The transmitter modulates an outgoing signal to produce a complex modulated signal in a first modulation mode and a constant or variable envelope modulated signal in a second modulation mode. A local oscillation generator and mixer operate to up-convert the complex modulated signal to produce a modulated RF signal in the first modulation mode and to up-convert the phase component of the constant or variable envelope modulated signal to an RF phase signal and mix the RF phase signal with the envelope component thereof to produce the modulated RF signal in the second modulation mode.

    摘要: In an envelope comparison embodiment, a delay calibrator produces a delay signal based on a comparison of a feedback signal and an envelope component of the transmitted signal. A down-converter produces the feedback signal from an outgoing modulated RF signal based on at least one local oscillation. Envelope detectors in the delay calibrator and the envelope signal path are operably coupled to a summing node that produces a delay error signal based on a temporal difference between the two envelopes. One embodiment includes phase detectors to detect and adjust the zero crossings of the feedback signal and the envelope signal path. As the delay mismatch between the envelope signal path and the phase signal path increases, the power spectrum increases in adjacent communication channels. A mask margin measurement technique measures the power level in an adjacent channel and adjusts the envelope path delay accordingly.

    摘要: An input power supply voltage level detection circuit and method are presented. The circuit includes a main detector core and a two-inverter buffer block that can include a first inverter and a second inverter. The circuit receives a voltage input signal and outputs a voltage output signal that is substantially equal to either the voltage input signal or ground, depending on whether the voltage input signal has reached a threshold voltage. The threshold voltage is defined by component characteristics of the main detector core and the two-inverter buffer block. The circuit can receive a hysteresis input signal, tied to the voltage input signal or the ground, that allows the threshold voltage to have a first threshold value when the voltage input signal increases and a second threshold value when the voltage input signal decreases. A power down input signal can also be received that allows the circuit to be powered down.
