connector configured to connect an output of the transmission chain and an output of the reception chain via an envelope detector and a switch configured to turn on/off the envelope detector, calibrate a DC offset voltage and I and Q signals of the transmission chain by inputting a one-tone signal of 1 MHz into the transmission channel via the modem in a state where the envelope detector is turned on, and calibrate a second order input intercept point (IIP2) characteristic value by adjusting the signal input into the modem via the reception channel.
Abstract:
An electronic device and a method for control of an output amplitude of a Voltage Control Oscillator (VCO) in the electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first circuit configured to output a frequency signal corresponding to a control voltage, and a second circuit configured to generate control bits that control an amplitude of the frequency signal based on a comparison result between a peak voltage of the frequency signal and a reference voltage of the frequency signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for Direct Current (DC) offset calibration in a signal transmission device of a wireless communication system are provided. The apparatus includes a first DC calibration unit for removing a DC offset from a signal, which is output from a Current-to-Voltage Converter (IVC), by using a first DC calibration value, a Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) for amplifying the signal output from the IVC, a second DC calibration unit for removing a DC offset from a signal output from the VGA by using a second DC calibration value, a Low Pass Filter (LPF) for filtering the signal output from the VGA, a third DC calibration unit for removing a DC offset from a signal output from the LPF by using a third DC calibration value, and a controller for determining the first DC calibration value, the second DC calibration value and the third DC calibration value.
Abstract:
An electronic device for compensating for process variation is provided. The electronic device includes a first circuit configured to consume a current supplied to the first circuit, and a second circuit configured to control the current supplied to the first circuit. The second circuit is configured to generate a signal for controlling the current supplied to the circuit based on a frequency of a pulse signal generated using a second component that is of a same kind as a first component of the first circuit.
Abstract:
To control a gain of a transmit signal in a wireless transmitter, the wireless transmitter is provided. The wireless transmitter includes a baseband processor for processing an analog baseband transmit signal, and a Radio Frequency (RF) signal processor including a plurality of mixers. The plurality of mixers are configured to share an output signal of the baseband processor as an input.
