摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a transmitter for wireless communication. The transmitter includes a wideband tunable modulator, a number of power amplifiers with a particular power amplifier associated with a particular frequency range, and a wideband power amplifier (PA) driver. The PA driver is configured to receive an output signal from the wideband tunable modulator, amplify the output signal, and send the amplified output signal to at least one of the power amplifiers.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a synthesizer. The synthesizer includes one or more tunable oscillators, a frequency-dividing circuit coupled to the tunable oscillators, and a multiplexer coupled to the frequency-dividing circuit. The frequency-dividing circuit includes a number of frequency dividers, and is configured to generate a number of frequency-dividing outputs. At least one frequency-dividing output has a different frequency division factor. The multiplexer is configured to select a frequency-dividing output

One embodiment of the present invention provides a receiver for wireless communication. The receiver includes a demodulator and at least one filtering mechanism coupled to the demodulator, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the filtering mechanism. The filtering mechanism can be configured to function as a low-pass filter (LPF) or a band-pass filter (BPF), thereby enabling the receiver to function as a direct-conversion receiver or a low-intermediate frequency (low-IF) receiver.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for controlling at least one RF front-end component. During operation, the system receives, at a programmable logic chip from a baseband chip, a command; identifies the RF front-end component based on an address indicated by the command; and sends a control signal included in the command to the identified RF front-end component via the second interface. The programmable logic chip is coupled to the baseband chip via a first interface, and is coupled to the at least one RF front-end component via a second interface.
