    摘要: An adaptively tuned RF power amplifier includes at least one power amplifier stage that has one or more active elements. A tunable output network is coupled to the power amplifier stage and includes one or more adjustable reactive elements. A mismatch detector detects a tuning mismatch based, at least in part, on one or more signals present within the tunable output network, and supplies one or more mismatch signals indicative of a detected tuning mismatch. A tuning controller, responsive to the one or more mismatch signals, controls one or more of the one or more adjustable reactive elements in the tunable output network so as to control the detected mismatch.

    摘要: A sigma delta modulation device and method for filtering high frequency intermediate frequency signals. A summing amplifier receives the analog intermediate frequency signal, and provides to a surface acoustic wave filter (SAW) an analog signal which is to be converted to a digital quantity. A quantizer digitizes the signal to produce a digitized intermediate frequency signal. A digital to analog converter provides a feedback signal from the quantizer output signal, to the summing amplifier to form a sigma delta modulation device. The SAW filter provides for high stop band attenuation of signal images within the intermediate frequency signal, and produces a low noise signal with substantially no intermodulation products.

    摘要: A technique includes storing in a memory a set of samples that are distorted so that the samples indicate a distorted representation of a modulation signal. The technique includes in response to the set of samples, generating a second signal that includes a substantially less distorted representation of the modulation signal. The distortion of the samples is used to at least partially compensate for a characteristic that is otherwise imparted to the second signal by the act of generating the second signal.

    摘要: A bandgap circuit for producing a constant current having a controllable temperature coefficient. A current mirror supplies first and second substantially identical currents to first and second bipolar transistors. A first resistor is connected across the emitters of the bipolar transistors. A second resistor connects one to the bipolar emitters to a common terminal where the current source currents are recombined and supplied to a common terminal of a power supply. The band gap voltage produced at the common base connections of the bipolar transistors have a voltage temperature coefficient which is controlled by the values of the resistors. A current source is coupled to receive the bandgap voltage and produces a current having a temperature coefficient corresponding to the voltage temperature coefficient of the bandgap voltage.

    摘要: A digital to analog converter which produces a non-return to zero output voltage. Two SIN DAC converters having return to zero (RZ) output voltages connected to provide a common NRZ output signal. The SIN DAC converters receive the digital signal and a delayed version of the digital signal. The reference sine voltage applied to each SIN DAC have a respective phase shift so that the outputs from each SIN DAC are phase shifted. The combined phase shifted output signals produce an NRZ signal with a reduced susceptibility to clock signal jitter, and which contain significantly less high frequency content than the RZ output signal from a SIN DAC.

In such embodiments, a system may perform control by receiving an error value corresponding to an error of an output signal from the controllable element, and determining the control value within two iterations of a Newton (Secant) algorithm, where the control value enables generation of the output signal within a predetermined tolerance to a nominal value for the control signal.
