Filed:
Dec 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/331219
Inventors:
Vance H. Peterson - Boca Raton FL, US
Daniel Edward Brueske - Fort Lauderdale FL, US
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H04B 1/26
US Classification:
455323, 455313, 455314, 455319, 455216, 327355, 327116
Abstract:
A zero intermediate frequency (ZIF) radio frequency (RF) digital mixer () includes a low noise amplifier (LNA) (), a first RF mixer stage () for mixing an RF signal from the at least one LNA with a first local oscillator signal operating a first predetermined frequency. A second RF mixer stage () is then utilized for mixing in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) digital signals from the first RF mixer stage () with a plurality of second local oscillator signals (LO) operating at a second predetermined frequency. The invention significantly improves current drain by eliminating the need for a linear transconductance stage while still maintaining high degrees of isolation and linearity.

International Classification:
H04L027/36
US Classification:
375/298000
Abstract:
A method for suppressing a carrier in a quadrature modulator includes applying a first set of four correction signal pairs to a quadrature modulator and detecting a first set of four output signals, identifying a first optimum correction signal pair among the first set of four correction signal pairs, and applying the first optimum correction signal pair to the quadrature modulator for suppressing a carrier. An apparatus for suppressing a carrier in a quadrature modulator includes an amplifier, a radio frequency detector coupled to the amplifier, an analog-to-digital converter coupled to the radio frequency detector, a correction circuit coupled to the analog-to-digital converter; the correction circuit performing a search algorithm during a training period and determining a pair of channel correction values for suppressing a carrier; and a pair of summers coupled to the correction circuit.

US Patent:
56049269, Feb 18, 1997
Filed:
Mar 7, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/399784
Inventors:
Gary L. Pace - Boca Raton FL
Vance H. Peterson - Boca Raton FL
Edgar H. Callaway - Boca Raton FL
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H04B 130
US Classification:
455260
Abstract:
A phase locked loop (PLL) circuit for use as a demodulator and other applications. The PLL circuit (200) comprises a phase detector (210), a transconductance amplifier (212) and a current controlled oscillator (ICO) (214). The phase detector has two signal inputs and two outputs, and detects a phase difference between signals at its inputs. A capacitor C1 is connected to the output of phase detector (210) and develops an output voltage signal vo(t). A transconductance amplifier (212) is coupled to the capacitor C1 and converts the output voltage signal vo(t) to an output current signal. The ICO (214) is coupled to the transconductance amplifier (212) and the second output of the phase detector (210) and generates an output signal having a frequency which is proportional to an input current signal. The output signal of the ICO (214) is coupled to the second signal input of the phase detector (212).

Differential Feed-Forward Amplifier Power Control For A Radio Receiver System

View page
US Patent:
55640923, Oct 8, 1996
Filed:
Nov 4, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/334092
Inventors:
Walter Grandfield - Lake Worth FL
Vance H. Peterson - Boca Raton FL
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H04B 106
H04B 700
US Classification:
4552321
Abstract:
A selective call receiver (100) includes a radio frequency amplifier (202) having an output power level that is controllable. A radio frequency level sensor (500) generates a sensor output signal in response to an input signal level received at the radio frequency amplifier (202). The sensor output signal is conditioned by a filter (401, 402) to generate a control signal representing an effective value of the input signal level received at the radio frequency amplifier (202). The control signal is then coupled to an amplifier output power level adjustment circuit (403) that operates to adjust a power gain of the radio frequency amplifier (202) in an unconditionally stable feed-forward manner such that the output power level remains substantially constant when the input signal level sensed by the radio frequency level sensor (500) substantially reaches or exceeds a predetermined signal overload level.
