    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an architecture of a direct down conversion receiver capable of providing required signal gain and DC offset correction. SOLUTION: The architecture has a DC loop for removing DC offset from a signal component, a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) for providing a gain range, an automatic gain control (AGC) loop for performing a gain control relating to the DVGA and an RF/analog circuit, and a serial bus interface (SBI) unit for providing control to the RF/analog circuit via a serial bus. Since these two loops perform mutual interaction with each other in design and disposition of the DVGA, an operation mode of the VGA loop is selected based on an operation mode of the DC loop. Within a time period while the DC loop is operating by a capturing mode, selection is made so as to be operated in inverse proportion to a bandwidth of the DC loop in the capturing mode. The control relating to some or all of RF/analog circuits is provided via the serial bus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simplified VGA configuration using the fact that multiplication within a normal numerical domain can be performed by addition within a logarithmic domain.
    SOLUTION: The digital voltage gain amplifier (digital VGA) 132 operates within the logarithmic domain. Properties of the logarithmic domain are exploited to replace the complex multiplier of a conventional VGA 132 with a simple and relatively inexpensive adder 306. Additional techniques are described to significantly reduce the size of one or more lookup-tables LUTs implemented within the digital VGA 132. In this manner, a much more simple, lower-cost design of a digital VGA is achieved.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device to facilitate efficient use with a low frequency and low power for a sleep mode even when relatively large slot cycles are defined in a slotted paging system.SOLUTION: The technique includes reducing power in a wireless communication device for a first sleep period and then increasing power in the wireless communication device for an intermediate wake period after the first sleep period to estimate an error of a sleep clock. The method further includes reducing power in the wireless communication device for a second sleep period after the intermediate wake period. An intermediate wake mode implemented during the intermediate period can be used to estimate an error of a sleep mode without performing one or more tasks associated with an awake mode, such as demodulation.
