    Abstract: Techniques for detecting jammer signals in a received signal are described. In one aspect, high-speed current mirror resistive compensation circuits and output impedance boosting circuits are utilized to increase amplifier bandwidth in an improved wideband amplifier circuit. In another aspect, a dual transistor configuration including common source topology, averaging capacitors and a comparator circuit is utilized to improve the sensing of signal peaks in a peak detector block, which can be used together with the wideband amplifier circuit and a digital jammer detection circuit to detect jammer signals. The digital jammer detection circuit aids in the determination of the presence of jammer signals within the received signal, the determination of which may be variable due to programmability of the digital jammer detection circuit as described.

    Abstract: The presently invention is directed to ways to measure distortion effects while allowing for the possibility of significant reduction in test cost. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method for amplifier distortion measurement including comparing a first amplitude response of an output signal from a power amplifier to a second amplitude response of a reference input signal to determine a set of Amplitude-to-Amplitude (“AM-AM”) distortion values. Additionally, the method for amplifier distortion measurement includes equalizing the first amplitude response of the output signal to match the second amplitude response of the reference input signal based on the set of AM-AM distortion values and creating a difference signal based on a comparison of the equalized output signal to the reference input signal. Furthermore, the method for amplifier distortion measurement includes calculating a set of Amplitude-to-Phase (“AM-PM”) distortion values based on a third amplitude response of the difference signal.
