    摘要: A fast chirp Phase Locked Loop (70) with a boosted return time includes a Voltage Controlled Oscillator, VCO, (12) generating a Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform, FMCW, (14). The VCO responds to a filtered output voltage (74) of a filter (72) connected to a charge pump (28). A digital controller (82) modifies the FMCW to generate a chirp phase (304) and a return phase (300). The chirp phase includes a first linear change of the FMCW from a start frequency (202) to a stop frequency (204). The return phase includes a second linear change of the FMCW from the stop frequency to the start frequency. A boost circuit (86) connects to the digital controller and the filter. The boost circuit supplies a boost current (98) during the return phase. The boost current is proportional to a return slope of the return phase and inversely proportional to a VCO gain of the VCO.

    摘要: An apparatus relates generally to multi-path digital predistortion. In this apparatus, a single-band digital predistorter engine has first and second sample paths. An input stage is coupled to receive input samples and configured to separate them into first samples and second samples. The input stage provides first and second magnitudes for the first and second samples, respectively. A first set of digital predistorters receives the first samples, the first magnitudes and the second magnitudes. A second set of digital predistorters receives the second samples, the second magnitudes and the first magnitudes. An output stage is coupled to receive predistorted outputs from the first set of digital predistorters and the second set of digital predistorters and is configured to provide a digital predistorted composite signal from the first set of digital predistorters and the second set of digital predistorters.

    摘要: The invention concerns a method for stabilizing the operation of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) monitored by a phase locked loop (PLL), the voltage-controlled oscillator delivering a RF signal and receiving via at least one disturbance path a frequency harmonics component equal or close to that of the RF signal, capable of disturbing its operation by injection pulling effect. The invention is characterized in that the method comprises a step which consists in injecting into the voltage-controlled oscillator a signal for compensating the injection pulling effect, whereof the phase and amplitude are adjusted to as to neutralize the effects of the disturbance harmonics component. The invention is applicable in particular to IQ phase modulation in radiotelephony.

    摘要: A technique of time dithering a fully digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) tuning input employs a shift register 1306 and a multiplexer 1308 responsive to a sigma-delta modulated delay control to minimize spurious tones generated by a DCO 200. The shift register 1306 is clocked via a divided-down high-frequency reference provided by the DCO 200 output signal. The multiplexer 1308 is clocked via a frequency reference that is reclocked and synchronized to the DCO 200 output signal. The multiplexer 1308 output is thus time dithered in response to a delay control to minimize perturbations caused by switching.

    摘要: A protection circuit includes a first controlled path for discharging negative ESD pulses introduced at a signal node (30). The first controlled path is from the signal node to (Vcc) via the source and drain electrodes of a first transistor (36). The gate of the transistor is at a soft ground by connection of the gate through a resistor (42) and an inverter (44) to a fixed voltage supply potential (Vcc). A second controlled path discharges positive ESD pulses via source and drain regions of serially connected second (50) and third (52) transistors to ground. The second transistor (50) has a gate tied at (Vcc) by means of a resistor (62) and an inverter (66) to ground. The third transistor (52) is at soft ground by means of a resistor (64) and inverter (68) to (Vcc). The third transistor is turned on by a positive voltage exceeding the threshold voltage of the third transistor, but the second transistor prevents damage to the third transistor by limiting the voltage applied to the third transistor. The protection circuit may include a third controlled path through a fourth transistor (54), if low voltage circuitry (32) is tied to the signal node (30). The fourth transistor (54) includes a gate that is tied high by connection of the gate to ground via a resistor (82) and inverter (84).
