摘要:
The present invention discloses a continuous voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) frequency temperature compensation apparatus for a phase locked loop (PLL) and a continuous VCO frequency temperature compensation method for a PLL. The system utilizes a VCO with one digital coarse tuning input, a first analog fine tuning input, and a second analog fine tuning input. The system uses the second analog fine tuning inputs to compensate the VCO for frequency shifts due to temperature fluctuation. When the PLL transitions to the fine lock (FL) mode, the system starts driving the second fine tuning input with a differential amplifier. The differential amplifier compares the first fine tuning input with a reference voltage, and drives the second fine tuning input to compensate the first fine tuning input.

The current invention provides a second feedback loop around the existing FLL, which forces the signal on the route of N-divider (NDIV), PFD, CP, and LPF to essentially reach their desired lock conditions before the FLL is switched off and the system enters PLL mode. This loop works by comparing the output voltage of the FLL DAC to the LPF output voltage, and then using this value to modulate the divider's dividing value. After the secondary feedback loop settles, output voltage from the LPF will be equal to the value that can drive the VCO to the desired lock frequency, and the phase error at the input side of the PFD produces a zero-average current to the charge pump. When this condition is set, the loop is essentially already in phase lock and the lock transient from the FLL mode to the PLL mode will be minimal.

A method of multi-path searching in a cellular network is provided. The method carries out a correlation process over a predetermined integration period in relation to a first pilot signal received in connection with a first cell of the cellular network to generate first multiple correlation measurements corresponding to a plurality of time delays in the signal, analyzing the first multiple correlation measurements in relation to the time delays to identify multi-path positions in the signal. Information of the multi-path positions over a first predetermined integration period is stored as a first set of candidate multi-path positions and compared with a second set of candidate multi-path positions derived from second multiple correlation measurements corresponding to the time delays over a second predetermined integration period in relation to the first pilot signal, so as to confirm or reject candidate multi-path positions and define modified candidate multi-path positions.

Multiple data devices (A,B,C) are interfaced via a bus arbiter (S) with an external memory (F) so as to support burst-mode access by each device (A,B,C) one or more read registers (R1,R2,R3) are provided in the memory (F), and each register (R1,R2,R3) supports burst-mode access by a corresponding device (A,B,C). The arbiter (s) selects the register to be used following the initial access burst, according to the device requiring access. Thus, the memory (F) supports multiple burst-mode accesses in parallel.

A method for applying one or more code values to an input signal value to produce an output signal value in a CDMA communications scheme, wherein the code value or values may lie only either on or equally distant from an orthogonal pair of axes defining a two dimensional signal space, the input and output signal values each have components along each axis and the method comprises processing, via a logic function, the code value or values to produce two multiplier values and a selector value, creating two product values by multiplying the multiplier values with respective components of the input signal value, negating one of the product values to produce a third product value and selecting, on the basis of the selector signal, two of the three product values to become the components of the output signal value.
