Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a system product for mixing radio frequency signals are provided. In one aspect, the apparatus is configured to perform switching of switches based on first, second, third, and fourth phased half duty clock signals. The apparatus convolves a differential input signal on a differential input port with the first, second, third, and fourth phased half duty cycle clock signals to concurrently generate a differential in-phase output signal and a differential quadrature-phase output signal on a dual differential output port. The first, second, third, and fourth phased half duty cycle clock signals are of the same frequency and out of phase by a multiple of ninety degrees with respect to each other.

Abstract: Techniques for providing a transceiver with a sliding intermediate frequency (IF). In an aspect, a PLL generates a single local oscillator (LO) signal used for both up-conversion by a transmit (TX) signal path and down-conversion by a receive (RX) signal path, wherein the LO frequency is chosen as the TX carrier frequency. As the TX and RX carrier frequencies may generally differ by a variable amount, the RX signal path utilizing the (TX) LO frequency for down-conversion may be characterized as having a “sliding” IF. To accommodate the sliding IF receiver architecture, specific processing functions such as charge sampling, discrete-time analog band-pass filtering, and sub-sampling analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) are described.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments disclosed are directed to power and impedance measurement circuits that may be used to measure power and/or impedance are described. A measurement circuit may include a sensor and a computation unit. The sensor may sense (i) a first voltage signal across a series circuit coupled to a load to obtain a first sensed signal and (ii) a second voltage signal at a designated end of the series circuit to obtain a second sensed signal. The sensor may mix (i) a first version of the first sensed signal with a first version of the second sensed signal to obtain a first sensor output and (ii) a second version of the first sensed signal with a second version of the second sensed signal to obtain a second sensor output. The computation unit may determine the impedance and/or delivered power at the designated end of the series circuit based on the sensor outputs.

Abstract: Disclosed are frequency dividers, methods, apparatus, and other implementations, including a frequency divider that includes at least one input line to deliver at least one signal with a first frequency, a divider stage comprising multiple divider active components to produce output signals each with a second frequency equal to substantially half the first frequency, and an input stage electrically coupled to the divider stage to enable operation of the divider stage, the input stage including multiple additional active components. Each of the output signals is electrically coupled to an input of a different corresponding component of the multiple additional active components to electrically actuate the respective different corresponding components such that each of the multiple additional active components is periodically in an ON state while during the same time at least another of the multiple additional active components of the input stage is in an OFF state.

Abstract: A parallel path frequency divider (PPFD) includes a low power frequency divider and a high speed latch. A first portion of an oscillating input signal present on an input node of the PPFD is communicated to the divider and a second portion is communicated to the latch. The divider generates a frequency divided enable signal that is communicated to the latch. The latch generates a divided down output signal based on the oscillating input signal and the enable signal. The output signal is insensitive to phase noise present on the enable signal as long as the phase noise on the enable signal is less than one-half of the period of oscillation of the oscillating input signal. Because the noise generated by the low power frequency divider is not propagated to the output signal generated by the PPFD, the PPFD generates low noise, frequency divided signals with relatively low power consumption.
