    摘要: A programmable skew clock signal generator has a frequency generator circuit (104) consistent with the invention produces an output signal Fφ0 from a reference signal Fref A frequency accumulator (132, 152) is preloaded with a preload value PK1 and receives one reference signal cycle as a clock signal, receives a constant K1 as an input thereto, with the frequency accumulator (132, 152) having a maximum count KMAX and producing an overflow output. A phase accumulator (136, 156) is preloaded with a preload value PC1 and receives one overflow cycle output from the frequency accumulator (132, 152) as a clock signal and receives a phase offset constant C1 as an input thereto. The phase accumulator (136, 156) has a maximum count CMAX and produces a phase accumulator (136, 156) output. A delay line (320) is clocked by the reference signal Fref and produces a plurality of delayed reference clock signals at a plurality of tap outputs. A tap selecting circuit (140, 144; 160, 164) receives the phase accumulator output and selects at least one of the tap outputs in response thereto to produce an output Fφ1 whose phase shift φ1 relative to F0φ is a function of PK1 and PC1.

    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: An electronic circuit (300) includes first (302) and second (304) variable impedance devices coupled together. The first (302) and second (304) variable impedance devices are designed such that each exhibits a transfer function which is substantially inverse with respect to the other about the operating point of the electronic circuit. This provides for an electronic circuit which exhibits very low distortion characteristics. Circuits such as tunable filters, voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), receivers, etc. will benefit from using an electronic circuit (300) which exhibits such low distortion characteristics.

    摘要: A multi-antenna device (200) comprising a set of antennas (210-214), a set of receivers (220-224), a multiplexer (270), a baseband filter (242), an analog-to-digital converter (244), and a de-multiplexer (272). The receivers (220-224) can be linked to the antennas (210-214) in a one-to-one manner. The multiplexer (270) can generate a composite analog signal from a set of different analog signals, one received from different ones of the antennas (210-214). 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.
