    摘要: A dual power mode transmitter is provided to save power when the transmitter switches from normal operating mode to low power operating mode. The dual power mode transmitter achieves power savings by controlling the amount of current draw in the input stage. Alternatively, the transmitter saves power by regulating the voltage at the output node of the input stage.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for enabling a transmitter to have a substantially linear magnitude response and a substantially linear phase response. The transmitter includes first and second programmable gain amplifiers (PGAs). The first PGA is tuned to have a resonant frequency that is less than an operating frequency of the first PGA. The second PGA is tuned to have a resonant frequency that is greater than an operating frequency of the second PGA. A magnitude response at an output of the first PGA and a magnitude response at an output of the second PGA combine to provide a substantially linear magnitude response across a frequency range that includes the operating frequency of the first or second PGA. According to an embodiment, the first and second PGAs have the same operating frequency.

    摘要: A single side band transmitter having reduced DC offset includes a current source modulation module, a current mirror module, a 1st mixing module, a 2nd mixing module, a summing module, and a power amplifier. The current source module is operably coupled to modulate, in accordance with a modulation protocol (e.g., FSK) data to produce an in-phase current component and a quadrature current component. The current mirror module is operably coupled to mirror the in-phase current component to produce a mirrored in-phase current component and is also operably coupled to mirror the quadrature current component to produce a mirrored quadrature current component. The 1st mixing module is operably coupled to mix the mirrored in-phase current component with an in-phase current component of a local oscillation to produce a 1st mixed current signal. The 2nd mixing module is operably coupled to mix the mirrored quadrature current component with a quadrature component of the local oscillation to produce a 2nd mixed current signal. The summing module is operably coupled to sum the 1st and 2nd mixed current signals to produce an up converted signal. The power amplifier amplifies the up converted signal prior to transmission as a radio frequency signal.

    摘要: According to one exemplary embodiment, a method of preventing harmonics from causing distortion in a communications system includes feeding a test signal through a pre-distortion circuit in the communications system to a transmitter in the communications system. The method continues by transmitting a distorted output signal produced by the transmitter to an analyzer, analyzing the distorted output signal to identify one or more undesired harmonics, and generating and sending calibration data from the analyzer to calibrate the pre-distortion circuit, thereby preventing the one or more undesired harmonics from causing distortion in the communications system. In one embodiment, a system to prevent harmonics from causing distortion in a communications system includes a pre-distortion circuit, a transmitter, and an analyzer configured to identify one or more undesired harmonics and to generate and send calibration data to prevent the undesired harmonics from causing distortion.

    摘要: Aspects of compensating for transmitter output power may comprise sampling an on-chip transmitter circuit temperature at various time instants and determining a feedback temperature compensation value. At least one digital-to-analog converter may be adjusted by utilizing the feedback temperature compensation value, which may correspond to the sampled temperature. The digital-to-analog converter may be an I-component digital-to-analog converter and/or a Q-component digital-to-analog converter. At least a portion of the on-chip transmitter circuit may be characterized to determine power output dependence of the on-chip transmitter circuit on temperature variation of the on-chip transmitter circuit. Based on this characterization, a feedback temperature compensation value that may correspond to the sampled temperature may be used to adjust the digital-to-analog converter. The feedback temperature compensation value may be, for example, from a lookup table or an algorithm.

    摘要: A method and system for output common mode control for reducing DC offset for an IF mixer that downconverts a received signal to DC without introducing additional offset is provided. Aspects of the method may comprise averaging signals having an output common mode DC level, which are generated from an output of the mixer. This determined average may then be compared to a reference voltage. The reference voltage may be an output common mode DC level required for baseband processing. The output common mode DC level may be corrected at an input of the mixer for signals that may subsequently be generated from an output of the mixer by utilizing results from the comparison. The corrected common mode DC offset level may be fed back to an input of the mixer.
