Abstract: A digital-to-time converter (DTC)-based open loop frequency synthesis and calibration circuit may be used to provide a precise clock signal. The DTC calibration circuit may include a DTC to generate a DTC clock signal based on a received input clock frequency and a received initial digital input code, a phase-lock loop (PLL) to generate a PLL clock signal based on a received PLL input, a binary phase-detector (PD) to generate a PD output based on a comparison between the DTC clock signal and the PLL clock signal, a plurality of calibration bins to generate a signed accumulated PD portion based on the PD output, and an adder to generate a calibrated DTC input code based on a combination of the signed accumulated PD portion and a subsequent digital input code, where the DTC generates a calibrated clock signal based on the calibrated DTC input code.

Abstract: A biasing scheme for a frequency multiplication circuit, and transceiver using LO signals provided by the frequency multiplication circuit are described. A frequency doubler is cascaded with a mixer to provide a mm-wave oscillator signal. The combination provides a frequency triple that of the LO frequency supplied to the frequency doubler from a PLL. A small-sized replica of the frequency doubler is used to determine biasing of transconductance devices of the frequency doubler. A voltage output of the replica is amplified and the difference between the output and a reference voltage is supplied as feedback to the control terminal of the transconductance devices to bias the transconductance devices to near threshold. The biasing is replicated at the frequency doubler to compensate for PVT variations. A PTAT current source tied to the output of the replica regulates an average output current of the frequency multiplication circuit.

Abstract: Radar circuitry can include an isolator and a mixer. The isolator can isolate a transmission signal path and a reception signal path from each other, and generate a mixing (e.g. oscillation) signal based on a transmission signal. The isolator can be coupled to the mixer such that the drive signal drives the mixer (e.g. serves as the local oscillation signal of the mixer). The mixer mixes a received signal and the drive signal to generate a converted signal (e.g. a down-converted signal). The isolator can be a hybrid transformer or electrically balanced duplexer.

Abstract: A transmit receive switch (TRSW) system is disclosed. The system has a transmission line, a transformer based matching network, a shunt switch, an amplifier and circuitry. The transmission line is connected to an antenna port. The transformer based matching network is connected to the transmission line and has a first coil and a second coil, wherein the second coil is connected to the transmission line. The amplifier can be configured as a shunt switch when inactive. The shunt switch, including the amplifier configured as the shunt switch, can be connected to the first coil of the transformer based matching network. The circuitry is configured to cause the shunt switch to be ON during an inactive mode and create a short across the first coil. Combined, the length of transmission line needed to complete the impedance transformation is reduced, thereby lowering the overall insertion loss of the transmit/receive switch.

Abstract: A receiver system includes a blocker detector circuit configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) input signal and detect an existence of a blocker therein, and further configured to output a blocker detection signal indicative of the existence of the blocker. The receiver system further includes a configurable receiver circuit configured to receive the RF input signal and the blocker detection signal, and selectively configure the configurable receiver circuit between a first mode wherein the configurable receiver circuit exhibits first linearity characteristics, and a second mode wherein the configurable receiver circuit exhibits second, different linearity characteristics based on the blocker detection signal.

In one example, an apparatus may include a plurality of Transmit (Tx) chains to transmit radar Tx signals, and a plurality of Receive (Rx) chains to process radar Rx signals. For example, the radar Rx signals may be based on the radar Tx signals. The apparatus may be implemented, for example, as part of a radar device, for example, as part of a vehicle including the radar device. In other aspects, the apparatus may include any other additional or alternative elements and/or may be implemented as part of any other device.
