    摘要: Method and system are disclosed for providing an improved linearity Gilbert mixer. The Gilbert mixer of the present invention includes a conventional mixer core coupled to a high linearity, multistage amplifier. The multistage amplifier includes two or more transistor stages connected together in a global feedback arrangement. The global feedback provides a greater loop gain for the amplifier than the local feedback arrangement, thereby increasing the linearity of the amplifier. In addition, having more than one transistor stage in the amplifier serves to increase the isolation of the RF input signal from the LO input signal. Furthermore, by providing parallel output stages in the multistage amplifier, several mixer cores may be driven from the same source while sharing the feedback mechanism.

    摘要: A radiofrequency (RF) receiver circuit and method offer one or more performance improvements, such as an increased input compression point through better out-of-band interference suppression. In one example, an RF receiver circuit includes a low-noise amplifier (LNA) circuit and a mixer. The mixer output signal serves as negative feedback to the LNA circuit for improved compression point performance at interferer frequencies in or out of band with respect to a frequency of interest. Compression point performance is further improved for interferer signal components away from the frequency of interest by including at least one frequency-dependent circuit in the LNA circuit that is configured to reduce amplifier gain for such frequencies. The frequency-dependent circuit(s) may be tunable for different frequencies of interest. Additional improvements may be obtained by including a broadband input matching circuit and/or by including active mixer loads to increase the voltage conversion gain of the RF receiver circuit.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods and circuit configurations for reference frequency signal distribution circuitry that suppress unwanted spurious components introduced by way of RF signal leakage. The methods and circuitry may include relocating components of a buffer along a reference frequency signal path, thereby suppressing conductive and inductive components associated with RF leakage paths entering the circuitry. A filter also may be used after the buffer to suppress spurious components resulting from subsampling of unwanted tones in a phase frequency detector or intermodulation between the reference signal and interference tones in the signal-path of the buffer.

    摘要: Direct frequency modulation of a phase-locked loop (PLL) output signal is achieved by means of a modulation signal comprising a digital sequence. The digital modulation signal is coupled to the input of the VCO of the PLL, and is also coupled to drive an up-down counter. The output of the counter is coupled to a D/A converter to provide a compensation signal for the PLL. When the counter output reaches values representing modulation-induced phase errors of +360 degrees and −360 degrees, the counter generates signals respectively corresponding thereto to adjust the PLL frequency divider.

    摘要: A communications terminal having a receiver and a method therefor is provided that substantially removes a known interferer from a digitally translated intermediate frequency signal. More specifically, the receiver includes an antenna for receiving a signal, and at least one combination of a mixer and filter for translating in the analog domain the signal to the intermediate frequency signal while maintaining separation from baseband. The receiver also includes a digitizer for digitally translating the intermediate frequency signal containing the known interferer from the analog domain into the digital domain, and an interference cancellation system for removing the known interferer from the digitally translated intermediate frequency signal by utilizing either a DC offset compensator or a correlator compensator.

    摘要: An FM demodulator circuit includes a filter (10) and a detector (14) for receiving a frequency modulated input signal and for providing a demodulated output signal. A tuning circuit (19) is provided for tuning the frequency characteristics of the filter and of the detector. A DC offset estimator (18) is connected to the output of the detector to produce an offset signal representing the estimated DC offset of the demodulated output signal, and to provide the offset signal to the tuning circuit. The tuning circuit is operable to tune the frequency characteristics of the filter and detector in dependence upon the offset signal.
