摘要： An apparatus for generating an output signal having a particular frequency includes an oscillator, a first tuning module, and a second tuning module. The oscillator generates an output signal associated with an output frequency. When coupled to the oscillator, the first tuning module is capable of inducing, within a first amount of time, a change in the output frequency of a particular magnitude. When coupled to the oscillator, the second tuning module is capable of inducing, within a second amount of time, a change in the output frequency of the same magnitude. The second amount of time is greater than the first amount of time. The selector couples a selected one of the first tuning module and the second tuning module to the oscillator based on a difference between a frequency-divided version of the output signal and a reference signal.

摘要： Systems and methods which provide a multimode tuner architecture implementing direct frequency conversion are shown. Embodiments provide a highly integrated configuration wherein low noise amplifier, tuner, analog and digital channel filter, and analog demodulator functionality are provided in a single integrated circuit. A LNA of embodiments implements a multi-path configuration with seamless switching to provide desired gain control while meeting noise and linearity design parameters. Embodiments of the invention implement in-phase and quadrature (IQ) equalization and a multimode channelization filter architecture to facilitate the use of direct frequency conversion. Embodiments implement spur avoidance techniques for improving tuner system operation and output using a clock signal generation architecture in which a system clock, sampling clock frequencies, local oscillator (LO) reference clock frequencies, and/or the like are dynamically movable.

摘要： High conversion rates are achieved in an analog to digital converter by tailoring the substrate type to specific operational elements of the converter. Embodiments place sample and hold processing circuitry on a substrate type having properties that allow for faster processing at high sampling/clock frequencies. Other operational elements of the converter are constructed on at least one other substrate type in keeping with the remainder of the circuitry for which the converter is being implemented. The sample and hold substrate may be implemented on any material which is capable of faster processing, such as silicon germanium, gallium arsenide, silicon bipolar, BiCMOS, and the like. Other portions may be implemented on a more CMOS substrate. Such systems and methods are able to implement analog-to digital conversion for broadband signals at high speeds without the need for extensive timing compensation, while also avoiding problems due to noise from further digital processing circuitry.
