Abstract:
A direct digital synthesis (DDS) circuit utilizes high order delta-sigma interpolators to remove frequency, phase and amplitude domain quantization errors. The DDS employs an n-bit accumulator operative for receiving an input frequency word (FCW) representing the desired frequency output and converts the frequency word to phase information based upon the clock frequency of the DDS. A high-order delta-sigma interpolator is configured in frequency, phase or amplitude domain to noise-shape the quantization errors through a unit defined by the transfer function of 1-(1−z−1)k in either a feedforward or feedback manner. The delta-sigma interpolator of any order can be implemented using a single-stage pipelined topology with noise transfer function of (1−z−1)k. The DDS circuit also includes digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that convert the outputted sine and cosine amplitude words to analog sinusoidal quardrature signals; and deglitch analog low-pass filters that remove the small glitches due to data conversion.

Abstract:
A coprocessor (15) for synthesizing a signal from the sum of sinusoids preferably includes an electronic system (20) having a host processor (12) that forwards frame boundary parameters to the coprocessor (15). Parameter registers (26) in coprocessor (15) store synthesis parameters for iteratively deriving amplitude and phase values for each sample point within a data frame. Adders (28, 30, 32) generate current amplitude from one addition, and current phase value from two additions, with the results stored back into parameter registers (26). A sine function calculator circuit (34), which may use a CORDIC technique, receives the current amplitude and phase values, and generates a digital component signal for the current sample point for one of the sinusoids. Digital component signals are accumulated at the sample point in a data sample buffer (40) and output at an output (44).

The frequencies which may be generated using direct lookup tables at their fundamental table frequencies are increased according to this invention by including multiple cycles of the waveform within a single table. The selection of a table length L and a number of cycles N to be stored in a lookup table is done in a manner to optimize corresponding values of the frequencies to be generated and the sample rate.
Abstract:
A clock generating circuit which generates a clock signal with a desired frequency. An adder adds a first predetermined value to a previous value stored in flip-flops to create a current value (first value). A subtractor computes the difference between a value obtained by adding a second predetermined value to the first value and a third predetermined value and outputs the resultant difference value as a second value. The first value increases every time a reference clock pulse is input. The resultant values are sent to a memory device via a selector and the flip-flops. When the first value gradually increases and finally exceeds a third predetermined value, the selector selects the second value instead of the first value, where the third predetermined value is set to the maximum address value of the memory device.
Abstract:
A direct digital frequency synthesizer increases the frequency resolution of the analog output signal by using fractionalization techniques. The best integer value I.sub.FR of a digital signal is determined and the next integer value I.sub.FR +1 of a digital signal is used to determine a weighted fractionalized value of the digital signal. The fractionalized value of the digital signal is used to synthesize the analog output signal having increased frequency resolution. In addition, IFR and IFR+1 are optimally distributed during the weighting process to ensure a minimum cumulative phase error.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus suitable for generating programmable digital sine waves which involves converting the output of a direct digital synthesizer or numerically controlled digital oscillator to a higher frequency with a multiplier-less structure that takes advantage of the properties of trigonometric identifies for sine and cosine. Sine waves are generated digitally using a phase accumulator which is clocked at one fundamental frequency. The phase accumulator input provides a control word which determines the intermediate frequency of the direct digital synthesizer output. Taking advantage of the periodicity of the phase accumulator operation, the outputs of the accumulator are utilized to address a read only memory ROM lookup table which produces in-phase and quadrature samples of the sine wave at the intermediate frequency. The in-phase and quadrature samples are then complemented (i.e. negated) to produce an additional set of in-phase and quadrature samples which are 180.degree. out of phase from the original samples. Switching between these four possible outputs at a higher fundamental clock frequency results in the translation of the intermediate frequency output to a higher frequency.
