Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for generating an internal reset signal that is synchronous to a clock signal. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a clock switch circuit and a plurality of serially coupled D flip-flops (DFFs). The clock switch circuit receiving the clock signal can output the clock signal in an on state and block the clock signal in an off state. The plurality of serially coupled DFFs are coupled to the clock switch circuit and driven by the clock signal. If an external reset signal is enabled, the plurality of serially coupled DFFs can enable the internal reset signal. If the external reset signal is disabled, after a predefined number of clock signal cycles, the plurality of serially coupled DFFs can disable the internal reset signal.

Phase synchronized LO generation

A transmit power measurement apparatus includes a transmit power detection path, a compensation circuit and a tracking circuit. The compensation circuit includes a programmable filter device and a compensation controller. The programmable filter device generates a filter output. The compensation controller sets the programmable filter device at least based on a frequency response of the transmit power detection path. The tracking circuit generates a transmit power tracking result at least based on the filter output.

A transmitter includes a first channel and a second channel. The first channel includes a first mixer, and is used for processing a first input signal to generate a first output signal; the second channel includes a second mixer, where the second channel does not receive any input signal. When the transmitter is operated under a first mode, both the first mixer and the second mixer receive oscillation signals.

Transmitter supporting two modes

A digital transmitter includes: a plurality of converting devices arranged to generate a plurality of converting signals according to a plurality of digital input signals; a compensation device arranged to generate at least one compensation signal according to the plurality of digital input signals; and a combining circuit arranged to output an amplified output signal according to the plurality of converting signals and the at least one compensation signal.

Digital transmitter and method for compensating mismatch in digital transmitter

An embodiment of the invention provides a sliced transmitter front-end (TX FE). The sliced TX FE includes first TX FE slices and a second TX FE slice that are connected in parallel. As a whole the first TX FE slices contributes a high-gain section to a superimposed gain range of the sliced TX FE. The second TX FE slice has a gain range that constitutes a low-gain section of the superimposed gain range of the sliced TX FE. A minimum gain of the gain range of the second TX FE slice is smaller than a minimum gain of the high-gain section.
