    Abstract: A calibration system operates to calibrate or correct a digital-to-time converter (DTC) that comprises a detector component and a distortion correction component. The DTC can receive one or more signals and a digital code to generate a modulation signal by controlling an offset of the one or more signals based on the digital code. The detector component can comprise a TDC or another DTC that operates to measure a dynamic behavior in response to detecting nonlinearities of the modulation signal. The distortion correction component can generate a set of distortion data that removes the dynamic behavior from an output of the DTC based on the measurement.

    Abstract: A digital phase lock loop (DPLL) device or system can operate to analyze and estimate a deterministic jitter in the digital domain, while correcting for it in the analog domain. A reference oscillator can provide an analog reference signal to the DPLL via a reference path. A shaper of the reference path can process the analog reference signal and provide a digital signal to a doubler component that doubles the frequency for a digital reference signal. The doubler component itself can add deterministic jitter to the noise of the digital reference signal it provides to the DPLL. An estimation of the DPLL performs various calibration processes to determine the deterministic jitter in the digital domain and provide an analog bias signal to the signal shaper component to correct for the deterministic jitter, keeping it at around zero.

    Abstract: A wireless device and method of power consumption reduction are generally described herein. The wireless device may map a plurality of data symbols to sub-carriers for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission. The wireless device may divide the plurality of data symbols into first and second groups of data symbols. The wireless device may generate a first OFDM signal from the first group of data symbols for amplification by a first power amplifier (PA). The wireless device may generate a second OFDM signal from the second group of data symbols for amplification by a second PA. The data symbols of the first and second groups may be selected to provide a PAPR of the first OFDM signal that is lower than a PAPR of a composite OFDM signal based on the plurality of data symbols.
