A variable-gain power amplifying technique includes generating, with a network of one or more reactive components included in an oscillator, a first oscillating signal, and outputting, via one or more taps included in the network of the reactive components, a second oscillating signal. The second oscillating signal has a magnitude that is proportional to and less than the first oscillating signal. The power amplifying technique further includes selecting one of the first and second oscillating signals to use for generating a power-amplified output signal, and amplifying the selected one of the first and second oscillating signals to generate the power-amplified output signal.

A circuit and apparatus for filtering harmful harmonics is disclosed. The circuit and apparatus include a power amplifier core that uses equally sized inverter based amplifiers. The amplifier core cells provide uniform load to all phases of a fundamental frequency to cancel all harmonics at an output. The power amplifier stages are driven into nonlinearity, and the combination of harmonics is performed at the output by varying series connected capacitors. The harmonic combination is performed at the output, leaving no further scope of nonlinearity in the signal chain.

A wireless receiver includes a receiver mixer having at least two sets of switches connected to selectively pass a portion of a received RF signal to the mixer's output. Different sets of the switches are activated by different phases of a local oscillator to effect passing of different phases of the RF signal to the output. These outputs are combined in various ways to obtain operation of the main receiver and the wake up receiver modes at harmonically related carrier frequencies with as low as possible subharmonic multi-phase clock generation network. This can be used to detect a wake up signal with a very fast response time, minimal area overhead, minimal power usage, and equal loading to the local oscillator network providing the phases to the mixer to maintain excellent phase balance and precise harmonic selectivity.

An RF or other high frequency transceiver including a loopback reference channel for measurement of an absolute power level. A transmit channel in the transceiver includes a programmable power amplifier that can be controlled to operate at a selected power level, and a receive channel including a receive amplifier, mixers, filters, and analog-to-digital converters. The loopback reference channel includes a self-biased amplifier, followed by a series of buffers that generate a square wave from the received signal, and an attenuator applying an attenuation gain to the square wave. The transmit power at a programmed power level can be calculated from ratios of a measured power level of a transmitted signal as received by the receive channel to the measured power level of the transmitted signal using the loopback reference channel.
