摘要： A multi-mode transmitter architecture is configurable for multiple modulation modes using either polar or polar-lite modulation. Multiplexed signal paths and reconfigurable components are controlled for performance in GMSK and EDGE burst modes. Polar-lite EDGE modulation is programmed by setting a multiplexer coupling a first amplitude modulated signal path with a frequency modulated signal path input to a dual-mode power amplifier for amplification of the combined EDGE transmission signal. In full-polar EDGE modulation, amplitude modulated signal is multiplexed into a second amplitude modulated signal path for A/D conversion and comparison with a polar feedback signal coupled from the power amplifier output. The resulting comparison is applied to a power control port of the power amplifier to amplitude modulate the EDGE transmission output. Multiplexers are configured to disconnect the amplitude modulated paths when operating in GMSK signaling for both full-polar and polar-lite modulation. Multiplexers selectively couple power feedback into the second amplitude modulated signal path to provide power control and output power ramping for burst transmissions.

摘要： A technique for calibrating a transceiver of a wireless communication device includes selectively coupling an output node of a transmitter of the transceiver to an input node of a receiver of the transceiver. A calibration signal is provided, from the output node of the transmitter, to the input node of the receiver. The calibration signal is down-converted, with the receiver, to provide a down-converted calibration signal. A discrete Fourier transform is performed on the down-converted calibration signal. Finally, one or more correction factors are determined based on an analysis of the discrete Fourier transform of the down-converted calibration signal. At least one of the correction factors is utilized to facilitate substantial cancellation of a direct current offset associated with the transceiver.

摘要： A single-chip transceiver integrated circuit (100) has multiple on-chip circuits that implement receiver functions, transmitter functions, and audio processing functions. The IC (100) has interfaces (220, 240, 252, 270, 260, 245, 288, 290) which are situated among the on-chip circuits, and which couple one on-chip circuit to another. At least some of these on-chip interfaces (220, 240, 245, 252, 270) are configurable to couple an off-chip processing circuit to substitute for a corresponding on-chip circuit. In the preferred embodiment, the single-chip transceiver IC (100) supports radio configurations having off-chip versions of corresponding on-chip circuits for performing receiver front-end functions, synthesizer functions, reference oscillator functions, and audio processing functions.

摘要： A radio (100) having an integrated transceiver circuit (102) avoids circuit crosstalk through the use of a clock shifter circuit (120). The radio includes a microcontroller unit (MCU) (104) controlled by a MCU clock. A channel selector (116) coupled to the MCU (104) provides a selected frequency channel while memory (106) downloads channel information which includes integer clock shifter ratios assigned to each channel. The integrated transceiver (102) includes a clock shifter circuit (120) which divides a reference signal into a clock frequency and provides this clock frequency to the MCU (104) as the MCU clock. The MCU (104) reprograms the clock shifter circuit (120) with one of the integer clock shifter ratios to generate a shifted MCU clock frequency if the selected frequency channel is susceptible to harmonics of the MCU clock.

摘要： Systems and techniques are described for applying a polar bias modulation having a phase component and an amplitude component to a signal amplified by a power amplifier. The power amplifier (PA) has a plurality of amplifier gain stages and is configured to amplify an input to create an amplifier output signal. The input to the power amplitude is phase modulated based upon the phase component of the polar bias modulation, but need not be amplitude modulated. Amplitude modulation is provided by logic that includes a detector configured to receive an indication of the amplifier output as a feedback signal, a control module configured to generate a control signal based upon both the feedback signal and the amplitude component of the polar bias modulation, and a bias circuit configured to adjust a bias signal associated with at least one of the plurality of amplifier gain stages in response to the control signal. Such a modulation scheme may be readily applied in enhanced data rate for global service mode (GSM) evolution (EDGE) applications, as well as in other environments that make use of polar modulation.
