Abstract: A low noise amplifier circuit (10) includes an attenuator (12) for receiving a calibration signal and generating an attenuated calibration signal. A low noise amplifier (14) amplifies the attenuated calibration signal in calibration mode or amplifies a functional signal in functional mode. In calibration mode, a envelope detector/comparator (16) compares the calibration signal with the output of the low noise amplifier and generates a compensation signal indicating a deviation between the two signals. The gain of the low noise amplifier is adjusted responsive to the compensation signal.

Abstract: A dynamically varying linearity system nullDVLSnull capable of varying the linearity of a radio frequency (RF) front-end of a communication device responsive to receiving a condition signal indicating a desired mode of operation of a transmitter. The DVLS may include a condition signal indicative of the desired mode of operation and a controller that adjusts the linearity of the transmitter responsive to the condition signal. The condition signal may be responsive to a user interface. The controller, responsive to the condition signal, may dynamically adjust the operating current of the transmitter.

Abstract: An electronic device with wireless circuitry is provided. The wireless circuitry can include a radio-frequency data converter block configured to receive baseband signals and to output corresponding radio-frequency signals to a radio-frequency power amplifier. The radio-frequency data converter block may include one or more radio-frequency digital-to-analog converter (DAC) cells configured to receive an oscillator signal. The radio-frequency data converter block can exhibit a gain that is controlled using gain control circuitry. The gain control circuitry can control the gain of the radio-frequency data converter block by selectively enabling switchable components within each DAC cell to realize an incremental gain step of a first resolution and by adjusting the duty cycle of the oscillator signal to realize an incremental gain step of a second resolution finer than the first resolution.

Abstract: A control portion for controlling an amplifier portion of a transmitter device is provided. The amplifier portion is arranged to amplify a radio signal with a transmission gain based at least partially on a gain control signal and having a nominal gain relationship between the gain control signal and the transmission gain. The control portion is arranged to determine a desired transmission gain, to determine one or more operating conditions, to calculate a gain control signal for causing the amplifier portion to apply the desired transmission gain, taking into account the nominal gain relationship and the one or more operating conditions, and to output said gain control signal. The gain control signal is different to a gain control signal calculated based only on the nominal gain relationship.

Abstract: A method of operating a radio receiver device comprises receiving a plurality of signals with a plurality of corresponding frequencies; applying respective gains to each of the plurality of signals; and storing the gain applied to each signal and its corresponding frequency. The method comprises subsequently receiving a further signal with a further frequency; and applying a further gain to the further signal. The further gain is determined using at least one of the stored gains according to a difference between the further frequency and at least one of the plurality of corresponding frequencies.

Abstract: Envelope tracking power amplifiers with advanced gain shaping are provided. In certain implementations, a power amplifier system includes a power amplifier that amplifies a radio frequency (RF) signal and an envelope tracker that controls a voltage level of a supply voltage of the power amplifier based on an envelope of the RF signal. The power amplifier system further includes a gain shaping circuit that generates a gain shaping current that changes with the voltage level of the supply voltage from the envelope tracker. For example, the gain shaping circuit can include an analog look-up table (LUT) mapping a particular voltage level of the supply voltage to a particular current level of gain shaping current. Additionally, the gain shaping circuit biases the power amplifier based on the gain shaping current.
