View page
US Patent:
6560296, May 6, 2003
Filed:
May 4, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/304639
Inventors:
Jack Glas - Basking Ridge NJ
Vladimir Prodanov - New Providence NJ
Maurice Tarsia - Colonia NJ
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H04L 2720
US Classification:
375308, 375261, 375279, 375298
Abstract:
The modulator includes an oscillator generating signals, each having a different phase, and a selector receiving digital data. When the digital data received by the selector changes logic state, the selector supplies a first and second plurality of signals generated by the oscillator to first and second non-linear amplifiers, respectively. An adder then adds the output of each amplifier to generate a radio frequency output.

US Classification:
330258, 330259
Abstract:
A system, method and apparatus are disclosed for common-mode voltage feedback. The preferred system includes a plurality of differential circuits, a corresponding plurality of common-mode voltage detectors, a corresponding plurality of buffer circuits, and a common-mode control circuit. Each differential circuit is operative to produce a first differential output voltage and a second differential output voltage. Each corresponding common-mode voltage detector is operative to provide a common-mode voltage from the first differential output voltage and the second differential output voltage. The common-mode control circuit provides a control voltage signal from the common-mode voltage and from a reference voltage. Each buffer circuit is operative to adjust the corresponding common-mode voltage using the control voltage signal to provide a common-mode feedback voltage signal to the corresponding differential circuit.

Buffer Interface Architecture

US Patent:
6693469, Feb 17, 2004
Filed:
Apr 23, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/128140
Inventors:
Vladimir I. Prodanov - New Providence NJ
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H03K 300
US Classification:
327108, 327112, 327170, 326 56, 326 58
Abstract:
An up to 3Ã breakdown voltage tristate capable integrated circuit CMOS buffer includes a level shifter circuit and a driver circuit. The driver stage includes a series connected n-channel and p-channel cascode stacks, each including at least three transistors. Dynamic gate biasing is provided for the third n-channel and p-channel cascode transistors to prevent voltage overstress of the cascode transistors. The level shifter circuit includes at least one pseudo N-MOS inverter including an input transistor, a protective cascode stack including at least one n-channel cascode transistor, and a load transistor. The level shifter provides at least one voltage shifted input signal to the driver.

System And Method For Differential Data Detection

View page
US Patent:
6904538, Jun 7, 2005
Filed:
Nov 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/989272
Inventors:
Jack P. Glas - Basking Ridge NJ, US
Vladimir I. Prodanov - New Providence NJ, US
Assignee:
Agere Systems Inc. - Allentown PA
International Classification:
H04B001/04
US Classification:
713401, 4551142, 455110, 4551151, 375298
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards a data detector for deriving a data signal from an incoming radio frequency input. The data detector comprises a delay logic which receives an unfiltered signal in quadrature and in-phase components, and applies a delay to each of the in-phase and quadrature phase components of the unfiltered input signal. The detector further comprises a first multiplication logic that multiplies the delayed in-phase component of the unfiltered signal by the quadrature phase component of the unfiltered signal to obtain a first result, and a second multiplication logic that multiplies the delayed quadrature phase component of the unfiltered signal by the in-phase component of the unfiltered signal to obtain a second result. Finally, an adder adds the first result with the second result to generate a data signal. In alternative embodiments a post detection correction algorithm may be added to improve performance.

System And Method For An If-Sampling Transceiver

View page
US Patent:
7020221, Mar 28, 2006
Filed:
Nov 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/989605
Inventors:
Jack P. Glas - Basking Ridge NJ, US
Vladimir I. Prodanov - New Providence NJ, US
Assignee:
Agere Systems, Inc. - Allentown PA
International Classification:
H03H 17/30
US Classification:
375329, 375316
Abstract:
The present invention is directed toward a radio, and method for receiving radio frequency signals. The radio comprises an input signal at a first intermediate frequency, an intermediate sampling architecture, a quantizer and a baseband converter. The intermediate frequency sampling architecture comprises receiving the input signal, passing the first intermediate frequency signal through a first filter characterized by steep selectivity and narrow bandpass, converting the filtered signal to a second intermediate frequency and passing the second intermediate frequency signal through a second filter having a bandpass characteristic, but without the steep selectivity characterizing the first filter. The radio further comprises a third filter following the baseband conversion which filters out adjacent channel harmonics to obtain a wanted data signal.

Polyphase Filter With Low-Pass Response

View page
US Patent:
7031690, Apr 18, 2006
Filed:
Nov 14, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/294411
Inventors:
Vladimir Prodanov - New Providence NJ, US
Peter Kiss - Morristown NJ, US
Mihai Banu - New Providence NJ, US
Assignee:
Agere Systems Inc. - Allentown PA
International Classification:
H04B 1/00
US Classification:
455338, 455307, 330107
Abstract:
A complex low-pass filter that reduces the influence of component mismatch. The filter includes a first filter section for effecting a first single pole transfer function and a second filter section for effecting a second single pole transfer function, where the first and the second single pole transfer functions collectively define a conjugate pair of poles. In higher order low-pass filters, an optimal cascade order follows a shoestring pattern.

Automatic Biasing Of A Power Device For Linear Operation

View page
US Patent:
7084705, Aug 1, 2006
Filed:
Jun 1, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/856993
Inventors:
Vladimir Prodanov - New Providence NJ, US
Assignee:
Agere Systems Inc. - Allentown PA
International Classification:
H03G 3/10
US Classification:
330285
Abstract:
A power device(s) is biased and operates in Class-AB. Crossover distortion is minimized over a broad range of operating conditions, not only for a nominal case. The bias current of a power transistor is automatically adjusted in response to process and temperature variations. Preferably, the adjustment is performed using an error-feedback arrangement. An exemplary ‘rule’ for bias adjustment involves satisfying a proportionality relationship between the small-signal device transconductance at the operating point, and a maximum device transconductance. A dual replica master-slave control architecture is utilized. A self-adapting circuit is provided to change the bias current (or voltage) so that the value is always the optimum value, irrespective of operating temperature and/or process variations. Self-biasing is introduced wherein no manual adjustment is necessary. A stable amplifier is formed having great robustness to process and temperature variations.
