    Abstract: An apparatus and a method are disclosed for synchronizing clock signals distributed within a wireless device. In some embodiments, a local oscillator (LO) clock signal is buffered and distributed to two or more transceivers within the wireless device. Each transceiver may include a configurable clock divider to divide the distributed LO clock signal and generate an output clock signal. A phase detector compares output clock signals from each of the configurable clock dividers and generates an output signal in accordance with a determined phase difference. The phase detector output signal may cause at least one of the configurable clock dividers to modify its respective output clock signal, and thereby synchronize output clock signals between different configurable clock dividers. In some embodiments, a clock signal from a configurable clock divider may be modified (shifted) by approximately 90 or 180 degrees.

    Abstract: Methods and circuits can down convert at least a first RF signal on a first path in a first frequency band to provide a first IF signal. A second RF signal on second path in a second frequency band can be down converted to provide a second IF signal. The first IF signal and the second IF signal are interspersed in the frequency domain, and the first frequency band is different from the second frequency band. A combiner can combine at least part of the first IF signal and the second IF signal to provide a combined signal on an output signal path for reception by a digital processing circuit. The first IF signal or second IF signal can be a Zero IF (ZIF), very low IF (VLIF), or Low IF (LIF) signal.

    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) receiver, for example a satellite positioning system receiver, can be configured to use a single phase locked loop for generating an oscillator signal to perform downconversion of signals in two different frequency bands using two or more local oscillators. A first RF signal portion includes a first signal band and undergoes double downconversion using a first mixer and a second mixer, while a second RF signal portion includes a second signal band and undergoes single downconversion using a single mixer. A controller is configured to determine a first oscillator divider value and a second oscillator divider value to avoid a jammer frequency and frequency dividers are used to generate the two or more local oscillators.
