    摘要: Various multi-lane ADCs are disclosed that substantially compensate for impairments present within various signals that result from various impairments, such as phase offset, amplitude offset, and/or DC offset to provide some examples, such that their respective digital output samples accurately represent their respective analog inputs. Generally, the various multi-lane ADCs determine various statistical relationships, such as various correlations to provide an example, between these various signals and various known calibration signals to quantify the phase offset, amplitude offset, and/or DC offset that may be present within the various signals. The various multi-lane ADCs adjust the various signals to substantially compensate for the phase offset, amplitude offset, and/or DC offset based upon these various statistical relationships such that their respective digital output samples accurately represent their respective analog inputs.

    摘要: A system and method for over-voltage protection of a power amplifier is provided. A power amplifier is typically employed in a transmitter to amplify signals prior to transmission via a load; the load may include an antenna or a cable. As a result of an impedance mismatch between the power amplifier and its load, excess power from the power amplifier output fails to reach the load and must be dissipated by one or more transistors in the power amplifier. In severe impedance mismatch conditions, this dissipated power may damage or destroy the transistor(s). An automatic gain control (AGC) is provided for detecting a gain difference between the power amplifier and a replica power amplifier. A gain difference may signal an over-voltage situation. The AGC may be configured to adjust the gain of the power amplifier if a gain difference exists to prevent device damage.

    摘要: Systems and methods for demodulating a plurality of contiguous channels contained within a bandlimited portion of a radio-frequency (RF) input signal are provided. In an embodiment, the bandlimited portion of the RF input signal is down-converted to baseband. After down-conversion, the bandlimited portion overlaps at baseband with a mirror image of the bandlimited portion. The plurality of contiguous channels within the down-converted signal similarly overlap at baseband and subsequently occupy a bandwidth substantially equal to half that required before down-converting. Image rejection is performed in the digital domain to recover each of the plurality of overlapping channels.
