Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include determining an ambient temperature of an oscillator. The method may also include estimating an approximate frequency of operation of the oscillator. The method may additional include determining a process-based compensation to be applied to a resonator of the oscillator based on the approximate frequency. The method may further include setting a capacitance of a variable capacitor coupled to the resonator in order to compensate for temperature-dependent and process-dependent frequency variation of the oscillator based on the ambient temperature and the process-based compensation.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include determining a range of frequencies allocated to resource blocks to be transmitted during a subsequent sub-frame slot or sounding reference symbol sub-slot. The method may also include determining an approximate center frequency of the range of frequencies. The method may additionally include modulating resource blocks of the sub-frame or sounding reference symbol sub-slot at the approximate center frequency. The method may further include transmitting the modulated resource blocks at the approximate center frequency.

Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) for use in a personal area network synthesizer includes a delay cell (100), a first current amplifier (201, 203) for amplifying an input current, a resister capacitor (RC) tuning network (207, 209, 211) for varying the amount of amplification and delay of an output of the first current amplifier. A second current amplifier (213, 215) is then used for amplifying an output current from the RC tuning network. The invention includes a unique composite voltage variable capacitor (CVVC) (300) for precisely tuning the amount of delay presented by the delay cell. The unique topology of the delay cell (100) allows it to be readily used in voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) operable at frequencies above 1 GHz.
