    摘要: A novel apparatus for and a method of estimating, calibrating and tracking in real-time the gain of a radio frequency (RF) digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) in an all-digital phase locked loop (ADPLL). Precise setting of the inverse DCO gain in the ADPLL modulating path allows direct wideband frequency modulation that is independent of the ADPLL loop bandwidth. The gain calibration technique is based on a steepest descent iterative algorithm wherein the phase ADPLL error is sampled and correlated with the modulating data to generate a gradient. The gradient is then scaled and added to the current value of the DCO gain multiplier.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods, circuits and systems for image reject filtering in a multi-tap direct sampling mixer (MTDSM) of an IF or RF system. Disclosed is the use of rotating capacitors among the in-phase and quadrature branches of a signal processing system. The exchange of information among the branches of the I and Q channels is used in the implementation of a complex filter. Embodiments using cascaded multiple stages of the complex filter to provide higher order complex filters are also disclosed.

    摘要: System and method for providing type-II (and higher order) phase-locked loops (PLLs) with a fast signal acquisition mode. A preferred embodiment comprises a loop filter with a proportional loop gain path (proportional loop gain circuit 1115) and an integral loop gain block (integral loop gain block 1120). The proportional loop gain path is used during signal acquisition to provide large loop bandwidth, hence fast signal acquisition of a desired signal. Then, during the PLL's signal tracking phase, the integral loop gain block is enabled and its output is combined with output from the proportional loop gain path to provide higher order filtering of the desired signal. An offset that may be present due to the use of the proportional loop gain path can be measured and subtracted to help improve signal tracking settling times.

    摘要: A mixer 1100 with a plurality of signal paths typically requires separate clock generating hardware for each signal path. However, the redundancy of having multiple clock generating hardware significantly increases power consumption and integrated circuit area when the mixer 1100 is integrated into silicon. A method and apparatus 1125 containing a circuit for generating a set of clock signals that can be shared by the different signal paths is presented. Advantage is taken of the significant capacitance difference between different sampling capacitors in the mixer and the superposition property.
