Disclosed herein are devices and methods to reduce unwanted CIM3 emission in a wireless communication device, such that the transmit (TX) power level applied in a RU can be increased without exceeding a regulatory emission requirement. In some aspects, unwanted emission may be reduced by shifting or changing local oscillator (LO) frequencies during TX operation. Some embodiments are directed to a fast-locking PLL with adjustable bandwidth that can be controlled to increase the PLL bandwidth during the RX to TX transition to provide a fast locking to a new LO frequency. Some aspects are directed to configuring an LO frequency shift amount for different RUs when multiple RUs are allocated within a frequency band.

Apparatus and methods for improved transmit power

A phase detector including a first latch and a control circuit is provided. The first latch generates a first output signal and a second output signal in response to a phase difference between a first input signal and a second input signal. Each of the first and second output signals includes first phase information and second phase information of the phase difference. The control circuit generates a phase indicating signal in response to the first phase information of the phase difference. The phase indicating signal indicates a relative position between the first input signal and the second input signal.

Phase detector

A method for cancelling magnetic coupling in an amplifier is disclosed. The amplifier includes a first path and a second path for outputting a first signal and a second signal, respectively, and the first signal and the second signal have a specific phase difference. The method includes forming a first LC tank and a second LC tank in the first path, and forming a third LC tank and a forth LC tank in the second path.
