Problems solved by technology

Redesigning the analog portions, however, is not a straightforward task since most analog circuitry (e.g., inductors, capacitors, etc.) does not “shrink” with the IC process.

Embodiment Construction

[0052]FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of an embodiment of a portable computing communication device 10 that includes a system on a chip (SOC) 12 and a front-end module (FEM) 14. The portable computing communication device 10 may be any device that can be carried by a person, can be at least partially powered by a battery, includes a radio transceiver (e.g., radio frequency (RF) and / or millimeter wave (MMW)) and performs one or more software applications. For example, the portable computing communication device 10 may be a cellular telephone, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant, a video game console, a video game player, a personal entertainment unit, a tablet computer, etc.

[0053]The SOC 12 includes a SAW-less receiver section 18, a SAW-less transmitter section 20, a baseband processing unit 22, a processing module 24, and a power management unit 26. The SAW-less receiver 18 includes a receiver (RX) radio frequency (RF) to intermediate frequency (IF) section 28 and a ...

Abstract

A radio front end includes a power amplifier, a duplexer, a detection module, a processing module, and a tunable balancing network. The duplexer is operable to provide electrical isolation between the outbound wireless signal and an inbound wireless signal. The detection module is operable to detect non-linear function of the power amplifier to produce a detected non-linearity and to detect transmit leakage of the duplexer to produce detected transmit leakage. The processing module is operable to generate a coarse tuning signal based on the detected non-linearity and to generate a fine tuning signal based on the detected transmit leakage. The tunable balancing network is operably coupled to the duplexer and operable to establish an impedance based on the coarse and fine tuning signals.
