    Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods in a mobile device to multiplex two global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals on a single hardware receiver chain are presented. The GNSS signals may come from a common GNSS system on two bands of two different GNSS systems overlapping on a common band. A duty cycle of the GNSS signals may be based on a harmonic being within one of the first band and the second band. The duty cycle may be based on signal quality, such as indicating a jammed or non jammed signal. The duty cycle may be of unequal proportions and less than 100% such that the receiver chain is idle for a percentage of time.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for generating multiple oscillating signals. One example circuit generally includes a first voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) having a first inductor and a second VCO having a second inductor in parallel with a third inductor, wherein the second and third inductors are disposed inside a loop of the first inductor and may behave as a magnetic dipole. The loop of the first inductor may be symmetrical, and a combined geometry of loops of the second and third inductors may be symmetrical. The coupling coefficient (k) between the first inductor and a combination of the second and third inductors may be small (e.g., k

    Abstract: An analog front-end (AFE) for a communications device includes a low-power frequency synthesizer with reduced footprint. The AFE includes a first frequency synthesizer and a second frequency synthesizer. The first frequency synthesizer is coupled to a transmit (TX) chain and to a receive (RX) chain of the AFE. The first frequency synthesizer is to generate a first local oscillator (LO) signal for transmitting or receiving carrier signals when the device is in a normal operating mode. The second frequency synthesizer is coupled to the RX chain and shares one or more components of the TX chain. The second frequency synthesizer is to utilize the one or more shared components to generate a second LO signal for receiving carrier signals when the device operates in a low-power mode. For example, the one or more shared components may include a voltage source and/or one or more inductors.

    Abstract: Various aspects of this disclosure describe the calibration of residual sideband energy in a receiver, for example estimating gain mismatch and phase mismatch in in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase channels (Q) of a receiver. An input to the receiver is supplied with an input signal generated to comprise a bandwidth including a plurality of frequencies, such as a linear frequency modulation signal. An output signal of the receiver is filtered by a filter programmed to be matched to the input signal, and estimates of gain error and phase error in I and Q channels of the receiver are determined from the filtered outputs.
