  • Publication number: 20200373964
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a signal calibration method, apparatus and device generated based on an imbalance of I path and Q path. The method includes sending a cosine signal and a sine signal through a signal generator, transmitting the cosine signal and the sine signal in the I path and the Q path respectively, the cosine signal and the sine signal being configured to loop back to a signal receiving direction after passing through a transmitting amplifier; processing a signal obtained by a down converter in the signal receiving direction; performing a phase adjustment and an amplitude adjustment by adjusting the signal generator, gain amplifiers of I path and Q path analog domains, and a corresponding digital domain, so as to determine an appropriate phase cancellation value and an appropriate amplitude cancellation value for an image signal; and calibrating the image signal corresponding to the signal to be calibrated.

  • Patent number: 10804918
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mismatch calibration circuit for a current steering DAC of a SoC baseband chip and a SoC baseband chip. The mismatch calibration circuit includes current mirror compensation circuits, a calibration switching switch module, a calibration resistor, a voltage detection module, and a calibration control module. The resistance of the calibration resistor is 2N?1 times the resistance of the load resistor, where N is the number of MSBs. The number of the current mirror compensation circuits is equal to the number of the MSB current mirror branches. The current mirror compensation circuits are connected in parallel with the MSB current mirror branches to form current mirror parallel branches. The present disclosure minimizes mismatch error between the output currents of the current mirror array in the SoC baseband chip of 28 nm process or even a smaller process dimension, thereby improving conversion accuracy of the DAC.

  • Publication number: 20200278944
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dual-edge triggered ring buffer and a communication system. The dual-edge triggered ring buffer includes a logic clock generation module and a data writing module. The logic clock generation module is configured to generate a corresponding first logic clock signal upon detecting an input of the trigger signal corresponding to the multiple first trigger signal input terminals, or to generate a corresponding second logic clock signal upon detecting an input of the trigger signal corresponding to the multiple second trigger signal input terminals. The data writing module is configured to write data output from the external system through the multiple corresponding input terminals according to the first logic clock signal or the second logic clock signal.

  • Publication number: 20200162096
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a capacitor array for an analog-to-digital converter, a successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter and a capacitor array board. The capacitor array includes a control logic generation circuit, a control code logic conversion circuit, a first sub-capacitor array and a second sub-capacitor array configured to form different regions of a high-order bit region and a low-order bit region. In the present disclosure, the capacitances of the second capacitor units are equal, so that the second capacitor units can be sequentially switched. Thus, no matter which bit in the second binary code changes, it will not cause a large number of the second capacitor units to switch together, thereby reducing conversion error. In addition, the capacitor array is divided in regions, which avoids the problem of a large number of parallel branches in case where only the second sub-capacitor array is arranged.

  • Publication number: 20200127620
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a power amplifier and an electrical device. The two-stage power amplifier architecture is tuned staggered before power combining. A previous stage matching network and its input matching are split into a cascaded staggered tuning, such that the center frequency is at frequency point 1 less than the design frequency point and frequency point 2 greater than design frequency point, and then the power combining stage is tuned at the design frequency point. At advanced process nodes (such as 65 nm or below), compared with the known architecture, in-band signal quality and out-of-band filtering effect of the power amplifier chip integrating this architecture will be better when using the same number of transformers (same area), the reliability will be better. Due to its good flatness within the band, this architecture is especially suitable for carrier aggregation communication occasions.
