    Abstract: An amplification unit reduces a duty cycle of a digital signal at a carrier radio frequency to optimize the efficiency of the RF power amplifier that amplifies the reduced duty cycle signal. An exemplary amplification unit includes a duty cycle controller and a digital power amplifier. A delay unit in the duty cycle controller applies a delay to an input digital signal at the carrier radio frequency to generate a delayed signal at the carrier radio frequency. A logic gate in the duty cycle controller logically combines the input digital signal with the delayed signal to generate a modified digital signal at the carrier radio frequency, where the modified input digital signal has a reduced duty cycle relative to that of the input digital signal. Amplifying the modified digital signal in the digital RF power amplifier generates an amplified analog signal at the carrier radio frequency while improving amplifier efficiency.

    Abstract: One or more tasks to be executed on one or more processors are formulated into a graph, with dependencies between the tasks defined as edges in the graph. In the case of a Radio Access Technology (RAT) application, the graph is iterative, whereby each task may be activated a number of times that may be unknown at compile time. A discrete number of allowable frequencies for processors while executing tasks are defined, and the power dissipation of the processors at those frequencies determined. A linear programming problem is then formulated and solved, which minimizes the overall power dissipation across all processors executing all tasks, subject to several constraints that guarantee complete and proper functionality. The switching of processors executing the tasks between operating points (frequency, voltage) may be controlled by embedding instructions into the tasks at design or compile time, or by a local supervisor monitoring execution of the tasks.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device (400) is arranged to transmit a transmission signal in an assigned channel bandwidth. The wireless communication device (400) comprises: a local oscillator (460) arranged to generate a local oscillator signal at a local oscillator frequency and a modulator (434) arranged for converting in-phase and quadrature-phase components of a modulation signal at a modulation frequency to a radio frequency by mixing the in-phase and quadrature-phase components with the local oscillator signal. The local oscillator frequency is arranged to place a third order intermodulation product having a frequency equal to the local oscillator frequency minus three times the modulation frequency within the assigned channel bandwidth.

    Abstract: A device and a method for implementing pulse width modulation for switching amplifiers (120) is described herein. In one embodiment, the device includes a sampling signal generator (202) to generate a sampling signal (208) and a modulation unit (102) operatively coupled to the sampling signal generator (202).

    Abstract: A method of generating a first oscillator signal having a desired frequency in a first frequency range comprises generating in a voltage controlled oscillator unit a second oscillator signal having a frequency in a second frequency range of at least one octave. The method further comprises selecting said second continuous frequency range to have a lower endpoint in said first frequency range and an upper endpoint above said range; and selectively using the oscillator signal unchanged or dividing it by a division ratio selected from integer powers of the number 2 to obtain said first oscillator signal. By centering the VCO higher than otherwise required and using an additional divider, so that the VCO signal can selectively be used unchanged or divided, a sufficient margin below as well as above the desired range for e.g. drift and tolerances of the VCO is achieved. It also simplifies the VCO design.

    Abstract: A method for conditionally stopping execution of a turbo decoder is proposed. The decoder has elementary decoders. Each elementary decoder performs a sequence of decoding operations and is arranged to receive an input from at least one other elementary decoder. The method determines for each specific decoding operation if the sequence of elementary decoding operations of the specific elementary decoder has substantially converged or substantially diverged. The method terminates the execution of decoding operations if a number of sequences has substantially converged or substantially diverged.
