    摘要: A baseband signal converter device for an impulse radio receiver combines multiple converter circuits and an RF amplifier in a single integrated circuit package. Each converter circuit includes an integrator circuit that integrates a portion of each RF pulse during a sampling period triggered by a timing pulse generator. The integrator capacitor is isolated by a pair of Schottky diodes connected to a pair of load resistors. A current equalizer circuit equalizes the current flowing through the load resistors when the integrator is not sampling. Current steering logic transfers load current between the diodes and a constant bias circuit depending on whether a sampling pulse is present.

    摘要: A frame reference signal is produced as a function of a clock signal. A first timing generator generates a coarse timing signal having a nominal period and a transition occurring at a precise temporal position with respect to the nominal period. The nominal period is a function of the frame reference signal. The temporal position is a function of a first input timing command and the clock signal. A second timing generator generates at least one fine timing transition as a function of a second input timing command and the clock signal. A combiner circuit uses the coarse timing signal to select one of the at least one fine timing transitions to output a precise timing signal, wherein the precise timing signal has a high temporal precision with respect to the frame reference signal.

    摘要: A method for ensuring data integrity in a computer system having a primary logical device and one or more alternate logical devices. These logical devices have substantially identical data stored in them and have the capability of responding to requests. The system duplicates device access to the alternate logical devices. The logical devices are identified to the computer system as the devices on which duplicating or mirroring operations are to be performed. A read operation or a write operation is performed on the primary logical device. In the case of a write operation, it is also performed simultaneously on the alternate logical devices. The system waits for a response from the primary logical device. If the response indicates that the primary logical device has failed, the alternate logical devices are relied on to complete the operation.

    摘要: A high speed digital programmable frequency divider (100) capable of frequency division by even and odd integers is disclosed herein. The frequency divider (100) of the present invention includes a waveform generator (200) for providing a periodic input waveform of a first period and the inverse thereof. The present invention further includes a clocked ring oscillator circuit (400) for providing first and second closed signal paths, in response to the input waveform, disposed to invert signals passing therethrough. The first and second signal paths have a common output node (499) and first and second propagation delays substantially equal to first and second integral multiples of the first period, respectively. In addition, the frequency divider (100) includes a programmable switch network (500) for opening the first and second signal paths to provide a periodic output waveform at the output node (499).

    摘要: The invention provides methods and devices for estimating power amplifier nonlinearity using simple correlation techniques. Methods and devices of the invention can monitor a power amplifier that has digitally modulated inputs and an output containing more than one signal stream. A preferred method of the invention creates a test signal by forming the products of several pseudorandom noise sequences from the digitally modulated inputs to the power amplifier. Nonlinear contributions of the power amplifier output are determined by cross-correlating the test signal and the total output signal of the power amplifier. In preferred embodiments, the determined nonlinear contributions of the power amplifier are used to introduce corrective predistortion in the power amplifier.

    摘要: An integrated variable voltage diode capacitor topology applied to a circuit providing a variable voltage load for controlling variable capacitance. The topology includes a first pair of anti-series varactor diodes, wherein the diode power-law exponent n for the first pair of anti-series varactor diodes in the circuit is equal or greater than 0.5, and the first pair of anti-series varactor diodes have an unequal size ratio that is set to control third-order distortion. The topology also includes a center tap between the first pair anti-series varactor diodes for application of the variable voltage load. In preferred embodiments, a second pair of anti-series varactor diodes is arranged anti-parallel to the first pair of anti-series varactor diodes so the combination of the first pair of anti-series varactor diodes and the second pair of anti-series varactor diodes control second-order distortion as well.
