Abstract: A radio frequency transmission module is adapted to generate a first signal to be transmitted and to convert the signal to a radio frequency carrier for its radio transmission, in an operational phase, and is adapted to generate a second signal and to convert the second signal to the radio frequency carrier, in a calibration phase. The module includes a calibration unit having a subsampler adapted to subsample the second converted signal and a calculation unit adapted to calculate Fourier Transform coefficients representative of the signal delivered by the subsampler, for the purposes of processing the first signal to be transmitted, in the operational phase, as a function of at least some of the Fourier coefficients calculated in the calibration phase.

Abstract: At least a first base signal and a second base signal are mutually in quadrature and both are capable of mutually exhibiting a quadrature error. These signals are used to formulate two pairs of delayed signals that includes a first delayed signal that is delayed with respect to the first base signal, a second signal delayed in phase opposition with respect to the first delayed signal, a third signal delayed with respect to the second base signal, and a fourth delayed signal in phase opposition with respect to the third delayed signal. The value of each of the delays is continuously adjusted using two differential signals arising from a direct or an indirect cross-mixing of the two pairs of delayed signals to obtain the four delayed signals virtually in quadrature.

Abstract: With a switch including at least one insulated-gate field-effect transistor, an analog input signal is delivered on the source of the transistor and the transistor is controlled on its gate synchronized with a clock signal to successively turn it on and off. On the conclusion of each half-period of the clock signal during which the transistor is off, a precharging capacitor is precharged at the start of the next half-period and for a predetermined precharge duration, with a predetermined precharge voltage. Then, for the remaining duration of the half-period, the precharged capacitor is connected between the source and the gate of the transistor to turn it on under the action of a gate-source voltage which is almost independent of the level of the input signal. At the end of the half-period, the gate of the transistor and the precharging capacitor are grounded.
