摘要： A mixing method and mixer structure provide a circuit topology suitable for use in radio receivers, transmitters, tuners, instrumentation systems, telemetry systems, and other systems and devices performing frequency conversion in either homodyne or heterodyne implementations. The inventive mixer may be used for wireless communication devices including radios, cellular telephones, and telemetry systems whether land, sea, airborne, or space based, and whether fixed or mobile. The mixer provides superior intermodulation and harmonic distortion suppression and features excellent conversion loss, noise figure, port match, and port isolation as a result of its circuit topology. The mixer device circuit combines the advantages of series mixing FETs, a triple balanced design using a balanced passive reflection transformer, a precise local oscillator phase splitter, and square wave gate drive having high slew rate signal characteristics to achieve high levels of performance. It is power conservative and offers the advantage of long battery life in portable devices such as portable radios and cellular telephones as it requires only a modest amount of DC and local oscillator drive power, and is useful for operation over at least a multi-decade bandwidth.

摘要： An apparatus for controlling a power amplifier configured to amplify radio frequency (RF) signal includes a detector and a controller. The detector is configured to detect a power level of the RF signal with respect to a predetermined power threshold and to generate a corresponding detection signal. The controller is configured to provide a control voltage to an output transistor of the amplifier based on the detection signal. The control voltage has a low voltage value, which is substantially the same as a value of a supply voltage, when the detection signal indicates that the power level is below the power threshold, and the control voltage has a high voltage value when the detection signal indicates that the power level is above the power threshold. The controller generates the high voltage value by boosting the supply voltage.

摘要： A unbalanced mixer capable of operation in the absence of DC bias is disclosed herein. The mixer includes an input or local oscillator (LO) port for receiving an input signal. A first transistor has a control terminal coupled to the mixer input port, and an output terminal coupled to a first signal port of the mixer. The mixer further includes a resonator circuit, connected between the transistor control and output terminals, for providing signal isolation between the mixer input port and the first signal port. In a preferred implementation the resonator circuit comprises an inductive element in parallel with a first intrinsic capacitance of the transistor. The mixer may also include a diplexer circuit for coupling signal energy of a first frequency between the output terminal and the first signal port, and for coupling signal energy of a second frequency between the output terminal and a second signal port. A series resonant circuit, connected between the input or LO port and the transistor control terminal, may also be provided for amplifying the input signal. In a preferred implementation the series resonant circuit comprises an input inductive element and an input intrinsic capacitance of the first transistor.

The power amplifiers are configured to provide corresponding signals associated with the different types of network access points, each signal having at least one parameter different than a corresponding parameter in another signal. The switch is configured to select one of the signals to provide an output signal. The power detecting circuit is configured to detect power of the output signal, and includes multiple states corresponding to the multiple different types of network access points. The power detecting circuit outputs a voltage level within the same voltage range for the signals in response to the multiple states corresponding to the different types of network access points with which the signals are associated.
