An integrated circuit chip set is provided for use in a radio communication system in which a modulated digital input signal is processed for transmission and a modulated signal received from an antenna is processed to provide an output signal, wherein the modulation of the signals is either QPSK or FSK and the signal transmission and reception is by either TDD or FDD. The chip set includes an IF integrated circuit chip for processing a digital input signal to convert the digital input signal into an analog input signal and to provide the input signal at an intermediate frequency and for processing a received signal at the intermediate frequency to down convert the frequency thereof and to provide an output signal from the down-converted received signal; and an RF integrated circuit chip for processing the input signal provided by the IF chip at the intermediate frequency to up convert the frequency thereof to a transmission frequency and for processing a received signal provided at the reception frequency to down convert the frequency thereof to the intermediate frequency. The IF chip includes switches and terminals for enabling the IF chip to be connected for processing by the IF chip of QPSK-modulated signals or to be connected for processing by the IF chip of FSK-modulated signals; and the RF chip includes terminals for enabling the RF chip to be connected for processing by the RF chip of TDD transmitted and received signals or to be connected for processing by the RF chip of FDD transmitted and received signals.

Methods and apparatus for frequency synthesization are shown for generating an output signal of desired frequency. The frequency synthesizer includes an oscillator for generating an output signal at the desired frequency in response to a control signal. A first detector compares the output signal to a reference signal and generates a first difference signal representative of the differences, preferably in phase and frequency, between the output and the reference signals. A second detector compares the output signal to the reference signal and generates a second difference signal. A controller generates the control signal in response to either the first or second difference signal. A selector member selects between the first and second detectors to provide either the first or second control signal to the controller in response to a selection signal. A lock detector detects when the output signal and said reference signal are in a predetermined relation and generates the switch signal in response to the detection of the occurrence of such predetermined relation.

A direct digital frequency synthesizer generates an analog waveform of a predetermined frequency from accumulated digital frequency words which, as accumulated, represent the phase of a sine wave of the predetermined frequency. The synthesizer includes a phase accumulator, a 4-bit non-linear digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a sample and hold circuit. The phase accumulator includes a 4-bit coarse-component accumulator for accumulating coarse phase components of the digital frequency words and a fine-component accumulator for accumulating fine phase components of the digital frequency words. The phase accumulator increments the coarse-component accumulator in response to the accumulated fine phase components exceeding a predetermined value. The 4-bit non-linear DAC converts the four bits accumulated in the coarse-component accumulator into an analog waveform of the predetermined frequency. The phase accumulator suppresses the generation of spurious frequency components in the analog waveform by randomly dithering the rate at which the coarse component accumulator is incremented by the phase accumulator. The sample and hold circuit is coupled to the output of the nonlinear DAC for mitigating any glitch errors induced in the nonlinear DAC by sampling the analog waveform at such times as when glitch-induced errors are not present.

A digital phase locked loop circuit for use in synchronizing output timing pulses with the positive going zero-crossings of an input data signal by quantitizing the input analog data signal as digital information, storing the digital information at given times by timing pulses, pre-programming a counter with a count corresponding to the quantitized digital information stored, and advancing or lagging an updated timing pulse in accordance with the timed count of the program counter which count is synchronized with the zero-crossings of the input data signal, whereby the updated timing pulses move to synchronism with the zero-crossings of the input data signal.
