A device for implementing a method for generating a pulse width modulated signal based upon a natural sampling technique is disclosed. First, a complex baseband signal is received by the device. Second, the device computes a first pulse edge vector and a second pulse edge vector as a function of the baseband signal. Third, the device computes a first set of natural sampling points as a function of the first pulse edge vector and computes a second set of natural sampling points as a function of the second pulse edge vector. These computations can involve one or more detections of a jump k&pgr; within the first pulse edge vector and/or the second pulse edge vector. Finally, the pulse width modulated signal is generated with pulse edges corresponding to the first set of natural sampling points and the second set of natural sampling points.

A method and apparatus for a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal (30, 130) is provided. The input is a digital signal which is a modulated signal (24, 124). In the illustrated form, the modulated input signal is either a PDM signal or a PCM signal.

A switching amplifier (15) includes a power stage (18) and a digital correction circuit (16). The digital correction circuit (16) is for correcting nonlinearity and power supply noise introduced into a digital signal during power stage amplification. The digital correction circuit (16) receives a digital pulse modulated input signal from a processor (14) and an amplified pulse modulated output signal from the power stage (18), and performs a discrete-time pulse edge correction on the digital pulse modulated input signal to provide a corrected digital pulse modulated signal. The corrected digital pulse modulated signal is used as an input for the power stage (18).

Methods and corresponding systems in a low noise amplifier include selecting a selected sub-band for amplifying, wherein the selected sub-band is one of a plurality of sub-bands, wherein each sub-band is a portion of a frequency band, and wherein each sub-band has a corresponding sub-band center frequency. Next, a gate-source capacitor is adjusted so that a real part of an LNA input impedance corresponds to a real part of a source impedance at the selected sub-band center frequency. A match capacitor is also adjusted so that the LNA input impedance corresponds to the complex conjugate of the source impedance at the selected sub-band center frequency. The gate-source capacitor and the match capacitor can each be adjusted by recalling capacitor values from memory that correspond to the selected sub-band, and connecting selected capacitor components in response to the recalled capacitor values.

A method and system of decimating a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal (537) is provided. The method includes computing one or more timestamps (553) of the PWM signal (537), the PWM signal being at a first sample rate (567). The one or more timestamps (553) are computed at a second sample rate (568), which is lower than the first sample rate (567). Thereafter, the method generates a plurality of pre-filter signals (557-n) based on each of the one or more timestamps (553) and a plurality of translation factors (555-n). The plurality of pre-filter signals (557-n) is then filtered at the second sample rate (568) using a plurality of Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters (560-n) to generate a plurality of intermediate decimated Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) signals (563). The plurality of intermediate decimated PCM signals (563) is combined to generate a PCM signal (569).
