20100120383 | DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT CIRCUIT AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A differential includes first and second current mirror circuits that provide the gates of slave transistors with gate voltages of master transistors via a voltage follower where a slew rate at a rise time is equal to a slew rate at a fall time. Thus, when the master current is increased or decreased, an incremental change in slave current and a decremental change in slave current are symmetrical with each other. The use of such current mirrors in a differential manner leads to no generation of common mode noise even in these changes. | 2010-05-13 |
20100120384 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMICALLY COMPENSATING FOR DC OFFSET DRIFT AND OTHER PVT-RELATED SIGNAL VARIATIONS IN POLAR TRANSMITTERS - Methods and apparatus for dynamically compensating for signal variations in communications transmitters employing switch-mode PAs. An exemplary method includes first identifying a predetermined signal characteristic in an input signal applied to an input of a switch-mode PA. A modulated signal produced at the output of the switch-mode PA containing the identified signal characteristic is then sampled at approximately the same time the identified signal characteristic appears at the output of the switch-mode PA, to generate a digital sample representing an actual value of the identified signal characteristic. An error signal representing the extent to which the actual value deviates from an expected value is then generated. Finally, the DC level and/or gain of the input signal to the switch-mode PA is modified to reduce the error. By reducing the error in this manner, signal variations that adversely affect the accuracy of the switch-mode PA output signal are dynamically compensated for. | 2010-05-13 |

20100120426 | OPTIMIZED SIGNALING OF PRIMARY SCRAMBLING CODES AND FREQUENCY LISTS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate communicating PSC split information regarding neighboring cells. The PSC split information can be transmitted in one or more overhead messages selected based on network deployment. Where macro cells and femto cells provide PSC split information, which can be a PSC range for related cells, PSC list, etc., the information can be transmitted in a low priority overhead message since it can be obtained at a source cell.
