A system for a fast, closed power control loop that quickly adjusts the output power of a power amplifier in a non-constant amplitude modulation format. Embodiments of the invention allow fast and precise closed loop power control in a communication system that has a transmit signal that includes a phase modulated component and an amplitude modulated signal component. By detecting the level of the transmit signal before and after the power amplifier, the invention ignores changes in the amplitude of the transmit signal, resulting in an accurate measure of the power amplifier gain. The difference between the level of the transmit signal before and after the power amplifier provides a signal that represents the gain of the power amplifier. The gain signal is compared with a reference signal to develop an error signal. The error signal is used to control the output of the power amplifier.

A single continuous closed-loop power control feedback system provides seamless power control/for a power amplifier and also enables an AM signal to be injected into the power amplifier through the power amplifiers' control port. The AM signal is developed by an I/Q modulator and supplied to a comparator located in the power control loop. By using leakage from the power amplifier as feedback to a phase locked loop during initial power amplifier power ramp-up, the single continuous closed-loop power control system provides continuous feedback to the phase locked loop during the entire power amplification ramp-up period and eliminates the need for multiple feedback loops,

This invention relates to an oscillator that includes first and second switching elements that each have a control terminal, and first and second conduction terminals. The control terminal of the second switching element is coupled to the first conduction terminal of the first switching element, and the control terminal of the first switching element is coupled to the first conduction terminal of the second switching element. The oscillator also may include first and second capacitive elements, first and second inductive elements, and a resistive element. The first capacitive element may be coupled between the control terminal of the first switching element and a first reference node, and the second capacitive element may be coupled between the control terminal of the second switching element and the first reference node. The first inductive element may be coupled between the control terminal of the first switching element and a second reference node, and the second inductive element may be coupled between the control terminal of the second switching element and the second reference node. The resistive element may be coupled between the second conduction terminals of the switching elements and the first reference node. One or both of the first and second capacitive elements may have a variable capacitance.

A system for reducing internal interference in a radio-frequency (RF) receiver includes providing a plurality of time slots within a frame where the receiver is configured to receive external RF signals during a receive time slot within the frame. External RF signals are the prevented from reaching a front-end portion of the receiver and the receiver is activated, and a predetermined period of time is permitted to elapse to permit the receiver to settle. An interference data collection is performed during a period of time prior to a predetermined receive time slot where the data collected represents internally generated interference signals. The data collected during the interference data collection is processed to determine a bias value corresponding to the interference signals, and the receiver is then permitted to receive external RF signals during the predetermined receive time slot so that data is collected during the predetermined receive time slot. The data collected during the predetermined receive time slot is processed and the bias value is subtracted from the data collected to provide output data corresponding to the external RF signals absent the interference signals.

A differential oscillator based on a first Colpitts oscillator and a mirror image Colpitts oscillator that is coupled to the first Colpitts oscillator. This differential oscillator outputs differential voltage signals that are about 180 degrees out of phase. The differential oscillator may also be adapted to form a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) such that the differential voltage signals output by the VCO can be varied. A transceiver for telecommunication devices such as cellular phones may use differential oscillators to generate a carrier signal on which a voice or data signal is modulated and the same differential oscillators to assist isolation of the voice or data signal from received signals.

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.
