    摘要: Described is an apparatus that includes a frequency source and a plurality of time domain direct digital synthesizers each having an input connected to an output of the frequency source and an output providing an output frequency signal. A particular time domain direct digital synthesizer includes a sigma-delta modulator that functions as a second order multi-stage noise shaping sigma-delta modulator. In one exemplary embodiment sigma-delta modulator outputs provide a unitary-weighted word used to switch certain unit capacitors that comprise part of a delay modulator to produce a time-varying delay having a time-averaged value that directly corresponds to a binary value appearing on a plurality of phase accumulator outputs.

    摘要: A radio frequency receiver 30, 32, includes a first component block 12, 16, 18, 20; a second compensating component block 22, 22a-22b, 34; and control circuitry 26 operable for controlling the state (e.g., load, bias, gain) of the first component block. When the control circuitry 26 causes a change in the state of the first component block that is expected to induce a DC offset in a signal, the control circuitry 26 changes the state of the second component block to compensate for an estimate of the DC offset. Preferably, the second component block is a filter 22, 22a-22b, 34, that temporarily changes from a nominal cutoff frequency to an elevated cutoff frequency so that voltage will settle quickly and accurately at an estimated voltage, the estimated voltage being predetermined and based on the state change to the first component block. A method is also described for practicing the invention.
