摘要:
Methods and apparatus for frequency synthesization are shown for generating an output signal of desired frequency. The frequency synthesizer includes an oscillator for generating an output signal at the desired frequency in response to a control signal. A first detector compares the output signal to a reference signal and generates a first difference signal representative of the differences, preferably in phase and frequency, between the output and the reference signals. A second detector compares the output signal to the reference signal and generates a second difference signal. A controller generates the control signal in response to either the first or second difference signal. A selector member selects between the first and second detectors to provide either the first or second control signal to the controller in response to a selection signal. A lock detector detects when the output signal and said reference signal are in a predetermined relation and generates the switch signal in response to the detection of the occurrence of such predetermined relation.

A phase lock loop (PLL) circuit for controlling an oscillator includes a phase comparator, a loop filter, a reference converter and a feedback converter whose performance characteristics are dynamically controlled so as to provide a phase-locked output signal with both high frequency stepping resolution and low phase locking time. The phase comparator compares the relative phases of the reference and feedback signals, and outputs a phase difference signal representing such phase comparison. The loop filter, in accordance with a filter bandwidth dynamically selected by a filter control signal, filters the phase difference signal to provide a frequency control signal for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The reference converter is a programmable frequency divider which, in accordance with a reference proportionality factor dynamically selected by a reference control signal, reduces the frequency of the PLL reference signal frequency used by the phase comparator. The feedback converter is another programmable frequency divider which, in accordance with a feedback proportionality factor dynamically determined by a feedback control signal, reduces the frequency of the VCO feedback signal frequency used by the phase comparator. Each combination of a selected filter bandwidth, a reference proportionality factor and a feedback proportionality factor corresponds to a different time interval within which phase lock is achieved.

Both a forward path (14) and a feedback path (16) are D.C. modulated. D.C. modulation of the feedback path (16) optionally includes changing the frequency in the feedback path (16) as a function of the frequency of a modulation oscillator (64), changing the frequency in the feedback path (16) by a plurality of pulses for each cycle of the modulation oscillator (64), removing pulses from the feedback path (16), adding pulses to the feedback path (16), dividing the frequency in the feedback path (16) by higher and lower dividing ratios, preventing one cycle in the feedback path (16) from developing a "high" in the feedback path (16), holding a "high" in the feedback path ( 16) between two adjacent pulses, mixing quadrature frequencies with the feedback frequency in the feedback path (16), changing one input to a variable modulus divider (48) by means of a parallel adder (272), and using logic elements (148) to remove pulses from the feedback path (16).

A radio communication apparatus capable of carrying out transmission and reception of signals at a time has a frequency synthesizer and a frequency modulator both in novel structures for removing interference between a local signal and a transmission signal. The frequency synthesizer has a local oscillator controlled by a first phase comparator for phase-comparing a frequency divided output of the local oscillator and a reference frequency signal to provide a local signal. The frequency division of the output of the local oscillator is effectd by a first frequency divider for dividing the frequency of the output of the local oscillator and a variable division ratio frequency divider for dividing the frequency of the output of the first frequency divider. The frequency modulator has a transmission oscillator controlled by a second phase comparator for phase-comparing the output of the first frequency divider and a frequency divided output of the transmission oscillator to provide a transmission signal. The frequency division of the output of the transmission oscillator is effected by a second frequency divider.

The frequency divider includes a first or prescaling counter which selects between first and second frequency division factors, in response to a first control signal, and then divides an input signal frequency responsive to the first control signal. A second and programmable counter frequency divides the output of the first or prescaling counter by a third frequency-division factor. A third and programmable counter frequency divides the output of the first counter by a fourth frequency-division factor which is smaller than the third frequency-division factor. A switching control circuit then converts the output of the third counter and supplies the converted signal to the first counter, as the first control signal. The digital frequency divider is suitable for use a part of a phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer.

In a frequency synthesizer phase locked loop including a reference oscillator, a variable reference divider (.div.M), a sample and hold phase detector, a loop filter, a voltage controlled oscillator and a variable divider (.div.N), a voltage converter for controlling the voltage of a control input to the voltage controlled oscillator is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the voltage converter has its input connected to the output of a first reference divider in the variable reference divider (.div.M) and its output connected to a control input (varactor diode) of the voltage controlled oscillator. The voltage converter clamps the divider reference signal from the first reference divider and provides a negative voltage level output to bias the varactor diode of the voltage controlled oscillator. Thus, the tuning range of the frequency synthesizer is increased.
