    摘要: The invention relates to a method of automatically calibrating a loop-filter of a phase locked loop, which loop-filter comprises at least one RC-filter component and is integrated on a single chip together with at least one RC-filter component of another entity than the phase locked loop. In order to simplify a calibration of the loop-filter, the method comprises tuning the at least one RC-filter component of the loop-filter based on measurements performed on the at least one RC-filter component of the other entity. The invention relates equally to an integrated circuit chip comprising means for realizing this method and to a unit including such a chip.

    摘要: An integrated tuner (100) includes circuitry (105) to receive a television signal, a quadrature mixer (110) coupled to the output of the circuitry, a polyphase filter (120) coupled to the output of the quadrature mixer (110), a relaxation oscillator (140), and a digital calibration module (130). The relaxation oscillator (140) generates a clock having a period that is directly proportional to the on-chip RC time constant. The clock is fed into a counter (160) of the digital calibration module (130). The counter (160) is started and stopped at predefined time intervals by a finite state machine (170). The finite state machine (170) updates the calibration code based on a successive approximation algorithm according to the end count results received from the counter (160). The digital calibration module (130) outputs the updated calibration code to the polyphase filter (120) and to the relaxation oscillator (140).

    摘要: A wheel monitoring system that includes a tracking filter apparatus for tracking a signal that has a varying main frequency. The tracking filter apparatus has an adjustable filter and a filter controller arranged to measure the amplitude of the filtered signal and to compare amplitude against a reference value. The filter controller adjusts the cut off frequency of the filter if the measured amplitude differs from the reference value by an amount that exceeds a threshold value. The filter controller adjusts the cut off frequency such that the main frequency lies within the roll off region of the filter's frequency response. The system may be used to track signals that are produced by shock sensors in a wheel mounted monitoring device.
