A quadrature detector subjects a received signal to quadrature detection and outputs a base band signal. A direct current component measurement circuit measures a magnitude of a direct current component included in the base band signal from the quadrature detector. A first HPF and a second HPF reduce the direct current component included in the base band signal from the quadrature detector. A demodulator demodulates the base band signal output from the first HPF and the second HPF. A controller exercises control to attenuate a level of the received signal input to the quadrature detector when the magnitude of the direct current component measured by the direct current component measurement circuit is equal to or larger than a threshold value.

Radio frequency transceiver
10931316 · 2021-02-23 · ·

A radio frequency transceiver is disclosed herein. The radio frequency transceiver comprises a transmitter, a receiver comprising a full complex mixer capable of operating as a frequency down-converter, and an in-phase and quadrature (IQ) imbalance calibration module. The IQ imbalance calibration module is connected with (e.g., only connected with) the transmitter. The IQ imbalance calibration module is arranged calibrate the transmitter to reduce its IQ imbalance. The IQ imbalance calibration module is not arranged calibrate the receiver. Use of the full complex mixer in the receiver eliminates the need for calibrating the receiver.

Apparatus for processing biomedical signals for display

Apparatus and methods remove a voltage offset from an electrical signal, specifically a biomedical signal. A signal is received at a first operational amplifier and is amplified by a gain. An amplitude of the signal is monitored, by a first pair of diode stages coupled to an output of the first operational amplifier, for the voltage offset. The amplitude of the signal is then attenuated by the first pair of diode stages and a plurality of timing banks. The attenuating includes limiting charging, by the first pair of diode stages, of the plurality of timing banks and setting a time constant based on the charging. The attenuating removes the voltage offset persisting at a threshold for a duration of at least the time constant. Saturation of the signal is limited to a saturation recovery time while the saturated signal is gradually pulled into monitoring range over the saturation recovery time.
