Certain embodiments of the invention may be found in a method and system for single sideband mixing receiver architecture for improving signal quality in an RF communication system. An embodiment of the invention may mix a first input signal with a first local oscillator signal, via a first mixer, to generate a first mixed output signal. It may also mix a second input signal with a second local oscillator signal, via a second mixer, to generate a second mixed output signal. It may then generate a single sideband signal by adding the first mixed output signal and the second mixed output signal. The removal of one of two sidebands may reduce noise at the desired signal, since the removed sideband may have been at the same frequency as the desired signal.

A method to reduce transmitted output power and the battery consumption is provided. This involves first determining the required output level. The amplitude of the input signal provided to a PA driver may be based on the required output power level. This amplitude may be set by a PGA. A number of cascode bias signals are also provided to the PA driver. These cascode bias signals are based on the required output power level as well. Reducing the cascode bias signals by enabling/disabling circuits within the PA driver allows power consumption of the wireless device to be reduced.

A low power supply band-gap current reference includes a 1st P-N junction device, a 2nd and P-N junction device, a 1st current source, a 2nd current source, a 1st resistor, a 2nd resistor, a 3rd resistor, an operational amplifier, and a current mirror. The 1st and 2nd P-N junction devices are operably coupled to the 1st and 2nd current sources, respectively. The 2nd P-N junction device is a larger device than the 1st P-N junction device. The 2nd resistor is operably coupled in parallel with the 1st P-N junction device and the 2nd resistor is coupled in series with the 2nd P-N junction device. The 3rd resistor is coupled in parallel with the series combination of the 2nd resistor and 2nd P-N junction device. The operational amplifier is coupled to control the 1st and 2nd current sources based on the voltage imposed across the 1st and 2nd resistors. The current mirror is operably coupled to mirror the current of the 1st and/or 2nd current source to provide a band-gap reference current.

In an RF communication system, aspects of constant or proportional to absolute temperature biasing for minimizing transmitter output power variation may comprise configuring at least one current source to provide a temperature dependent current, where the current may be constant with temperature or vary proportionally to absolute temperature. A control voltage that may be generated by an operational amplifier may be fed back to control the current source. An input reference voltage may also be generated for the operational amplifier by utilizing PN junction characteristics of at least one bipolar junction transistor. Resistance may be adjusted to allow operation of the current source at a plurality of different supply voltages, including the different supply voltages that may be less than 1.2 volts, for example. Additionally, adjusting the resistance may also allow the current to be constant with temperature or vary with temperature.

A bus line is divided into at least first and second bus segments that are coupled together via a precharge buffer, each segment seeing less effective RC than if segmentation were not present. The precharge buffer provides first and second output buffer lines (or segments) that are monitored and cross-coupled through the buffer such that each line is pulled-up or pulled-down substantially simultaneously to keep equivalent states in each. Feedback provided by the cross-coupling further hastens the process of bus pull down. Still further acceleration of the pulldown process can result by sensing bus pulldown at trip point that is higher than a conventional logic level trip point. Segmenting the bus and coupling the segments with a precharge buffer results in less equivalent RC being presented to each bus segment. Thus, effective shunt capacitance is reduced, allowing use of downsized transistors coupled to the output buffer lines to pull down the bus segments. This saves integrated circuit chip area, reduces pulldown surge current and ground bounce. Further, the decreased load capacitance achieved by using smaller pulldown load devices reduces capacitive bus loading, and thus contributes to a more rapid change of bus state. Alternatively, for a given pulldown current, the present invention permits a segmented bus to be pulled down more rapidly than a conventional non-segmented bus configuration.

The present invention provides a transmitter architecture operable to cancel non-data-related direct current (DC) components therein. One method to cancel transmitter non-data-related DC offsets includes generating a baseband digital null signal. Then the digital null signal is converted to a pair of differential analog voltage null signals. The pair of differential analog voltage null signals may be converted to a pair of differential analog current null signals. The pair of differential analog current null signals is provided to a pair of matched impedances to generate a pair of voltage signals across the pair of matched impedances. A voltage offset results from comparing the pair of voltages generated across the pair of matched impedances. Then a current offset is determined based on the voltage offset.
