摘要:
A frequency synthesizer 10 having a digital to analog converter (DAC) 40 and a feedback system which detects the deviation of a frequency modulated signal and aligns the detected deviation. DAC 40 provides a presteering stimulus for alignment purposes. After presteering alignment, the gain of DAC 40 is accurately set for frequency deviation because modulation is sourced from the same digital to analog converter that performs presteering.

A frequency generator in which the PLL frequency synthesizer and the VCO are directly modulated by an input serial data stream for providing an FSK modulated RF output signal useful in narrowband data communication systems. The serial data stream may alternatively modulate either the PLL frequency synthesizer or the VCO alone.

There is disclosed a new and improved frequency modulation system and method for providing a frequency modulated signal which varies in frequency from a center frequency in response to the amplitude of an analog modulating signal. The system and method utilizes a frequency shift synthesizer to provide the frequency modulated signal and digital techniques for quantizing the amplitude modulating signal and providing dividing factors to the frequency shift synthesizer responsive to the amplitude quantization.

A frequency synthesized transceiver capable of tuning to a plurality of communication channels is disclosed. The transceiver includes a receiver section and a transmitter section which are coupled to the synthesizer which generates the appropriate injection signals to achieve tuning. The frequency synthesizer includes a multiposition switch which accesses various addressable memory locations in a programmable read-only memory where the appropriate divisors are stored to cause tuning of the synthesizer to the appropriate communication channel. A zone selector switch enables grouping and easy retrievability of channels. The divisors are supplied to a single synchronous binary swallow counter which works in conjunction with a dual modulus prescaler to monitor the frequency output of the voltage controlled oscillator. A programmable divider coupled to a reference oscillator source is compared with the output of the synchronous counter in a digital and analog phase detector. The phase detector supplies signals through a loop filter to apply the appropriate voltage to the voltage controlled oscillator. The phase detector includes means to rapid advance the voltage controlled oscillator to cause frequency tuning.

In a transceiver, a synthesizer includes a multiposition switch which accesses various addressable memory locations in a programmable read-only memory (PROM), where the appropriate divisors are stored to cause tuning of the synthesizer to the appropriate communication channel. A zone selector switch enables grouping and easy retrievability of channels. The divisors are supplied to a single synchronous binary swallow counter which works in conjunction with a dual modulus prescaler to monitor the frequency output of the voltage controlled oscillator. In the swallow counting device, two latches receive divisor related information supplied by the PROM. When the sampled state of a single up counter reaches a first latched number, the prescaler changes the modulus. Synchronous counting then continues, without reprogramming new values. When the up counter reaches a second latched number, a predetermined frequency ratio has been achieved, and the counter is reset.

A circuit for compensating quantized noise in fractional-N frequency synthesizer, comprising a PLL circuit that locks a phase compensated signal to a phase of a reference phase, wherein the phase lock loop circuit comprises a frequency divider and a phase frequency detector; a sigma-delta modulation and phase difference calculator coupled to the frequency divider generating an accumulated phase error by accumulating all previous differences between an input of the frequency divider and an output of the frequency divider within a period; a digital controlled delay line coupled to both the frequency divider and the SDM and Phase Difference calculator and generates the phase compensated signal by multiplying the accumulated phase error with a delay control word; and the phase frequency detector further generates a phase error by comparing the phase compensated signal with the reference clock.

摘要:
A phase-locked loop circuit includes a phase detector, a charge pump, a capacitor, and a capacitor multiplier. The phase detector receives a reference frequency and a feedback frequency to generate a up/down signal. The charge pump, which includes a positive node and a negative node, receives the up/down signal to generate a first current. The capacitor is coupled to the negative node. The capacitor multiplier, coupled to the negative node, generates a second current which is the first current divided by a first scaling number.
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.
