Abstract:
Systems and methods of using an artificial neural network processing module to compensate a control voltage and create a linear output response for an electronic oscillator to produce a target frequency. The artificial neural network processing module includes one or more neurons which receive one or more inputs corresponding to the control voltage. The artificial neural network processing module is configured to provide a correction based at least in part on the control voltage and pre-calculated DAC values. The pre-calculated DAC values are determined in part by predetermined or predefined pull ranges and linear control voltage transfer functions. The artificial neural network processing module can preferably achieve a control voltage tuning linearity better than 0.5% linearity over an entire tuning range of +−75 ppm.
