A digital up-converter (DUC) includes conjugate-mixer-combiner. The conjugate-mixer-combiner includes a pre-combiner configured to generate combinations of a first in-phase (I) value to be transmitted at a first frequency of a first frequency band, a first quadrature (Q) value to be transmitted at the first frequency of a first frequency band, a second I value for to be transmitted at a second frequency of a second frequency band, and a second Q value to be transmitted at the second frequency of a second frequency band. The conjugate-mixer-combiner further includes a plurality of multipliers collectively configured to shift the combinations based on an average difference between the first frequency and the second frequency.

Digital upconverter for radio frequency sampling transmitter

A circuit includes a noise generator and a delay element. The output of the noise generator couples to the input of the delay element. The output of the delay element is coupled to a first input of a logic circuit, and the output of the noise generator is coupled to a second input of the logic circuit. The output of the logic circuit is coupled to a first control input of a waveform storage circuit. The waveform storage circuit is configured to produce a first digital waveform on its output responsive to a first logic state on the output of the logic circuit and to produce a second digital waveform on its output responsive to a second logic state on the output of the logic circuit. A sequencer has a sequencer output coupled to the second control input of the waveform storage circuit.

Internally truncated multiplier

In accordance with an example, an integrated circuit includes a linear combiner having an input for receiving a signal. The linear combiner also has a plurality of operator circuits for applying weighting factors to the signal, in which a first operator circuit in the plurality of operator circuits performs a first operation on the signal using a first sub-weight of one of the weighting factors to provide a first tile output and a second operator circuit in the plurality of operator circuits performs a second operation on the signal using a second sub-weight of the one of the weighting factors to provide a second tile output. The linear combiner also has an adder having a first input coupled to receive the first tile output and the second tile outputs and providing a combined output.

Methods and apparatus for efficient linear combiner

Methods and apparatus for reducing non-linearity in analog to digital converters are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an analog-to-digital converter to convert an analog signal into a digital signal; and a non-linearity corrector coupled to the analog-to-digital converter to determine a derivative of the digital signal; determine cross terms including a combination of the digital signal and the derivative of the digital signal; and determine a non-linearity term corresponding to a combination of the cross terms.
