摘要： Aspects of a method and system for signal processing are disclosed and may include using a frequency doubler to double the frequency of a reference signal utilized by a phase-frequency detector (PFD) in a fractional-N phase-locked-loop (PLL) synthesizer. Detecting and correcting a digital reference signal connected to the input of the frequency doubler. The digital reference signal may be generated by amplifying the difference between a low slew-rate reference signal and a reference voltage through a comparator. The reference voltage signal may be generated based on the detected duty-cycle of the digital reference signal. The duty-cycle of the digital reference signal may be adjusted by varying the generated reference voltage signal. The reference voltage may be generated by using difference of DC level of the digital reference signal and half rail. The reference voltage signal may be generated using a voltage digital-to-analog converter (DAC).

摘要： A single chip radio transceiver includes circuitry that enables received wideband RF signals to be down-converted to baseband frequencies and baseband signals to be up-converted to wideband RF signals prior to transmission without requiring conversion to an intermediate frequency. The circuitry includes a low noise amplifier, automatic frequency control circuitry for aligning a local oscillation frequency with the frequency of the received RF signals, signal power measuring circuitry for measuring the signal to signal and power ratio and for adjusting frontal and rear amplification stages accordingly, and finally, filtering circuitry to filter high and low frequency interfering signals including DC offset. The circuitry further includes a multi-stage mixer that produces current signal outputs from each mixing stage to a subsequent stage thereby avoiding a need for intermediate transconductance and output stages to convert between current signals and voltage signals.

摘要： A radio receiver is described that processes multiple wireless standards using a single antenna according to embodiments of the invention. The radio receiver includes a single antenna, and a low noise amplifier that is connected to the antenna, without an intervening power divider or power splitter. The output of the low noise amplifier feeds multiple wireless receivers in a parallel arrangement that are operating according to different communications standards, including for example a Bluetooth receiver, and a WLAN 802.11 receiver. Additional wireless standards and their corresponding receivers could be added as well. The input impedance of the low noise amplifier defines the impedance seen by the antenna, regardless of which operational standard is actually in use. Since the input impedance of the low noise amplifier is substantially independent of whether the Bluetooth or WLAN paths are ON or OFF, simultaneous operation can be accomplished.
