    摘要: A combination of a phase shifter, a measurement receiver, and an offset estimator enable the d.c. offset in the transmit path of a quadrature transmitter to be distinguished from the d.c. offset in the measurement receiver. The measurement receiver performs a first measurement on the transmit path output with a “normal” phase shift of 0 degrees and 90 degrees for in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, and a second measurement with a “special” phase shift for the I and Q components. In one embodiment, the “special” phase shift for the I and Q components is 180 degrees and 270 degrees, respectively.

    摘要: An entire radio transceiver can be completely integrated into one IC chip. In order to integrate the IF filters on the chip, a heterodyne architecture with a low IF is used. A single, directly modulated VCO is used for both up-conversion during transmission, and down-conversion during reception. Bond-wires are used as resonators in the oscillator tank for the VCO. A TDD scheme is used in the air interface to eliminate cross-talk or leakage. A Gaussian-shaped binary FSK modulation scheme is used to provide a number of other implementation advantages.

    摘要: Circuits and methods are disclosed for compensating for received signal distortion caused by non-linearities in the receiver circuitry. An exemplary receiver circuit includes a distortion waveform generator configured to approximate one or more non-linear response characteristics of a downconverter circuit used to downconvert the received radio frequency signal. The estimated distortion waveform thus produced is filtered, using a filter or filters substantially similar to those used for filtering an intermediate frequency signal that includes the desired signal and non-linear distortion products caused by strong interfering signals. The filtered estimated distortion waveform and the intermediate frequency are sampled, to obtain a sampled distortion signal and a sampled signal of interest. The sampled distortion signal is scaled, and subtracted from the sampled signal of interest to obtain reduced-interference signal samples. In some embodiments, the scaling factor is determined by correlating the sampled signal of interest with the sampled distortion signal.

    摘要: Circuits and methods are disclosed for reducing interference from transmitter leakage in a radio transceiver. An exemplary method for reducing interference from transmitter leakage in a radio transceiver comprises downconverting, filtering, and sampling a radio frequency signal comprising a desired signal and a transmitter leakage signal to obtain a sampled signal of interest. The method further comprises generating a sampled distortion signal estimate that estimates one or more distortion products of the transmitter leakage signal, such as a squared amplitude obtained from a square-law device or corresponding digital function. Further, the method comprises dividing the sampled distortion signal estimate and the sampled signal of interest into a plurality of frequency channels. Finally, for a selected number of frequency channels, the method comprises combining the sampled distortion signal estimate for a frequency channel with the corresponding sampled signal of interest for the same frequency channel to obtain interference-reduced signal samples for the frequency channel.

    摘要: A method and ASIC for canceling crosstalk between a first stereo channel and a second stereo channel, wherein a first signal is input to a first output amplifier for the first channel, and a second signal is input to a second output amplifier for the second channel, and an output load for each output amplifier is connected between each output amplifier and a reference amplifier. In one embodiment, the first and second signals are split prior to inputting the signals to the first and second output amplifiers, and a gain-adjusted portion of each signal is added to the other signal on the inputs of the output amplifiers. In another embodiment, the first and second input signals are again split into two paths each. While a first path of each signal is inputted to each signal's respective output amplifier, the second paths of the first and second signals are adding together. The resulting sum is adjusted by a gain function, biased by a suitable DC voltage, and input to the reference amplifier.

    摘要: A method and system for increasing the compression point of a receiver by deriving a feedback signal from mixer output signals. The feedback signal prevents the receiver from going into compression on strong out-of-band or blocking signals, while enhancing the receiver gain at the desired frequency. The desired frequency coincides with the local oscillator (LO) signal and is therefore particularly applicable for, but not limited to, homodyne receivers where selectivity can be made quite narrowband. Since the selectivity is coupled to the LO, a tunable receiver may be achieved that enables selectivity over a wide range of input frequencies.
