Patent number: 9088471Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for performing quadrature combining and adjusting. One example circuit may include first through fourth mixing circuits. The first mixing circuit may multiply a radio frequency signal with a first local oscillating signal to generate a first frequency converted signal. The second mixing circuit may multiply a radio frequency (RF) signal with a second local oscillating signal, which may be about 90° out of phase with the first local oscillating signal, to generate a second frequency converted signal. The third and fourth mixing circuits may multiply the RF signal with the second and first signals, respectively, to generate third and fourth frequency converted signals, respectively. A first combining circuit may combine the first and third frequency converted signals, and a second combining circuit may combine the second and fourth frequency converted signals.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2014Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Hong Sun Kim, James Ian Jaffee, Paul Sheehy, Jeremy Darren Dunworth, Cheng-Han Wang, Prasad Srinivasa Siva Gudem, Ojas Mahendra Choksi, Jungdong Park

Publication number: 20130336143Abstract: Techniques are provided for reducing mismatch between the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) channels of a communications transmitter or receiver. In an exemplary embodiment, separate voltages are applied to bias the gates or bulks of the transistors in a mixer of the I channel versus a mixer of the Q channel. In another exemplary embodiment, separate voltages are applied to bias the common-mode reference voltage of a transimpedance amplifier associated with each channel. Techniques are further provided for deriving bias voltages to minimize a measured residual sideband in a received or transmitted signal, or to optimize other parameters of the received or transmitted signal. Techniques for generating separate bias voltages using a bidirectional and unidirectional current digital-to-analog converter (DAC) are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2013Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Ojas Mahendra Choksi, Frederic Bossu
