摘要:
A 'gain control differential pair' (GCDP) (10) conducts current in response to a differential drive signal, with the gain of a signal path formed via the current circuit of one of its transistors controlled by the drive signal. The GCDP is preferably driven with a drive circuit (20) that receives a symmetrical input signal and produces an offset differential drive signal which has the effect of keeping one of the GCDP's transistors turned off over a wider portion of a symmetrical input signal's voltage range, thereby reducing GCDP-caused noise. One or more GCDPs are implemented as part of a Gilbert mixer (30) to regulate the amount of RF current that flows between the mixer's output and input stages, which eliminates the need to provide gain control in other circuits fed by the mixer. When driven with an offset drive signal, the Gilbert mixer simultaneously provides gain control, low distortion, low power consumption and excellent LO/RF isolation.

In a receiver for use in demodulating a modulated wave modulated by a digital data signal arranged within a preselected channel to produce a reproduced data signal by the use of a local frequency signal of a local frequency, a VCO and a PLL circuit are intermittently put into active states with reference to an offset frequency between a channel frequency and the local frequency. The PLL circuit is put into the active state for a time interval determined by the offset frequency before reception of the preselected channel while the VCO is put into the active state during the active state of the PLL circuit and during reception of the preselected channel. The duration of the active state in the PLL circuit becomes long when the offset frequency does not fall within a predetermined range determined by predetermined offset frequencies and, otherwise, the duration of the active state in the PLL circuit becomes short. The offset frequency is detected by a frequency detector which produces a control signal appearing only when the offset frequency is present outside of the predetermined range. The control signal is sent to a control circuit for controlling battery saving operations of the VCO and the PLL circuit.

A receiving circuit mainly available in a digital modulation type communication system having a plurality of channels, which is capable of reducing power in a receiving system, simplifying the circuit and reducing the power consumption. Upside and downside frequencies corresponding to a central value between channels are separately supplied from a local frequency signal generating circuit 4 to first and second frequency converting circuits 2, 3 so that two output signals are developed with respect to one of a desired wave, upside channel and downside channel. The desired wave present in common in the first and second frequency converting circuits 2, 3 is extracted in a common wave extracting circuit 5, and a frequency offset of ωo existing in the output of the common wave extracting circuit 5 is removed a frequency offset circuit 6 and further an unnecessary frequency component is filtered by a filter 8. In addition, the common wave extracting circuit 5 has transformers and, using its inductances, raises the difference between the common wave and the non-common wave within the circuit to more than two times that of a prior art.

A radio receiver arrangement utilising direct conversion or conversion to a low IF frequency, in which the local oscillator signal is frequency modulated to avoid the possibility of the local oscillator frequency drifting into a zero beat frequency region where only a d.c. voltage will be obtained from the mixer.

Disclosed is a multiplying circuit in which a pair of common-base transistors (13, 14) each having a small emitter area are inserted between the common emitter terminals of first and second differential amplifiers (1,2; 3,4), which amplify a signal input to an input terminal pair and are connected in such a way as to cancel out their outputs which correspond to the input signal, and the output terminal pairs of multiple third differential amplifiers (5,6; 7,8), which amplify a signal input to another input terminal pair and have a predetermined DC offset characteristic.

A zero-IF radio receiver eliminates DC offset without distortion or loss of the low-frequency and DC components of the received or desired signal by initially differentiating the received signal to filter out the DC offset. The signal is amplified to a suitable level and then integrated to recapture the original DC and low frequency signal components. The integration essentially restores the filtered components to the original value in the amplified signal using an arbitrary constant of integration of bounded magnitude to generate a restored signal. Using various techniques that exploit predetermined signal patterns or inherent signal properties of the desired signal, the DC offset can be reasonably estimated. The DC offset estimate is then subtracted out of the restored signal leaving the amplified, received signal substantially free from distortion. An advantageous method for differentiating and digitizing the received signal uses the technique of companded delta modulation.

Bei einer Phasenvergleichsschaltung mit einer Doppelgegentakt-Mischstufe, der ein Sinsussignal sowie dieses Sinussignal in Gegenphase und ein Rechteck-Schaltsignal gleicher Sollfrequenz zugeführt sind, ist vorgesehen, daß zwei aktive Stromspiegelschaltungen eingesetzt sind, in denen wenigstens zwei gemeinsame Gegenkopplungsschaltungselemente vorgesehen sind, von denen das erste in der eingangsseitigen Gegenkopplung der ersten Stromspiegelschaltung und in der ausgangsseitigen Gegenkopplung der zweiten Stromspiegelschaltung und das zweite in umgekehrter Weise wirksam ist. Die beiden Stromspiegelschaltungen werden mittels einer Schaltstufe wechselweise im Halbperioden-Takt des Schaltsignals an die beiden Gegentakt-Mischstufen geschaltet.
