A low power radio transmitter includes an intermediate frequency stage, signal-to-pulse conversion module, and a power amplifier. The intermediate frequency stage up-converts the frequency of a base-band digital signal into an N-bit signal at the intermediate frequency. The signal-to-pulse conversion module converts the N-bit signal at the intermediate frequency into a pulse signal of M-bits at the radio frequency. As such, the signal-to-pulse conversion module is taking an N-bit signal (e.g., an 8-bit digital signal) and converting it into an M-bit pulse signal (e.g., a 1-bit pulse stream). Accordingly, the M-bit signal at the radio frequency is essentially a square-wave, which has a peak to average ratio of zero, is subsequently amplified by the power amplifier.

A method and apparatus for digital to analog signal conversions with reduced noise include processing that begins by receiving a digital signal and filtering the digital signal to produce a filtered digital signal. The filtering is tuned to attenuate components of the digital signal having frequencies near one-half the sampling rate frequency and to pass other components of the digital signal having frequencies away from one-half the sampling rate frequency. The filtered signals are then converted to analog signals based on a clock signal having a sampling rate frequency and a voltage reference.

An ADSL receiver (200) receives an upstream modified ADSL signal and an ISDN signal from a remote terminal (32) on a twisted-pair copper wire (18). An ADSL transmitter (100) of the remote terminal (32) transmits the ADSL signal in a frequency range above an ISDN frequency range so that the ADSL signal does not overlap the frequency range of the ISDN signal. In one embodiment, the ADSL receiver (200) includes a band pass filter (201), an analog-to-digital converter (203), a decimator (205), a fast Fourier transform (210), and a digital signal processor (212). The decimator (205) converts the ADSL signal back to base band, thus allowing an ADSL signal source to simultaneously utilize the telephone line with an ISDN signal source, without significantly reducing ADSL throughput.

A switched capacitor sample-and-hold circuit which compensates offset voltage error and switch feedthru error while having a one hundred percent duty cycle is provided. Two amplifiers are utilized. A first operational amplifier is disconnected from a second operational amplifier while being autozeroed. An input voltage is sampled onto an input capacitor. The input capacitor is disconnected from the input voltage and then coupled to the second operational amplifier which is in a unity gain configuration. After the sampled input voltage is charged onto an output load, the first operational amplifier is disconnected from the second operational amplifier and the sampling process is repeated. The second operational amplifier is also offset voltage compensated by the first operational amplifier.

A radio receiver includes a first diversity antenna structure, a second diversity antenna structure, a first RF receiver section, a second RF receiver section, a combining module, and a baseband processing module. The first diversity antenna structure provides the received inbound RF signals from one of the plurality of first antennas based on a first antenna selection signal to produce first received inbound RF signals. The second diversity antenna structure provides the received inbound RF signals from one of the plurality of second antennas based on a second antenna selection signal to produce second received inbound RF signals. The first and second RF receiver sections are operably coupled to convert the first and second received inbound RF signals into first and second inbound baseband signals, respectively. The combining module combines the first and second inbound baseband signals to produce inbound baseband signals.

An audio codec includes an input for receiving audio information. Audio processing circuitry produces a first stereo audio signal, a second stereo audio signal, and a monotone audio signal based on the audio information. A low pass filter filters the monotone audio output, wherein the low pass filter passes a bass component of the monotone audio signal substantially unattenuated and attenuates higher frequency components of the monotone audio signal. A high pass filter filters the first stereo audio output, wherein the high passes filter passes a treble component of the first stereo audio signal substantially unattenuated and attenuates lower frequency components of the first stereo audio signal. A band pass filter filters the second stereo audio output, wherein the band pass filter passes a mid band component of the second audio signal substantially unattenuated and attenuates low frequency components and high frequency components of the second stereo audio signal. A summing module produces a tone controlled audio output.

A pre-amplifier circuit, which may be used in a variety of data recovery circuits to accurately recover data transmissions, includes an input regulatory circuit, a feedback circuit, and an amplifier. The input regulatory circuit regulates the magnitude of the data signal provided to the amplifier based on feedback signals from a feedback circuit. For low level data signals, the input regulatory circuit provides a fill, or almost full, representation of the data signal to the amplifier for amplification. But, when the data signal levels increase, the input regulatory circuit attenuates, based on the feedback signals, the data signals more and more before providing them to the amplifier, such that the output of the amplifier stays within a certain range.
