TRANSMITTER CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18003026 titled 'TRANSMITTER CIRCUIT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a transmitter circuit that receives an analog input signal and a local oscillator (LO) signal. It includes a mixer circuit, a PA circuit, a control circuit, a phase-control circuit, and a gain-control circuit.

  • The mixer circuit combines the analog input signal with the LO signal.
  • The PA circuit amplifies the mixed signal.
  • The control circuit generates a phase-control signal and a gain-control signal based on the envelope of the analog input signal.
  • The phase-control circuit adjusts the LO signal based on the phase-control signal and supplies it to the mixer circuit.
  • The gain-control circuit adjusts the gain of the transmitter circuit based on the gain-control signal.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Radio frequency (RF) transmitters
  • Signal processing devices

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient mixing and amplification of analog input signals
  • Precise control of phase and gain in the transmitter circuit

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved signal quality and accuracy
  • Enhanced efficiency in wireless communication systems
  • Better control over phase and gain adjustments


Original Abstract Submitted

A transmitter circuit has a signal input for receiving an analog input signal and a local oscillator (LO) input for receiving an LO signal. A mixer circuit has a first input, a second input, and an output. The second input of the mixer circuit is connected to a signal input of the transmitter circuit. A PA circuit has an input connected to the output of the mixer circuit, and an output. A control circuit generates a phase-control signal and a gain-control signal in response to an envelope of the analog input signal. A phase-control circuit generates a phase-adjusted LO signal in response to the LO signal and the phase-control signal and supplies the phase-adjusted LO signal to the first input of the mixer circuit. A gain-control circuit controls a gain of the transmitter circuit in response to the gain-control signal.
