    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) transceiver front-end includes an antenna, an RF receiver section, an RF transmitter section, a balancing circuit, and a multiple node isolation and coupling circuit. The multiple node isolation and coupling circuit is coupled to the antenna, the RF receiver section, the RF transmitter section, and the balancing circuit. The multiple node isolation and coupling circuit provides an inbound RF signal from the antenna to the RF receiver section and provides an outbound RF signal from the RF transmitter section to the antenna, wherein, by providing an isolating signal to the balancing circuit, the multiple node isolation and coupling circuit substantially isolates the outbound RF signal from the inbound RF signal.

    摘要: A radio front end includes a power amplifier, a tone injection module, a duplexer, a balancing network, and a processing module. The tone injection module is operable, in a first mode, to produce a tone having a carrier frequency that is substantially similar to a carrier frequency of an inbound wireless signal. The duplexer is operable, in the first mode, to provide electrical isolation between the outbound wireless signal and a combination signal of the tone and inbound wireless signal and is operable, in a second mode, to provide electrical isolation between the outbound wireless signal and the inbound wireless signal. The processing module is operable to determine an amplitude of a tone component of the combination signal; correlate the amplitude of the tone component to an inbound frequency band isolation; and adjust baseband processing of a down converted representation of the combination signal based on the inbound frequency band isolation.

    摘要: A radio front end includes a power amplifier, a duplexer, a detection module, a processing module, and a tunable balancing network. The duplexer is operable to provide electrical isolation between the outbound wireless signal and an inbound wireless signal. The detection module is operable to detect non-linear function of the power amplifier to produce a detected non-linearity and to detect transmit leakage of the duplexer to produce detected transmit leakage. The processing module is operable to generate a coarse tuning signal based on the detected non-linearity and to generate a fine tuning signal based on the detected transmit leakage. The tunable balancing network is operably coupled to the duplexer and operable to establish an impedance based on the coarse and fine tuning signals.

    摘要: Embodiments of a four-port isolation module are presented herein. In an embodiment, the isolation module includes a step-up autotransformer comprising a first and second winding that are electrically coupled in series at a center node. The first port of the isolation module is configured to couple an antenna to a first end node of the series coupled windings. The second port of the isolation module is configured to couple a balancing network to a second end node of the series coupled windings. The third port is configured to couple a transmit path to the center node. The fourth port is configured to couple a differential receive path across the first end node and the second end node. The isolation module effectively isolates the third port from the fourth port to prevent strong outbound signals received at the third port from saturating an LNA coupled to the fourth port.
