摘要:
Systems for controlling the frequency of the output signal of a controllable oscillator in a frequency synthesizer are provided. One such system comprises a controllable oscillator and a frequency control circuit. The controllable oscillator is configured to generate an output signal that has a predefined frequency. The controllable oscillator is also configured with a plurality of operational states that are controlled by the frequency control circuit. Each operational state of the controllable oscillator defines a distinct frequency for the output signal of the controllable oscillator. The frequency control circuit receives the output signal of the controllable oscillator and determines the distinct frequency for the output signal that best approximates the predefined frequency. The frequency control circuit may also provide a control signal to the controllable oscillator that is configured to change the controllable oscillator to the operational state corresponding to the distinct frequency that best approximates the predefined frequency.

Systems for controlling the amplitude of the output signal of a controllable oscillator in a frequency synthesizer are provided. One such system provides a circuit having a controllable oscillator and an amplitude control circuit. The controllable oscillator is configured to generate an output signal having a predefined frequency and a predefined amplitude. The controllable oscillator is also configured with a plurality of operational states that are controlled by the amplitude control circuit. Each operational state of the controllable oscillator defines a particular current bias associated with a distinct amplitude of the output signal of the controllable oscillator. The amplitude control circuit receives the output signal of the controllable oscillator and determines the amplitude. When the amplitude of the output signal of the controllable oscillator is less than the predefined amplitude, the amplitude control circuit provides a control signal to the controllable oscillator. The control signal is configured to change the controllable oscillator to the operational state corresponding to the distinct amplitude that best approximates the predefined amplitude.

A direct division modulator is provided. The direct division modulator includes a symbol mapper converting the input data from a binary bitstream to a desired frequency deviation, such as where the frequency deviation data encodes the information from the bitstream. A converter generates a divide value using the desired frequency deviation information, and a summer adds an average value to the divide value. A converter quantizes the divide value and shapes quantization noise associated with the quantized divide value. A divider modulates a reference signal with the quantized divide value and generates an output signal.
