    摘要: An apparatus for generating a radio frequency signal based on a symbol within a constellation diagram is provided. The constellation diagram is spanned by a first axis representing an in-phase component and an orthogonal second axis representing a quadrature component. The apparatus includes a processing unit configured to select a segment of a plurality of segments of the constellation diagram containing the symbol. The segment is delimited by a third axis and a fourth axis each crossing the origin of the constellation diagram and spanning an opening angle of the segment of less than about 90°. The processing unit is further configured to calculate a first coordinate of the symbol with respect to the third axis, and a second coordinate of the symbol with respect to the fourth axis. The apparatus further includes a plurality of digital-to-analog converter cells configured to generate the radio frequency signal using the first coordinate and the second coordinate.

    摘要: A switched capacitor digital power amplifier (DPA) or a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is disclosed. The DPA/DAC includes a plurality of switched capacitor cells connected in parallel. Each switched capacitor cell includes a capacitor and a switch. The switch selectively drives the capacitor in response to an input digital codeword. The switched capacitor cells are divided into sub-arrays and a series capacitor is inserted in series between two adjacent sub-arrays of switched capacitor cells. All the sub-arrays of switched capacitor cells may be in a unary-coded structure. Alternatively, at least one of the sub-arrays may be in a C-2C structure and at least one another sub-array may be in a unary-coded structure. The switch in the switched capacitor cells is driven by a local oscillator signal, and a phase correction buffer may be added for adjusting a delay of the local oscillator signal supplied to sub-arrays of switched capacitor cells.

    摘要: A method for calibrating a phase nonlinearity of a digital-to-time converter is provided. The method includes generating, based on a control word, a reference signal using a phase-locked loop. A frequency of the reference signal is equal to a frequency of an output signal of the digital-to-time converter. Further, the method includes measuring a temporal order of a transition of the output signal from a first signal level to a second signal level, and a transition of the reference signal from the first signal level to the second signal level. The method additionally includes adjusting a first entry of a look-up table based on the measured temporal order.

    摘要: 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.
