    摘要: The current invention provides a second feedback loop around the existing FLL, which forces the signal on the route of N-divider (NDIV), PFD, CP, and LPF to essentially reach their desired lock conditions before the FLL is switched off and the system enters PLL mode. This loop works by comparing the output voltage of the FLL DAC to the LPF output voltage, and then using this value to modulate the divider's dividing value. After the secondary feedback loop settles, output voltage from the LPF will be equal to the value that can drive the VCO to the desired lock frequency, and the phase error at the input side of the PFD produces a zero-average current to the charge pump. When this condition is set, the loop is essentially already in phase lock and the lock transient from the FLL mode to the PLL mode will be minimal.

    摘要: A system providing a phase or frequency modulated signal is provided. In general, the system includes a phase locked loop (PLL) having a fractional-N divider in a reference path of the PLL operating to divide a reference frequency based on a pre-distorted modulation signal. Pre-distortion circuitry operates to provide the pre-distorted modulation signal by pre-distorting a modulation signal such that a convolution, or cascade, of the pre-distortion and a transfer function of the PLL results in a substantially flat frequency response for a range of modulation rates greater than a bandwidth of the PLL.

    摘要: A fractional-N based Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) system for a mobile terminal is provided. In general, automatic frequency control is implemented in a frequency synthesizer to correct or compensate for a frequency error of an associated reference oscillator. The frequency synthesizer includes a first fractional-N phase-locked loop (FN-PLL) generating a baseband clock signal used by a baseband processor of the mobile terminal, a second FN-PLL generating a receiver local oscillator signal used by a receiver of the mobile terminal to downconvert a received radio frequency signal to a desired frequency, and a translational PLL generating a transmitter local oscillator signal used by a transmitter of the mobile terminal to provide a radio frequency transmit signal. The automatic frequency control is performed by applying a digital correction value, which is preferably multiplicative, to fractional-N dividers of the first and second FN-PLLs.

    摘要: A fractional-N offset phase locked loop (FN-OPLL) is provided. The FN-OPLL includes a fractional divider, a phase detector, a loop filter, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and feedback circuitry. Combiner circuitry combines an initial fractional divide value and a modulation signal to provide a combined fractional divide value. Based on the combined fractional divide value, the fractional-N divider divides a reference frequency and provides a divided reference frequency to the phase detector. The phase detector compares a phase of the divided reference frequency to a phase of a feedback signal to provide a comparison signal. The comparison signal is filtered by the loop filter to provide a control signal to the VCO, where the control signal controls a frequency of an output signal of the VCO. The output signal is processed by the feedback circuitry to provide the feedback signal to the phase detector.
