    摘要: A modulator may include a controller configured to receive in-phase (I) baseband signals and quadrature-phase (Q) baseband signals. The controller may be configured to select a section of a region defined by a number of local oscillator (LO) phases. The controller may be configured to output multiple control signals and a pair of phase selection signals. The modulator may further include multiple output stages. Each output stage may be coupled to the controller to receive a pair of the control signals, the pair of phase selection signals, and multiple offset LO signals. Each of the output stages may include a unit element.

    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for compensating, or at least adjusting, for capacitor leakage. One example method generally includes determining a leakage voltage corresponding to a leakage current of a capacitor in a filter for a phase-locked loop (PLL), wherein the determining comprises closing a set of switches for discontinuous sampling of the leakage voltage; based on the sampled leakage voltage, generating a sourced current approximately equal to the leakage current; and injecting the sourced current into the capacitor.

    摘要: Aspects of circuits and methods for generating an oscillating signal are disclosed. The circuit includes a phase detector configured to output first and second signals responsive to a phase difference between two input signals. The phase detector is further configured to disable the first signal when outputting the second signal and to disable the second signal when outputting the first signal. The circuit further includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) configured to generate an oscillating signal having a tunable frequency responsive to the first and second signals.

    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) using a lowered or an adjustable negative transconductance (−gm) compared to conventional VCOs. This −gm degeneration technique suppresses the noise injected into an inductor-capacitor (LC) tank of the VCO, thereby providing lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a given VCO voltage swing, lower power consumption, and decreased phase noise. One example VCO generally includes a resonant tank circuit, an active negative transconductance circuit connected with the resonant tank circuit, and a bias current circuit for sourcing or sinking a bias current through the resonant tank circuit and the active negative transconductance circuit to generate an oscillating signal. The active negative transconductance circuit includes cross-coupled transistors and an impedance connected between the cross-coupled transistors and a reference voltage.
