    Abstract: A low-noise amplification apparatus and method in a receiver in a wireless communication system are provided, in which a main amplifier amplifies a received signal, a sub-amplifier amplifies a third-order harmonic component more strongly than a signal component in the received signal and cancels the third-order harmonic component by combining the amplified signal with the signal received from the main amplifier. A noise eliminator amplifies noise included in the received signal and eliminates the noise by combining the amplified noise with the signal received from the main amplifier or the signal received from the sub-amplifier.

    Abstract: A frequency synthesizing apparatus and method having an injection-locked quadrature VCO in an RF transceiver is provided. In the frequency synthesizer, an I signal following a frequency of a high frequency signal that is input using the injection-locked quadrature VCO and a Q signal thereof are simultaneously generated to have an appropriate driving power. Accordingly, the I signal and the Q signal thereof that are generated in the injection-locked quadrature VCO may be utilized as a local signal for frequency up/down-conversion, without being buffered. An output of an SSB mixer may be directly input into the injection-locked quadrature VCO. Also, high frequency signals that are generated in another circuit such as the SSB mixer, a PLL, or a VCO may be selected to be input into the injection-locked quadrature VCO by a selector.

In the system, a mode controller generates a control signal for each of an automatic band selection mode, an automatic gain tuning mode, and a phase-locking mode, from a frequency comparison result between a reference clock signal and a divided clock signal which is generated by dividing a frequency of an oscillation signal, and thereby controls the VCO, so that the VCO may generate the oscillation signal which is automatically phase-locked in a target frequency with an optimal state.

    Abstract: A fast mode switching frequency synthesizing apparatus and method for operating in low power consumption. In the frequency synthesizer, according to a mode control signal, an SSB mixer selectively generates and outputs a signal having a frequency which is identical to an input signal RF or outputs a signal having a frequency which is a synthesized frequency of the input signals RF and LO. Frequency synthesized signals having a frequency which is a sum of frequencies of the input signals RF and LO, or a difference of frequencies therebetween, may be generated by changing wiring of a path switch according to a phase control signal.
