Method And System For A Low Noise Amplifier With Tolerance To Large Inputs

View page
US Patent:
7554404, Jun 30, 2009
Filed:
May 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/754472
Inventors:
Razieh Roufoogaran - Venice CA, US
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
H03F 3/45
US Classification:
330261, 330253
Abstract:
Methods and systems for a low noise amplifier with tolerance to large inputs are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include providing an individual current source for each input transistor to a low noise amplifier (LNA), wherein the individual current sources may be isolated from each other when the LNA is turned off. The individual current sources may also form a common current source for the input transistors when the LNA is turned on. Accordingly, the input transistors to the LNA may float when the LNA is turned off, thereby coupling the input signal voltage to the source and drain terminals. The individual current sources may be isolated from each other by a coupling transistor that is turned off. When the LNA is turned on, the coupling transistor may be turned on to couple the individual current sources to each other to form the common current source for the input transistors.

Qiang Li - Irvine CA, US
Razieh Roufoogaran - Venice CA, US
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
H03B 1/00
US Classification:
327108, 327 63, 327 69, 327 77, 327 90
Abstract:
According to one exemplary embodiment, an amplitude compensation circuit includes a first composite programmable buffer for receiving a first input signal with a first input amplitude. The amplitude compensation circuit further includes a second composite programmable buffer for receiving a second input signal with a second input amplitude. The amplitude compensation circuit also includes a feedback circuit coupled to respective outputs of the first and second composite programmable buffers. According to this embodiment, the feedback circuit compares a first output amplitude of the first composite programmable buffer with a reference voltage and a second output amplitude of the second composite programmable buffer with the reference voltage and provides first and second control signals for adjusting the respective gains of the first and second composite programmable buffers so as to reduce respective differences between the first and second output amplitudes and the reference voltage.

US Patent:
7634027, Dec 15, 2009
Filed:
Dec 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/618719
Inventors:
Arya Behzad - Poway CA, US
Qiang Li - Irvine CA, US
Razieh Roufoogaran - Venice CA, US
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
H04L 25/06
US Classification:
375319, 375298, 375320
Abstract:
Certain aspects of a method and system for independent in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) loop amplitude control for quadrature generators may include determining an amplitude voltage associated with an in-phase (I) component and a quadrature (Q) component of a generated signal. A DC reference voltage associated with the I component and the Q component may be determined. The determined amplitude voltage may be compared with the determined reference voltage to generate a control signal. The amplitude mismatch between the I component and the Q component may be compensated by controlling a biasing current of one or more programmable buffers associated with one or both of the I component and the Q component, based on the generated control signal.

Filed:
Apr 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/112258
Inventors:
Razieh Roufoogaran - Venice CA, US
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
H03H 7/42
H01P 1/10
H04B 1/40
US Classification:
333 25, 333101
Abstract:
Methods and systems for a flip chip configurable RF front end with an off-chip balun may include bonding a balun package to a single integrated circuit (IC) comprising an integrated transmitter and a receiver.

Abstract:
A method and system for calibrating a plurality of modules in a communication system is provided. The method may include selecting a plurality of modules with at least one output signal and calibrating an amplitude of each selected module to be within a specified range if the amplitude is out of the specified range via a gain control processing circuit of the selected module, wherein the plurality of modules may be calibrated in an order starting with a first module located at an input of a signal path and ending with a module located at an output of the signal path. The DC component and amplitude of the envelope of the output signal may be detected by circuitry within the selected module. Muxes may be utilized to route the DC component and amplitude of the envelope to a feedback control processing circuit.
