摘要:
A method for mitigating phase pulling in multiple frequency source system includes generating a first signal, the first signal referred to as an existing signal operating at an existing frequency point, the existing signal having a predefined pulling bandwidth around the existing frequency point. A request is received to generate a prospective signal at a prospective frequency point which is within the predefined pulling bandwidth of the existing signal. The prospective frequency is removed from within the predefined pulling bandwidth, and the prospective and existing signals are generated at the corresponding frequency points.

A multiple frequency source system includes at least one frequency source tunable to a predefined target frequency, and at least one additional frequency source operable to generate a second signal at a frequency which is either higher or lower than the target frequency. A method for tuning the tunable frequency source to the target frequency during concurrent generation of the second signal includes (i) controlling the tunable frequency source to tune to at least one frequency point frequency lower than the target frequency, and thereafter controlling the oscillator to tune to the target frequency, when the second signal is higher in frequency than the target frequency, or (ii) controlling the tunable frequency source to tune to at least one frequency point higher than the target frequency, and thereafter controlling the tunable frequency source to tune to the target frequency, when the second signal is lower in frequency than the target frequency.

A tunable multiple frequency source system employing offset signal phasing includes a first frequency source, a phase delay element, and a second frequency source configured to operate concurrently with the first frequency source. The first frequency source includes an input coupled to receive a reference input signal and an output for providing a first frequency source signal. The phase delay includes an input coupled to receive the input reference signal, and an output, the phase delay element operable to apply a predefined phase delay to the input reference signal to produce a phase-delayed input signal. The second frequency source includes an input coupled to receive the phase-delayed input signal and an output for providing a second frequency source signal.

A phase-lock loop (PLL) filter architecture includes a first charge pump (508) and a second change pump (510). The second charge pump (510) operates in opposite phase of the first charge pump (508) in order to take away excess charge from the loop filter capacitor(s). By using a second charge pump as described, the PLL filter does not require the use of a large capacitor and can therefore be integrated.

摘要:
A first receiver frequency reference is passively coupled to a second receiver by tapping a signal directly from the resonant element, such as a crystal, of an oscillator in the first receiver to drive the input of the second receiver. The sinusoidal signal from the resonant element is relatively free of harmonics and minimizes interference that could be caused by harmonics of a square wave signal coupling or an amplified signal. The oscillator of each receiver can be selectively enabled or disabled to allow the receiver to either generate or receive the frequency reference. This technique of coupling can be used to couple a frequency reference signal between integrated circuit receivers.

A voltage controlled oscillator (38) includes an LC tank (20) and a capacitor bank (21). LC tank (20) includes an inductor (12) and a varactor (14). The capacitive output of the varactor is controlled by a control voltage &ngr;. To electronically tune the voltage controlled oscillator, a set of capacitors (24) in the capacitor bank (21) are enabled by a digital control signal based on a frequency comparison with a desired frequency. Once the capacitor bank is set, the frequency can be locked at the desired frequency by the phase lock loop.
