Problems solved by technology

While resonant circuits with adequate performance are achievable using current IC technology, the accuracy of the resonant frequency is unacceptable without tuning
However, as noted above, this requirement to provide tuning adds cost and is therefore undesirable

Embodiment Construction

[0096] In order to put the present invention into an appropriate technical context, first refer to Figure 14 , which illustrates a simplified block diagram of an embodiment of a wireless communication system including at least one mobile station (MS) 100 suitable for practicing the present invention. Figure 14 Also shown is an example network operator having, for example: a GPRS Support Node (GSN) 30 for connecting to a communication network such as a Public Packet Data Network or PDN; at least one Base Station Controller (BSC) 40 and a plurality of base transceiver stations (BTS) 50, which transmit to the mobile station 100 in physical and logical channels in the forward or downlink direction according to a predetermined air interface standard. Each BTS 50 is assumed to support one cell. There is also a reverse or uplink communication path from the mobile station 100 to the network operator, which conveys mobile initiated access requests and traffic.

Abstract

A method is disclosed for operating a RF receiver of a communications equipment, as is circuitry for implementing the method. The method includes, while operating under the control of a data processor of the communications equipment, generating a calibration signal; injecting the calibration signal into a low noise amplifier (LNA) of the RF receiver; measuring a downconverted response of the receiver at a plurality of different frequencies of the calibration signal, or measuring the downconverted response of the receiver at a plurality of different LNA tuning combinations using a fixed calibration frequency, and at least one of tuning a resonance frequency of at least one LNA resonator based on the measured downconverted response so as to compensate at least for variations in component values that comprise the at least one resonator, or adjusting the linearity of the receiver.
