Performance indicator circuitry is provided for characterizing performance of a phase locked loop (PLL) in a phase path of a polar modulator or polar transmitter that is used to generate a phase modulated RF signal. The PLL includes an oscillator, a high pass path, and a low pass path. The low pass path includes a loop filter. The performance indicator circuitry includes first input circuitry and parameter calculation circuitry. The first input circuitry is configured to input a loop filter signal from the loop filter. The parameter calculation circuitry is configured to compute a value for a performance indicator based on the loop filter signal and control or characterize an aspect of operation of the PLL based on the value.

A digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) supporting two-point modulation with adaptive delay matching is described. The DPLL includes highpass and lowpass modulation paths that support wideband and narrowband modulation, respectively, of the frequency and/or phase of an oscillator. The DPLL can adaptively adjust the delay of one modulation path to match the delay of the other modulation path. In one design, the DPLL includes an adaptive delay unit that provides a variable delay for one of the two modulation paths. Within the adaptive delay unit, a delay computation unit determines the variable delay based on a modulating signal applied to the two modulation paths and a phase error signal in the DPLL. An interpolator provides a fractional portion of the variable delay, and a programmable delay unit provides an integer portion of the variable delay.

A transmitter in which the problem of unwanted spurious signals due to harmonics of the output signal from a frequency synthesizer and due to mixture of harmonics of the output signal from a crystal oscillator into a VCO and which facilitates the design of circuits and mounting boards, and a terminal using the transmitter are disclosed. In the transmitter, the relationship between the output frequency of a frequency converting circuit (5) comprising a PLL and the output frequencies of frequency synthesizers (1, 2) is stored. By controlling the output frequencies of the frequency synthesizers inputted to the frequency converting circuit (5) according to the relationship, the unwanted spurious signal is suppressed. Thus, even if an unwanted spurious signal is included in the output of the transmitter because of the crosstalk between circuits and boards, the spurious signal can be suppressed, thereby shortening the time to re-design circuits and boards and reducing the re-designing cost.

A method and apparatus for direct-conversion transmission generates a first frequency signal that is non-harmonically related to a transmit frequency signal, divides the first frequency signal to obtain a mixing frequency signal, divides the first frequency signal to obtain an intermediate frequency reference signal, generates the transmit frequency signal by using the mixing frequency signal to downconvert the transmit frequency signal into an intermediate frequency feedback signal, and phase-locks the intermediate frequency feedback signal to the intermediate frequency reference signal. The transmit frequency signal may be phase modulated, and may serve as an input to a saturated-mode power amplifier that can be configured for corresponding amplitude modulation. Alternatively, the un-modulated transmit frequency signal serves as the carrier signal input to a quadrature modulator, which imparts I/Q modulations to it, thereby producing a modulated carrier signal for input to a linear power amplifier.

There provides a two-point modulation phase modulation apparatus capable of obtaining an RF phase modulation signal of superior modulation precision with low power consumption and a simple configuration even in the event of inputting a wide band baseband modulation signal. A differentiator (21) of the opposite characteristics to the attenuation characteristics of anti-alias filter (22) is provided at the front stage of a D/A converter (6). As a result, it is possible to sufficiently suppress an alias signal without raising the sampling frequency of the D/A converter (6) (i.e. low power consumption) using an anti-alias filter (22) of a simple configuration (i.e. low cost) with a low order for a narrower bandwidth than a PLL modulation frequency bandwidth, and it is possible to obtain an RF phase modulation signal where the entire frequency band of input digital baseband modulation signal (S1) is reflected in a superior manner.
摘要:
A voltage controlled oscillator (1), a variable frequency divider (2), a phase comparator (3), and a loop filter (4) form a Phase Locked Loop (PLL). A sigma-delta modulator 5 sigma-delta modulates data obtained by adding a fractional part (M2) of the frequency division factor data with modulation data (X) by using an output signal of the variable frequency divider (2) as a clock. An output signal of the sigma-delta modulator (5) is added to an integral part (M1) of the frequency division factor data, and the resultant data becomes effective frequency division factor data (13) of the variable frequency divider (2). An output signal of the sigma-delta modulator (5) also becomes control data (14) after passing through a D/A converter (6), a low-pass filter (7), and an amplitude adjustment circuit (8). The control data (14) is inputted into a frequency modulation terminal of the voltage controlled oscillator (1). Therefore, it is possible to provide a frequency modulator that can use a reference signal source having no frequency modulation function, and perform modulation over a wide range of frequencies based on a digital modulation signal.
