Abstract:
High-quality reception of a radio signal is controlled by increasing the cut-off frequency and preventing suppression of the low-frequency component. A radio signal amplifying means (11) amplifies the received radio signal to generate an amplified signal. A frequency converting means (20) converts the radio signal from the radio frequency to an intermediate frequency by mixing a local oscillation signal and the amplified signal to generate an intermediate frequency signal. A frequency shift control means (31) shifts the frequency of the intermediate frequency signal to the higher side of the frequency band. A frequency inversion control means (32) inverts the low-frequency side of the intermediate frequency signal to the higher side of the frequency band and the high-frequency side to the lower side of the frequency band. An AC coupling means (40) is provided on the output side of a frequency control means (30). A radio signal demodulation means (50) demodulates the output signal from the AC coupling means (40).
Abstract:
The RF communication system includes an antenna that receives/transmits RF signals, a PLL (730) that generates multi-phase clock signals having a frequency different from a carrier frequency and a reference signal having a carrier frequency, a demodulation-mixer (720) that mixes the received RF signals with the multi-phase clock signals having the frequency different from the carrier frequency to output signals having a frequency reduced relative to the carrier frequency, two stage amplification (740, 750) that amplifies a selected channel signal to a required dynamic level, and an A/D converting unit (770 A) for converting the RF signals from the mixing unit into digital signals. The two stage amplification can provide the selected channel signal with sufficient gain, even when an adjacent channel signal is output by the demodulation mixer (720) with greater amplitude or power.

Abstract:
A wireless receiver receives a wireless signal by inverting the polarity of an incoming waveform on every one half clock cycle of a conversion clock to produce a commutated waveform and converting said commutated waveform to a series of representative digital values using a delta-sigma modulator clocked by said conversion clock. In this way, the receiver operates over a large dynamic range and the use of automatic gain control in the front end may be eliminated.
Abstract:
A radio transceiver comprises a reception path, a transmission path, and a frequency generator with a programmable phase lock loop. The reception path, the transmission path, and the frequency generator share a maximum amount of common circuitry to facilitate implementation of the entire radio transceiver on a single integrated circuit. The reception path includes an amplifier and a quadrature mixer for producing low intermediate frequency signals. The transmission path can be controlled by either a modulated voltage controlled transmitter or an in-phase and quadrature modulator transmitter.

Abstract:
The circuit has an input signal which is filtered with a first filter having a bandwidth greater than a bandwidth of the desired signal. The filtered signal is then sampled to generate discrete time samples, which is then filtered with a discrete time matched filter. The filtered samples are then scaled with a scaling factor and quantized. A quantity related to an amplitude of the quantized samples is measured, and the scaling factor is adjusted in accordance with the measured quantity. The quantized samples can be further processed and provided to a decoder. The desired signal can be a quadrature modulated signal. The adjustment of the scaling factor can be performed by an automatic gain control (AGC) loop that compares the measured signal power of the quantized samples against a predetermined value to generate error values. The AGC loop then filters the error values to generate the scaling factor.
Abstract:
A radio frequency receiver circuit, for example for receiving digital terrestrial television broadcast signals. Such signals include wanted signals in wanted frequency bands, and may also include interference signals close to the wanted frequency bands. The receiver circuit receives a first intermediate frequency signal, and achieves downconversion by sub-sampling in an analog-digital converter. The sampling rate of the analog-digital converter is chosen relative to the intermediate frequency such that a known interference signal does not alias into the wanted frequency band, allowing it to be removed at baseband.
