  • Patent number: 9712317
    Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for carrier synchronization in active load modulation for near field communications. A broadcast carrier is received from a remote device and mixed with a locally-generated carrier and modulated data. A carrier synchronization circuit synchronizes the locally-generated carrier with the broadcast carrier based on an identified phase error from a double Cartesian-to-polar mapping of the mixed locally-generated carrier and broadcast carrier. In some implementations, the system also includes a modulation suppression circuit for providing unmodulated carrier signals to the carrier synchronization circuit or suppressing modulation distortion to maintain frequency and phase tracking despite the presence of data.

  • Patent number: 9077366
    Abstract: Techniques and devices provide analog-to-digital conversion at two or more signal frequencies or frequency hands and can be used to construct multi-mode analog-to-digital converters in various circuits, including receivers and transceivers for wireless communications and radio broadcast environments. Adjustable analog-to-digital converters based on the described techniques can be configured to adjust circuit parameters to adapt the technical specifications of different input signals at different signal frequencies or frequency bands, such as FM, HD-radio, and DAB radio signals in radio receiver applications.

  • Patent number: 7230467
    Abstract: A circuit for generating stable signal edges includes an output driver circuit having a current path for varying a charge on a capacitor in response to an input signal and constant current generation circuitry for maintaining a constant current through the current path of the output driver circuit and varying the charge on the capacitor to produce an output signal with a stable edge.
