A millimeter-wave phase array system may include massive heterodyne transceivers as its building elements. A transceiver of each element may include an IQ image rejection heterodyne transmitter and a receiver. Each transmitter may include a single DAC, a Tx I channel, and a Tx Q channel. Each receiver may include an Rx I channel, an Rx Q channel, and a single ADC. For Tx IQ image rejection calibration, amplitude and phase offsets are determined, using both the Tx I and Tx Q channels from a first element and using only one of the Rx I or Rx Q channel from a second element. The IQ channel imbalances are compensated using the offsets in analog domain. A similar procedure is used for Rx IQ image rejection calibration with alternated signal path enabling. A frequency response variation of an RF front end is detected with a single path Tx/Rx channel setup.

A transceiver includes a transmitter and a receiver connected to each other through a first line and a second line. The transmitter transmits signals having a first voltage range to the first line and the second line in a first mode, and transmits signals having a second voltage range less than the first voltage range to the first line and the second line in a second mode. When transmitting a first payload to the receiver, the transmitter is sequentially driven in the first mode, the second mode, and the first mode, and the transmitter transmits a clock training pattern and the first payload in the second mode.

Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may compensate input data for non-linear power amplifier noise to generate compensated input data. In compensating the noise, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide amplified input data to a receiver stage including a coefficient calculator. The coefficient calculator may calculate an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate coefficient data associated with the power amplifier noise. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to a coefficient calculator. During an uplink TTI, the amplified input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

A radio frequency module includes a module board; a first semiconductor device containing a first power amplifier and a second power amplifier; and a second semiconductor device containing a first switch, the first switch including a first terminal connected to the first power amplifier and a second terminal connected to the second power amplifier.

An aspect of such a radio frequency module is that it is possible to achieve a compact form factor, although still provide RF transmit and receive capability. The RF module also includes external-connection terminals and a LNA, and the first semiconductor device and the low noise amplifier are disposed on mutually opposite surfaces of the module board.
