    Abstract: Radio frequency amplifier with constant gain setting. A circuitry that includes triple well connected MOSFETs is employed to eliminate body effects therein. The voltage gain as presented herein, being implemented using a ratio of certain elements within the circuitry, is immune to variations in temperature, power supply voltage, and process variations. One implementation employs an array of selectable MOSFETs to allow for more than one gain setting to be provided by the amplifier. Such an amplifier has a variable/selectable gain setting. An appropriately placed MOSFET is employed to provide the desired input impedance (e.g., 50Ω). This design can be implemented using multiple n-channel metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (N-MOSFETs) (some of which are triple well connected) and p-channel metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (P-MOSFETs), or alternatively using P-MOSFETs and N-MOSFETs.

    Abstract: Low flicker noise mixer and buffer. This design employs some native metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) (e.g., having no threshold voltage) within a passive mixer whose gates are driven using clock signals. These native MOSFETs maybe biased at one half of the power supply voltage to provide a lower noise figure. A cooperatively operating buffer employs appropriately places MOSFETs and resistors to ensure the desired gain. Relatively larger valued resistors can be employed to provide for higher voltage gain, and this can sometimes be accompanied with using a higher than typical power supply voltage. Source followers serve as output buffers and also ensure the required output DC voltage level as well. It is also noted that this design can be implemented using n-channel metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (N-MOSFETs) of p-channel metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (P-MOSFETs).

    Abstract: Fully integrated compact cross-coupled low noise amplifier. A circuitry implementation that includes two pairs of metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) (either N-type of P-type) operates as an LNA, which can be used within any of a wide variety of communication devices. A majority of the elements are integrated within the design and need not be implemented off-chip, and this can provide for a reduction in area required by the circuitry. A differential 100Ω input impedance is provided by this design. A higher than typical power supply voltage can be employed (if desired) to accommodate one possible implementation that includes two parallel implemented resistors to ground.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to calibrate an oscillator circuit to reduce frequency pulling as a result of a change in power to a portion of the oscillator circuit. In an embodiment, an oscillator is coupled to a clock buffer circuit and a tuning capacitor configured to tune a frequency of the oscillator to a baseline frequency required for cellular communications. A change in power to the clock buffer circuit initiates a change in an amount of capacitance seen by the oscillator, which negatively impacts the tuning of the oscillator. A register stores a frequency offset caused by the change in power, and the tuning capacitor is adjusted, using the frequency offset, in response to the change in power, such that the total amount of capacitance seen by the oscillator is not changed when the change in power occurs.
