The present invention provides a class AB amplifier, wherein the class AB amplifier includes a cascode stage with a filter and an output stage. The cascode stage with the filter is arranged for receiving an input signal to generate a first driving signal and a second driving signal, wherein the filter filters the input signal to generate an filtered input signal, and at least one of the first driving signal and the second driving signal is generated according to the filtered input signal. The output stage is coupled to the cascode stage, and is arranged for generating an output signal according to the first driving signal and the second driving signal.

Class AB amplifier having cascode stage with filter for improving linearity

A radio frequency (RF) receiver includes a digital tuning engine; and I-path and Q-path analog filters, tuned by the digital tuning engine. The digital tuning engine gets an I/Q imbalance difference, and the digital tuning engines tunes the I-path analog filter and/or the Q-path analog filter based on the I/O imbalance difference.

RF receiver and digitally-assisted calibration method applicable thereto

A radio frequency (RF) receiver includes a digital tuning engine; I-path and Q-path analog filters, tuned by the digital tuning engine; and a digital compensation circuit. The digital tuning engine executes a RC (resistor-capacitor) time constant calibration to adjust respective cut-off frequencies of the I-path analog filter and the Q-path analog filter. The digital tuning engine executes a filter mismatch calibration to match the I-path analog filter and the Q-path analog filter. The digital tuning engine executes a filter residual mismatch calibration to match an I-path response from the I-path analog filter to the digital compensation circuit and a Q-path response from the Q-path analog filter to the digital compensation circuit.

A digital to analog converting system, which comprises: a first data converting circuit, for receiving a first digital data stream transmitted at a first clock frequency, for converting the first digital data stream to a plurality of second digital data streams transmitted at a second clock frequency, and for outputting the second digital data streams in parallel; a second data converting circuit, for receiving the second digital data streams from the first data converting circuit, and for converting the second digital data streams to a third digital data stream transmitted at a third clock frequency; and a first digital to analog converter, for converting the third digital data stream to a first output analog data stream. The second clock frequency is lower than the first clock frequency and the third clock frequency.
