    摘要: A dual mode wireless device in which a coefficient generator (42) generates parameter values for a GSM waveform, based on transmitted sequences of digital data values from a GSM unit (34), using a multiplierless operation, and a waveform generator 44 generating the GSM waveform using the generated parameter values. The coefficient generator includes adder sections (132, 134, 136), each having corresponding adders (142, 144, 146) and multipliers (148, 150, 152), register sections (154, 156, 158), each containing parameters corresponding to a modulator (48), and transmit data registers (TXDATA[5]-TXDATA[0]) sequentially receiving the digital data values from the GSM unit. The coefficient generator generates the parameter values for the GSM waveform by multiplying each of the parameters in the register sections by a one or a negative one, responsive to the digital data values in the transmit data registers, and adding the resulting products to form corresponding coefficient generator output values.

    摘要: A method for power amplifier (PA) calibration for an envelope tracking system of a wireless device is disclosed. The method involves measuring an output power of a PA that is a part under test (PUT) at a predetermined input power. Another step includes calculating a gain equal to the output power of the PA divided by the predetermined input power. A next step involves calculating a gain correction by subtracting the calculated gain from a desired gain. Other steps include determining an expected supply voltage for the PA at the desired gain using the gain correction applied to a nominal curve of gain versus PA supply voltage, and then storing the expected supply voltage for the PA versus input power in memory.

    摘要: A transmitter includes a polar modulator that creates phase and amplitude signals which in turn drive a power amplifier. To compensate for AM to PM conversion of the amplitude signal into the amplified signal, a compensation signal is generated from the amplitude signal and combined with the phase signal such that when amplified, the compensation signal cancels the AM to PM conversion. The compensation signal may have an offset term, a linear term, a quadratic term, and a cubic term. A second embodiment comprises a technique by which AM to AM conversion may concurrently be addressed using a second compensation signal.

    摘要: A system and method for detecting and correcting over-current and/or over-voltage conditions in power amplifier circuitry in a transmit chain of a mobile terminal are provided. In general, over-current detection and correction circuitry combines a current detection signal indicative of a current provided to or drained by the power amplifier circuitry during ramp-up for a transmit burst and a substantially inverse current ramping profile to provide a first constant value. The first constant value is compared to a current threshold or limit value to determine whether an over-current condition exists. If an over-current condition exists, the over-current detection and correction circuitry operates to reduce the output power of the power amplifier circuitry during ramp-up for the transmit burst to correct for the over-current condition. In a similar manner, over-voltage detection circuitry operates to detect and correct over-voltage conditions during ramp-up for the transmit burst.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for switching from one phase-locked loop feedback source to another in a radio frequency (RF) transmitter. The RF transmitter includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) that provides a phase-modulated RF input signal and power amplifier circuitry that amplifies the RF input signal to provide an RF output signal. The PLL includes switching circuitry that couples a feedback path of the PLL to an output of the PLL for open loop operation and couples the feedback path of the PLL to an output of the power amplifier circuitry for closed loop operation. Prior to switching the feedback path from the output of the PLL to the output of the power amplifier circuitry, time alignment circuitry operates to time-align feedback signals from the outputs of the PLL and the power amplifier circuitry such that switching from open loop operation to closed loop operation causes minimal phase disturbance.

    摘要: A system providing a phase or frequency modulated signal is provided. In general, the system includes a phase locked loop (PLL) having a fractional-N divider in a reference path of the PLL operating to divide a reference frequency based on a pre-distorted modulation signal. Pre-distortion circuitry operates to provide the pre-distorted modulation signal by pre-distorting a modulation signal such that a convolution, or cascade, of the pre-distortion and a transfer function of the PLL results in a substantially flat frequency response for a range of modulation rates greater than a bandwidth of the PLL.

    摘要: A fractional-N offset phase locked loop (FN-OPLL) is provided. The FN-OPLL includes a fractional divider, a phase detector, a loop filter, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and feedback circuitry. Combiner circuitry combines an initial fractional divide value and a modulation signal to provide a combined fractional divide value. Based on the combined fractional divide value, the fractional-N divider divides a reference frequency and provides a divided reference frequency to the phase detector. The phase detector compares a phase of the divided reference frequency to a phase of a feedback signal to provide a comparison signal. The comparison signal is filtered by the loop filter to provide a control signal to the VCO, where the control signal controls a frequency of an output signal of the VCO. The output signal is processed by the feedback circuitry to provide the feedback signal to the phase detector.
