Disclosed is a circuit system generating a reference current (Iref) and an oscillator circuit which comprises said circuit system and a capacitor (8) that is connected to the input of a voltage-controlled source of electric power (1). Said capacitor (8) is triggered by two inter-switchable amplifiers (4, 6) with different driving capacities (gm1, gm2). According to said principle, an LC oscillator (14), for example, can be electrically controlled while being fed with the reference current (Iref) at a particularly low noise level.
摘要:
A phase noise compensation circuitry is connectible to a reference oscillator (14) which generates a reference signal, affected by phase noise ϕ( t ), exploitable either for modulation, demodulation, or simply frequency conversion. The compensation circuitry includes an mixer (17) which receives the reference signal, and a copy of the reference signal after π/2 phase shifting and delaying by a fixed delay τ spanning an integer number N of periods of the reference signal. The baseband signal at the output of the mixer (17) is proportional to the time derivative of the phase noise voltage. In a preferred embodiment the baseband signal is filtered and A/D converted before reaching a downstream numerical integrator (21) which provides a phase noise estimation voltage proportional to the difference between the phase noise voltage across the delay τ. The delay τ also spans an integer L N periods of the digital clock: L =1 is the preferred value. The output of the integrator (21), opportunely scaled out, acts as an address ϕ of two look-up tables (23, 24) for obtaining in correspondence respective digital samples sin (ϕ) and cos ( ϕ ). These digital samples are sent to a complex multiplier (11) which carries out the following digital products: ( r )=[ s I ( r )· cos ϕ] and ( r )=[ s Q ( r )· sin ϕ], in order to perform a digital compensation of the phase noise due to the reference signal. In case the compensation circuit is used by the transmitter the ( r ), ( r ) products are In-phase and In-quadrature phase-noise precompensated modulating components. In case the compensation circuit is used by the receiver the ( r ), ( r ) products are In-phase and In-quadrature phase-noise postcompensated demodulated components (fig.2).
