    摘要: Embodiments provide improved systems and methods of gain control and calibration for wireless transmitters. In particular, embodiments allow linear gain control over the entire transmitter gain control range, independent of temperature/process variations. Embodiments require very low power consumption compared to existing approaches. Embodiments may also be used for gain control calibration during production time, thereby substantially reducing production calibration time and cost.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for detecting forward power sent to an antenna and reflected power reflected back from the antenna. Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for measuring forward and reflected power and controlling the amount of power supplied to the antenna responsive to these measurements. Embodiments of the present invention enable the power sent to the antenna to be dynamically altered when antenna impendence changes (e.g., when the antenna gets too close to another object).

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver includes a transmitter enabling efficient preamplification gain control. The RF transceiver comprises a receiver and a power amplifier (PA) for amplifying a transmit signal of the transmitter. The transmitter is configured to provide pre-PA gain control for preamplifying the transmit signal before amplification by the PA, wherein substantially all of the pre-PA gain control is provided when the transmit signal is at a transmit frequency of the transmitter. In one embodiment, the transmitter includes a PA driver comprising in combination: a transconductance amplifier, a current steering block, and an output transformer. Each of the transconductance amplifier, current steering block, and output transformer is configured to contribute a respective variable gain control to the pre-PA gain control provided by the PA driver.

    摘要: A transmitter adjusts a transmitted power level by modifying a control input of a variable gain amplifier. A power amplifier control system includes an envelope extractor, an error extractor, and a feed-forward multiplier. The envelope extractor receives data signal inputs and computes the envelope of the combined signal. The error extractor generates an error signal as a function of the combined signal and the output power generated by the power amplifier. The feed-forward multiplier generates a modified error signal that is responsive to a function of the gain in a feedback path. A corresponding method for controlling a power level is also disclosed. In some embodiments, a transmit chain with a power control loop is used to adjust the transmit signal power applied at an input of a variable gain amplifier. A corresponding method for adjusting the transmit signal power level is also included.

    摘要: A closed power control feedback loop system allows a single portable transceiver architecture to be used for systems in which a transmit signal including both a phase modulated (PM) component and an amplitude modulated (AM) component are supplied to a power amplifier and in systems in which the transmit signal has only a PM component supplied to a power amplifier. By injecting the inverse of the AM portion of the desired transmit signal into the closed power control feedback loop, the feedback loop will not cancel the AM portion of the signal, thus allowing a system where both a PM component and an AM component of the transmit signal are present at the output of the power amplifier to function using a closed power control feedback loop.

    摘要: A system for controlling a power amplifier using a dual feedback translation loop uses the output of the translation loop during a first time period where a power amplifier has insufficient power to lock the loop and uses the output of the power amplifier to lock the translation loop only after the power amplifier provides sufficient power. By using a first feedback loop taken from the output of the translation loop and a second feedback loop taken from the output of the power amplifier, the translation loop can lock to the output of the translation loop until the power output of the power amplifier is sufficient to lock the translation loop. A pair of phase detectors and corresponding charge pumps associated with each of the feedback loops provides a smooth switching function while transitioning from the first loop to the second loop.
