RF Power Calibration Aids Wireless Transmitters
Wireless transmitters can benefit from measurement and control of RF power. Because of such factors as regulatory requirements and the need to co-exist with other wireless networks, the RF power levels of wireless transmitter high-power amplifiers (HPAs) must be monitored and controlled. The precision and accuracy of these measurements can result in improved transmitter spectral performance as well as significant savings in operating cost for an...

High-Speed Logamps Precisely Detect Power
Transmitters require circuitry to measure and control RF power for proper operation. Since system requirements vary widely, a power-control circuit may be as simple as a low-dynamic-range diode detector. The whole purpose for this device is to...

Single Chip Realizes Direct-Conversion Rx
Direct conversion of RF signals to baseband has long been a goal of communications systems designers. The approach can eliminate expensive and bulky hardware, but at the cost of some trade-offs in performance. What follows is an examination of the...

Assessing Multicarrier Direct-Conversion Transmitters
Direct-conversion transmitters appeal to designers of wireless systems for their simplicity and low cost. Unfortunately, the simple architecture does not allow the filtering of broadband noise, images and spurious components typically executed at...
