摘要: A radio-frequency receiver circuitry includes a down-converter circuitry, an analog-to-digital converter circuitry, and a DC offset reduction circuitry. The down-converter circuitry accepts a received radio-frequency signal and processes the radio-frequency signal to provide an in-phase down-converted signal and a quadrature down-converted signal to the analog-to-digital converter circuitry. The analog-to-digital converter circuitry converts the in-phase and quadrature down-converted signals to an in-phase digital output signal and a quadrature digital output signal, respectively. The DC offset reduction circuitry couples to the analog-to-digital converter circuitry, and tends to reduce a DC offset transmitted to the in-phase and quadrature digital output signals.

摘要: A radio-frequency (RF) receiver includes a receiver analog circuitry and a receiver digital circuitry coupled together. The receiver analog circuitry receives an RF signal. The receiver analog circuitry processes the received RF signal and generates a digital signal that it provides to the receiver digital circuitry. The receiver digital circuitry includes a digital down-converter circuitry that mixes the digital signal provided by a receiver analog circuitry with a digital intermediate frequency (IF) local oscillator signal to generate a digital down-converted signal. The receiver digital circuitry also includes a digital filter circuitry that filters the digital down-converted signal to generate a filtered digital signal. The digital filter circuitry provides a notch at a frequency that corresponds to a residual DC offset of the receiver analog circuitry.

摘要: A radio-frequency (RF) apparatus capable of transmitting RF signals includes transmitter path circuitry. The transmitter path circuitry includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) circuitry. The VCO circuitry generates a first signal that has a first frequency. A divider circuitry couples to the VCO circuitry and, in response to the first signal, the divider circuitry generates a second signal that has a second frequency. The frequency of the second signal equals the frequency of the first signal divided by a number.

摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention includes an amplifier having a transistor stage coupled between a supply voltage and a bias current. The transistor stage has an input to receive a radio frequency (RF) input signal obtained from an antenna. The amplifier has an input impedance that is unmatched to a source impedance of the antenna. In some embodiments, this unmatched input impedance may be substantially greater than the source impedance, and may further be controlled based on a strength of the RF input signal.

摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention includes an amplifier having an input to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal from an output node of a source. An input stage coupled to the amplifier input may include one or more components to aid in processing of incoming signals. One such component coupled between the source and the input of the amplifier is a coupling capacitor used to maintain a bias voltage of the amplifier at a different potential than a DC voltage of the output node. In certain applications, the amplifier and the coupling capacitor may be integrated on a single substrate.
