A circuit and method for reducing a phase error at the output terminal (48) of a multiplier circuit (41) is provided. The phase error arises when first and second input signals having asymmetric signal paths are multiplied in the multiplier circuit (41). A second multiplier circuit (42) multiplies the in-phase and quadrature signals and produces an output signal at an output terminal (49) which contains the phase error but with the opposite polarity as the phase error produced by the first multiplier circuit (41). The signals at the output terminals (48) and (49) are summed in a summing circuit (43) to produce a third output signal in which the phase error is canceled.

An integrated center frequency selectable resonant coupling network suited for use in an integrated circuit is disclosed. The network includes an integrated coupling transformer having a secondary winding for coupling to a load and a primary winding for coupling to a source; a first integrated capacitive circuit controllably coupled across one of the primary and secondary windings and when so coupled operable to resonate with the integrated coupling transformer at a frequency in a first frequency band; and a second integrated capacitive circuit coupled across a second one of the primary and the secondary windings that is operable to resonate with the integrated coupling transformer at a frequency in a second frequency band. The method is in an IC and includes providing and coupling an input signal within alternatively a first frequency band and a second frequency band to a primary winding of an integrated coupling transformer; controlling an integrated switched capacitor network, coupled to the transformer, to provide a coupling network that is alternatively and respectively resonant at a first and second frequency within the first and second frequency band thus selectively providing an output signal at a secondary winding of the transformer; and down converting the output signal.

摘要:
A circuit and method for producing a phase shifted quadrature signal (VOUT) from an in-phase signal (VIN). The in-phase signal (VIN) is applied to the control electrode of a voltage follower (121). The voltage follower (121) has a variable output resistance which combines with a capacitor (123) to delay the input signal (VIN) in accordance with the time constant formed by the variable output resistance and the capacitor (123). The variable output resistance is controlled by adjusting the bias current of the voltage follower (121) with a control signal.
