    摘要: Phase-locked loop methods and structures are provided for generating modulated communication signals with nonconstant envelopes. These methods and structures realize the improved communication performance of nonconstant-envelope modulations with the upconversion advantages of phase-locked loops. The structures include transmitters in which a phase-locked loop is augmented with first and second feedforward paths that substantially restore phase and amplitude information to a transmit signal that is generated by a voltage-controlled oscillator of the phase-locked loop. The first feedforward path is configured to realize a path transfer function of s/Kv wherein the voltage-controlled oscillator has a transfer function of Kv/s. The second feedforward path extracts an envelope-correction signal from the modulated intermediate-frequency signal and a variable-gain output amplifier amplifies the transmit signal with a gain that responds to the envelope-correction signal.

    摘要: A direct conversion circuit for radio frequency signals is disclosed. The circuit includes a pair of quadrature related mixers, a phase shift unit, and a local oscillator. The pair of quadrature related mixers is coupled to a radio frequency signal input port for mixing down a radio frequency input signal. The phase shift unit is in communication with at least one of the pair of mixers for phase shifting a local oscillator signal. The local oscillator produces the local oscillator signal. The local oscillator includes a non-integer frequency multiplier for multiplying the frequency of a first voltage controlled oscillator signal by a non-integer value to produce the local oscillator signal.

    摘要: A radio transceiver suitable for use in a mobile telephone is provided. The transceiver is operable in dual modes so as to be able to operate with both GSM and UMTS systems. In a preferred embodiment the transmitter section receives base band signals and up-converts them to an intermediate frequency of approximately 450 MHz. This is then mixed with local oscillator frequency of approximately 1.35 GHz, such that a difference frequency allows operation in the GSM 850/950 MHz band, and the sum frequency allows operation in the GSM 1800/1900 MHz bands. The frequency addition allows operation in the UMTS band. The receiver portion of the transceiver comprises a direct conversion receiver for down-converting the received signal without use of an intermediate frequency.
