摘要:
A full duplex data transceiver for transmitting and receiving trinary frequency-modulated ("FM") signals representing binary data includes separate transmit and receive antennas, and a single oscillator which serves as both the radio frequency ("RF") signal source for the transmitter and the local oscillator "LO") signal source for the receiver. During signal transmission, the oscillator output is frequency-modulated to provide a FM transmit signal to the transmit antenna. The oscillator output is frequency-modulated with binary transmit data by modulating an error feedback signal which serves as the control voltage for a voltage-controlled oscillator in a phase-lock-loop, thereby producing the FM transmit signal. During signal reception, the oscillator output, in the form of the transmitted FM signal, is received via the receive antenna along with a FM receive signal for mixing therewith to down-convert the FM receive signal. As part of the demodulation of the down-converted FM receive signal, the binary transmit data is subtracted out. The FM transmit and receive signals are trinary (f.sub.-P, f.sub.c, f.sub.+P) and represent encoded binary data. The center frequency f.sub.c corresponds to an absence of a binary data signal transition, the lower peak frequency f.sub.-P corresponds to a negative binary data signal transition and the upper peak frequency f.sub.+P corresponds to a positive binary data signal transition.

A phase-locked loop incorporates a quadrature modulator for generating constant envelope phase or frequency modulation. Locating the quadrature modulator within the feedback loop or feeding the output signal of the quadrature modulator into the feedback loop permits accurate constant envelope phase modulation of the loop reference oscillator and completely suppresses undesired AM and PM components of the modulated signal.

A programmable low noise frequency modulated signal source including a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) having a frequency locked loop (FLL) constituting a first feedback path and a phase lock loop (PLL) constituting a second feedback path is provided. The PLL includes a VCO, a programmable fractional-N frequency division network for changing the rational number by which the VCO output signal is frequency divided, a phase detector for comparing the phase of the VCO output signal with the phase of a reference signal and for producing an error signal for controllably adjusting the output frequency of the VCO. The FLL includes a delay line frequency discriminator, a loop amplifier and filter to provide a first feedback signal to the VCO to thereby reduce the phase noise on the VCO output signal. The frequency discriminator includes a first signal path having a frequency sensitive time delay network to provide a phase shift as a function of the VCO output signal frequency and a second signal path which includes a voltage controlled phase shifting network. The VCO tune voltage derived from the PLL phase detector is coupled to an input terminal at the voltage controlled phase shifting network. The tune voltage adjusts the phase difference between the two frequency discriminator signal paths to set the operating point of the FLL phase detector such that the VCO output signal will have a desired frequency. Since the PLL VCO tune signal is coupled to the control input of the voltage control phase shifting network the FLL phase detector operates without an offset voltage at its output. Low distortion frequency modulation of the (FM) VCO output signal is achieved by coupling an FM signal to the voltage controlled variable phase shift network.
摘要:
A circuit for extending the frequency range of a digitally generated FM signal (f). A digital frequency generator (1) generates a precise FM waveform at a frequency up to about 50 MHz. Coupled to the FM signal (f) is a phase lock loop (53, 55, 57) comprising a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) (57) whose output frequency can be much higher than the frequency of the FM signal (f). In a first embodiment, a crystal oscillator (61), mixer (59), and low pass filter (63) are used to bring the output (f') of the VCO (57) down into the range of the digital frequency generator (1). In a second embodiment, an analog frequency divider (73) is used to bring the output (f') of the VCO (57) into the range of the digital frequency generator (1). In a third embodiment, the single sideband (SSB) generator (37) from the digital frequency generator (1) and a counter (66) are used in a partly analog, partly digital, negative feedback loop.

In order to deliver an angle-modulated output signal as a function of digital information, the frequency synthesizer delivers an output frequency F.sub.S =(N+k)F.sub.R, where N is the integral part of a number N+k and F.sub.R is a reference frequency. Provision is made for a variable oscillator, an oscillator control loop comprising in series a variable divider having a preselected divisor N, a phase comparator for receiving the reference frequency and a summing device. The synthesizer further comprises a phase accumulator for performing, at the frequency F.sub.R, modulo-M summation of a number G=k(M) applied to its input. The sum and carry outputs of the accumulator are coupled respectively to the summing device in order to deliver a signal for compensating the signal delivered by the phase comparator and to the divider for delivering a control signal to select the divisor N+1. An adder having one output coupled to the input of the phase accumulator receives a constant number g on one input and a number dg which is representative of the digital information on another input.

In addition, a transceiver may include quenching waveform generator (QWGs) to control quenching waveforms of the RF parts corresponding to a plurality of antennas. The quenching waveforms may be generated respectively by VCOs operating at a same frequency. The QWGs may control the VCOs such that the quenching waveforms do not overlap.

摘要:
A frequency synthesizer directly generates phase modulated radio-frequency (RF) signals. The frequency synthesizer includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) producing a synthesized frequency signal having a frequency controlled based on a signal received at an input of the VCO. A digitally adjustable frequency divider produces a reduced frequency signal from the synthesized frequency signal. A phase digital-to-analog converter (DAC) produces a delayed version of a timing signal (e.g., the reduced frequency signal, or a reference clock signal) that is delayed according to a digital control signal. A phase detector (PD) produces a phase control signal from the reduced frequency signal and/or the delayed timing signal. A digital signal converter controls the digitally adjustable frequency divider and the phase DAC so as to cause a phase or frequency of the synthesized frequency signal output by the VCO to track a desired phase or frequency trajectory encoded in a digital signal.
