    摘要: Components of a radio-frequency (RF) apparatus including transceiver circuitry and frequency modification circuitry of a crystal oscillator circuit that generates a reference signal with adjustable frequency may be partitioned in a variety of ways, for example, as one or more separate integrated circuits. The frequency modification circuitry may be implemented as part of a crystal oscillator circuit that includes digitally controlled crystal oscillator (“DCXO”) circuitry and a crystal. The frequency modification circuitry may include at least one variable capacitance device and may be employed to generate a reference signal with adjustable frequency. The adjustable reference signal may be provided to other components of the RF apparatus and/or the RF apparatus may be configured to provide the adjustable reference signal to baseband processor circuitry. Automatic frequency control (AFC) circuitry may be integrated with other components of RF circuitry and may generate frequency control signals for the frequency modification circuitry based on, for example, a signal received from a temperature sensor. Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuitry may be integrated with other components of RF circuitry to enable all-digital frequency control communications from baseband processor circuitry to RF circuitry.

    摘要: A receiver includes a gain stage, a peak detector and a processor. The gain stage provides an output signal, and the peak detector provides a binary indication of whether the output signal has reached a predetermined threshold. The processor controls the gain stage in response to the binary indication.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for enhancing signal quality within a wireless receiver are disclosed. An image of a desired signal is down-converted to a baseband signal by a digital down converter. The energy of the baseband signal is subsequently determined. If the energy of the baseband signal is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, then the IF is swapped for any incoming signals. If the energy of the baseband signal is less than the predetermined threshold, then the IF is maintained for any incoming signals.

    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for dynamically selecting high-side injection or low-side injection of local oscillator mixing signals based upon an assessment of signal power within the input signal spectrum that could cause unwanted images in the processed signal. This image rejection assessment provides an advantageous basis upon which to make dynamic high-side versus low-side injection determinations.

    摘要: A ratiometric clock system for an integrated receiver and associated method are disclosed that provide an advantageous solution for combining digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry on the same integrated circuit as mixer and local oscillator (LO) generation circuitry. The generation circuitry generates an oscillation signal that is passed through a first divider to generate mixing signals for the mixer and that is passed through a second divider to generate a digital clock signal that is utilized by the DSP circuitry. This digital clock signal can be utilized by integrated analog-to-digital conversion circuitry, as well.
