    Abstract: Techniques for calibrating a receiver based on a local oscillator (LO) signal from another receiver are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus (e.g., a wireless device or an integrated circuit) includes first and second local oscillator (LO) generators. The first LO generator generates a first LO signal used by a first receiver for frequency downconversion. The second LO generator generates a second LO signal used by a second receiver for frequency downconversion in a first operating mode. The second LO signal is used to generate a test signal for the first receiver in a second operating mode. The second LO signal may be provided as the test signal or may be amplitude modulated with a modulating signal to generate the test signal. The test signal may be used to calibrate residual sideband (RSB), second order input intercept point (IIP2), receive path gain, etc.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus may be a regulator circuit. The regulator circuit includes a first voltage regulator to regulate a first input voltage to the first voltage regulator, the first voltage regulator including a P-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS), a second voltage regulator to regulate a second input voltage to the second voltage regulator, and a switch circuit to selectively activate at least one of the first voltage regulator or the second voltage regulator. In one aspect, the second voltage regulator includes an N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS). In one aspect, the second voltage regulator comprises a two-stage operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) circuit. In an aspect, the first voltage regulator is coupled to the second voltage regulator.

    Abstract: A multi-mode receiver is disclosed that is reconfigurable to share a local oscillator signal in diversity mode to save power consumption. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes a primary receiver having a primary mixer configured to down-convert a primary signal and a secondary mixer configured to down-convert a secondary signal in carrier aggregation mode. The apparatus also includes a supplemental mixer that uses a shared primary local oscillator (LO) signal generated by a shared primary frequency synthesizer in diversity mode to reduce power consumption. The apparatus further includes a controller configured to disable the secondary mixer and to enable the supplemental mixer to down-convert the secondary signal when operating in the diversity mode.
