    摘要: A phase detector using simple arithmetic operations to measure phase errors in the carrier-recovery mechanism for a DQPSK digital communications receiver. The carrier-recovery mechanism is a feedback loop that provides a synchronization between the oscillators in the transmitter and receiver of the communications system; the phase detector measures deviations from this synchronization and generates a phase-error signal used in the feedback loop to synchronize the oscillators. To perform this measurement, the phase detector takes the received signal as input and compares it against a local oscillator in the receiver to generate two digital signals: the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) components of the received signal. These signals are the input to a logic unit, which uses these two signals to determine the phase-error signal. In one embodiment of the phase detector, the logic unit analyzes the signs of the two digital signals and then accordingly adds or subtracts the I and Q signals to generate the phase-error signal. In another embodiment, the logic unit determines the magnitude of the phase-error signal by finding the difference in magnitudes of the two digital signals and constructing a phase-error signal proportional to this difference. The logic unit then determines the sign of the phase-error signal by analyzing the signs of the I and Q digital signals. The logic unit thus uses simple arithmetic operations to generate the phase-error signal, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the phase detector.

    摘要: A carrier-recovery loop for a receiver in a communication system with features that facilitate initialization of the loop. The carrier-recovery loop is a PLL that uses a feedback signal to keep a recovery oscillator phase-locked to the carrier of a received signal. In the present invention, an initializing value of the feedback signal is stored in a memory and provided to a digitally controlled recovery oscillator (DCO). This initializing value brings the recovered signal to an initial frequency that approximates the carrier frequency. When the receivers starts to acquire a phase-lock with the carrier, the carrier-recovery loop is in a condition close to the desired phase lock. Preparing the DCO in this manner imparts a significant improvement to the carrier-recovery loop. The response time for the loop to acquire a phase lock depends in part on its initial frequency offset from the carrier. In general, reducing this initial offset reduces the loop's acquisition time. By thus anticipating the frequency of the carrier, this carrier-recovery loop can have an improved acquisition time to reach phase lock. The initializing value of the feedback signal can be generated by recording a sample of the feedback signal when the carrier-recovery loop is phase-locked to a received signal or to an on-board crystal oscillator. The invention also includes a mechanism to correct drifts in the crystal oscillator's frequency.

    摘要: A clock switcher circuit for providing at least one set of clock signals selected from a plurality of clock sources. A first clock signal having a first pulse length and a second clock signal having a second pulse length are circuit inputs. Another circuit input is a clock selection input. When the clock selection input indicates a new output clock signal, different from the then current output clock signal, should be output by the circuit, the circuit provides a means for switching to output the new output clock signal. In switching to output the new output clock signal, the circuit prevents the occurrence of the output clock signal ever having a pulse shorter than the normal pulse length of the then current output clock signal, whether the then current output clock signal is the first clock signal or the second clock signal.

    摘要: Described herein is a system and method of disabling D bits in a CT2 MUX signaling channel. When the bit count equals the bit location of where the D bits are typically located in the signaling channel of a CT2 MUX, circuitry of the present invention disables a D bit enable signal from being processed. The D bit enable signal would typically allow a transmitter and receiver to, respectively, send a bit as a D bit, or process a received bit as a D bit. The suffix of the CT2 MUX, consisting of D bits, is unaffected by the present invention.
