    摘要: A method of achieving reduced modulation range requirement in a Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) which is deployed as part of a DRP (Digital Radio Processor) and tuned to a tuning frequency range having operating-channel center-frequencies, wherein phase difference between consecutive samples is termed as FCW (Frequency Control Word), uses the steps of digitally modifying and limiting the FCW so that the FCW does not exceed known FCW thresholds, e.g., chosen from π/2, π/4, π/8, and redistributing the FCWs while maintaining a cumulative sum of phases and without significant EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) degradation. The FCW threshold can be chosen arbitrarily and need not be in the form of π/2n. The method uses a FCW limiting algorithm which reduces supply voltage sensitivity of the DCO and enables significant reduction in area of capacitor bank which would be otherwise needed.

    摘要: Example embodiments of the systems and methods of dynamic spur mitigation for wireless receivers disclosed herein comprise one or more of a detection module for detecting the presence of a spur and a determination of its frequency, a complex notch filter chain, and a frequency locked loop which ensures that the input spur is notch filtered even if it drifts after detection. When a spur is detected, the frequency of the tone is determined. The spur is then filtered, for example using a phase rotator and a DC separator. The phase rotation is removed in a subsequent stage. The non-DC component from the DC separator is used to track the spur to compensate for any shifting or drifting in the spur.
