20120112798 | CURRENT-TO-VOLTAGE CONVERTER, RECEIVER, METHOD FOR PROVIDING A VOLTAGE SIGNAL AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING A RECEIVED SIGNAL - A current-to-voltage converter for providing a voltage signal based on a current signal has a first active stage having an input and an output. The first active stage is configured to receive the current signal at its input and provide the voltage signal at its output. In addition, the current-to-voltage converter has a second active stage that is coupled between the output of the first active stage and the input of the first active stage. The second active stage is configured to provide the input of the first active stage with a feedback signal that frequency-selectively counteracts amplification, by the first active stage, of signal components of a current signal applied to the input of the first active stage that have a frequency outside of a prescribed useful frequency band. | 05-10-2012 |
20120169419 | Receiver with Wide Dynamic Range and Low Power Consumption - Some embodiments of the invention relate a circuit having a first and a second electrically connected voltage domains, respectively biased at different supply voltages (e.g., the first voltage domain biased at a low bias voltage and the second voltage domain biased at a second, different supply voltage). The apparatus further comprises a first DC current source coupled to one of the voltage domains (e.g., the first voltage domain having a low DC voltage potential) and a second DC current source coupled to the other voltage domain (e.g., the second voltage domain having a high DC voltage potential). The first and second DC current sources are configured to provide a DC cancellation current having a value that cancels a DC current generated by the potential difference between the first and second voltage domains. | 07-05-2012 |
20120195239 | Signal Generator for a Transmitter or a Receiver, a Transmitter and a Receiver - A signal generator for a transmitter or a receiver for transmitting or receiving RF-signals according to a given communication protocol includes an oscillator and a mismatch compensator. The oscillator is configured to provide a signal generator output signal having a signal generator output frequency and comprises a fine tuning circuit for providing a fine adjustment of the signal generator output frequency based on a fine tuning signal and a coarse tuning circuit for providing a course adjustment of the signal generator output frequency based on a coarse tuning signal. The mismatch compensator is configured to receive the signal generator output signal and compensate a frequency mismatch between a desired signal generator output frequency and the signal generator output frequency generated by the oscillator by providing the fine tuning signal for changing the state of the fine tuning circuit of the oscillator and by providing the coarse tuning signal for changing a state of the coarse tuning circuit of the oscillator. The mismatch compensator provides the coarse tuning signal during a guard period defined in the given communication protocol, during which no RF-signals are transmitted by the transmitter or no RF-signals are to be received by the receiver, such that the state of the coarse tuning circuit is changed within the guard period. | 08-02-2012 |
