    Abstract: A digital up-converter (DUC) includes conjugate-mixer-combiner. The conjugate-mixer-combiner includes a pre-combiner configured to generate combinations of a first in-phase (I) value to be transmitted at a first frequency of a first frequency band, a first quadrature (Q) value to be transmitted at the first frequency of a first frequency band, a second I value for to be transmitted at a second frequency of a second frequency band, and a second Q value to be transmitted at the second frequency of a second frequency band. The conjugate-mixer-combiner further includes a plurality of multipliers collectively configured to shift the combinations based on an average difference between the first frequency and the second frequency.

    Abstract: Dual mode filters having two reconfigurable multi-stage filters. In a dual band mode, each reconfigurable filter filters an input signal in a different band using every filter stage. In a single band mode, both reconfigurable filters are effectively divided into two sub-chains that include either the odd-numbered filter stages or the even-numbered filter stages. Together, the four sub-chains in the single band mode filter an input signal in a single band with a higher parallelization than each reconfigurable filter in the dual band mode. In some embodiments, the dual mode filter is a decimation filter. In other embodiments, the dual mode filter is a resampling filter. In still other embodiments, the dual mode filter is an interpolation filter.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a radar system including a radar IC including a timing engine, a local oscillator, and a modulator. The timing engine is configured to generate one or more chirp control signals. The local oscillator is configured to receive the one or more chirp control signals and generate a frame including a first sequence of chirps according to the one or more chirp control signals. The modulator is configured to modulate the first sequence of chirps to generate a second sequence of chirps so the frame includes the first sequence of chirps and the second sequence of chirps offset by a first frequency value.

    Abstract: A method for dithering a fractional clock divider includes generating a first clock enable sequence based on a seed pattern of M ones and N minus M zeros, selecting a cyclic rotation of the seed pattern after N input clock cycles, and generating a second clock enable sequence based on the cyclic rotation. A clock gate receives the input clock signal and the clock enable sequences and outputs M clock cycles for every N input clock cycles. A random number generator indicates the cyclic rotation of the seed pattern. The seed pattern can be replaced with an updated seed pattern of M ones and N minus M zeros in a different order. In some examples, the clock enable sequence is generated using a cyclic shift register containing the seed pattern and a multiplexor. In other examples, the clock enable sequence is generated using a modulo N counter and a comparator.
