    摘要: A system for a closed power control feedback loop allows for the use of a non-linear amplifier for amplifying a phase modulated (PM) signal while introducing an inverse version of the desired amplitude modulated (AM) signal into the feedback loop using a variable gain element. By introducing an inverse version of the desired AM portion of the signal into the power control feedback loop, the non-linear, and highly efficient, power amplifier may be used to amplify only the PM portion of the signal, while the AM portion is introduced by the power control feedback loop. In another aspect of the invention, an inverse version of the AM portion of the desired transmit signal is introduced into the power control feedback loop of an amplifier that is amplifying both a phase modulated signal and an amplitude modulated signal. By introducing an inverse version of the desired AM signal into the power control feedback loop, the power control feedback loop may not cancel the AM component present at the output of the power amplifier. In yet another aspect of the invention, the desired AM signal is injected into the feedback loop along with the power control reference signal.

    摘要: A system and method for minimizing power dissipation in a battery-operated mobile unit by adaptively controlling a voltage converter to provide a variable power supply voltage to a transmitter. In the preferred embodiment, the voltage converter is coupled to receive a source voltage from a battery, and is coupled to provide operating power to the transmitter or the power amplifier. The voltage converter is also coupled to receive a control signal from a controller, which adaptively activates the voltage converter to transform the source voltage to a converted voltage, or deactivates the voltage converter so as to directly apply the source voltage to the transmitter. Power dissipation is therefore minimized when conversion functions of the voltage converter are deactivated when voltage conversion is unnecessary.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for improving the sensitivity of a radio frequency (RF) receiver at certain frequencies suffering from co-channel interference. In the preferred embodiment, when a reference frequency, FREF, generates significant harmonics for a received RF signal in a selected channel, the reference frequency is varied or offset by a small amount, &Dgr;F. The harmonics of the offset reference frequency, F′REF=FREF±&Dgr;F, are thereby shifted away from the frequency of the received RF signal, thus reducing co-channel interference. The offset amount &Dgr;F is chosen such that the same injection frequency synthesized from FREF can still be synthesized from FREF±&Dgr;F by shifting N by an integer amount, preferably to N+1 or N−1. However, the invention encompasses shifting N by other integer amounts.

    摘要: A controller and a circuit work together to enable a selective and dynamic adjustment to correct phase and gain imbalances in quadrature signal paths of a receiver. Under select conditions, it has been determined that statistical estimates of gain and phase imbalance can be applied to adjust signals in the quadrature signal paths of a receiver. The controller validates the select conditions before updating the estimate of the gain imbalance and the estimate of the phase imbalance. The controller directs a compensator under select operating conditions such that validated dynamic estimates of the gain and phase imbalance or calibration data is applied to the quadrature signal paths. The controller disables the compensator and enables an estimator and a calculator when estimates are unavailable for the present operating conditions.

    摘要: A software defined transmit architecture includes a plurality of individually selectable components that can be selectively enabled to transmit a data signal that complies with any of a plurality of transmission standards. The software defined transmit architecture comprises components that can be enabled by associated logic to transmit, for example, communications signals that comply with the global system for mobile communications (GSM), enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE), which employs TDMA, and wide band code division multiple access (WCDMA) transmission standards. A single transmit architecture supports multiple transmission standards, thus minimizing the number of components in a multi-band, multi-mode portable transceiver, while reducing the number of active components.
