    Abstract: A broadband tuner includes a tracking filter with calibration to compensate for component errors and drift. The filters use off-die inductors that are preferably within a system-in-package (SIP) with other critical tuner components, which produces a highly integrated tuner front end with high Q filters within a single package. High voltage varactors with a large tuning range can be used for variable capacitors. The integration of the tuner into a SIP allows the tuner design to be optimized for cost and performance while keeping the critical RF layout requirements within the tuner. A configurable tuner front end enables modes for low noise, high linearity, good input return loss (S11) across the entire RF band, and applying a test tone in the calibration mode. The switchable mode enables the tuner to be effective during weak terrestrial reception, strong terrestrial reception, and connection to a cable plant.

    Abstract: An LO generation circuit generates an LO signal by doubling and quadrupling the frequency of a VCO signal. The frequency doubling and quadrupling provides high VCO-RF isolation as well as suppression of spurious noise signals in the LO output. The frequency doubler takes a quadrature signal input and utilizes mixer cores having double balanced transistor pairs to provide an output signal having doubled frequency but maintaining the phase balance of the input signal.
