    摘要: A multi-tap, digital-pulse-driven mixer advantageously avoids local oscillator (11) leakage by shifting the local oscillator frequency (F LO ) out of the received frequency band. Low noise figures are advantageously realized by the use of digital pulses (51, 52) as mixer drive signals (16).

    摘要: The application of a non-zero voltage offset to rotating capacitors 1111 and 1112 permit the use of a single positive voltage supply. However, the precharging of the rotating capacitors 1111 and 1112 is power inefficient. A power efficient and low-noise precharging operation is realized through the sharing of the charge on a feedback capacitor 1075 and 1080 that is significantly larger than the rotating capacitors 1111. Once a precharging operation is complete, the charge on the feedback capacitor 1075 and 1080 is refreshed from its residual charge level (rather than zero charge level) to a desired charge level.

    摘要: A digital fractional phase detector (200) is provided to realize a frequency synthesizer architecture (100) that naturally combines transmitter modulation capability with a wideband all-digital PLL modulation scheme to maximize a digitally-intensive implementation by operating in a synchronous phase domain. Synchronous logic is provided across a digitally controlled VCO (104) and is synchronous to the VCO output clock by implementing a timing adjustment in association with a reference calculation to allow a frequency control word to contain both channel information and transmit modulation information. The digital fractional phase detector (200) is capable of accommodating a quantization scheme to measure fractional delay differences between the significant edge of the VCO output clock (110) and a reference clock by using a time-to-digital converter (201) to express the time difference as a digital word for use by the frequency synthesizer.

    摘要: There is provided a digital fractional phase detector (200) comprising a first input to receive an oscillator clock signal (CKV) and a second input to receive a frequency reference clock signal (FREF). A time-to-digital converter TDC (201) is coupled to said first input and said second input, said TDC producing a signal indicative of timing difference between said oscillator clock signal and said frequency clock signal. A normalizer (NORM) is coupled to said TDC (201), said normalizer producing an output, wherein said output is normalized to a period of said oscillator clock signal. Also provided is a method of generating a fractional phase error signal whereby a timing difference between an oscillator clock signal and a frequency reference clock signal is obtained, and then normalizing said timing difference to a period of said oscillator clock signal.

    摘要: A sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter offers advantages such as noise shaping and high frequency operation. However, a sampling circuit needed to provide a highly oversampled discrete-time sample stream with low noise characteristics is difficult to design and implement. The present invention provides a sigma-delta mixer 300 with such a sampling circuit 310. The present invention discloses a sampling circuit using switched capacitors 307, 308, and 309 with low noise characteristics and at the same time is capable of providing a highly oversampled discrete-time sample stream.
