SOFTWARE PROGRAMMABLE CELLULAR RADIO ARCHITECTURE FOR WIDE BANDWIDTH RADIO SYSTEMS INCLUDING TELEMATICS AND INFOTAINMENT SYSTEMS |
摘要 |
A cellular radio architecture that includes a programmable bandpass sampling radio frequency front-end and an optimized digital baseband. The architecture includes a multiplexer having signal paths that include a bandpass filter that passes a different frequency band than the other bandpass filters and a circulator that provides signal isolation between the transmit signals and the receive signals. The architecture also includes a receiver module having a separate signal channel for each of the signal paths in the multiplexer, where each signal channel in the receiver module includes a receiver delta-sigma modulator that converts analog receive signals to a representative digital signal. The architecture further includes a transmitter module having a transmitter delta-sigma modulator for converting digital data bits to analog transmit signals, where the transmitter module includes a power amplifier and a switch for directing the transmit signals to one of the signal paths in the multiplexer. |

1. A transceiver front-end circuit for a cellular radio, said transceiver circuit comprising:
an antenna structure operable to transmit signals and receive signals; a multiplexer coupled to the antenna structure and including a plurality of signal paths, each signal path including a bandpass filter that passes a different frequency band than the other bandpass filters and a circulator that provides signal isolation between the transmit signals and the receive signals; a receiver module including a separate signal channel for each of the signal paths in the multiplexer, each signal channel in the receiver module including a receiver delta-sigma modulator that converts analog receive signals to a representative digital signal; and a transmitter module including a transmitter delta-sigma modulator for converting digital data bits to the transmit signals, said transmitter module including a tunable bandpass filter, a switch for directing the transmit signals to a particular signal path, and a power amplifier in each signal path for amplifying the transmit signal before transmitting. |
