  • Publication number: 20080125060
    Abstract: A wireless communication device. The wireless communication device comprises first and second programmable frequency dividers, a mixer, a modulator, a phase detector, and a variable controlled oscillator. The first programmable frequency divider divides the frequency of a reference signal by a factor N to generate a modulating signal. The second programmable frequency divider divides the reference signal by a factor M and outputs a frequency-divided signal. The facts N and M are positive integers. The mixer down-converting a transmission signal according the divided signal and outputs a translation-loop signal. The modulator modulates the modulating signal with baseband signals, and outputs a comparison signal. The phase detector detects a phase difference between the comparison signal and the translation-loop signal. The variable controlled oscillator modifies the transmission signals according to an output of the phase detector.

  • Patent number: 7146141
    Abstract: A direct conversion receiver with DC offset compensation. The receiver includes an antenna receiving a RF signal, a mixture module converting the RF signal to a baseband signal, a gain amplifier amplifying the baseband signal, an adder subtracting a DC offset current from the baseband signal, a DC offset cancellation circuit obtaining and converting a DC offset value to the DC offset current, a track-and-hold circuit receiving the baseband signal, holding and transferring a DC offset voltage to the DC offset current, and a switching circuit alternatively coupling and decoupling the DC offset cancellation and track-and-hold circuit to receive the baseband signal.
