Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a direct downconversion receiver architecture capable of providing the required signal gain and DC offset correction. SOLUTION: A direct downconversion receiver architecture has a DC loop to remove DC offset from the signal components, a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) to provide a range of gains, an automatic gain control (AGC) loop to provide gain control for the DVGA and RF/analog circuitry, and a serial bus interface (SBI) unit to provide controls for the RF/analog circuitry via a serial bus. The operating mode of the VGA loop may be selected based on the operating mode of the DC loop, since these two loops interact with one another. The duration of time the DC loop is operated in an acquisition mode may be selected to be inversely proportional to the DC loop bandwidth in the acquisition mode. The controls for some or all of the RF/analog circuitry may be provided via the serial bus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a circuit that minimizes a DC offset produced by leakage LO signals.SOLUTION: A DC offset cancellation circuit (95, 200, Cs, 180) in a receiver 100 cancels DC offsets caused by leaked LO (local oscillator) signals from a LO signal generator 105. The receiver first calibrates itself by using the DC offset cancellation circuit during a transmit mode. During the calibration, the DC offset cancellation circuit stores the DC offset voltage signal caused by the leaked LO signals. During a receiving mode when the receiver is receiving a signal, the receiver subtracts the stored DC offset voltage signal from the received signal to cancel the DC offsets caused by leaked LO signals.

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

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for implementing phase rotation at baseband frequency for transmit diversity.SOLUTION: An apparatus for implementing phase rotation at baseband frequency for transmit diversity may include a primary transmit signal path and a diversity transmit signal path. The primary transmit signal path and the diversity transmit signal path may receive a primary transmit signal. A signal selector within the diversity transmit signal path performs phase rotation with respect to the primary transmit signal while the primary transmit signal is at a baseband frequency, thereby producing a diversity transmit signal.

Abstract:
A system and method for canceling DC offset for Mobile Station Modems having direct conversion architectures. The present invention is a fast acquiring DC offset cancellation block that provides rapid and accurate DC offset estimates and cancellation techniques to support direct conversion architectures. The fast acquiring DC offset cancellation block combines four mechanisms to rapidly acquire and remove a DC offset estimate after power up, temperature changes, receiver frequency changes, and gain setting changes by increasing high pass loop bandwidth and adjusting DC offset levels at baseband. After removing the DC offset in large portions, the high pass loop bandwidth is decreased to fine tune the previous estimate and to remove any small variation in DC offset due to receiver self-mixing products.
