Abstract: A circuit for providing a fractional divider/multiplier using harmonic recombination may include a power amplifier, an oscillator coupled to the power amplifier, and a divider coupled to the oscillator. In one or more implementations, the divider is configured to generate one or more phases of a harmonic from the oscillator to reduce signal interference from the power amplifier. In one or more implementations, the divider includes a divide-by-M divider, where M is a positive integer, and an array of transconductance cells coupled to the output of the divide-by-M divider. In one or more implementations, the divider includes an inductor or a filter coupled to the output of the array of transconductance cells. In one or more implementations, the oscillator includes a logical gate and a resistor-capacitor circuit coupled in series feedback with a multi-stage ring oscillator. The oscillator may include a divider coupled to the multi-stage ring oscillator.

Abstract: A receiver includes circuitry configured to determine one or more first local oscillator (LO) harmonics that correspond to one or more first spectrum segments of a down-converted received signal based on characteristics of the received signal. The one or more first LO harmonics of the received signal are amplified by applying one or more first transconductance coefficients to one or more first harmonic selective transinductance amplifiers (TIAs) corresponding to the one or more first spectrum segments. Digitized outputs of the plurality of harmonic selective TIAs are calibrated based on an amount of signal leakage between the plurality of spectrum segments of the down-converted received signal.

Abstract: A circuit for an oscillator with common-mode resonance includes a first oscillator circuit and a second oscillator circuit coupled to the first oscillator circuit. Each of the first oscillator circuit or the second oscillator circuit includes a tank circuit, a cross-coupled transistor pair, and one or more capacitors. The tank circuit is formed by coupling a first inductor with a pair of first capacitors. The cross-coupled transistor pair is coupled to the tank circuit, and one or more second capacitors are coupled to the tank circuit and the cross-coupled transistor pair. Each of the first oscillator circuit or the second oscillator circuit allows tuning of a respective common mode (CM) resonance frequency (FCM) to be at twice a respective differential resonance frequency (FD).

Abstract: A radio receiver supporting cancellation of thermal and phase noise in a down-converted RF signal. An inbound RF signal and blocking signal are provided directly to a passive mixer for down-conversion into a first baseband signal having data, thermal noise, and reciprocal mixing (RM) noise components. The inbound signals are also provided to a transconductance circuit, the output of which is provided to a second passive mixer for conversion into a current signal having data and blocking signal components, and a RM image. The blocking signal component and the RM image are mixed with a second LO signal, derived from the blocking signal, to produce a RM noise cancellation signal. The data component of the current signal is converted into a second baseband signal having data and thermal noise components. The first baseband signal, second baseband signal and RM noise cancellation signal are then combined through harmonic recombination.
