    摘要: Known is a zero intermediate frequency receiver or zero-IF receiver in which DC-offset correction is done in the I- and Q-paths, after mixing down of the received RF-signal or of an IF-signal. Such a DC-offset correction is not sufficient for high gain I- and Q-paths, particularly not in pagers for receiving long messages. Furthermore, no optimal power saving is achieved if such a receiver alternately operates in receive mode and sleep mode. A zero intermediate frequency receiver is proposed in which DC-offset correction is distributed over the high gain I- and Q-path. Preferably, blocking means are provided between DC-offset correction circuits and low pass filters in the I- and Q-path to prevent that an output signal of an upstream DC-offset correction circuit in the path excites a downstream low pass filter in the path during DC-offset correction. Herewith, considerable power savings are achieved.

    摘要: The invention relates to an antenna which is coupled to an RF amplifier. Environmental conditions change the impedance of the antenna, which reduces output power, efficiency and linearity. A circuit is provided which is designed to detect the impedance of the antenna. With the measured impedance, impedance matching can be accomplished. The circuit for detecting the impedance detects the signal travelling from the RF amplifier to the antenna, and measures the peak voltage and the peak current of this signal. Furthermore, the phase difference between the voltage and the current is measured. The advantage of the circuit is its compactness allowing for an easy integration on a chip. Furthermore, an impedance matching circuit is suggested which makes use of the above circuit for detecting the impedance.

    摘要: A digital receiver has a local oscillator that provides a local oscillator signal, a frequency offset detector that provides a frequency offset signal that is representative of a difference between the local oscillator signal and a desired tuning frequency of the digital receiver, and a frequency controller that controls the frequency of the local oscillator on the basis of a stored control value. The frequency controller separately derives a short term drift compensation signal and a long term drift compensation signal from the frequency offset signal, at a first interval updates the stored control value on the basis of the derived short term drift compensation signal, and at a second interval updates the stored control value on the basis of the long term drift compensation signal. The first interval is substantially shorter than the second interval.
