    摘要: A system providing a phase or frequency modulated signal is provided. In general, the system includes a phase locked loop (PLL) having a fractional-N divider in a reference path of the PLL operating to divide a reference frequency based on a pre-distorted modulation signal. Pre-distortion circuitry operates to provide the pre-distorted modulation signal by pre-distorting a modulation signal such that a convolution, or cascade, of the pre-distortion and a transfer function of the PLL results in a substantially flat frequency response for a range of modulation rates greater than a bandwidth of the PLL.

    摘要: A fractional-N offset phase locked loop (FN-OPLL) is provided. The FN-OPLL includes a fractional divider, a phase detector, a loop filter, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and feedback circuitry. Combiner circuitry combines an initial fractional divide value and a modulation signal to provide a combined fractional divide value. Based on the combined fractional divide value, the fractional-N divider divides a reference frequency and provides a divided reference frequency to the phase detector. The phase detector compares a phase of the divided reference frequency to a phase of a feedback signal to provide a comparison signal. The comparison signal is filtered by the loop filter to provide a control signal to the VCO, where the control signal controls a frequency of an output signal of the VCO. The output signal is processed by the feedback circuitry to provide the feedback signal to the phase detector.

    摘要: A polar modulator creates an amplitude signal and a frequency signal and digitally adjusts the signals so that the frequency and amplitude signals arrive at the power amplifier at the appropriate times. A digital predistortion filter is applied to the frequency signal. The frequency signal is then provided to a single port of a fractional N divider in a phase locked loop. The output of the phase locked loop drives an input of the power amplifier while the amplitude signal is converted to an analog signal and controls the power supply input of the power amplifier.

    摘要: A circuit and method for a saturation correction of a power amplifier (PA) is provided in order to maintain a desirable switching spectrum. The circuit includes a closed loop system that is responsive to a dynamic PA control signal known as VRAMP. The method samples a detector voltage that represents the output of the PA at the maximum voltage level of VRAMP. The sampled detector voltage is then reduced by a predetermined amount and applied as a fixed voltage PA control signal in the place of VRAMP. As a result, the closed loop system responds to the fixed voltage PA control signal to bring the PA out of saturation before VRAMP can begin a voltage decrease. Once the VRAMP voltage decreases, VRAMP is reapplied as a dynamic PA control signal in place of the fixed voltage control signal.

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.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to IQ modulation circuitry that during a data burst mode, modulates an RF carrier signal to provide a modulated RF signal, which is used for transmission of a transmit slot. During the data burst mode, a maximum energy spectrum peak of the modulated RF signal is about coincident with an RF carrier frequency of the RF carrier signal to comply with communications protocols. Further, during an energy-shifted ramp-down mode, which is coincident with ramp-down of the modulated RF signal, the IQ modulation circuitry modulates the RF carrier signal to provide the modulated RF signal. During the energy-shifted ramp-down mode, the maximum energy spectrum peak of the modulated RF signal is shifted away from the RF carrier frequency of the RF carrier signal to mitigate the effects of preparing for receiving an RF receive signal.

    摘要: A dual FET detector having a common RF input and a common detector output for two detector circuits is provided. The first detector circuit is optimized for detecting lower RF signal levels while the second detector circuit is optimized for detecting higher RF signal levels. A detector output voltage output from the common detector output is a composite signal made up of the individual contributions of the two detector circuits. A control circuit receives a feedback signal derived from the detector output voltage, and uses the feedback signal to control a transition between urging a predominance of the contribution to the detector output voltage from one of the detector circuits to the other. The control of the transition between the detector circuits ensures that whichever of the two detector circuits is best optimized for a particular RF signal level will contribute the most to the detector output voltage.

The set of data points that characterize the nominal non-linear power detector is stored in a calibration system memory as nominal power detector output data. The measured non-linear power detector outputs, power amplifier output levels, and the nominal power detector output data is used to determine a power detector error function that characterizes the difference between the response of the non-linear power detector and the nominal non-linear power detector. The power detector error function and the nominal power detector output data are used to develop a calibrated power detector output data set that is stored in the non-linear power detector.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for transitioning between modulation formats in adjacent transmit bursts. The system includes a modulation system having a data interface, first modulation circuitry operating according to a first modulation format, and second modulation circuitry operating according to a second modulation format. During a transition between a first transmit burst in the first modulation format and a second transmit burst in the second modulation format, the data interface receives a timing signal signifying a start of data for the second transmit burst. In response to the timing signal, the second modulation circuitry resets, and the data interface delays the data for the second transmit burst by a modulator delay time. By delaying the data for the second transmit burst, a glitch caused by resetting the second modulation circuitry arrives at the output of the second modulation circuitry prior to the data for the second transmit burst.
