Abstract

An embodiment of the invention discloses a voltage-to-current converter. The voltage to current converter includes a converter circuit having an input node, an amplified signal node and an output. The input node is configured to receive a sinusoidal voltage signal and the output is configured to provide a half-wave current signal. A transistor having a gate, a source, and a drain is coupled to the input node. The input node is coupled to one of the source or the drain. The amplified signal node is coupled to the gate. A process tracking stabilizer is coupled to the transistor at the source or the drain not coupled to the input node. The process tracking stabilizer is configured to generate a control voltage for the transistor. The control voltage is configured to maintain a predetermined non-zero voltage at the input node of the converter circuit during a negative cycle of the sinusoidal voltage signal. The embodiment of the invention further provides an RF transceiver.

Description

Technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of semiconductors, and more specifically to voltage-current converters and radio frequency transceivers. Background technique [0002] The radio frequency (RF) transmission structure utilizes a voltage-current (V2I) converter to convert a full-wave voltage input into a half-wave current output for transmission over the RF channel, such as wireless transmission. For example, during radio operations such as transmitting or receiving signals, Long Term Evolution (LTE) utilizes one or more V2I converters. [0003] In an ideal (for example, theoretical) situation, the input of the V2I converter has a relatively high impedance, so that substantially no current flows into the V2I converter. The lack of current generates a virtual ground at the input, which causes the input to behave as if coupled to ground (for example, for the purpose of calculating the current generated by one or more additional circuit...
