A harmonic filter for filtering a plurality of frequency components from an input signal comprises a phase shifter for generating an in-phase signal and a quadrature-phase signal according to the input signal; and a plurality of polyphase filter networks coupled in series. The first polyphase filter network in the series is coupled to the phase shifter for receiving the in-phase and quadrature-phase signals. Each polyphase filter network is for filtering a corresponding one of the frequency components from the input signal.

Multistage RF transmitter and receiver circuits may use independently variable RF and IF local oscillators, allowing the RF and IF local oscillator frequencies for a given RF channel to be selected to have a large common factor with respect to the reference oscillator used by the local oscillator circuits, thus allowing the use of small divisor numbers in the local oscillator circuits and reducing phase noise. Independent high-side and low-side RF local oscillators may be provided and selectively used depending on the RF channel to be transmitted or received.

A signal is applied to the body of a MOSFET to enhance the transconductance of the MOSFET. The signal applied to the body of the MOSFET has essentially the same waveform as an input signal supplied to the gate of the MOSFET, and is shifted by approximately 180 degrees with respect to the input signal. The signal applied to the body of the MOSFET may be provided by a phase-adjusting feedback circuit that generates the signal from a signal representing the output of the MOSFET.

First, second, third, and fourth resistors are coupled to first, second, third, and fourth capacitors. A first positive in-phase terminal is coupled to the first resistor and the first capacitor. A first negative in-phase terminal is coupled to the fourth resistor and the fourth capacitor. A positive quadrature-phase terminal is coupled to the second resistor and the first capacitor. A second positive in-phase terminal is coupled to the first resistor and the second capacitor. A second negative in-phase terminal is coupled to the fourth resistor and the third capacitor. A negative quadrature-phase terminal is coupled to the third resistor and the fourth capacitor. The first and fourth resistors, the second and third resistors, the first and fourth capacitors, and the second and third capacitors are equal distances from and on a same side of respective axes, and are equal distances from and on opposite sides of a symmetry axis.
