    摘要: A low input prescaler (800) that is responsive to input signals having low amplitude alternating current (AC) components includes a switched tunable prescaler (280) that generates a prescaler output signal (221) having a prescaler output frequency during an operational state of the prescaler and having a free-running frequency that is responsive to a tuning control signal (216) during a tuning state of the prescaler. A frequency comparator (235) generates a comparator output in response to a difference between a reference frequency and the prescaler output frequency. A prescaler tuner (290, 390) adjusts the tuning control signal in response to the comparator output during the tuning state to minimize the difference between the reference frequency and the prescaler output frequency, and holds the tuning control signal during the operational state. The prescaler is used in phase lock loops (200, 400, 600) and other circuits.

    摘要: A system is provided for compensating for tuning gain variations in a phase lock loop. Compensation is performed by a calibration system that estimates the tuning gain of the oscillator and then adjusts the charge pump current value by a ratio of the nominal tuning gain to the measured tun gain. The tuning gain measurement is performed by measuring the change in the voltage controlled oscillator's tuning control voltage when the phase lock loop is locked to two different frequencies, which are separated by a fixed, predetermined amount. The two frequencies may be above or below the final output frequency of the VCO, or the second frequency may be the final frequency in order to reduce calibration time and settling time.

    摘要: The present invention is a phase dithered digital communications system that includes a digital receiver, and uses phase dithering to spread the energy of one or more system clocks to minimize receiver de-sensitization. Phase dithering uses a single frequency for each system clock; however, the energy of each system clock is spread over a range of frequencies by changing the duty-cycle of each clock half-cycle. A non-phase dithered clock drives the sampling clock of a receiver analog-to-digital converter to provide accurate correlation with received information, which may allow use of a higher frequency sampling clock than in frequency dithered designs. Phase dithered clocks and non-phase dithered clocks may have constant frequencies that are related to each other by a ratio of two integers; therefore, the time base used for extracting received data is always correlated and accurate.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for switching from one phase-locked loop feedback source to another in a radio frequency (RF) transmitter. The RF transmitter includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) that provides a phase-modulated RF input signal and power amplifier circuitry that amplifies the RF input signal to provide an RF output signal. The PLL includes switching circuitry that couples a feedback path of the PLL to an output of the PLL for open loop operation and couples the feedback path of the PLL to an output of the power amplifier circuitry for closed loop operation. Prior to switching the feedback path from the output of the PLL to the output of the power amplifier circuitry, time alignment circuitry operates to time-align feedback signals from the outputs of the PLL and the power amplifier circuitry such that switching from open loop operation to closed loop operation causes minimal phase disturbance.

    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.
