  • Patent number: 8737936
    Abstract: An amplitude modulation circuit in a polar transmitter includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a filter, a gm stage, and a calibration module. The DAC is arranged to be coupled to an amplitude modulation signal input in a normal mode. The filter is coupled to the DAC, and the gm stage is coupled to the filter. The calibration module has an input coupled to the gm stage, and an output coupled to a node on a path between the DAC and the gm stage. A method for calibrating an amplitude offset in the polar transmitter includes: generating an amplitude offset calibration signal according to an amplitude modulation signal generated from the gm stage; and transmitting the amplitude offset calibration signal via the output of the calibration module to a node on a path between the DAC and the gm stage so as to calibrate the amplitude offset.

  • Patent number: 8385235
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of a full division duplex system comprises a receiver, a transmitter and an auxiliary circuit. The receiver receives an inbound RF signal of a first band to generate an inbound baseband signal, and the transmitter up converts an outbound baseband signal by an oscillation signal to generate an outbound RF signal of a second band for transmission. The auxiliary circuit calculates leakages from the outbound RF signal to generate a blocker replica, in which a LNA is coupled to a non-conductive coupling path extended from the input of receiver to collect leakages from the outbound RF signal to produce an induction signal. The induction signal is down converted to perform an adjustment, and thereafter up converted again to generate the blocker replica. In this way, the inbound baseband signal is generated from a subtraction of the inbound RF signal and the blocker replica.

  • Publication number: 20110140790
    Abstract: A frequency synthesizer includes a fractional N phase locked loop (PLL), a sigma delta modulator, a phase adjustor and an adjust signal generator. The fractional N PLL generates an output signal according to an adjusted reference signal. A frequency of the output signal is a multiple of a frequency of a reference signal. The fractional N PLL includes a crystal oscillator generating the reference signal and a divider frequency dividing the output signal according to the multiple to generate a feedback signal. The sigma delta modulator generates a control signal to adjust the multiple accordingly. The phase adjustor adjusts a phase of the reference signal according to an adjust signal to generate the adjusted reference signal. The adjust signal generator generates the adjust signal according to an accumulation result of the sigma delta modulator.
