    摘要: In one embodiment the present invention includes a method of generating an oscillating signal at different frequencies. The method comprises configuring a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). The DCO is configured to generate the oscillating signal at a first frequency, and the DCO is configured to generate the oscillating signal at a second frequency. Additionally, the DCO is configured to transition from the first frequency to the second frequency during a transition time period. During the transition time period, the DCO activates the second frequency and deactivates the first frequency during a plurality of time intervals. The time intervals for activating the second frequency and deactivating the first frequency successively increase from the beginning of the transition time period to the end of the transition time period.

    摘要: Circuits and methods for frequency modulation (FM) using a digital frequency-locked loop (DFLL). A digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) generates and adjusts a frequency of a modulated signal based on a digital tuning word. A DFLL control logic circuit receives a feedback of the modulated signal and generates a carrier signal word. A sigma delta modulator circuit receives an input signal and applies dithering to produce a dithered input signal word. An adder circuit receives and sums the dithered input signal word and the carrier signal word to produce the digital tuning word. The DFLL control logic circuit adjusts the carrier signal word to lock a carrier frequency of the modulated signal.

    摘要: Devices and systems for providing reduced cost and increased reliability power line communications (PLC) and electrical power to a network device using a PLC supply unit via a single cable with 2 wires are disclosed. The PLC supply unit receives a PLC power and data signal, extracts the power signal, the data signal and generates a timing signal based on the power signal. The PLC supply converts the electrical power signal from an alternating current (AC) to a direct current (DC) electrical power signal and then recombines the DC electrical power signal with the data signal and the timing signal and sends the composite signal to the network device. The network device receives the composite signal and uses the DC electrical power signal to power the network device and, at an internal PLC processing module, processes the data signal for communication with other network devices using the timing data.

    摘要: The disclosure can provide methods and systems for autocalibrating a transceiver. The method can include upconverting a bandpass input signal by mixing the bandpass input signal with a first local oscillator signal to form an initial transmitter signal. The initial transmitter signal can be looped back to a receiver and downconverted with a second local oscillator signal having a frequency that is different from the first local oscillator to form an intermediate frequency signal. At least one of a gain and a phase of the transmitter can be adjusted based on a transmitter image sideband of the intermediate frequency signal to generate a calibrated transmitter signal having minimized transmitter image sideband.
