Abstract:
The present invention relates to an exponential function generator which is realized with only CMOS element without BJT element, not limited by the physical properties of the element or a square circuit, and not complicated in its configuration, and a variable gain amplifier using the same. The exponential function generator includes a voltage-current converter, 1st to nth curve generators for mirroring the current from the voltage-current converter, outputting a current adjusted according to a predetermined ratio, and an output end for outputting the sum of the current from the 1st to nth curve generators. The exponential current generator is configured to generate the current exponentially adjusted according to the control voltage.
Abstract:
A downconverter and upconverter are provided which can obtain a sufficient image rejection ratio in a low-Intermediate Frequency (IF) scheme while reducing power consumption and can suppress Error Vector Magnitude (EVM)-related degradation in a zero-IF scheme. A complex-coefficient transversal filter rejects one side of a positive or negative frequency, and converts a Radio Frequency (RF) signal to a complex RF signal configured by real and imaginary parts. A local oscillator outputs a real local signal with a set frequency. A half-complex mixer, connected to the complex-coefficient transversal filter and the local oscillator, performs a frequency conversion process by multiplying the complex RF signal output from the complex-coefficient transversal filter and the real local signal output from the local oscillator, and outputs a complex signal of a frequency separated by the set frequency from a frequency of the RF signal.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a terrestrial DMB receiver capable of eliminating image noise and minimizing the number of external elements. In the invention, a terrestrial DMB signal is down-converted into a baseband I/Q signal and then up-converted into a predetermined intermediate frequency signal. The invention solves the problematic image noise and minimizes the number of external elements at the same time.

The present invention relates to a derivative superposition circuit for linearization. The derivative superposition circuit for linearization includes a first active element that is provided with first to third terminals and in which the magnitude and direction of current flowing the second terminal to the third terminal changes on the basis of the magnitude of a voltage applied between the first and second terminals; and a second active element that is provided with first to third terminals and has complementary characteristics with the first active element. The first terminals of the first and second active elements are connected to each other so that a predetermined operational bias voltage is maintained by first and second power supplies through a first impedance, and are connected to an input end through a second impedance. The third terminals of the first and second active elements are connected to an output end, and the second terminals of the first and second active elements are connected to the second power supply through a third impedance.
