    Abstract: A low-power diversity receiver includes at least two receive paths, each of which is designated as a primary or secondary receive path. A primary receive path is compliant with system requirements (e.g., IS-98D requirements). A secondary receive path is not fully compliant with the system requirements and is designed for lower power, less area, and lower cost than the primary receive path. For a multi-antenna receiver, the two receive paths may be used to simultaneously process two received signals from two antennas. For a single-antenna receiver, either the primary or secondary receive path is selected, e.g., depending on whether or not large amplitude "jammers" are detected, to process a single input signal from one antenna. The receiver may include additional receive paths for additional frequency bands and/or GPS.

    Abstract: Techniques to reduce LO leakage by controlling the amplitude of LO signal based on the level of output signal after the frequency conversion process. An LO generator receives a VCO signal and generates an LO signal having a variable amplitude and a frequency that is related to the frequency of the VCO signal. A variable gain amplifier receives a control signal and adjusts the amplitude of the LO signal based on the control signal. The variable amplitude LO signal is used for frequency upconversion (e.g., direction upconversion) of an input signal (e.g., at baseband) to obtain an output signal (e.g., at RF). The relationship between LO signal amplitude and output signal level may be defined by a particular transfer function. In general, the LO signal is set higher for higher output signal level and is reduced proportionally for lower output signal level.

    Abstract: A signal generator includes first and second mixers, first and second phase shift networks, and a summer. The first and second mixers respectively receive and mix a quadrature and an inphase sinusoid at a first frequency with a second input sinusoid at a second frequency. The first and second phase shift networks respectively couple to the first and second mixers, receive the outputs from the first and second mixers, and generate first and second phase shift networks respectively couple to the first and second mixers, receive the outputs from the first and second mixers, and generate first and second phase shifted signals. The summer couples to the first and second phase shift networks and receives ans sums the first and second phase shifted signals to generate a first output sinusoid. A second summer may be coupled to the first and second phase shift networks to receive and sum third and fourth phase shifted signals (generated by the first and second phase shift networks, respectively) to generate a second output sinusoid. The first and second output sinusoids are in quadrature. A third phase shift network may be adapted to receive a first input sinusoidal at the first frequency and generate the inphase and quadrature sinusoids.
