    Abstract: Determination of a received signal strength indication in a direct conversion receiver begins by determining, at a given time, a 1st value to be the larger of the in-phase component of the received signal and the quadrature component of the received signal. The direct conversion receiver then determines a 2nd value at the given time to be the smaller of the in-phase component of the received signal and the quadrature component of the received signal. As such, at a given time, the 1st and 2nd values correspond to the greater and lesser of the in-phase component and quadrature component, respectively. Having obtained these values, the direct conversion receiver then determines the received signal strength indication based on the 1st value, the 2nd value and an offset value. The offset value provides a scaling of the RSSI value based on the range of the RSSI values.

    Abstract: A programmable multi-stage amplifier includes a 1st programmable amplifier, a 2nd programmable amplifier, and a control module. The 1st and 2nd programmable amplifiers are coupled in series to amplify an input signal. Each of the 1st and 2nd programmable amplifiers is operably coupled to receive independent gain control signals from the control module. The control module generates the gain control signals by determining the overall gain desired for the programmable multi-stage amplifier and a corresponding gain for each of the 1st and 2nd programmable amplifiers. The factors in which the control module makes this determination are based on an optimization of at least one of the power level of the programmable multi-stage amplifier, the noise factor for the programmable multi-stage amplifier, and/or linearity of the programmable multi-stage amplifier.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for direct tuning of a component embedded within an integrated circuit includes processing that begins by providing a plurality of frequency dependent control input signals to an input of the integrated circuit. The processing continues for each of the plurality of frequency dependent control input signals by incrementally adjusting the power level of each frequency dependent controlled input signal until the signal strength of an output of the integrated circuit is at a desired signal strength level. The corresponding power level is recorded to produce an adjusted power level for the frequency dependent control input signal. The adjusted power level of each of the plurality of frequency dependent control input signals is plotted to produce a signal strength to frequency relationship. The processing continues by comparing the signal strength to frequency relationship with a desired signal strength to frequency relationship. The process then continues by tuning the component such that the signal strength to frequency relationship more closely resembles the desired signal strength to frequency relationship when the comparison was unfavorable.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for frequency shift-keying (FSK) demodulation includes processing that begins by generating a charge signal, a data acquisition signal, and a reset signal from an I component and a Q component of an FSK modulated signal. The processing continues by generating a delta frequency signal based on the charge signal, the data acquisition signal, and the reset signal. The delta frequency signal is representative of the frequency difference used within the FSK modulation to indicate a logic 1 and a logic 0. The processing then continues by demodulating the delta frequency signal to recapture a stream of data.
