摘要： A mixer 1100 with a plurality of signal paths typically requires separate clock generating hardware for each signal path. However, the redundancy of having multiple clock generating hardware significantly increases power consumption and integrated circuit area when the mixer 1100 is integrated into silicon. A method and apparatus 1125 containing a circuit for generating a set of clock signals that can be shared by the different signal paths is presented. Advantage is taken of the significant capacitance difference between different sampling capacitors in the mixer and the superposition property.

摘要： The application of a non-zero voltage offset to rotating capacitors 1111 and 1112 permit the use of a single positive voltage supply. However, the precharging of the rotating capacitors 1111 and 1112 is power inefficient. A power efficient and low-noise precharging operation is realized through the sharing of the charge on a feedback capacitor 1075 and 1080 that is significantly larger than the rotating capacitors 1111. Once a precharging operation is complete, the charge on the feedback capacitor 1075 and 1080 is refreshed from its residual charge level (rather than zero charge level) to a desired charge level.

摘要： A novel apparatus for and a method of noise and spurious tones suppression in a digital RF processor (DRP). The invention is well suited for use in highly integrated system on a chip (SoC) radio solutions that incorporate a very large amount of digital logic circuitry. The noise suppression scheme eliminates the noise caused by various on chip interference sources transmitted through electromagnetic, power, ground and substrate paths. The noise suppression scheme permits an all digital PLL (ADPLL) to operate in such a way to avoid generating the spurs that would normally be generated from the injection pulling effect of interfering sources on the chip. The frequency reference clock is retimed to be synchronous to the RF oscillator clock and used to drive the entire digital logic circuitry of the DRP. This ensures that the different clock edges throughout the system will not exhibit mutual drift. A method of improving the resolution quality of a time to digital converter within the ADPLL is also taught. The method dithers the reference clock by passing it through a delay circuit that is controlled by a sigma-delta modulator. The dithered reference clock reduces the affect on the phase noise at the output of the ADPLL due to ill-behaved quantization of the TDC timing estimation.
摘要翻译：一种用于数字RF处理器（DRP）中的噪声和伪噪声抑制的新型装置和方法。本发明非常适用于结合了大量数字逻辑电路的高度集成的片上系统（SoC）无线电解决方案。噪声抑制方案消除了通过电磁，电源，接地和基板路径传输的各种片上干扰源引起的噪声。噪声抑制方案允许所有数字PLL（ADPLL）以这样的方式操作，以避免产生通常由芯片上的干扰源的注入拉动效应产生的杂散。频率参考时钟重新定时与RF振荡器时钟同步，用于驱动DRP的整个数字逻辑电路。这确保了整个系统中不同的时钟沿不会出现相互漂移。还提出了一种提高ADPLL内数字转换器的分辨率质量的方法。该方法通过将参考时钟传递通过由Σ-Δ调制器控制的延迟电路来抖动参考时钟。由于TDC定时估计的不正确的量化，抖动参考时钟降低了对ADPLL输出的相位噪声的影响。

摘要： Efficient PAM transmit modulation is provided by a PAM modulator that includes an oscillator (404) that provides a clock signal, CKV, (408). The clock signal 408 and a delayed version (CKV_DLY) 420 of the clock signal are provided to a logic gate (414). The output of logic gate (414) is used as a power amplifier input signal (PA_IN) for radio frequency power amplifier (416). Depending on the relative time delay of the CKV clock signal (408) and the CKV_DLY delayed clock signal (420), the timing and duty cycle of the logic gate (414) duty cycle can be controlled. The duty cycle or pulse-width variation affects the turn-on time of the power amplifier (416); thereby establishing the RF output amplitude.

摘要： A novel mechanism for simultaneous multiple signal reception and transmission using frequency multiplexing and shared processing. Multiple RF signals, which may be of various wireless standards, are received using one or more shared processing blocks thereby significantly reducing chip space and power requirements. Shared components include local oscillators, analog to digital converters, digital RX processing and digital baseband processing. In operation, multiple RX front end circuits, one for each desired wireless signal, generate a plurality of IF signals that are frequency multiplexed and combined to create a single combined IF signal. The combined IF signal is processed by a shared processing block. Digital baseband processing is performed on each receive signal to generate respective data outputs. Further, simultaneous full-duplex transmission and reception is performed using a single local oscillator. The phase/frequency modulation of the frequency synthesizer used in the TX is removed from the local oscillator signal for use in the receiver.
