摘要:
There are provided a transmitter and a wireless communication terminal apparatus using the same for solving a problem of undesired spurs due to harmonics of an output signal of a frequency synthesizer, and further solving a problem of the undesired spurs occurring when the harmonics of an output signal of a crystal oscillator are mixed into a VCO to facilitate to design a circuit or a mounting substrate. The transmitter has a relationship between an output frequency of a PLL frequency conversion circuit (5) and output frequencies of frequency synthesizers (1, 2) stored therein, and the output frequencies of the frequency synthesizers (1, 2) input into the PLL frequency conversion circuit (5) are controlled on the basis of the relationship so that the undesired spurs are suppressed. Thereby, even when the undesired spurs occur in the output of the transmitter due to a crosstalk between circuits or through a substrate, which can be easily suppressed, it is therefore possible to reduce time and cost for redesigning the circuit or the substrate.

An RF modulator that allows precise, stable phase shifts to be obtained. The modulator uses a PLL structure including an auxiliary feedforward path including an adaptive gain amplifier (411) used to inject a modulation signal into the PLL at a point past a loop filter (403). A phase demodulator (419) recovers from the output of the PLL phase information which is compared in a comparator (417) to the phase information of the modulation signal. A resulting error signal is used to control the gain of the adaptive gain amplifier (411). The modulator compensates for variability of the VCO (405) and other components of the PLL.

A phase comparator (106) compares a phase of the output signal of the quadrature modulator (104) with the phase of the signal obtained by frequency-converting the output signal of a first VCO (101) via the second VCO (102) and the first mixer (108). A PLL modulator includes a low-pass filter (107) filters a component below a predetermined frequency of the output signal of the phase comparator (106) and supplying the resulting signal to the frequency control terminal of the first VCO (101). The output signal (TS1) of the first VCO (101) is a modulated signal conforming to a modulation system having a constant envelope waveform, while the output signal of the quadrature modulator (104) is input to the first band-pass filter (110) and the output signal (TS2) of the first band-pass filter is a modulated signal conforming to a modulation system accompanied by an amplitude component as information.

The modulator also includes a comparator unit that receives the intermediate modulated signal and a reference signal, and produces an output transmission signal responsive to the intermediate modulated signal and the reference signal. The modulator also includes feedback circuitry that is coupled to the output transmission signal, and to the reference signal. The feedback circuitry is also coupled to the input modulation unit and produces the feedback signal responsive to the output transmission signal and the reference signal.

A clock circuit includes an oscillator (15) for generating a reference frequency signal, and a spread spectrum clock generator (14) cooperating with the oscillator for generating a spread spectrum clock output signal having a fundamental frequency and reduced amplitude EMI spectral components at harmonics of the fundamental frequency. The spread spectrum clock generator preferably includes a clock pulse generator for generating a series of clock pulses, and a spread spectrum modulator for frequency modulating the clock pulse generator to broaden and flatten amplitudes of EMI spectral components which would otherwise be produced by the clock pulse generator. The spread spectrum modulator frequency modulates the clock pulses with specific profiles of frequency deviation versus the period of the profile. Electronic devices including the spread spectrum clock circuit and associated method are also disclosed.
摘要:
In the method and circuit for creating a modulated signal, one input signal of a phase comparator (509) of a phase-locked frequency synthesizer is an offset frequency (f2), which is created from an adjustable oscillator's (511) output signal (fTX) by mixing it with a mixer frequency (f1) and filtering the obtained result in a low pass filter (508). The other input signal is a fixed reference frequency (fr). The adjustable oscillator (511) is controlled with a control signal (VCMOD), which contains a component resulting from the phase difference of said input signals (fr, f2). Modulation is created in the output signal (fTX) of the loop by adding a frequency or phase change to at least one of the input signals (fr, f2) or their derivatives, advantageously with pulse delay technology.
