TL;DR: An RF receiver front-end for a GSM/GPRS radio system-on-chip in a 90 nm digital CMOS technology is presented and can be configured with an automatic-gain-control to select an optimal setting to form a trade-off between noise figure and linearity and to compensate the process and temperature variations.

Apparatus and method for acquisition and tracking bank cooperation in a digitally controlled oscillator
TL;DR: In this article, the acquisition bits of the acquisition bank are used as an extension of the modulation range, allowing the use of two different capacitor banks for modulation rather than just a single capacitor bank as in the prior art schemes.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Sigma-delta noise shaping for digital-to-frequency and digital-to-RF-amplitude conversion
TL;DR: A new architecture of high-speed multibit /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ noise shaping for digital-to-frequency conversion (DFC) and digital- to-RF-amplitude conversion (DRAC) is described, amenable to large-scale integration in an SoC realized in a digital deep-submicron CMOS process.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Just-in-time gain estimation of an RF digitally-controlled oscillator
TL;DR: A novel method of estimating gain of a digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) for wireless RF applications is proposed and demonstrated by executing the calculation algorithm just-in-time at the beginning of every packet, which enables the employment of sophisticated and fully-digital frequency synthesizers capable of compensating for analog non-idealities.
Patent
Built-in self test method for a digitally controlled crystal oscillator
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a test mechanism for large capacitor arrays such as those used in a digitally controlled crystal oscillator (DCXO), where all the capacitors in a row are tested lumped together and treated as a single entity.
