    摘要: A frequency synthesizer (100) is used for generating a plurality of signals operating at a plurality of frequencies that are integer multiples of a reference frequency. The frequency synthesizer (100) includes a plurality of phase lock loops coupled to a single phase error detector. The phase error detector (103) is connected to a reference signal (104), a first generated signal (116) and a sampler signal (136) derived from a second generated signal (132). The phase error detector (103) includes a shared counter (118), and first and second registers (106, 122) connected to the output of the shared counter (118). First and second phase lock loops (101, 105) are used for phase locking to the reference signal (104). The first and second phase lock loops (101, 105) derive phase error signals from the first and second registers (106, 122), thereby adjusting the first and second generated signals (116, 132).

    摘要: A current controlled variable frequency oscillator (260) operates at a characteristic frequency that is determined primarily by a scaled current. A filter cascade (320) receives the scaled current for setting a filter cascade frequency substantially equal to the characteristic frequency. Additionally, the filter cascade (320) receives a triangular signal at a non-inverting input, the filter cascade (320) converting the triangular signal into a sinewave signal. A lowpass filter (330) receives the scaled current for setting a lowpass filter frequency to a frequency substantially less than the characteristic frequency. The lowpass filter (330) also receives the sinewave signal and provides an average signal therefrom. A comparator (340) receives the scaled current, wherein the comparator (340) compares the sinewave signal and the average signal for providing a substantially squarewave signal therefrom. An integrator (310) is provided for receiving the scaled current, the integrator (310) integrating the substantially squarewave signal for providing the triangular signal therefrom.

    摘要: A method and apparatus determine an instantaneous phase difference (207) between a reference signal (103) and a controlled signal (120). The reference signal (103) is derived by frequency dividing a first signal by a counter (106) including an output (107) having K sequential states, wherein K is an integer value equal to the frequency of the first signal (103) divided by the frequency of the desired reference signal, and wherein the output (107) changes by no more than one bit between any adjacent states of the K sequential states. The output (107) of the counter (106) is recorded (206) at a time concurrent with a first predetermined event occurring in the controlled signal (120), thereby generating a recorded count value that is free from metastability induced errors. The recorded count value is decoded (208) to produce a sequential state number S.sub.E corresponding to the first predetermined event. The instantaneous phase difference (207) is then calculated (210) from S.sub.E, K, and other predetermined constants.

    摘要: A duplexer is provided in which a transmit input signal is fed in parallel through two autotransformers to a pair of portal loops for establishing an interrogation field. Significantly lower voltage response signals returning via the autotransformers are applied in push-push relationship to the primary of one transformer for producing a difference signal output, and in parallel to a second transformer primary for producing a sum signal output. Back-to-back diodes across the secondary windings of the sum and difference output transformers limit the volt drop across the respective primaries for the relatively higher voltage transmit input signal. The response signal, however, is below the threshold of the diodes and, consequently, the diodes do not attenuate such signal.
