  • Publication number: 20070155413
    Abstract: A wireless telecommunication device, a method of frequency calibrating a wireless telecommunication device, and a computer program are provided. The method comprises: receiving a reference radio signal of the wireless telecommunications system; frequency synchronizing the wireless telecommunication device with the reference radio signal by adjusting a control parameter controlling a reference frequency generated by a reference frequency generator; measuring a temperature parameter characterizing the temperature of the reference frequency generator; and generating calibration information for calibrating the wireless telecommunication device on the basis of the control parameter and the temperature parameter.

  • Publication number: 20070153944
    Abstract: A system, a wireless telecommunication device, a method and a computer program are provided. The system comprises: a frequency generator for supplying a frequency reference for the wireless telecommunication device, the frequency generator further being configured to generate a first frequency and a second frequency simultaneously, the first frequency having a first response to the temperature of the frequency generator and the second frequency having a second response to the temperature of the frequency generator, the second response being different from the first response; a temperature parameter generator, connected to the frequency generator, configured to generate a temperature parameter proportional to the temperature of the frequency generator by using the first frequency and the second frequency; and a frequency controller configured to adjust the frequency reference on the basis of the temperature parameter.

  • Publication number: 20060084398
    Abstract: An approach provides for predictive and continuous supply voltage adjustment of a Radio Frequency (RF) power amplifier in a wireless terminal. A voltage value is predictively determined to continuously control a voltage converter of the wireless terminal for maximizing RF power amplifier efficiency. A control signal is output based on the determined voltage value, wherein, in response to the control signal, the voltage converter outputs a power amplifier supply voltage of the wireless terminal. The above arrangement has particular application to a cellular handset for improved battery life.
