摘要： A novel method and apparatus for a negative contributive offset compensation mechanism for a transmit buffer adapted to compensate for the positive offset generated by higher order sigma-delta modulators used to amplitude modulate the transmit buffer. The positive outputs from the sigma-delta modulator are processed differently than the negative outputs. The inverters associated with the negative outputs in the sigma-delta modulator are removed and the clock signal used to drive the transistors corresponding to the negative outputs is negated or shifted 180 degrees from the clock used to drive the transistors corresponding to the positive outputs. A non-inverted version of the clock is used with the positive outputs and an inverse clock is used with the negative outputs. Use of the inverse clock causes a negative contributive offset to be generated that is added on the second half cycle of each clock. The result is an offset compensated RF output signal having zero offset.

摘要： A novel apparatus for and method of delay alignment between amplitude and phase/frequency modulation paths in a digital polar transmitter. The invention provides a fully digital delay alignment mechanism where better than nanosecond alignment is achieved by accounting for processing delays in the digital circuit modules of the transmitter and by the use of programmable delay elements spread across several clock domains. Tapped delay lines compensate for propagation and settling delays in analog elements such as the DCO, dividers, quad switch, buffers, level shifters and digital pre-power amplifier (DPA). A signal correlative mechanism is provided whereby data from the amplitude and phase/frequency modulation paths to be matched is first interpolated and then cross-correlated to achieve accuracy better than the clock domain of comparison. Within the ADPLL portion of the transmitter, precise alignment of reference and direct point injection points in the ADPLL is provded using multiple clock domains, tapped delay lines and clock adjustment circuits.

摘要： An apparatus and method of linearization of a digitally-controlled pre-power amplifier (DPA) and RF power amplifier (PA) for performing predistortion calibration to compensate for nonlinearlities in the DPA and PA circuits. A predistortion look up table (LUT) stores measured distortion compensation data that is applied to the TX data before being input to the digital-to-frequency converter (DFC), DPA and PA. The on-chip receiver, which is normally inactive during the TX burst in a half-duplex operation, demodulates the RF PA output and uses the digital I/Q RX outputs to perform calibration of the TX pre-distortion tables. A sample of the RF output signal is provided to the receiver chain. While the PA (DPA) code is increasing (or decreasing), the amplitude and phase of the recovered I/Q samples are used to determine the instantaneous value of the AM/AM and AM/PM pre-distortion from which an update to the predistortion tables may be computed.

摘要： A novel and useful apparatus for and method of predistortion compensation of device (e.g., transistor) mismatch in a digital power amplifier (DPA). The device mismatch predistortion mechanism of the present invention addresses the problem of matching between two types of binary weighted transistors, whereby mismatched transistors cause degradation in wideband noise. The invention provides a digital predistortion mechanism which functions to pre-distort the mismatch ratio based on a data table calculated a priori enabling a polar transmitter to meet output spectrum and error vector magnitude (EVM) requirements of the particular modern wideband wireless standard, such as GSM, 3G WCDMA, etc.

摘要： A transmitter employing a sigma delta modulator having a noise transfer function adapted to shift quantization noise outside at least one frequency band of interest. A technique is presented to synthesize the controllers within a single-loop sigma delta modulator such that the noise transfer function can be chosen arbitrarily from a family of functions satisfying certain conditions. Using the novel modulator design technique, polar and Cartesian (i.e. quadrature) transmitter structures are supported. A transmitter employing polar transmit modulation is presented that shapes the spectral emissions of the digitally-controlled power amplifier such that they are significantly and sufficiently attenuated in one or more desired frequency bands. Similarly, a transmitter employing Cartesian transmit modulation is presented that shapes the spectral emissions of a hybrid power amplifier such that they are significantly and sufficiently attenuated in one or more desired frequency bands.

摘要： A novel and useful apparatus for and method of upsampling/interpolating a discrete-time input sample stream with time alignment utilizing the addition of randomized high frequency noise. The upsampling mechanism is an effective implementation of a second order interpolator that eliminates the need for a conventional filter as the filtering action is effectively built into the mechanism. The upsampling mechanism takes the derivative of the discrete-time input sample stream, thereby effectively providing another order of interpolation over a conventional interpolator. Before outputting the interpolated signal, an integrator takes the integral of the interpolated samples. Any processing performed between the derivative and integrator blocks effectively provides an additional order of interpolation. High frequency noise (i.e. dithering) is added to the differentiated samples in order to eliminate the spectral regrowth spurs that would otherwise appear in the output after rounding. Delay alignment is performed on the differentiated samples in order to time align both phase/frequency and amplitude samples that are processed on different paths.
