Abstract: A radar system includes a transmit section to emit a transmit signal. A chip-based front-end portion of the transmit section increases a frequency of an input signal to produce an intermediate signal and amplifies signal strength of the intermediate signal to produce the transmit signal. The frequency of the input signal is in a range of 76 gigahertz (GHz) to 80 GHz. The radar system also includes a receive section to receive a reflected signal resulting from reflection of the transmit signal by an object.

Abstract: A single-chip tunable bandpass filter is provided having a bandpass filter circuit with all tuning components for the bandpass filter circuit formed on the single-chip to provide a programmed center frequency for the tunable bandpass filter. The bandpass filter circuit may include, but is not limited to, a plurality of serially coupled singe stage biquad filter circuits coupled to an input formed on the single-chip and configured to provide a bandpass filtered output signal to an output formed on the single-chip. The bandpass filtered output may be provided by an output buffer formed on the single-chip. The single-chip includes at least one tuning input to receive data for tuning stored in a data register formed on the single-chip. The data register provides control bits to the tuning components that include a programmable resistor responsive to the control bits to vary the programmable resistor to adjust programmed center frequency.

Abstract: A cellular radio architecture that includes a transceiver front-end circuit including an antenna and a switch module having a switching network that directs analog transmit signals to be transmitted to the antenna and receives receive signals from the antenna. The architecture further includes a receiver module having a separate signal channel for each of the signal paths in the multiplexer module, where each signal channel in the receiver module includes a receiver delta-sigma modulator that converts analog receive signals to a representative digital signal. The architecture also includes a transmitter module having a transmitter delta-sigma modulator for converting digital data bits to the transmit signals. The transmitter module includes a tunable bandpass filter and a power amplifier for amplifying the transmit signals before transmitting. The architecture also includes a calibration feedback and switch module that receives the amplified signals from the power amplifier.

Abstract: A cellular radio architecture that includes a receiver module having a delta-sigma modulator that includes a plurality of gm cells configured in stages, where each stage includes at least two gm cells and an LC filter circuit. The gm cells in each stage can be controlled to be active or inactive to convert, for example, the modulator from a fourth order modulator to a second order modulator to reduce power dissipation. Further, the gm cells can be controlled to optimize a dynamic range of the modulator and to redirect current from inactive cells to active cells in order to optimize power consumption.

Abstract: A cellular radio architecture that includes a receiver module having a delta-sigma modulator that converts analog signals to digital signals and a Fast-Fourier transform (FFT) circuit that converts the digital signals to frequency spectrum signals. The architecture also includes a moving average circuit that smoothes out the frequency spectrum signals by applying a moving average to the signals. The architecture further includes a differentiator circuit that differentiates the frequency spectrum signals to make the signals linear, and a minimum finding circuit that converts the differentiated frequency spectrum signals into positive values for frequencies above a notch frequency in the differentiated signals and negative values for frequencies below the notch frequency in the differentiated signals. A transition between the positive and negative values is compared to a desired notch frequency value, and if the difference is greater than a predetermined threshold, an adaptive control circuit calibrates the modulator.
