Abstract:
A frequency synthesizer is composed of a reference oscillator, the first and the second integrators, a binary adder, a low pass filter and VCO forming a Phase Locked Loop (PLL). The first integrator, driven by the timing of a reference oscillator, integrates an externally supplied value K and generates the input signal. The second integrator, driven by the output signal of the VCO of the PLL, integrates an externally supplied value L. The binary adder detects the difference between the outputs of the first and the second integrators functioning as a phase comparator. The output of the phase comparator is converted into an analog voltage which is filtered to control the VCO to achieve frequency synthesis by the phase lock function of the loop.
Abstract:
In order to coherently demodulate an incoming multi-phase PSK analog signal irrespective of large frequency deviation, an automatic frequency feedback loop is provided. An analog baseband signal is generated by multiplying the IF analog signal by a local signal and then is converted into the corresponding digital baseband signal. A multiplier multiplies the digital baseband signal by another local signal. The output of the multiplier is further multiplied and then applied to a plurality of single-tuned filters which are arranged in parallel and have tuning frequencies each different from an adjacent frequency by a predetermined frequency interval. Each of the plurality of single-tuned filters generates a signal for use in carrier recovery, a frequency error signal and a correlation coefficient. Subsequently, one of the plurality of single-tuned filters is selected in a manner wherein the maximum value is detected among the correlation coefficients. The another local signal is generated using the frequency error signal of the single-tuned filter which has been selected. A modulating signal is reproduced using the recovered carrier in a conventional manner.
Abstract:
An N-channel FDM signal is converted into complex signals of baseband frequencies spaced at intervals equal to frequency .DELTA.f. The complex baseband signals are converted first into digital samples having a frequency N.DELTA.f and then into N parallel digital signals. A plurality of first FIR subfilters respectively perform filtering on each of the parallel digital signals at frequency .DELTA.f to produce a first series of filtered digital signals from each of the first FIR subfilters, and (m-1) groups of second FIR subfilters respectively perform filtering on each of the parallel digital signals at frequency .DELTA.f to produce a second series of filtered digital samples from each of the second FIR subfilters at timing displaced with respect to the first series by a/m.DELTA.f, where is an integer ranging from unity to (m-1) and m is an integer equal to or greater than 2. Outputs of the first FIR subfilters are combined with outputs of the second FIR subfilters to produce N summation outputs at frequency m.DELTA.f. An N-point Fast Fourier Transform processor performs fast Fourier transform on the N summation outputs at frequency m.DELTA.f to derive digital channels. Because of the oversampling at frequency m.DELTA.f, each of the digital channels has a frequency response which can be made flat over the bandwidth .DELTA.f.

Abstract:
An N-phase PSK demodulator is disclosed wherein all circuits therein operate in a frequency band equal to or below the carrier band. The locally reproduced carrier is generated by a phase locked loop in combination with a frequency converter means and a divide-by-two frequency divider. The frequency converter means consists of n identical frequency converter circuits connected in series, where 2.sup.n =N. For a 2-phase PSK demodulator where n=1, the 2-phase PSK modulated wave is applied as a first input and the reproduced carrier divided by two is applied as a second input to the frequency converter circuit. A mixer and filter provide as an output the difference frequency between the first and second inputs. The latter output is multiplied by two and applied as the input to the phase locked loop. Where n>1, the first input of each frequency converter circuit except the first is the output from the preceeding circuit, and the output from the last frequency converter circuit is the input to the phase locked loop.
Abstract:
In a high-power transmitter, an input complex signal is multiplied in a complex multiplier by control signals. The output complex signal from the multiplier is converted to a high frequency signal and amplified by a power amplifier for transmission. The amplitude of the input complex signal is detected to access a memory where amplitude and phase correction values are stored. During a read mode of the memory, a set of amplitude and phase correction values is specified by the detected amplitude and supplied to the complex amplifier as the control signals. During a write mode of the memory, a set of amplitude and phase correction values is specified by a delayed version of the detected amplitude and rewritten with a set of new amplitude and phase correction values. The amplified high frequency signal is down-converted to a low frequency complex signal. The nonlinearity of the power amplifier is determined from a delayed version of the input complex signal and the down-converted complex signal and the new amplitude and phase correction values are produced from the detected nonlinearity and delayed versions of the amplitude and phase correction values which were supplied to the complex multiplier. At intervals, the memory is switched from the read mode to the write mode for updating its contents.
