A channel-select decimation filter capable of operating in multiple bandwidth modes includes a first low pass filter stage, a variable gain stage, a subtraction module a second low pass filter stage and a down-sampling module. The first low pass filter stage includes a first programmable delay module for filtering input signals to produce first low pass filtered signals. The variable gain stage applies a programmable gain to the input signals to produce gained input signals. The subtraction module subtracts the first low pass filtered signals from the gain input signals to produce first stage signals. The second low pass filter stage includes a second programmable delay module for filtering the first stage signals to produce channel-selected signals. The first programmable delay module, second programmable delay module and programmable gain are programmed to implement one of the multiple bandwidth modes.

A method for calibrating a phase locked loop begins by determining a gain offset of a voltage controlled oscillator of the phase locked loop. The processing then continues by adjusting current of a charge pump of the phase locked loop based on the gain offset.

A radio receiver includes a single analog to digital converter, a 1st digital mixing module, and a 2nd digital mixing module. The single analog to digital converter is coupled to convert the filtered IF signal into a digital IF signal, which includes information regarding an in-phase component and a quadrature component of a modulated RF signal. The 1st and 2nd mixing modules each receive the digital IF signal and mix the digital IF signal with an in-phase and quadrature digital local oscillation to produce a 1st baseband signal component and a 2nd baseband signal component.

A radio frequency (RF) transmitter includes a digital radio processor and a baseband processor. A complex analog-to-digital converter (ADC) within the radio processor provides an analog interface to the baseband processor to receive an analog complex modulated baseband signal and convert the analog complex modulated baseband signal to a digital complex modulated baseband signal. A demodulator within the radio processor demodulates the digital complex modulated baseband signal to recreate the original transmit digital data as a demodulated digital signal. The demodulated digital signal is processed by a digital processor in the radio processor to mitigate the effects of various imperfections in the radio processor circuitry.

The present invention implements an architecture that changes the sequence of digital processing so that equalization occurs prior to phase accumulation. A phase differentiator receives an envelope path phase signal to produce a differentiated phase signal to an equalizer. The transfer function of the phase differentiator is implemented so that it cancels, except for a one-cycle delay, the transfer function of the phase accumulator. This cancellation substantially eliminates accumulation of the envelop path phase signal. Additionally, a dither signal added to the quantization nodes in the equalizers shifts the spectral content of the quantization noise such that the phase accumulator sees the quantization noise as zero mean white noise. Implemented as one of a rounding or flooring quantizer, biquad filters in the equalizers round or truncate the equalizer output to a minimal bit width based on a desired output phase error.

A radio receiver includes a low noise amplifier, a down conversion module, an analog to digital converter, and a digital demodulator. The digital demodulator is operably coupled to convert the digital low IF signals into inbound digital symbols and includes a baseband conversion module, a filtering module, a programmable equalizer, a CORDIC module, and a demodulation module. The programmable equalizer is operably coupled to equalize phase and frequency response of filtered digital baseband signals from the filtering module such that the phase and frequency response of the filtered digital baseband signals approximates phase and frequency response of a square root raised cosine filter to produce adjusted digital baseband signals. The CORDIC module is operably coupled to produce phase and magnitude information from the adjusted digital baseband signals. The demodulation module is operably coupled to produce the inbound digital symbols from the phase and magnitude information.

An RF transmitter includes a digital processor that includes a time shift signal determination block that produces a time shift signal based upon a bleed over power level in an adjacent channel resulting from downstream phase and magnitude mismatch of a primary signal. In one embodiment, the time shift signal determination block includes logic and circuitry for determining a power ratio for a primary signal between a bleed over power level in an adjacent channel and the primary channel. The time shift signal determination block produces the time shift signal to a time shift block that is operably coupled to receive one of an envelope magnitude component and a phase component from a digital signal generation block, wherein the time shift block generates a time shift in at least one of the envelope signal path and the phase signal path based upon the time shift signal.

A frequency synthesizer for use in a transceiver generates a relatively high reference frequency with fine frequency resolution and low in-band phase noise by using a digital processor to generate a digital reference signal at a finely-tuned reference frequency. A Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) converts the digital reference signal to an analog reference signal, and a low pass filter filters the analog reference signal to produce a filtered analog reference signal. The frequency synthesizer further includes a phase locked loop for up-converting the filtered analog reference signal from an IF signal to an RF signal.

A method and apparatus for trimming of a local oscillation within a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) includes processing that begins when an RFIC receives a radio frequency (RF) signal having a known frequency. The processing then continues when the RFIC mixes the RF signal with a receiver local oscillation to produce a low intermediate frequency (IF) signal, which may have a carrier frequency of zero (i.e., a baseband signal) or up to a few mega Hertz). The processing then continues when the RFIC demodulates the low IF signal to produce demodulated data. The processing then continues as the RFIC determines a DC offset from the demodulated data, where the DC offset is reflective of the difference between the known frequency and the frequency of the receiver local oscillation. The processing then continues as the RFIC adjusts the receiver local oscillation to reduce the DC offset when the DC offset compares unfavorably with an allowable offset threshold.

The present invention provides an efficient method for near-unity sampling rate alteration in high performance applications, such as CD to DAT conversion. Specifically, the input digital signal is first interpolated by a factor of eight and lowpass filtered to form an intermediate signal. A clamped cubic spline interpolator (CCSI) algorithm is then employed to accurately interpolate the intermediate signal to points in-between adjacent samples of the intermediate signal as required by the 48 kHz output sampling rate. The CCSI is highly accurate due to highly accurate derivative estimates arrived at by repeated Richardson extrapolation. In the example CD to DAT converter covered in detail, fourth order Richardson extrapolation is employed. It is shown by this example that the proposed method yields the desired performance, is computationally efficient and requires little storage.
