Abstract:
A voltage controlled delay line having a plurality of delay cells is used to delay a first reference clock by a predetermined delay time to generate an in-phase first delay clock and to delay a second reference clock by the predetermined delay time to generate an in-phase second delay clock. Each delay cell has a first input port, a second input port, a first output port, and a second output port. The first output port of one delay cell and the second input port of another one delay cell having the same phase are electrically connected or the second output port of one delay cell and the first input port of another one delay cell having the same phase are electrically connected so that the first and second input port of each delay cell are not connected to the first and second output port of an adjacent delay cell.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention provides a sliced transmitter front-end (TX FE). The sliced TX FE includes first TX FE slices and a second TX FE slice that are connected in parallel. As a whole the first TX FE slices contributes a high-gain section to a superimposed gain range of the sliced TX FE. The second TX FE slice has a gain range that constitutes a low-gain section of the superimposed gain range of the sliced TX FE. A minimum gain of the gain range of the second TX FE slice is smaller than a minimum gain of the high-gain section.

Abstract:
A radio frequency (RF) modulator includes: converting means for up-converting a first and second baseband signals into a first and second up-converted signals with a reference clock, wherein a phase difference between the first and second baseband signals substantially equals 180°/N; and combining means for combining the first and second up-converted signals to generate an output signal.
Abstract:
A graphic processing unit (GPU) with a configurable filtering module (CFU) and an operation method thereof are presented. The graphic processing unit comprises a memory module and a configurable filtering module. The memory module stores at least one texture image. The configurable filtering module, connected to the memory module, comprises a plurality of filter equations, from which a filter equation is selected. A plurality of pixel points are sampled from the texture image. Each sampled pixel point is set with a weight value respectively. Each sampled pixel point with a weight value corresponding thereto is substituted into the selected filter equation to perform an operational process to acquire an operated value. Thereby, the user can decide the operation method of the GPU by selecting an appropriate filter equation and setting adjustable parameters in the filter equation.
