    摘要: A power amplifier includes a carrier amplifier path and a peaking amplifier path. The carrier amplifier path includes a carrier amplifier (208), and an impedance transforming network (214). The peaking amplifier path includes a peaking amplifier (210), an impedance transforming network (216), and a phase delay quarter wave element (226). The arrangement forms an inverted Doherty combiner where as the nominal impedance at a summing node (230) increases with increased conduction from the peaking amplifier, the load impedance at the output of the carrier amplifier decreases so as to maintain the carrier amplifier at a saturation point as the input signal (232) increases, and results in a reduction of the number of phase delay elements needed over a conventional Doherty approach. In a preferred embodiment the carrier and peaking amplifiers consist of cascaded stages, and are disposed on a common integrated circuit die (304). The impedance transforming networks and phase delay element are disposed on a common substrate (306), as is an input splitter network (308).

    摘要: A receiver (300) includes input (I.sub.in), output (V.sub.out), forward path with filter (104, and 108), and feedback path with error amplifier (112) coupled into the forward path. Coupled to the feedback path is an error signal storage device (408, 508). A control circuit (320) responsive to input signal amplitude couples to the storage device (408, 508) and retrieves stored error signal information for use by the feedback path. During calibration, a forward path stage is stimulated with a plurality of signals of known amplitude to generate outputs (V.sub.out). The outputs are compared to a reference to generate error signals. Error signal values are stored in memory as a function of input signal amplitude. A plurality of error signal values are stored. During operation, stage input signals are detected and compared with the plurality of signals of known amplitude. Upon detection of a match, the error signal value associated with the signal of interest is retrieved from memory and employed during DC offset compensation.

    摘要: A Ga As FET oscillator includes an FET having gate-drain and source connections. A tuned circuit is connected to the FET gate. Bias voltage is supplied to the FET. A parallel-connected resistor and capacitor is connected to the FET source. A Schottky diode is connected across the FET gate-source junction and the parallel connected resistor and capacitor, with its anode connected to the FET gate and its cathode connected to the resistor and capacitor. The Schottky diode limits the positive voltage across the gate-source junction of the Ga As FET to prevent gate-source current flow.

The baseband filter (242) can filter the composite analog signal. The analog-to-digital converter (244) can convert the composite analog signal after being filtered by the baseband filter into a composite digital signal. The de-multiplexer (272) can generate a set of different digital signals from the composite digital signal. Each of the different digital signals can correspond to one of the different analog signals in a one-to-one manner.

    摘要: A system and method for clock data recovery for programming direct digital synthesizers is disclosed. A counter is used to calculate a coarse measurement of the clock frequency of a received digital signal, and a tap delay line is used to calculate a fine measurement of the clock frequency of the received digital signal. The coarse and fine measurements are used to calculate a value for programming a direct digital synthesizer to produce a clock signal that is an approximate replica of the clock frequency of the received digital signal.
