Abstract:
In order to output amplitude data with the clock frequency higher than the clock frequency of phase data, the direct digital synthesizer for transmission and detection comprises: a transmitting phase for outputting a first phase data with a first clock frequency; a curtailing unit for outputting a second phase data with a second clock frequency smaller than the first clock frequency, and outputting additional data for compensating for phase information disappeared with curtailing process; an interpolating unit for outputting a third phase data with a third clock frequency larger than the first frequency by implementing interpolating process to the second phase data, and a detecting waveform for outputting amplitude data in accordance with the third phase data. The detecting signal amplitude data can be outputted with the third clock frequency higher than the second clock frequency of the second phase data transmitted.
Abstract:
A direct digital synthesizer (DDS) has reduced spurious signals and includes a DDS core that produces a digital representation of a signal to be synthesized. A plurality of DDS circuits are operatively connected to the DDS core, each having a digital-to-analog converter connected to the DDS core for receiving the digital representation and converting it into a signal. A modulator is operatively connected to an oscillator circuit and digital-to-analog converter for receiving signals from the digital-to-analog converter and producing a modulated output signal. The individual frequencies of the respective DDS circuits are randomly and continuously changed from each other. A mixer receives and mixes the modulated output signals from the plurality of DDS circuits to create a mixed output signal at a selected and fixed frequency.
Abstract:
A frequency synthesiser according to the direct digital synthesis method is provided. The frequency synthesiser includes a phase accumulator for the cyclical incrementation of a phase signal by a phase increment M present at the input of the phase accumulator, a memory unit with a table of sine-function values stored in its memory cells for the determination of sine-function values corresponding to phase values of the phase signal, a digital-to-analog converter for the conversion of time-discrete sine-function values into a quasi-analog sinusoidal time function and an anti-aliasing low-pass filter for smoothing the quasi-analog sinusoidal time function. The frequency synthesiser additionally contains an adder, which is connected between the memory unit and the digital-to-analog converter and which superimposes a non-periodic signal over the time-discrete sine-function values.

Abstract:
In a circuit and a method of clock interpolation, an input signal at a first frequency is processed and at least one output signal having a second frequency being a multiple of the first frequency of the input signal is output. The circuit is defined by the fact that the input signal is measured with respect to frequency and phase in a PLL frequency measuring circuit, and by the fact that the measured input signal is multiplied by at least one frequency multiplier and an oscillator that follows the frequency multiplier.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an all-digital frequency synthesizer circuit using interpolation technique and Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR). This synthesizer adaptively outputs two sequences stored in a bank of memory, or shift register. Using the idea of interpolation, all synthesizable frequencies located between two predetermined threshold frequencies can be obtained, and resolution is determined by the order of LFSR thereby. A frequency synthesizing system is also included in the present invention.

Abstract:
A direct digital synthesizer that suppresses phase jumps which would invite the generation of spurious signals. Out of phase data supplied by a phase accumulator, the value of any rounding error arising at the time of phase computation is entered into a variable delay circuit, and the phase of a signal obtained by phase-amplitude conversion is controlled to compensate for any phase jump in the output signal.
Abstract:
A timing signal generator including a direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS), a divide-by-N counter, and a pattern generator, produces a TIMING signal conveying a timed sequence of pulses. The pattern generator produces a sequence of data pairs (FREQ,N), with each pair being produced in response to each pulse of the TIMING signal and indicating a time interval that is to occur between that TIMING signal pulse and a next TIMING signal pulse. The DDFS produces an output sine wave signal (SINE) having a frequency controlled by the current FREQ data output of the pattern generator. The divide-by-N counter produces the timing signal pulses. It counts cycles of the SINE signal occurring since it last produce a TIMING signal pulse and generates a next TIMING signal when it has counted the number of SINE signal pulses indicated by the current N data output of the pattern generator.
