    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Circuits and methods are disclosed for compensating for received signal distortion caused by non-linearities in wideband receivers. An exemplary receiver includes a distortion waveform generator configured to approximate non-linear response characteristics of a downconverter circuit used to downconvert the received radio frequency signal. The resulting estimated distortion waveform is filtered, using filter(s) substantially similar to those used for filtering an intermediate frequency signal that includes the desired signal and non-linear distortion products caused by strong interfering signals. The filtered estimated distortion waveform and intermediate frequency signal are sampled, to obtain a sampled distortion signal and a sampled signal of interest. The sampled distortion signal and the sampled signal of interest are divided into a plurality of frequency channels. For a selected number of frequency channels, the sampled distortion signal for a frequency channel is scaled, and subtracted from the corresponding sampled signal of interest for the same frequency channel to obtain reduced-interference signal samples for the frequency channel.
