    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices and apparatuses directed to transceiver devices are disclosed. In accordance with one method, a first set of antenna positions in a first section of a set of sections of a circuit layout for the circuit package is selected. The method further includes selecting another set of antenna positions in another section of the circuit layout such that an arrangement of selected antenna positions of the other set is different from an arrangement of selected antenna positions of a previously selected set of antenna positions. The selecting another set of positions in another section is iterated until selections have been made for a total number of antennas. The selecting the other set is performed such that consecutive unselected positions in the other section do not exceed a predetermined number of positions. In addition, antenna elements are formed at the selected positions to fabricate the circuit package.

    Abstract: A fully integrated CMOS multi-element phased-array transmitter (transmitter)includes, in part, on-chip power amplifiers (PA) (262), with integrated output matching. The transmitter is adapted to be configured as a two-dimensional 2-by-2 array or as a one dimensional l-by-4 array. The transmitter uses a two step up-conversion architecture with an IF frequency of 4.8GHz. Double-quadrature architecture for the up-conversion stages attenuates the signal at image frequencies. The phase selectors (252, 254) in each transmitter path have independent access to all the phases of the VCO (202). The double quadrature architecture results in two sets of phase selectors for each path, one for the in-phase (1) and one for the quadrature phase (Q) of the LO signal. The phase selection is done in two stages, with the first stage determining the desired VCO differential phase pair and the next stage selecting the appropriate polarity. An on-chip Balun is used for differential to single-ended conversion.

    Abstract: Improved phased array techniques and architectures are provided. For example, a linear phased array includes N discrete phase shifters and N-I variable phase shifters, wherein the N-I variable phase shifters are respectively coupled between adjacent output nodes of the N discrete phase shifters such that the N discrete phase shifters reduce an amount of continuous phase shift provided by the N-I variable phase shifters. Each of the N discrete phase shifters may select between two or more discrete phase shifts. The N discrete phase shifters also preferably eliminate a need for a variable termination impedance in the linear phased array.
