摘要： A balanced mixer circuit (300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800) in a baseband receiver (202) includes an oscillator circuit (212), a mixer (214 and 215), a digital-to-analog converter (258 and 259) and a digital signal processor (250). The mixer includes CMOS devices (301, 302, 303 and 304). In response to differential outputs from the mixer, the digital signal processor controls the digital-to-analog converter to output bias voltages for the gate of at least one of the CMOS devices of the mixer to compensate for imbalance in the differential output of the mixer that may be caused by mismatch among two or more CMOS devices of the mixer or caused by other reasons, in order to increase second order intercept point of the mixer.

摘要： A variable attenuator and method of attenuating a signal is presented. The variable attenuator contains an input that receives an input signal to be attenuated. A voltage divider between a resistor and parallel MOSFETs provides the attenuated input signal. The MOSFETs have different sizes and have gates that are connected to a control signal through different resistances such that the larger the MOSFET, the larger the resistance. The control signal is dependent on the output of the attenuator. The arrangement extends the linearity of the attenuation over a wide voltage range of the control signal and decreases the intermodulation distortion of the attenuator.

摘要： Methods and corresponding systems in a low noise amplifier include selecting a selected sub-band for amplifying, wherein the selected sub-band is one of a plurality of sub-bands, wherein each sub-band is a portion of a frequency band, and wherein each sub-band has a corresponding sub-band center frequency. Next, a gate-source capacitor is adjusted so that a real part of an LNA input impedance corresponds to a real part of a source impedance at the selected sub-band center frequency. A match capacitor is also adjusted so that the LNA input impedance corresponds to the complex conjugate of the source impedance at the selected sub-band center frequency. The gate-source capacitor and the match capacitor can each be adjusted by recalling capacitor values from memory that correspond to the selected sub-band, and connecting selected capacitor components in response to the recalled capacitor values.

摘要： A frequency source having a fast start-up time and low noise in steady state is presented. The frequency source includes an oscillator and a hybrid automatic gain control (AGC) loop that switches between an analog AGC loop at oscillator start up and a digital AGC loop at steady state operation. The analog AGC loop includes a peak detector connected to the oscillator and an error integrator integrating the difference between the peak detector output and a reference voltage. The digital AGC loop includes a comparator comparing the peak detector output and high/low reference voltages, an oscillator counter providing a timer signal, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) supplied with a digital word, and a low pass filter between the DAC and the oscillator. The timer signal causes a multiplexer to select either the analog AGC loop or the digital AGC loop.

摘要： A high gain wide-band width RF amplifier 120 with automatic bias supply regulation. The load supply is actively adjusted in response to the amplifier's output signal level. At small output signals effective load supply voltage is minimum and at larger output signals the effective load supply voltages is maximized. The amplifier 120 includes a differential pair of field effect transistors (FETs) 102, 104 connected at common source connection 106 and biased by current bias FET 108 which is connected between common source connection 106 and amplifier signal input RFIN. A bias voltage (VB1) is applied to the gate of bias device 108 and an automatic gain control voltage (VAGC) is applied to the gates of differential FET pair 102, 104. The automatic bias supply circuit 122 is an active load and includes resistors 124, 126, capacitor 128 and a differential amplifier 130. Capacitor 128 is connected between the negative input 132 and the output 134 of differential amplifier 130. A load reference voltage VO is provided to the positive input. Resistor 124 is connected between the output 134 of differential amplifier 130 and the high gain wide-band amplifier output 136 at the drain of FET 104. Resistor 126 is connected between the output 136 at the drain of FET 104 and the negative input 132 to differential amplifier 130 providing amplifier load signal feedback.

摘要： A temperature compensated crystal oscillator with an improved phase noise characteristic and a fast start up time includes a large time constant low-pass filter coupled to a temperature compensation circuit. At start up the low pass filter is effectively bypassed to enable the temperature compensation voltage and oscillator output frequency to settle quickly. A capacitance in the low-pass filter is precharged by a precharge circuit to match the temperature compensation voltage without disturbing the temperature compensation circuit and the concurrent settling of the oscillator. When the capacitance is fully charged, the low-pass filter is enabled without unsettling the oscillator output frequency.
