    Abstract: Examples provide a method and apparatus for an analog bi-quad infinite impulse response (IIR) filter. An amplifier generates a positive output signal corresponding to a received RF signal and a negative output signal. A set of selectively switchable time-delay circuits associated with a positive arm of the filter causes a predetermined delay corresponding to a desired sample frequency. A first set of configurable variable gain amplifiers amplify the positive output signal to establish a set of positive coefficients. A set of selectively switchable time-delay circuits associated with a negative arm of the filter causes a predetermined delay. A delayed negative output signal is generated which is amplified by a second set of configurable variable gain amplifiers to establish a set of negative coefficients. A set of power combiners function as sum junctions to combine the delayed positive output signals and the delayed negative output signals into a single output signal.

    Abstract: A system, such as a transceiver, for controlling an adjustable power level includes first and second power detectors, a network of attenuators, a compensator, a comparator, and a controller. The first power detector measures the power of a signal. The network of attenuators receives the signal and generates an attenuated signal. The compensator receives the attenuated signal and generates a compensated signal. The second power detector measures the power of the compensated signal. The comparator receives the respective outputs from the first and second power detectors and generates a first error signal. The controller enables the fixed attenuation, correspondingly adjusts the variable attenuation, receives a second error signal, and provides a control signal to the network of attenuators to nullify an attenuation mismatch introduced between the fixed attenuation and the variable attenuation. A corresponding method for controlling an adjustable power level is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method for processing a signal with a corresponding noise profile includes analyzing spectral content of the noise profile, filtering at least one noise harmonic within the signal based on the analyzed spectral content, and limiting the filtered signal. The noise profile may include a phase noise profile. The signal may include a sinusoidal signal and/or a noise signal. At least one filter coefficient that is used to filter the at least one noise harmonic may be determined. The filtering may include low pass filtering. The limiting may include hard-limiting of the filtered signal. A phase difference between the limited signal and a reference signal may be detected.
