    Abstract: A system includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to generate an output signal based on an input voltage and a multi-stage delay network to receive the output signal from the VCO. Each stage of the delay network produces a phase-shifted output signal. The system includes a multi-stage digital-to-analog converter (DAC) network, where each stage of the DAC network is associated with a corresponding stage of the delay network. Each stage of the DAC network receives the phase-shifted output signal from its corresponding stage of the delay network and generates a weighted output signal based on the received phase-shifted output signal. The DAC network combines the weighted output signal of each stage. A weighting factor for each stage of the DAC network is selected to reduce harmonic content of the combination of weighted output signals.

    Abstract: Disclosed examples include frequency divider circuits, comprising an even number 4 or more differential delay circuits coupled in a cascade ring configuration of a configurable length N, with N−K of the N delay circuits providing an inverted polarity output signal to a succeeding delay circuit in the cascade ring configuration to control an amount of overlap between phase shifted clock signals from the delay circuits.

    Abstract: A symbol modulation system applicable to a body area network is disclosed herein. The symbol modulation system includes a symbol mapper. The symbol mapper is configured to determine a time within a predetermined symbol transmission interval at which a transmission representative of the symbol will occur. The time is determined based on a value of a symbol and a value of a time-hopping sequence. The time is selected from a plurality of symbol value based time slots, and a plurality of time-hopping sequence sub-time-slots within each symbol value based time slot. The symbol mapper is configured to generate a single guard interval within the symbol transmission interval. The single guard interval is positioned to terminate the symbol transmission interval.

    Abstract: Integrated circuit transceiver circuitry (2) includes a first resonant circuit (3A) coupled to a narrowband interface (6,7A,7B,21) between a first amplifier (3,20) and an interfacing circuit (4,8,9,44), including a programmable first reactive element (C) and a second reactive element (L). Amplitude sensing circuitry (42) senses a maximum amplitude of an in-phase signal (I) or a quadrature-phase signal (Q). An on-chip first tone generation circuit (38,38A,38B,38C) generates tones for injection into the in-phase signal and the quadrature-phase signal and operates in response to frequency scanning circuitry (30) and the amplitude sensing circuitry to adjust the first reactive element (C) to calibrate the first resonant circuit to a desired resonant frequency by selectively coupling reactive sub-elements (1,2,4,8 . . . ×Cv) into the first reactive element (C).
