摘要： A device and method of duplex audio communication over a broadcast channel are disclosed. Low-power transmission over a broadcast channel is permissible for personal use as long as the transmitted power level is below a level allowed by respective regulatory. For example, low-power FM transmitter can be used to provide a wireless audio link between two audio devices. One such application scenario is a wireless speakerphone used as an audio extension from a cellphone for group conference purposes. Such applications face issues of potential interference from other users of the same channel and the need of manually selecting and tuning a pair of channels. The device and method disclosed in the present invention use the clear channel technique to automatically select an un-occupied channel for the transmit side and utilizes an identification embedded in a sub-channel to allow the receiver to automatically tune to the channel used by the transmitter. The clear channels may be determined by respective transceivers or determined by a master transceiver.

摘要： A system and method of clock generation to provide divided-by-2 clocks with prescribed phase shifts are disclosed. In a communication system with high-order harmonic mixing, the system requires LO signals with a set of prescribed phase shifts, such as 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°, or 0°, 60° and 120°. Often, the clock generation system involves a divide-by-2 divider to derive the clock signals with the prescribed phase shifts. In a conventional implementation of the divide-by-2 divider, the system is subject to phase uncertainty in the output signal. Accordingly, a system comprises multiple latch pairs and respective differential clocks are used to generate the clocks with the set of correct prescribed phase shifts.

摘要： Systems and methods for bandwidth reduction in polar modulation systems are described. Detection of problematic signal transition paths may performed, and then, dependent on the signal path, a correction signal may be generated and added to the signal to improve system performance. In typical implementations, detection of problematic signal paths may be performed by determining whether the signal transitions through a particular region in the signal constellation, such as a region about the origin, or whether the signal instantaneous frequency exceeds a predetermined threshold, and then responsively generating the correction signal.

摘要： A low noise VCO circuit for an LC VCO circuit comprising MOS varactors is disclosed. The LC VCO circuit usually comprises an LC tuning circuit coupled with a pair of cross-coupled transistors used as a negative impedance element. A pair of varactors is used to provide fine tuning by applying a control voltage to the varactor. Since the varactor is also coupled to the pair of cross-coupled transistor, the process variation and temperature change may affect the bias voltage coupled to the pair of varactors. Therefore, a bias circuit usually is used to alleviate the impact of process variation and temperature change associated with the pair of transistor. Nevertheless, the bias voltage typically is implemented by providing a current flowing through a resistor, wherein the current is generated by a current source. The noise associated with the current source will affect the performance of the VCO circuit. A low noise VCO circuit is disclosed which utilizes a low noise bias circuit. The low noise bias circuit comprises a current source, a load device and a voltage divider wherein the load device is coupled to the voltage divider in parallel. The load device may be implemented using a bipolar transistor or a diode-connected MOS device.

摘要： FM radio transmitter is being widely used in portable devices as a convenient way to output audio contents to ubiquitously available FM radio receivers in cars or homes. However, the signal from the FM radio transmitter may be interfering with the signal being broadcast by an FM radio station. A scan system is incorporated into the FM radio transmitter to quickly and reliably identify a vacant channel for the FM radio transmitter to use. The scan system measures on-channel and out-of-channel signal quality and selects a best channel for transmission based on the measured on-channel and out-of-channel signal quality. The scan system is also incorporated into an FM radio receiver to quickly and reliably tune to a valid channel. The scan system selects the valid channel based on the measured on-channel and out-of-channel signal quality.
