    摘要: A radio frequency receiver 30, 32, includes a first component block 12, 16, 18, 20; a second compensating component block 22, 22a-22b, 34; and control circuitry 26 operable for controlling the state (e.g., load, bias, gain) of the first component block. When the control circuitry 26 causes a change in the state of the first component block that is expected to induce a DC offset in a signal, the control circuitry 26 changes the state of the second component block to compensate for an estimate of the DC offset. Preferably, the second component block is a filter 22, 22a-22b, 34, that temporarily changes from a nominal cutoff frequency to an elevated cutoff frequency so that voltage will settle quickly and accurately at an estimated voltage, the estimated voltage being predetermined and based on the state change to the first component block. A method is also described for practicing the invention.

    摘要: An apparatus (100) and corresponding method for use by a first transceiver in saving power when communicating over a wireless communication system with a second transceiver, the first having an operating cycle including an interval in which it sends transmit power requests to the second, the transmit power requests being made based on measurements of the signal received by the first and performed in an interval of the operating cycle in which the operational parameters correspond to a power control measurement state. The method includes: when no power control measurements are being made, a step (44b) of enabling receiver tuning to adjust the receiver operational parameters to place the receiver in a less power-consuming internal state.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for automatic calibration of a signal path in receivers (e.g., radio frequency receivers) using a noise (and not a specific test signal) as a source and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) of the noise for correcting various parameters related to an inphase/quadrature (I/Q) imbalance in a frequency domain. The present invention (method and apparatus) can provide detecting and correcting an I/Q phase error, an I/Q amplitude error, an absolute corner frequency of the analog baseband filter, and a relative corner frequency of the analog baseband filters just by using the noise as a stimuli. This calibration can be used for a factory calibration or it can be used as an on-site calibration for base stations. Mobile devices can calibrate themselves independently of their location. This reduces the requirements for the test equipment in the manufacturing and maintenance stages.
