    摘要: Consistent the present disclosure, a receive circuit is provided that includes a balanced detector portion and a transimpedance amplifier (TIA). The anode of one photodiode is connected to the cathode of the other by a bonding pad, which supplies the sum of the currents generated in each photodiode to an input of the TIA. Thus, the TIA may, for example, have a single input, as opposed to multiple inputs, thereby reducing the number of connections so that the photodiodes and the TIA may be integrated onto a smaller die. In addition, since there are few connections, fewer TIAs are required and differential stages are unnecessary. Power consumption is thus reduced, and, since the photodiode current is fed through one input to the TIA, fewer feedback resistors are required, thereby reducing thermal noise. In addition, since the anode of one photodiode is connected to the cathode of the other, the dark current generated in each flows in opposite directions, and is therefore effectively cancelled out. Since one input is provided, impedance matching with other inputs is unnecessary, nor is additional DC biasing circuitry needed. As described in greater detail below, an example of the present disclosure includes a bonding pad, which connects the two photodiodes and provides the input current to the TIA.

    摘要: An optical receiver circuit is disclosed in which a number of electrical signals are processed to extract data encoded therein. The electrical signals may be compared during the process to selectively remove one or more waveforms from one or more corresponding electrical signals. Various data signals, each including one or more waveforms, may then be processed to extract the encoded data. The optical receiver circuit reduces, or eliminates, electrical offsets which may be present in one or more of the electrical signals to reduce corresponding errors in the encoded data signals.

    摘要: A feedforward linearizer includes a signal cancellation circuit and an error cancellation circuit. The signal cancellation circuit includes a tap delay line, that delay the input signal by a predetermined time delay so as to provide several delayed versions of the input signal. Each delayed version of the input signal is weighted by a tap coefficient. The weighted signals are then added together and fed to the power amplifier. The tap coefficients are derived such that the signals traveling through the upper and lower branch of the signal cancellation loop are aligned and that the output signal of the power amplifier is equalized.

    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, a “dummy” transimpedance amplifier (dummy TIA) is provided on a substrate along with one or more other transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) that are connected to photodiodes and output voltage signals for further processing. Typically, the dummy TIA is not connected to a photodiode and does not supply a useful output. The dummy TIA, however, is subject to the same processing and temperature variations as the other TIAs, and, as a result, the voltage on the dummy TIA inverting input will be the same or substantially the same as that of the other TIAs. Thus, by sensing the dummy TIA inverting input voltage, an appropriate photodiode bias can be obtained without direct measurement of the voltage on the inverting inputs of the other TIAs.

    摘要: A circuit that increases the efficiency of a radio frequency mobile telephone unit is disclosed. When the signal strength between the base station and the mobile unit is below a predetermined signal strength level, the power amplifier is turned on and the transmitter circuit of the mobile unit fully amplifies the RF signal. However, when the signal strength between the mobile telephone unit and the base station is above a predetermined signal strength level, the power amplifier is deactivated and bypassed from the transmitter circuitry, thereby conserving the battery power of the mobile unit.
