摘要:
In a fast-switching frequency synthesizer switching between receiving and transmitting mode frequency is done by changing the divisor of the loop divider and by presteering voltage injection at the voltage controlled oscillator ("VCO") with feedback to allow the VCO, and synthesizer, to quickly transition between two given frequencies. This presteering mechanism, with the feedback, allows the presteering voltage to track the variations in the VCO gain from device to device, and gain changes while in operation. This same information is used to implement a means of automatically adjusting the FM deviation of the transmitter since that information varies with the gain of the VCO as does the FM deviation.

The oscillation frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator (4) is controlled by setting a division ratio of a variable ratio divider (2) provided in a feedback path of a phase locked loop. When the frequency is switched by changing the division ration a steering voltage (Vda) is applied to the voltage controlled oscillator. This steering voltage can compensate non-linearity so as to reduce the frequency errors and phase errors after switching to thereby enable high speed frequency switching.

Signal generating apparatus comprises a phase-locked loop (PLL) (1,3,5,7,9) utilizing a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) (1) and a frequency-locked loop (FLL) (9,1,13) to generate an output signal, the frequency of which jumps from one value to another in a selectable sequence; the signal generator further includes a delay line discriminator (13) to provide an error signal to compensate for FM noise in the VCO (1). The frequency-locked loop is implemented by utilizing the FM error signal from the delay line discriminator (13) to stabilize the center frequency of the VCO (1). The inherent wide bandwidth of the FLL provides a fast settling time when the loop is switched to a new frequency. In a learn mode, the gain parameters of the loop are determined and stored for each of a plurality of frequencies. The gain parameters and a corresponding pretune signal for each selected frequencies are then applied to the FLL in a selectable sequence to provide a fast-switching signal generator.

A frequency synthesizing circuit includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (40) whose frequency is preset to a value, and which generates an oscillating signal in response to an input voltage. A digital processing unit (60) can disable the circuit to operate in phase locked loop mode. Once the circuit is disabled, the unit determines a first and second frequency of the oscillating signal in response to respective first and second loop filter input voltage values. The unit further generates a control value from the two frequencies, the frequency divider dividing ratio and the reference signal. The circuit further comprises a D/A converter (70) configured to preset the loop filter input voltage to a preset value in response to the control value. Once the oscillator output oscillates at the corresponding input preset value, the unit (60) disables the D/A converter (70) and enables the frequency synthesizing to operate in phase locked loop mode.

At least a specific one of the clock-generation circuits is powered-down between consecutive data bursts. The system expedites the starting up of operational use of the system upon a power-down of the specific clock-generation circuit. The system presets at a predetermined value an operational quantity of the specific clock-generation circuit at the starting up.

摘要:
Kommunikationseinrichtungen enthalten, beispielsweise in Dekodereinrichtungen und Frequenzerzeugungseinrichtungen, Oszillatoren, die häufig eine phasenverkoppelte Regelschleife (Phase-Locked Loop, PLL), d. h. einen Phasenregelkreis, enthalten. Das Signal des freischwingenden Oszillators ist dabei phasenstarr mit einem Referenzsignal gekoppelt. Um eine hohe Frequenzagilität zu erreichen, erfolgt in dem erfindungsgemäßen Phasenregelkreis (100: 300: 400) die Einstellung eines Ausgangssignals (111: 311: 411) mit einer gewünschten Frequenz zunächst in einem Steuerbetrieb und anschließend in einem Regelbetrieb. Die Umschaltung von dem Steuerbetrieb in den Regelbetrieb erfolgt, nachdem die Spannung eines ersten Steuersignals (113: 313: 413) und die Spannung eines zweiten Steuersignals (115, 118: 315, 318: 415, 418), innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Bereichs, gleich sind, so daß sich die Umschaltung nicht wesentlich auf das Signal am Eingang des spannungsgesteuerten Oszillators (101: 301: 401) auswirkt. Der erfindungsgemäße Phasenregelkreis (100: 300: 400) ermöglicht eine Frequenzerzeugung mit hoher Frequenzstabilität und Signalreinheit bei hoher Frequenzagilität.
摘要:
A bias current IB additionally provided to a current-controlled circuit 13 in a PLL circuit is the sum of bias currents IB1 and IB2 which are generated by a bias adjustment circuit (18, 19, 20, 21 and 22) and a bias current generating circuit (23 and 24), respectively. The bias adjustment circuit adjusts the bias current IB1 in response to an adjustment start signal ADJ such that a control voltage VC converges to a reference voltage VREF, and ceases the adjustment when the convergence has been achieved. The reference voltage VREF is determined to be a value at an almost middle point in a range of the variable VC in the PLL circuit. The bias current generating circuit has a circuit 23 generating a bias voltage VT and a circuit 24 converting the VT into a current IB2, wherein the temperature characteristic of the bias voltage VT is opposite to that of the control voltage VC under the condition that the frequency of an oscillation signal OCLK is fixed.

A reduced lock time phase locked loop has a speed up circuit with an operational amplifier (24) to amplify a differential voltage across a filter resistor (R1) of an RC noise filter, the RC noise filter (R1,C) coupling a coarse tune voltage to a VCO (12). The amplified differential voltage is applied to the bases of a pair of opposite polarity transistors (Q1,Q2), the emitters of the transistors being coupled to a filter capacitor (C) in the RC noise filter for rapid charging/discharging. Alternatively the amplified differential voltage is applied to a pair of parallel, opposite polarity diodes (D1,D2) coupled to the filter capacitor for rapid charging/discharging.
摘要:
In a frequency synthesizer, a first pulse removing circuit (31) is connected between a reference signal generator (21) and a phase-frequency comparator (24). A second pulse removing circuit (32) is connected between a variable frequency divider (23) and the phase-frequency comparator. Responsive to first removing data indicative of a first pulse number, the first pulse removing circuit removes pulses from the reference signal that are equal in number to the first pulse number for a first predetermined cycle to produce a first pulse removed signal. Responsive to second removing data indicative of a second pulse number, the second pulse removing circuit removes pulses from the divided signal that are equal in number to the second pulse number for a second predetermined cycle to produce a second pulse removed signal. Responsive to a current command, a current controlling circuit may control current supplied from/to a charge pump circuit (25). A control circuit may be connected between the phase-frequency comparator and the charge pump circuit. A switch may be inserted between the loop filter and the voltage controlled oscillator. When the switch switches off a PLL, a D/A converter supplies a control voltage to the voltage controlled oscillator and a filter capacitor of the loop filter. The charge pump circuit may comprise a control circuit, a constant current circuit, an integrating circuit, and a sample and hold circuit.
