摘要:
A heterodyne receiving circuit for a digital communication system including a first band pass filter receiving a signal from an antenna, an amplifying circuit and a second narrow band pass filter for selecting one particular channel within a band of frequencies. The two filters are carried out with integrated BAW-type tunable resonators which can be adjusted, respectively, by a first electrical signal and a second electrical signal generated by two PLL-type frequency control loops. The second frequency control loop has a variable division factor for the purpose of selecting one particular channel within said band of frequencies. In addition, the receiving circuit includes a mixer for mixing the signal generated at the output of said second filter with a local oscillation frequency in order to produce an intermediate frequency. The division factor is controlled by a digital processing of the intermediate frequency.

A phase-locked loop that can be integrated into a semiconductor product comprises: a phase comparator having a first input, a second input and an output, said first input receiving a reference frequency; a low-pass filter having an input connected to said output of said phase comparator and having an output generating an electric control signal (Vtune); an oscillating circuit generating a predefined frequency signal to be controlled; a dividing block having an input receiving the oscillating signal and an output connected to said second input of said phase comparator. The oscillating circuit comprises a BAW-type acoustic resonator having first and second resonant frequencies and associated with a first inductive partner element to cancel out said second resonant frequency and with a second capacitive partner element for regulating said first resonant frequency, said at least first resonator component being adjusted via said electric signal (Vtune).

An integrated electronic circuit comprises at least first and second variable resonator elements that can be tuned by means of an electric signal (Vtune) and that are arranged on the same silicon substrate, and that are respectively integrated into a Master circuit and a Slave circuit. Each resonator element is associated with a first inductive partner element set in the vicinity of the resonant and antiresonant frequencies; and with a second capacitive partner element, at least one of said partner elements being adjustable by means of said electric signal (Vtune). Controlling both partner elements could be done either by means of an adjustable capacitor, as a varactor, or by means of an inductor, passive or active, fixed or variable.
