    摘要: Second-order harmonic tuning of an active device, such as a transistor used in a radio frequency (RF) power amplifier circuit, is accomplished by positioning a quarter-wavelength stub along a transmission line coupled to an output of the device, such that the output is presented with a desired impedance for the second harmonic.

    摘要: A phase lock loop includes a calibration loop for calibrating a tank circuit for capacitance variation through process variations of manufacturing an integrated circuit including the phase lock loop. A capacitance profile for setting the frequency of the phase lock loop at a process corner, such as a typical process corner is stored in driver software or a host processor. At power up, or after an idle time, a calibration is performed at two frequencies. The capacitances of operating the phase lock loop at the two frequencies are determined and stored. During a frequency change, the capacitance of operating the phase lock loop is determined from the capacitance profile and stored capacitances. In one aspect, the capacitance of the phase lock loop is presumed to change linearly with frequency and the two stored capacitances are used to determine a difference capacitance at the selected frequency by linear interpolating between the two stored capacitances. The interpolated difference capacitance is added to the capacitance in the capacitance profile at the selected frequency to generate an operating capacitance. The capacitance of a tank circuit of the phase lock loop is set to the operating capacitance.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for reducing the peak to average ratio of signals, so that the signals can be amplified more efficiently. An error signal that corresponds to crests of the input signal is generated, and subtracted from the input signal. When a crest is so long that it corresponds to more than one sample, only the maximum sample contained in the crest is used to form the error signal. Optionally, multiple stages of decresting may be implemented sequentially.

    摘要: A phase lock loop includes a quantization circuit that generators an out of phase noise cancellation signal from an error in a delta-sigma modulator and applies the noise cancellation signal to the charge pump. The quantization circuit includes a digital-to-analog differentiator. The digital-to-analog differentiator may be, for example, a single-bit first-order digital-to-analog differentiator, a single-bit second-order digital-to-analog differentiator, or a full M-bit binary-weighted digital to analog differentiator.
