    摘要: A duty cycle conversion circuit portion comprises N inverters, wherein N is an integer greater than two. The duty cycle conversion circuit is arranged to receive N input signals each having a duty cycle between 1/N and 2/N. Each of the N input signals is applied to a respective input terminal of one of the N inverters such that each inverter receives a different input signal. Each of the N input signals is applied to a respective power terminal of one of the N inverters such that each inverter is powered by a different input signal. Each inverter receives different input signal at its respective input terminal to the input signal applied to its respective power terminal.

    摘要: According to an aspect, there is provided a method for transmitting a low-power radio signal, comprising: transmitting, by a radio device, a data radio signal by using binary frequency-shift-keying modulation introducing a phase change between consecutive bit intervals in the data radio signal; and transmitting, by the radio device, a wake-up radio signal using the binary frequency-shift-keying modulation where repetition coding is applied before the frequency-shift-keying to eliminate the phase change between consecutive bit intervals in the wake-up radio signal.

    摘要: According to an aspect, there is provided an all-digital phase-locked loop, ADPLL, for a radio receiver, transmitter or transceiver. The ADPLL comprises a time-to-digital converter for generating a digital time signal based on an external reference clock signal and a feedback signal, a switched capacitor digitally controlled oscillator, SC-DCO, for generating a radio frequency signal used as the feed-back signal, a phase-locked loop for controlling the SC-DCO based on the digital time signal for achieving a phase and frequency lock and digital processing means. The digital processing means are configured to maintain, in at least one memory, a lookup table defining a plurality of switching configurations of the SC-DCO corresponding to a plurality of frequencies of the radio frequency signal and to cause the phase-locked loop controller to adjust the switching configuration of the SC-DCO according to the lookup table.
