    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for calibrating voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). Multiple VCOs may be disposed on a chip with the VCOs having different frequency ranges. The VCOs may be selected and tested to determine a desired VCO to use to tune to a selected channel frequency. Each of the VCOs has multiple possible varactor configurations. The varactor configurations of the desired VCO determined to be used to tune to the selected channel frequency can be selected and tested to determine a desired varactor configuration for the desired VCO. The desired VCO with the desired varactor configuration will preferably be able to produce a full range of desired frequencies corresponding to all channel frequencies desired.

    摘要: A system is disclosed for transmitting and receiving signals. The system includes the use of a frequency plan table a system for creating the frequency plan table. The frequency plan table relates carrier frequency channels to the operation of a synthesizer and a plurality of programmable frequency dividers in a locked loop. In a transmitter, a first programmable frequency divider accepts a reference signal and produces a comparison signal. A mixer accepts the reference signal and a transmission signal and produces a loop signal. A second programmable frequency divider accepts the loop signal and produces a loop signal having a divided intermediate frequency signal. A phase detector compares the comparison signal and the loop signal having a divided intermediate frequency and produces an output that controls a variable controlled oscillator. The variable controlled oscillator produces a modulated transmission signal.

    摘要: A system for an eight-phase 45° polyphase filter with amplitude matching, where a full eight-phase 45° split may be achieved by tying together the inputs of two offset four-phase 90° phase splitters. Amplitude matching may be achieved by obtaining those inputs from an additional single four-phase 90° phase splitter. The additional phase splitter can distribute power evenly among the inputs of the two offset phase splitters so as to cancel out the occurrence of any uneven power distribution.

    摘要: A receiver front end is provided with a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a linearity on demand (LOD) circuit, and a gain calibration device. The LOD circuit provides current to the LNA depending on linearity requirements. The gain calibration device monitors the amount of current provided by the LOD circuit to the LNA and provides signals to help compensate for variations in the LNA's gain due to the variations in the current supplied to the LNA by the LOD circuit. The compensation signals may be used to adjust the gain of a variable-gain amplifier, or may comprise compensation parameters usable by a digital signal processor, to compensate for the gain variations.

    摘要: Systems for controlling the amplitude of the output signal of a controllable oscillator in a frequency synthesizer are provided. One such system provides a circuit having a controllable oscillator and an amplitude control circuit. The controllable oscillator is configured to generate an output signal having a predefined frequency and a predefined amplitude. The controllable oscillator is also configured with a plurality of operational states that are controlled by the amplitude control circuit. Each operational state of the controllable oscillator defines a particular current bias associated with a distinct amplitude of the output signal of the controllable oscillator. The amplitude control circuit receives the output signal of the controllable oscillator and determines the amplitude. When the amplitude of the output signal of the controllable oscillator is less than the predefined amplitude, the amplitude control circuit provides a control signal to the controllable oscillator. The control signal is configured to change the controllable oscillator to the operational state corresponding to the distinct amplitude that best approximates the predefined amplitude.

    摘要: The DC offset compensator compensates DC offsets resulting from interferor self mixing and interferor interaction with even-order nonlinearities. In one embodiment, the DC offset compensator resides in a mobile communication device. A radio frequency (RF) communication signal is mixed with a local oscillator signal (LO) in a direct conversion mixer. The communication signal, at certain times, will have both a communication signal of interest and interferor signals. The interferor signals induce signals in other portions of the mixer circuit, called interferor leakage signals, and the interaction between the two signals causes undesirable DC offsets in the mixer output. The DC offset compensator detects the presence of the interferor signals and provides a compensating signal to the output of the mixer such that the undesirable DC offset signals caused by the interferer self mixing and interferor interaction with even order-nonlinearities in the mixer are compensated out of the mixer output signal.
