    摘要: A direct conversion receiver system is provided in which a first input signal at a first frequency is applied to a first input port of a multiplier, a second input signal at a second frequency equal to about {fraction (1/n)} times the first frequency, wherein n is an integer, is applied to a second input port of the multiplier. A first filter coupled to the first input port is configured to substantially filter out any leakage at the second frequency which may be present. A second filter coupled to the second input port is configured to substantially filter out any leakage at the first frequency which may be present. The multiplier is configured to produce a signal at an output port thereof which is derived from the product of the first and second signals. In one embodiment, the output is representative of the product of the filtered first signal and a multiplication factor which switches at n times the second frequency. The output of the multiplier is coupled to a third filter. The output signal has a baseband component and another component. The third filter is configured to substantially filter out the other component and substantially maintain the baseband component in the output signal. In one implementation example, the multiplier is a mixer initializing half-frequency injection, such that the LO frequency is about ½ the RF frequency.

    摘要: A differential oscillator based on a first Colpitts oscillator and a mirror image Colpitts oscillator that is coupled to the first Colpitts oscillator. This differential oscillator outputs differential voltage signals that are about 180 degrees out of phase. The differential oscillator may also be adapted to form a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) such that the differential voltage signals output by the VCO can be varied. A transceiver for telecommunication devices such as cellular phones may use differential oscillators to generate a carrier signal on which a voice or data signal is modulated and the same differential oscillators to assist isolation of the voice or data signal from received signals.

    摘要: A system and method for minimizing power dissipation in a battery-operated mobile unit by adaptively controlling a voltage converter to provide a variable power supply voltage to a transmitter. In the preferred embodiment, the voltage converter is coupled to receive a source voltage from a battery, and is coupled to provide operating power to the transmitter or the power amplifier. The voltage converter is also coupled to receive a control signal from a controller, which adaptively activates the voltage converter to transform the source voltage to a converted voltage, or deactivates the voltage converter so as to directly apply the source voltage to the transmitter. Power dissipation is therefore minimized when conversion functions of the voltage converter are deactivated when voltage conversion is unnecessary.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for improving the sensitivity of a radio frequency (RF) receiver at certain frequencies suffering from co-channel interference. In the preferred embodiment, when a reference frequency, FREF, generates significant harmonics for a received RF signal in a selected channel, the reference frequency is varied or offset by a small amount, &Dgr;F. The harmonics of the offset reference frequency, F′REF=FREF±&Dgr;F, are thereby shifted away from the frequency of the received RF signal, thus reducing co-channel interference. The offset amount &Dgr;F is chosen such that the same injection frequency synthesized from FREF can still be synthesized from FREF±&Dgr;F by shifting N by an integer amount, preferably to N+1 or N−1. However, the invention encompasses shifting N by other integer amounts.

    摘要: A system for amplifying a transmitted signal is provided. The system includes a receiver that receives the transmitted signal and generates a conducted signal from the transmitted signal. A non-linear oscillator, such as a synchronous oscillator that is operating in a borderline stable condition, is connected to the receiver. The non-linear oscillator receives the transmitted signal from the receiver and amplifies the transmitted signal without modifying the frequency of the transmitted signal, or its relative phase. The amplification by a non-linear oscillator causes the signal to be amplified relative to the noise, thus improving the signal-to-noise ratio.

    摘要: A DC voltage power supply for a time division multiple access (TDMA) radio system is provided. The DC voltage power supply apparatus includes an AC signal source, a switching transistor, a controlling signal source, a voltage converter circuit, and a capacitor. The AC signal source provides an AC signal to the DC voltage power supply. The switching transistor is coupled to the clock for switching on and off the clock signal. The controlling signal source is coupled to the switching transistor for turning the switching transistor off during a transmission or reception period and for turning the switching transistor on during an idle period. The voltage converter circuit is coupled to the switching transistor and generates a DC output voltage from the AC signal. Finally, the capacitor is coupled to the voltage converter such that the capacitor is charged by the DC output voltage when the switching transistor is turned on and the capacitor holds the DC output voltage by discharging when the switch is turned off.
