    摘要: A transmission line (218) is formed to have a characteristic impedance which increases at a first substantially exponential rate with respect to a distance from the input (202). A plurality of resonators (206-214) are coupled to the transmission line and positioned at a plurality of locations along the transmission line. The plurality of resonators has resonant frequencies that decrease at a second substantially exponential rate with respect to the distance from the input. An output signal (810, 812) is obtained at a point in the filter that produces a filter response having a corner frequency.

    摘要: A communication receiver (600) utilizes a band-pass sigma-delta converter (100) for receiving a radio signal. The band-pass sigma-delta converter (100) includes a comparator (106) coupled to an adder-filter (101) for making a comparison between a predetermined reference level (110) and an intermediate signal (125), and for generating a comparison result signal (114) responsive to the comparison. A storage element (108) is used for storing the comparison result signal (114) for a predetermined delay period, thereby producing a clocked output signal (118). The adder-filter (101) is coupled to an analog signal (103) and to the clocked output signal (118) for subtracting the clocked output signal (118) from the analog signal (103) to produce a difference signal (120) that is filtered by a commutating filter (400) for generating the intermediate signal (125) responsive to the difference signal (120).

    摘要: A method is used by a detector (102) for extending the operating frequency range of a phase lock loop (100). The detector (102) detects a phase-frequency difference between a reference signal (109) and a generated signal (108) of the phase lock loop (100). The detector (102) includes a divider (202) for counting transitions of the generated signal (108) and a logic element (204) and counter (212) for detecting when the frequency of the generated signal (108) is such that the divider (202) operates outside its linear frequency range in relation to a predetermined transition of the reference signal (109). The detector (102) further includes a register (206) for recording a phase value of the divider (202) coincident with the predetermined transition, or a constant phase value (304, 306) when the frequency of the generated signal (108) is operating outside of the linear range of the divider (202).

    摘要: A selective call receiver (500) includes a radio receiver (501) and a processor (508). The radio receiver includes an antenna (502), a combination circuit (204), a bandpass filter (208), mixers (212, 214), analog-to-digital converters (222, 224), digital mixers (234, 236), a second combination circuit (242), and a digital-to-analog converter (246). The combination circuit receives an analog signal from the antenna and combines the same with an analog feedback signal generated by the digital-to-analog converter. The bandpass filter filters the output of the combination circuit and supplies its output to the mixers which down-convert the signal to baseband signals. These signals are modified by the analog-to-digital converters to digital signals which are up-converted by the digital mixers. The outputs of the digital mixers are combined by the second combination circuit to a digital output that is modified by the digital-to-analog converter to the analog feedback signal.

The quantized linear section includes multiple quantized integrators coupled to the sample clock and intercoupled in a linear intercoupling. The non-linear section is coupled in a feedback manner with the quantized linear section. The output section generates a random binary output signal having the sample clock rate, formed by a logical combination of binary signals, of which one binary signal is generated by each of the multiple quantized integrators. Each quantized integrator includes an analog to digital converter that preferably includes a sigma delta converter that generates one of the binary signals.
