Abstract
In an embodiment, an apparatus includes: a transmit circuit to upconvert a baseband signal to a first differential radio frequency (RF) signal, the transmit circuit to convert the first differential RF signal to a first single-ended RF signal; a duty cycle correction circuit coupled to the transmit circuit to receive the first single-ended RF signal and compensate for a duty cycle variation in the first single-ended RF signal to output a duty cycle-corrected RF signal; a conversion circuit to convert the duty cycle-corrected RF signal to a second differential RF signal; and an interface circuit to transfer the second differential RF signal from a first ground domain to a second ground domain.
