摘要:
An example of a radio frequency (RF) transmitter system for communication may include a transmit pre-distortion module configured to provide a second transmit calibration signal during a transmit calibration mode based on a first transmit calibration signal and one or more transmit calibration adjustment signals. The one or more transmit calibration adjustment signals may include an offset parameter associated with DC offset and an imbalance parameter associated with at least one of gain and phase imbalances. The system may include a transmit channel frequency converter coupled to the transmit pre-distortion module. The transmit channel frequency converter may be configured to provide a fourth transmit calibration signal during the transmit calibration mode based on a third transmit calibration signal and a transmit reference signal.

A multi-channel filtering system for use with a transceiver includes a front-end multi-pole, multi-throw switch, a back-end multi-pole, multi-throw switch, and a plurality of filters. The front-end switch includes a receive pole, a transmit pole, and a plurality of switch throws. The back-end switch also includes a receive pole, a transmit pole, and a plurality of switch throws. Each of the plurality of filters has first and second ports, each first port coupled to one of the switch throws of the front-end switch, and each second port coupled to one of the switch throws of the back-end switch. Using this configuration, filters of differing bandwidths can be switched in during signal reception and/or transmission, thereby tailoring the communication rate to the particular conditions.

A communication system includes a front-end multi-throw switch, a back-end multi-throw switch, multiple filters and a switch controller. The front-end multi-throw switch includes front-end throws and a front-end pole. The front-end pole is coupled to a receive channel or a transmit channel. The front-end pole is switchably coupled to one of the front-end throws. The back-end multi-throw switch includes back-end throws and a back-end pole. Each of the back-end throws is associated with a corresponding one of the front-end throws. The back-end pole is coupled to the receive channel or the transmit channel. The back-end pole is switchably coupled to one of the back-end throws. The one of the back-end throws corresponds to the one of the front-end throws. The filters are interposed between the front-end multi-throw switch and the back-end multi-throw switch. Each of the filters has a first port coupled to one of the front-end throws and a second port coupled to one of the back-end throws. A first one of the filters includes a filter of a first bandwidth. A second one of the filters includes a filter of a second bandwidth. The first bandwidth is different from the second bandwidth. The switch controller is coupled to the front-end multi-throw switch and the back-end multi-throw switch. The switch controller is configured to synchronously switch the front-end pole to one of the front-end throws and the back-end pole to a corresponding one of the back-end throws.
