Abstract:
A transmitter (108) converts a digital baseband signal input (150) for transmission by an antenna (114) to support multiple communication standards. An over-deviation phase multiplier (130) increases signal phase deviation by a factor of M. A digital phase modulator (176) applies trigonometric lookup tables. A digital intermediate frequency up-converter (132) up-shifts frequencies of desired signal content. First and second digital-to-analog converters (DACs) (134) and (136) use relatively low-bit operations, which add DAC noise (212). First and second low pass filters (138) and (140) apply rejection above frequencies of desired signal content. An analog I/Q modulator (142) converts from complex to real signals, adding an unwanted signal spaced from the desired signal content by an intermediate frequency multiple. A limiter (144) reduces amplitude modulated noise. An over-deviation phase divider (146) divides signal phase deviation by 1/M to reduce phase modulated noise.

Abstract:
A wireless transceiver includes a transmitter having a harmonic rejection mixer and an RF output phase-locked loop in a two step up-conversion architecture, and a direct conversion receiver. The transmitter includes a local oscillator for producing a signal at a multiple of an intermediate frequency, a quadrature modulator harmonic rejection mixer responsive to the signal at the multiple of the intermediate frequency for modulating in-phase and quadrature-phase base-band signals to produce an intermediate frequency signal, a switchable signal responsive to the intermediate frequency signal for producing a filtered intermediate frequency signal, and an RF output offset phase-locked loop responsive to the filtered intermediate frequency signal and the signal at the multiple of the intermediate frequency for producing an RF transmission signal. The harmonic rejection mixer reduces filtering requirements to facilitate a high level of circuit integration whi le the output offset phase-locked loop reduces the power consumption. TheThe switchability of the filter allows the utilisation of the transceiver for EGSM, DCS and PCS communication. The local oscillator may use a integer or fractional-N phase-locked loop.
