摘要:
An RF receiver apparatus (31) is provided physically separately from a cooperating baseband processor apparatus (32). The RF receiver includes a mixer circuit (33) and an analog IF-to-digital baseband converter (34) formed on an integrated circuit. Sampling frequencies of the analog IF-to-digital baseband converter are controlled by the RF receiver apparatus.

Baseband processor and communication overloading can be relieved in a portable wireless communication terminal by decentralizing power control (38, 39) and frequency shift control (75) functions that are conventionally concentrated in the baseband processor. A timing sequencer (31) for power control can be integrated into a transceiver of the portable wireless communications terminal, thereby advantageously permitting power control signals to be generated on the transceiver side (27, 29) rather than the baseband processor side. Shadow registers (74) containing information indicative of commonly used or repeated frequencies can be integrated into the transceiver side, thereby advantageously relieving the baseband processor of corresponding frequency shift control responsibilities. These responsibilities can be further relieved by integrating into the transceiver side a sequencer (86) cooperable with the shadow registers for controlling frequency shifting of a frequency generator on the transceiver side, and by integrating into the transceiver side further shadow registers (85) for programming the sequencer with desired frequency shift sequences.

An IC device (100) includes an IC body (106) having a base layer (108) and first and second upper layers (114, 116) on the base layer. The IC body includes a cavity region (104) extending through said base and first upper layers and at least a portion of said second upper layer. In the IC device, a portion of said second upper layer in the cavity region comprises a planar inductive element (102) having first and second contacting ends (140, 142). In the IC device, at least one support member (128, 130, 132) extends at least partially into said cavity region from said IC body in at least a first direction parallel to said base layer and intersects at least a portion of said planar inductive element.

An RF amplifier includes a phase modulator developing a phase modulated RF input signal to be transmitted. A power amplifier receives the RF input signal and amplifies the RF input signal to develop an RF output signal. An amplifier control is operatively associated with the phase modulator and the power amplifier. The amplifier control includes a memory for storing correction information correlating desired amplitude of the RF output signal relative to actual amplifier amplitude, and a control varies power amplifier supply voltage responsive to the correction information to linearize amplitude modulation in the power amplifier.

摘要:
An RF amplifier for a transmitter develops a phase modulation command representing a desired phase modulation of an RF signal, and an amplitude modulation command representing a desired amplitude modulation of the RF signal. An oscillator develops an RF input signal phase modulated based on the phase modulation command. A power amplifier receives the RF input signal and amplifies the RF input signal based on the amplitude modulation command to develop an RF output signal. A modulation control is operatively associated with the oscillator. The modulation control includes a phase memory for storing phase correction information correlating the amplitude modulation commands to a phase modulation error and a phase control for varying the phase modulation command based on the phase modulation error to correct for unintended phase errors created by amplitude modulation of the power amplifier.
摘要:
A dual band mobile station including a main channel synthesizer and an offset synthesizer for generating the transmit frequency and the receive intermediate frequency (IF) required for operation in each of two different bands characterized by different transmit-receive channel offsets. According to the present invention, the main channel synthesizer does not have to change its frequency when the mobile station switches between transmission and reception in either of the two bands so long as a common IF is selected for both bands, which is equal to one or the other of the channel offsets. This IF selection also allows for a reduction in the tuning range of the main channel synthesizer.
