    Abstract: A dual-radio communication apparatus has a first radio device, such as a Bluetooth radio, for use in a first frequency band, and a second radio device, such as a Globalstar satellite radio, for use in a second frequency band, which is proximate to the first frequency band. The communication apparatus also has a controller coupled to the first and second radio devices. The first radio device may comprise a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum transmitter. Moreover, the first radio device has a first operating mode employing a first frequency range. The first radio device also has a second operating mode employing a second frequency range, which is smaller than the first frequency range. The controller is adapted to set the first radio device in its second operating mode, when the second radio device is in operation, and otherwise set the first radio device in its first operating mode.

    Abstract: A combination of a phase shifter, a measurement receiver, and an offset estimator enable the d.c. offset in the transmit path of a quadrature transmitter to be distinguished from the d.c. offset in the measurement receiver. The measurement receiver performs a first measurement on the transmit path output with a “normal” phase shift of 0 degrees and 90 degrees for in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, and a second measurement with a “special” phase shift for the I and Q components. In one embodiment, the “special” phase shift for the I and Q components is 180 degrees and 270 degrees, respectively.

    Abstract: A communication device has a controller operatively connected to at least a first transceiver and a second transceiver, wherein the first transceiver receives signals on one or more channels within a first frequency band and the second transceiver transmits signals on one or more channels within a second frequency band, wherein the first and second frequency bands are adjacent one another so that each of the first and second frequency bands has an adjacent border and a nonadjacent border. Coexistence between the first and second transceivers is achieved by adjusting receive and/or transmit filters associated with the transceivers to create a guard band that is located more in the first frequency band if the second transceiver is using frequencies close to its adjacent border, and a guard band that is more in the second frequency band if the second transceiver is not using frequencies close to its adjacent border.

    Abstract: An entire radio transceiver can be completely integrated into one IC chip. In order to integrate the IF filters on the chip, a heterodyne architecture with a low IF is used. A single, directly modulated VCO is used for both up-conversion during transmission, and down-conversion during reception. Bond-wires are used as resonators in the oscillator tank for the VCO. A TDD scheme is used in the air interface to eliminate cross-talk or leakage. A Gaussian-shaped binary FSK modulation scheme is used to provide a number of other implementation advantages.
