    Abstract: The disclosure provides a delta sigma modulator. The delta sigma modulator includes a summer. The summer generates an error signal in response to an input signal and a feedback signal. A loop filter is coupled to the summer and generates a filtered signal in response to the error signal. A quantizer is coupled to the loop filter and generates a quantized output signal in response to the filtered signal. A digital to analog converter (DAC) is coupled to the summer, and generates the feedback signal in response to a plurality of selection signals. A modified data weighted averaging (DWA) block is coupled between the quantizer and the DAC. The modified DWA block receives a clock signal and generates the plurality of selection signals in response to the quantized output signal and a primary coefficient. The primary coefficient varies with the clock signal.

    Abstract: A radio frequency transmitter includes an upconverter that outputs in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals, a digital timing offset circuit, first and second digital-to-analog converters (DACs), an analog timing offset removal circuit, first and second pulse shapers, and an adder. The digital timing offset circuit introduces a time offset between the I and Q signals. The first and second DACs output analog I and Q signals, respectively, and have first and second clock signals, respectively. The first and second clock signals have the same frequency and are offset relative to each other by the time offset. The analog timing offset removal circuit removes the time offset between the analog I and Q signals. The first and second pulse shapers receive the analog I and Q signals, respectively, and output pulse-shaped I and Q signals. The adder receives the pulse-shaped I and Q signals and outputs an intermediate frequency signal.

    Abstract: In an example, a system includes a phase frequency detector (PFD) coupled to a charge pump, and a loop filter coupled to the charge pump. The system also includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) coupled to the loop filter. The system includes a fast Fourier transform (FFT) engine coupled to an output of the VCO, the FFT engine configured to estimate a phase and a magnitude of reference spurs of an input reference signal. The system includes spur correction circuitry coupled to an input of the VCO, the spur correction circuitry configured to correct for the reference spurs of the input reference signal based at least in part on the phase and magnitude of the reference spurs.

    Abstract: A circuit includes first and second operational amplifiers, each including positive and negative inputs and first and second internal nodes. A mixer couples first and second input nodes to the positive and negative inputs of the operational amplifiers. The mixer switches the first and second input nodes between the positive and negative inputs of the first and second operational amplifiers in accordance with clock signals. A first cancellation capacitor couples to the first input node, and a second cancellation capacitor couple to the second input node. First and second switches selectively couple the first cancellation capacitor to the first and second internal nodes, respectively, of the first operational amplifier. Third and fourth switches selectively couple the second cancellation capacitor to the first and second internal nodes, respectively, of the second operational amplifier.
