  • Publication number: 20160079985
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for generating in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) local oscillator (LO) signals that may be synthesized using signals output from a divide-by-odd-number frequency divider (e.g., Div3 or Div5). This may be accomplished by deriving each period of the LO signal from a selected output signal of the frequency divider such that the average phase over multiple LO periods yields desired I/Q LO signals. This operation may save current because a phase interpolation circuit need not be used and moreover, provide I/Q LO signals having equal gain. Certain aspects of the present disclosure also provide a “dummy” LO signal, which may be used to in conjunction with a “dummy load” to present constant load impedance to a low noise amplifier (LNA) during time gaps (periods of an oscillating signal input to the frequency divider) in which the I/Q LO signals are all off.

  • Patent number: 7545304
    Abstract: A distributed arbitrary waveform generator (DAWG) synthesizes the target waveform using a series of narrow pulses generated by a number of pulse generators. To achieve this, it uses an input trigger signal to control all the pulse generators, each of which generates a narrow pulse (impulses) at a specific sample time, and then all the impulses are combined to generate the output waveform. The input trigger signal is distributed to each pulse generator by a trigger distribution network. Impulses generated by pulse generators can be tuned in both pulse amplitude and width, and the spacing between them can be tuned by the trigger distribution network. Therefore the waveforms generated are completely reconfigurable.
