Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to provide a data dependent delay for a multi-phase transmitter architectures. These techniques include identifying a current segment occupied by a symbol associated with in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) data within a data constellation based upon the number of phases used. Once the segment is identified, vector components are calculated as a function of the segment used to re-map the symbol within the constellation defined in accordance with the number of phases. The data delay may be performed in the baseband or at the RF rate to time-align local oscillator clocks with the delayed data, which is represented as the calculated vector components, for transmission. Further modifications to the RF-DAC operation to facilitate operation with the multi-phase system are also disclosed.

Abstract: A radio frequency digital-to-analog converter (RFDAC) circuit includes an RFDAC array circuit including an array of cells arranged into a plurality of segments. Each segment of the plurality of segments is configured to process input data signals. The RFDAC array circuit is configured to process an input data based on activating a set of segments of the plurality of segments, forming a set of active segments, and when the sign of the input data is changed, deactivate a partially active segment of the set of active segments and activate a sign change segment within the RFDAC array circuit. The sign change segment includes a segment within the plurality of segments of the RFDAC array circuit that is different from the set of active segments.
