An integrated circuit includes a substrate, a master system on the substrate, a slave system on the substrate that is coupled to communicate with the master system, a first clock signal coupled to the master system, and a second clock signal coupled to the slave system. The master system is configured to isolate the slave system from the master system while a first test of the master system is conducted in parallel with a second test of the slave system. The master system uses the first clock signal during the first test and the slave system uses the second clock signal during the second test.

Method embodiments are provided herein for dynamically calibrating and adjusting a direct conversion receiver system. One embodiment includes applying one or more gain control signals to one or more gain elements of a receiver system, where the applying one or more gain control signals results in a gain change to the receiver system; in response to the gain change, determining whether the receiver system exhibits a DC (direct conversion) offset; and in response to a determination that the receiver system exhibits the DC offset, applying one or more DC offset correction control signals to one or more gain elements of the receiver system, where the one or more DC offset correction signals are configured to correct the DC offset.

Methods and systems are disclosed to adjust communication links within wireless networks based upon composite link quality indicators (LQIs). Packet communications are received by a network node through a communication link from a separate network node within a wireless network. The network node can also be configured to transmit packet communications from the network node through the communication link to the separate network node. The network node generates composite LQI measurements for the received packet communications, and the composite LQI measurements are based upon signal strength measurements for the received packet communications and also based upon signal quality measurements for the received packet communications. The network node then adjusts the communication link based upon the composite LQI measurements.

Methods and system for carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation are described. The method includes determining correlation values between a plurality of samples from a received signal and a plurality of reference signals corresponding to a plurality of CFO candidates. A set of correlation values which exceeds a threshold is determined and a corresponding CFO candidate for each correlation value in the set is selected. A CFO estimate based on an interpolation of selected CFO candidates is then calculated.

An integrated circuit includes a receiver portion, a transmitter portion, and a modulated phase locked loop. The receiver portion is for receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal at a receiver input of the receiver portion. The transmitter portion is for transmitting an RF signal at a transmitter output of the transmitter portion. The modulated phase locked loop (PLL) is shared between the receiver portion and the transmitter portion. The transmitter output and receiver input are coupled together in a loopback configuration during a test mode. The transmitter portion and the receiver portion are enabled concurrently while a modulated PLL signal is provided to the receiver portion from the transmitter portion via the loopback configuration.

An integrated circuit comprises a dual port modulator and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The dual port modulator has a first input for receiving a transmitter modulation signal, a first output for providing a fractional portion of a high port modulation signal, a second output for providing a integer portion of the high port modulation signal, and a third output for providing a low port modulation signal. The VCO is coupled to the dual port modulator and has a first input for receiving the fractional portion of the high port modulation signal, a second input for receiving the integer portion of the high port modulation signal, a third input for receiving a tuning signal based on the low port modulation signal, and a first output for outputting an RF signal. The dual port modulator provides a signed single bit signal for generating the fractional portion of the high port modulation signal.

A receiver system includes an automatic gain control (AGC) module configured to control a first gain control signal to a first gain element having variable gain control. The receiver system also includes a DC (direct current) offset correction block coupled to the AGC module, the DC offset correction block configured to trigger the AGC module to output a set of calibration gain control signals to the first gain element and capture a set of DC offset measurements of a first signal received at the DC offset correction block, where the first signal is passed by the first gain element. The DC offset correction block is further configured to estimate one or more DC offset components using the set of DC offset measurements, and calculate a first correction control signal corresponding to a first gain level of the first gain element using the one or more DC offset components.
