摘要:
A drive circuit for a MEMS resonator can include closed loop means for detecting and amplifying a signal of the MEMS resonator, and means for feeding the detected and amplified signal as a feedback signal back to the MEMS resonator. The circuitry also comprises DC bias voltage means for generating for the MEMS resonator a first DC bias voltage, and a second DC bias voltage that is controlled according to measured amplitudes of the MEMS resonator, one of the DC bias voltages being summed into the feedback signal. The circuitry comprises also a start-up circuitry adapted to detect a start-up state, and in response to a detected start-up state change at last one of the DC bias voltages to a predefined level. The state of constant oscillation is achieved reliably and in short time.

L'invention concerne un oscillateur réglable en fréquence, dans les domaines radiofréquence et micro-onde, qui est constitué par l'association de deux systèmes bouclés, fonctionnant à la même fréquence mais dont les signaux sont déphasés d'un angle de 90°. Chaque système bouclé comporte un dispositif de déphasage, un élément actif apportant le gain nécessaire aux oscillations et un résonateur possédant une caractéristique phase-fréquence fixe, qui permet la détermination de la fréquence d'oscillation. Le déphasage dans chaque boucle étant impérativement un multiple entier de 2pi, le déphasage ajouté dans chaque boucle par le dispositif de déphasage, implique que chaque résonateur doit introduire un déphasage complémentaire afin de répondre au critère d'oscillation. Ce déphasage complémentaire se produit à une fréquence définie par la caractéristique du résonateur, celui-ci défini alors la fréquence d'oscillation. Le réglage de la fréquence s'effectue par deux cellules de déphasage, qui opèrent la multiplication analogique des signaux issus des deux systèmes bouclés par des tensions de commande et la sommation de ces produits, afin d'obtenir deux signaux déphasés: cos(ωt)*cos(a)+sin(ωt)*(-sin(a))= cos(ωt+a) et sin(ωt)*cos(a)+cos(ωt)*sin(a)= sin(ωt+a), Ce système délivre donc deux signaux en quadratures et a pour caractéristique de permettre une variation de fréquence sur une large bande. L'invention peut être mise en oeuvre dans le domaine du radar, des télécommunications, ou des sources de mesure.
摘要:
The present invention proposes a new way of improving the phase stability and frequency selectivity of a phase shift oscillator (100). By introducing a filter-order enhancing feedback loop (124) in association with a phase shift filter (122) in the oscillator, higher-order phase shift filtering can be achieved without using inductive elements as in conventional higher-order LC phase shift filters. This is a great advantage, since a high Q-value can be obtained without limited by the relatively high internal losses of inductive elements (L).

A phase interpolation voltage controlled oscillator includes a plurality of n phase shifting cells (A) and n-1 levels of summing cells (S). The phase shifting cells (A) receive a common input signal and each shifts the input signal a different amount than the other phase shifting cells (A). A summing cell (S) of the first level receives and sums the outputs of at least two phase shifting cells (A), and each remaining level of summing cells receives outputs of a previous level of summing cells (S). The last level contains a single summing cell (S) which produces an output signal that is fed back as the common input signal of the phase shifting cells (A).

Preferably said means for regulating the output power is a micro-controller (16) arranged on the same chip as the voltage controlled oscillator (3).

Reduced losses are achieved.
摘要:
A tuning circuit includes an oscillator that receives an oscillating input signal and a control signal, and generates an oscillating output signal. The control signal is obtained from a frequency control circuit that compares the phases of the oscillating output signal and a reference signal. The control signal controls the transconductance of a transconductance element in the oscillator, thereby controlling the oscillator output frequency. The oscillating input signal is obtained from an amplitude control circuit that detects an amplitude limit of the oscillator output. The oscillator output amplitude is responsive to the oscillating input signal. Frequency control and amplitude control in this tuning circuit are mutually independent, so their respective control loops remain stable under all frequency and amplitude combinations.
