摘要:
The described apparatus and methods may include a receiver configured to receive a control signal, and a controller configured to regulate power consumption of the receiver during intervals of less than one radio frame based on the control signals. The controller may also be configured to regulate power consumption of a transmitter during intervals of less than one radio frame based on the control signal.

A direct downconversion receiver architecture having a DC loop to remove DC offset from the signal components, a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) to provide a range of gains, an automatic gain control (AGC) loop to provide gain control for the DVGA and RF/analog circuitry, and a serial bus interface (SBI) unit to provide controls for the RF/analog circuitry via a serial bus. The DVGA may be advantageously designed and located as described herein. The operating mode of the VGA loop may be selected based on the operating mode of the DC loop, since these two loops interact with one another. The duration of time the DC loop is operated in an acquisition mode may be selected to be inversely proportional to the DC loop bandwidth in the acquisition mode. The controls for some or all of the RF/analog circuitry may be provided via the serial bus.

A wireless communication device configured for receiving a multiple carrier signal is described. The wireless communication device includes a single-chip signal splitting carrier aggregation receiver architecture. The single-chip signal splitting carrier aggregation receiver architecture includes a primary antenna, a secondary antenna and a transceiver chip. The single-chip signal splitting carrier aggregation receiver architecture reuses a simultaneous hybrid dual receiver path.

A method for interference reduction is described. A sampling frequency is selected for a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) so that images within a DAC output signal do not interfere with one or more receivers. A sample rate is adjusted of an input signal that is provided to the DAC to match the sampling frequency for the DAC.

An apparatus for implementing phase rotation at baseband frequency for transmit diversity may include a primary transmit signal path and a diversity transmit signal path. Both the primary transmit signal path and the diversity transmit signal path may receive a primary transmit signal. A signal selector within the diversity transmit signal path may perform phase rotation with respect to the primary transmit signal while the primary transmit signal is at a baseband frequency, thereby producing a diversity transmit signal.

Techniques for using a narrow filter located before a power amplifier to reduce interference in an adjacent frequency band are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus (e.g., a wireless device) includes the narrow filter and the power amplifier. The narrow filter is for a first frequency band (e.g., Band 40) and has a first bandwidth that is more narrow than the first frequency band. The narrow filter receives and filters an input radio frequency (RF) signal and provides a filtered RF signal. The power amplifier receives and amplifies the filtered RF signal and provides an amplified RF signal. The apparatus may further include a full filter for the first frequency band and located after the power amplifier. The full filter receives and filters the amplified RF signal and provides an output RF signal when it is selected for use.

An integrated circuit configured for producing a predetermined output in a sequential circuit during power on is disclosed. The integrated circuit includes one or more capacitors coupled to one or more internal nodes. The one or more capacitors charge the internal nodes if a voltage at the power supply node ramps up to a set voltage at or faster than a period of time. The integrated circuit also includes a first transistor coupled to the power supply node. The first transistor produces leakage current that charges one or more internal nodes when the voltage on the power supply node ramps up to the set voltage no faster than the period of time. The integrated circuit also includes an output node. A logical value on the output node is based on a logical value on the charged internal nodes when an input signal to the sequential circuit is not active and the voltage on the power supply node is at the set voltage.
