发明名称 Calibration-free local oscillator signal generation for a harmonic-rejection mixer
摘要 A circuit for producing multiple switching control signals for a harmonic rejection mixer from multiple phases of a digital local oscillator signal is presented, wherein a first waveform combiner circuit is arranged to generate from the multiple phases of the digital local oscillator signal at least one switching control signal by logical combining two from the multiple phases of a digital local oscillator signal, and a second waveform combiner circuit is arranged to generate from the multiple phases of the digital local oscillator signal at least one first switching control signal by logical combining one from the multiple phases of a digital local oscillator signal with a predetermined signal having a static logical value. To compensate for phase errors the schematic topology of the first and the second waveform combiner circuit are arranged to be fully symmetrical to each other in that in the first waveform combiner, the circuit part for providing the function of the second waveform combiner is used as a dummy circuit, and in the second waveform combiner, a circuit part for providing the function of the first waveform combiner is used as a dummy circuit. Accordingly, the sources for providing the multiple phases of the digital local oscillator signal see the same load, and hence required phase shift is guaranteed.
