    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: A polar transmitter includes a two-point modulation phase-locked loop (PLL) for producing an RF signal with a wide bandwidth. The PLL includes a first input for receiving a phase signal of a variable-envelope modulated signal and providing the phase signal along a first signal path to produce a first frequency modulation signal and a second input for receiving the phase signal and providing the phase signal along a second signal path to produce a second frequency modulation signal. The PLL further includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) having two modulation points, one for receiving the first frequency modulation signal and the other for receiving the second frequency modulation signal. The VCO is controlled by an aggregate of the first frequency modulation signal and the second frequency modulation signal to up-convert the phase signal from an IF to an RF to produce the RF signal with a wide bandwidth.

    摘要: A circuit and method therefor provides programmable digital delay that is produced to introduces a delay in either an envelope or a phase signal path of an RF polar transmitter in order to eliminate the delay mismatch between the two paths. For two signal paths, a faster signal may be delayed by a digital processor or a slower signal may be transmitted early so that signals in the two signal paths arrive at a specified circuit node in synchronization. Timing shift may be implemented in either the envelope signal path or the phase signal path and may be used to reduce or increase the timing of a signal path.

    摘要: A digital modulator in a radio transmitter includes circuitry for switching between Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) and Phase-Shift Keying (PSK) while maintaining spectral mask requirements. The digital modulator of the present invention includes both GMSK and PSK symbol mappers that produce PSK in-phase and quadrature symbols and GMSK symbols, respectively, to a pulse shaping block. Based on opposite phases of a modulation control signal, the symbol mappers produce either modulated data or a steam of logic zeros to the pulse shaping block. The pulse shaping block filters the received data and multiplexes the data so that each modulated data stream receives non-zero data during a guard time to avoid abrupt changes in the modulated signal that would violate the spectral mask requirements.

    摘要: An FSK modulator and applications thereof are disclosed. The FSK modulator comprises a phase-locked loop, a frequency divider module, an image rejection mixer and a summing module. The phase-locked loop is operably coupled to generate a first oscillation from a reference oscillation. The frequency divider module is operably coupled to divide the first oscillation to produce a second oscillation. The image-rejection mixer is operably coupled to mix the second oscillation with a low intermediate oscillation to produce a mixed data signal, and the summing module is operably coupled to sum the mixed data signal with the first oscillation to produce an FSK modulated signal.
