A cancellation circuit includes a limiter connected to an output of a first transmitter power amplifier that converts in input sinewave to a digital square wave and a digital to time converter (DTC) connected to the limiter. A RF digital to RF converter is connected to the DTC that converts the digital square wave input into an analog RF output. A cancellation amplifier with an input receives an output from the RF digital to RF converter and has an output connected to an output of a second transmitter power amplifier. The cancellation amplifier produces a cancellation signal to cancel an interference signal at the output of the second transmitter power amplifier from the output of the first transmitter power amplifier. A power detector is connected to the output of the second power amplifier that produces a power value detected at the output of the second power amplifier.

Cancellation circuit using digital to time converter

An electronic circuit includes a differential output circuit that produces a differential output signal at a differential output. A primary winding of a balun has a first balun terminal coupled to a first differential output terminal, and a second balun terminal coupled to a second differential output terminal. A configurable harmonic reduction circuit includes first and second configurable shunt capacitance circuits coupled between the first differential output terminal or the second differential output terminal, respectively, and a ground reference node. A control circuit receives tuning data associated with a calibrated tuning state. The tuning data indicates a first and second calibrated capacitance values, which are unequal, for the first and second configurable shunt capacitance circuits, respectively. The control circuit controls the first configurable shunt capacitance circuit to have the first calibrated capacitance value, and controls the second configurable shunt capacitance circuit to have the second calibrated capacitance value.
