    摘要: A method, an apparatus, and a system product for mixing radio frequency signals are provided. In one aspect, the apparatus is configured to perform switching of switches based on first, second, third, and fourth phased half duty clock signals. The apparatus convolves a differential input signal on a differential input port with the first, second, third, and fourth phased half duty cycle clock signals to concurrently generate a differential in-phase output signal and a differential quadrature-phase output signal on a dual differential output port. The first, second, third, and fourth phased half duty cycle clock signals are of the same frequency and out of phase by a multiple of ninety degrees with respect to each other.

    摘要: An image-rejecting receiver comprises a tunable mixer stage, a time-share I-Q mixer stage, a complex filter, and an image rejector. The time-share I-Q mixer stage includes a switch assembly, inphase and quadrature polarity inverters, and a clock generator. The switch assembly generates pulses and distributes them in alternation to the polarity inverters. Performing distribution prior to polarity inversion preserves the orthogonality of the inphase and quadrature target signal components despite pulse-to-pulse bleeding. Charge accumulated at the distributor switch input is dumped between pulses to further minimize such bleeding. A current-mode field-effect-transistor implementation ensures unity gain across each polarity inverter so that they are gain-matched. Gain matching and preservation of orthogonality optimize the conditions for the complex filter to attenuate and for the image rejector to cancel an image signal. The polarity inverters are switched in quadrature to relax polarity-inverter transition timing tolerances, decreasing costs and increasing reliability.

    摘要: In an FM demodulator of the phase locked loop system wherein a closed loop is formed by a phase detector, an amplifier, a loop filter, and a voltage controlled oscillator, a part of the amplifier is formed by a differential amplifying circuit which has a constant current source and is driven by a constant current. The center frequency of the frequency demodulation slope of the constant current source is changed by changing the current from the constant current source in response to the signal which was frequency demodulated by the phase locked loop. Further, a low-pass filter having the pass band of the frequency band of the signal to be modulated is provided in the path of the system from the differential amplifying circuit to the constant current source.

    摘要: A mixer section is combined with a post-mixer linearizer to counteract the nonlinear transconductance characteristics of the RF input section of the mixer thereby increasing the overall linear response of the mixer. The post-mixer linearizer has a response that is increasingly non-linear outside the non-linear operating range of the RF input section. This non-linear response compensates for the decreasingly non-linear response of the RF input section. Current mirrors in the post-mixer linearizer increase the rail-to-rail headroom of the mixer while maintaining high gain. An input driver is coupled to the mixer that provides quick switching transitions in the mixer to reduce noise effects. The mixer also includes a gain control circuit that provides linear-in-decibel gain control.

    摘要: In a double superheterodyne tuner for receiving TV channel signals, a frequency in a range defined between 2520 and 2700 MHz is selected as the first intermediate frequency, while the first intermediate frequency is obtained by subtracting a desired channel frequency from a first local oscillator frequency. The tuner comprises first and second mixing circuits respectively used for effecting frequency conversion, where each of these mixing circuits has parallel coupled lines so that each mixing circuit operates as a balance-to-unbalance transformer. The second mixing circuit further comprises a short-circuit line placed between the parallel coupled lines. The tuner also comprises a band pass filter having a band width less than 5 MHz, which selectively transmits the first intermediate frequency signal from the first mixing circuit.

    摘要: There is provided a variable gain mixer capable of controlling a gain at a low source voltage in a wide range without additional current consumption.The mixer includes: mixers constructed with variable gain amplifiers having two transistor pairs Qp+/Qp− and Qn+/Qn− to have a predetermined gain by using LO+ and LO− signals; and LO bias circuits connected to have bias voltages different from each other with respect to the LO+ and LO− signals of the mixers and share an input signal.Accordingly, by integrating the variable gain amplifiers into the mixers, a gain change can be obtained at a low source voltage in a wide range without connecting a number of variable gain amplifiers. In addition, by properly applying the LO signals used in the mixers, the gain change can have a linearity in dB characteristic

    摘要: A quadrature downconversion stage in a radio frequency receiver compensates for leakage from the quadrature local oscillator to the input of the stage by deriving first and second feedback signals from the quadrature local oscillator. The first feedback signal is 180.degree. out of phase with the in-phase component of the signal supplied to the input of the stage and the second feedback signal is 180.degree. out of phase with the quadrature component of the signal supplied to the input of the stage. The invention reduces or cancels a d.c. offset that can appear at the output of the stage. Another advantage is the reduction of re-radiated signals resulting from the local oscillator leakage. The invention is particularly applicable to direct converters.
