An antenna and methods for manufacturing the antenna is provided. The antenna (100) includes an electrically non-conductive substrate (102). The antenna further includes an electrically conductive strip (104). The electrically conductive strip (104) is wound around the electrically non-conductive substrate (102) so as to form an overlap (120) between adjacent turns of the electrically conductive strip (104), without creating a galvanic connection at the overlap.

An antenna assembly (10) includes a ground plane formed on a chassis (12) of the radio and the functional knob forming an antenna element (11). The antenna assembly further includes a slot or notch element (14) in the ground plane substantially adjacent to the functional knob and having a length less than ¼ wavelength, and a coaxial cable (13) feeding the antenna element. A shield of the coaxial cable can be directly connected to the ground plane and a center conductor of the coaxial cable can be directly coupled to the functional knob to provide a galvanic connection for narrowband performance or the center conductor can be electromagnetically coupled to the functional knob for wideband performance or both. The antenna assembly can create a zero volume notch type ground excitation.

A linear RF transmitter (100) includes a forward path including a baseband signal combiner (109) and an RF (radio frequency) power amplifier (123), and a linearizing control loop from an output (127) of the RF power amplifier to an input of the combiner (109). A feedback control path (105, 107) of the loop delivers a baseband error control signal to the combiner. The transmitter further includes a test signal generator (102) to apply to the combiner in a closed loop level training mode a test signal comprising a voltage Vin which increases with time in a non-linear manner approaching an asymptotic limit such that in response an output signal produced by the combiner is a voltage Ve which is substantially constant over a period of time.

A wireless communication unit (300) comprises a linearized transmitter (325, 500) having a power amplifier (324), a forward path and a feedback path for feeding back a portion of a signal to be transmitted, wherein the feedback path and forward path form two loops in quadrature. A processor (322) applies one or more training signals to a first quadrature circuit loop and a second quadrature circuit loop and measures a quadrature imbalance between the first and second quadrature circuit loops. In response the processor adjusts at least one parameter setting of a loop adjustment function (442) to balance the quadrature circuit loops. A linearized transmitter integrated circuit and method of training are also described. The measuring and compensating for any loop imbalance between digital ‘I’ and ‘Q’ paths around a feedback path provides improved accuracy and stability in phase and/or amplitude.

A wireless communication unit includes a frequency generation circuit, and a linearised transmitter operably coupled to the frequency generation circuit and having a forward path for routing a signal to be transmitted; and a feedback path, operably coupled to a power amplifier and the forward path for feeding back a portion of the signal to be transmitted. The feedback path and forward path form two loops in quadrature. The frequency generation circuit includes independent phase shift elements arranged to independently phase shift the two loops in quadrature (‘I’ and ‘Q’).
