摘要:
Techniques for using a narrow filter located before a power amplifier to reduce interference in an adjacent frequency band are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus (e.g., a wireless device) includes the narrow filter and the power amplifier. The narrow filter is for a first frequency band (e.g., Band 40) and has a first bandwidth that is more narrow than the first frequency band. The narrow filter receives and filters an input radio frequency (RF) signal and provides a filtered RF signal. The power amplifier receives and amplifies the filtered RF signal and provides an amplified RF signal. The apparatus may further include a full filter for the first frequency band and located after the power amplifier. The full filter receives and filters the amplified RF signal and provides an output RF signal when it is selected for use.

A method for dividing the frequency of a signal using a configurable dividing ratio is disclosed. An input signal with a first frequency is received at clocked switches in a frequency divider with a configurable dividing ratio. Non-clocked switches inside the frequency divider are operated to select one of multiple dividing ratios. An output signal is output with a second frequency that is the first frequency divided by the selected dividing ratio.

A synchronized frequency divider that can divide a clock signal in frequency and provide differential output signals having good signal characteristics is described. In one exemplary design, the synchronized frequency divider includes a single-ended frequency divider and a synchronization circuit. The single-ended frequency divider divides the clock signal in frequency and provides first and second single-ended signals, which may be complementary signals having timing skew. The synchronization circuit resamples the first and second single-ended signals based on the clock signal and provides differential output signals having reduced timing skew. In one exemplary design, the synchronization circuit includes first and second switches and first and second inverters. The first switch and the first inverter form a first sample-and-hold circuit or a first latch that resamples the first single-ended signal. The second switch and the second inverter form a second sample-and-hold circuit or a second latch that resamples the second single-ended signal.

A biasing device includes closed-loop transconductance slaving circuit, able to slave the time average of the base/emitter or gate/source voltage of the amplifier transistor (Q1) to a reference voltage corresponding to a desired quiescent current for the transistor. Moreover, viewed from the base or gate of the amplifier transistor (Q1), the impedance of the base/emitter or gate/source circuit is small at low frequency, and large with respect to the impedance of the radio frequency source within the radio frequency range of the signal. The device can be incorporated in a mobile terminal, such as a cellular mobile phone.
