A system and method for amplifier gain measurement and compensation. A method for compensating a signal gain of an amplifier circuit includes determining a desired gain for the amplifier circuit, determining an operating temperature of the amplifier circuit, adjusting a set of signal gains based on the operating temperature to produce a set of adjusted signal gains, determining a desired gain setting based on the desired gain and the set of signal gains, and providing the desired gain setting to the amplifier circuit.

A radio receiver 2000 with a sampling mixer 1100 for creating a discrete-time sample stream by directly sampling an RF current with history and rotating capacitors 1111 and 1112, wherein the accumulated charge on the rotating capacitors is read-out to produce a sample. The mixer provides immunity to noise glitches by predicting the occurrence of the glitch (or detecting a significant difference between observed and predicted samples) and creating corrected samples for the corrupted samples. These corrected samples can be created with special circuitry 1933 (digital) or in the mixer 1100 (analog).

Methods and apparatus to provide an auxiliary receive path to support transmitter functions are disclosed. An example transceiver includes an antenna and a duplexer coupled to the antenna. A transmitter is coupled to the duplexer to output a transmit signal at a transmit frequency. A receiver is coupled to the duplexer to receive a received signal at a receiver frequency. A signal processor is coupled to the transmitter and receiver. An auxiliary receiver is communicatively coupled to the signal processor to receive the transmit signal output from the transmitter and send an auxiliary receiver signal to the signal processor. The signal processor adjusts the transmit signal based on the auxiliary receiver signal.

The present invention provides an offset balancer for use with a differential mixer employing a wireless reception and an offset quantifier configured to indicate an existing DC offset of the mixer corresponding to an existing second-order intercept point applicable to the wireless reception. In one embodiment, the offset balancer includes an offset adjuster coupled to the offset quantifier and configured to provide an offset adjustment to the existing DC offset based on increasing the existing second-order intercept point.

System and method for elimination of close-in interferers through feedback. A preferred embodiment comprises an interferer predictor (for example, interferer predictor 840) coupled to a digital output of a direct RF radio receiver (for example, radio receiver 800). The interferer predictor predicts the presence of interferers and feeds the information back to a sampling unit (for example, sampling unit 805) through a feedback circuit (for example, feedback unit 845) through the use of charge sharing. The interferers are then eliminated in the sampling unit. Additionally, the number and placement of zeroes in a filter in the sampling unit is increased and changed through the implementation of arbitrary-coefficient finite impulse response filters.

Disclosed are methods, circuits and systems for image reject filtering in a multi-tap direct sampling mixer (MTDSM) of an IF or RF system. Disclosed is the use of rotating capacitors among the in-phase and quadrature branches of a signal processing system. The exchange of information among the branches of the I and Q channels is used in the implementation of a complex filter. Embodiments using cascaded multiple stages of the complex filter to provide higher order complex filters are also disclosed.
