    摘要: An RF signal reception method includes mixing a received signal and a local oscillator signal to form a down converted signal. The down converted signal formed from the received signal is a modulated non-zero low frequency carrier referred to as a low frequency carrier desired signal. The low frequency carrier desired signal is extracted from undesired signals and interferers by using low or band-pass filters and the resulting signal is AC coupled to low frequency amplifiers for amplification. A digital representation of the low frequency carrier desired signal is then formed by digitally sampling at an analog-to-digital converter. The digitized desired signal may be further processed by digital signal processing devices for obtaining voice and/or data messages.

    摘要: Apparatus, and an associated method, for a direct conversion receiver by which to selectably increase the sensitivity of the receiver. The direct conversion receiver includes a baseband amplifier positioned in front of a baseband filter, and coupled to receive a direct-converted baseband signal. The gain at which the baseband amplifier amplifies the signal provided thereto is selected, in combination with gains applied to other amplification elements of the direct conversion receiver to distribute the gain across the receive chain. When a signal received at the receiver includes a large interfering signal component, the gain of the baseband amplifier is reduced to lessen the possibility that the amplified signal become saturated. A gain controller controls the gain of the amplification elements.

    摘要: Methods for tuning a tunable matching network can involve comparing a source impedance of a source to a real part of a load impedance of a load. Depending on characteristics of the network, capacitances of one or more tunable capacitors can be set to correspond to device boundary parameters, and capacitances of remaining tunable capacitors can be set based on a predetermined relationship between the parameters of the capacitors, the source, the load, and other components. From these initially determined values, the capacitance value of one or more of the capacitors can be adjusted to fall within device boundary conditions and achieve a perfect or at least best match tuning configuration.
