Abstract: An area-efficient balun and a method for signal processing using such a balun. One example balun generally includes a winding and a clamping circuit. The winding is formed by a coiled trace including a first portion having a first trace width and a second portion having a second trace width, the second trace width being narrower than the first trace width. The clamping circuit has a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal of the clamping circuit being coupled to the first portion of the coiled trace.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus tunes a frequency provided by a VCO. The apparatus determines a relative capacitance change associated with a first frequency and a desired frequency from a look-up table. The apparatus adjusts a capacitor circuit in the VCO based on the determined relative capacitance change determined from the look-up table in order to tune from the first frequency to the desired frequency. The apparatus determines that the frequency provided by the VCO is a second frequency different than the desired frequency after adjusting the capacitor circuit. The apparatus performs an iterative search to further adjust the capacitor circuit when a difference between the second frequency and the desired frequency is greater than a threshold.

Abstract: A transformer is described. The transformer includes a primary coil and a first secondary coil. A first coupling occurs between the first secondary coil and the primary coil. The transformer also includes a second secondary coil. A second coupling occurs between the second secondary coil and the primary coil. The first secondary coil is separated from the second secondary coil to prevent coupling between the first secondary coil and the second secondary coil. A first width of the first secondary coil is configured independently of a second width of the second secondary coil.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present invention provide methods and apparatus for detecting phase shift between signals, such as local oscillating signals in adjacent transceiver paths. One example circuit for phase detection generally includes a mixer configured to mix a first input signal having a first frequency with a second input signal having a second frequency to produce an output signal having frequency components at the sum of and the difference between the first and second frequencies; a filter connected with the mixer and configured to remove one of the frequency components at the sum of the first and second frequencies, thereby leaving a DC component; and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (e.g., a comparator) connected with the filter and configured to determine whether the first input signal is in-phase or out-of-phase with the second input signal based on a comparison between the DC component and a reference signal.
