    摘要: Radio frequency (RF) transmitter circuitry, which includes an RF power amplifier (PA) and an envelope tracking power supply, is disclosed. The RF PA receives and amplifies an RF input signal to provide an RF transmit signal using an envelope power supply signal. The envelope tracking power supply provides the envelope power supply signal, which has switching ripple. Further, the envelope tracking power supply operates in either a normal switching ripple mode or a modified switching ripple mode, such that during the normal switching ripple mode, the envelope power supply signal has normal switching ripple, and during the modified switching ripple mode, the envelope power supply signal has modified switching ripple. When the modified switching ripple is required, the envelope tracking power supply operates in the modified switching ripple mode.

    摘要: A front end radio architecture (FERA) with power management is disclosed. The FERA includes a first power amplifier (PA) block having a first-first PA and a first-second PA, and a second PA block having a second-first PA and a second-second PA. First and second modulated switchers are adapted to selectively supply power to the first-first PA and the second-first PA, and to supply power to the first-second PA and the second-second PA, respectively. The first and second modulated switchers have a modulation bandwidth of at least 20 MHz and are both suitable for envelope tracking modulation. A control system is adapted to selectively enable and disable the first-first PA, first-second PA, the second-first PA, and the second-second PA. First and second switches are responsive to control signals to route carriers and received signals between first and second antennas depending upon a selectable mode of operation such as intra-band or inter-band operation.

    摘要: A half-bandwidth based quadrature analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes in-phase circuitry, quadrature-phase circuitry, and digital complex processing circuitry. The in-phase circuitry includes an in-phase pair of ADCs, which provide an in-phase pair of sub-quadrature output signals, based on an analog in-phase input signal. Similarly, the quadrature-phase circuitry includes a quadrature-phase pair of ADCs, which provide a quadrature-phase pair of sub-quadrature output signals based on an analog quadrature-phase input signal. The digital complex processing circuitry combines, filters, and restructures the in-phase pair of sub-quadrature output signals and the quadrature-phase pair of sub-quadrature output signals to provide a digital in-phase output signal and a digital quadrature-phase output signal. Each of the in-phase pair of ADCs has about an ADC bandwidth. The in-phase circuitry has an input bandwidth, which is about equal to two times the ADC bandwidth in one embodiment of the in-phase circuitry.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to down conversion circuitry that uses a fast DC correction method to correct for a DC offset of an RF mixer and a post mixer amplifier. The down conversion circuitry may include a DC correction amplifier downstream of the post mixer amplifier to apply a DC correction, which is based on a gain of the post mixer amplifier. During a calibration mode, the DC offset of the RF mixer and the post mixer amplifier are determined at multiple gain levels of the post mixer amplifier. The DC correction needed at multiple gain levels of the post mixer amplifier is then determined based on the determined DC offset. During a normal operation mode, a desired gain of the post mixer amplifier is selected and a determined DC correction that correlates with the desired gain is provided.

    摘要: The present invention relates to estimating a direct current (DC) offset of a radio frequency (RF) receiver when an estimated amplitude of a continuous-transmission amplitude-modulated (AM) RF signal is below a first threshold and when the RF receiver is not receiving an RF input signal. The estimated DC offset of the RF receiver may be used to improve RF receiver performance, particularly over temperature and supply voltage variations. Estimating the DC offset of the RF receiver when the estimated instantaneous amplitude of the continuous-transmission AM RF signal is below the first threshold may minimize errors in the estimated DC offset.
