    摘要: The present invention relates to circuitry for a receiver having a low cost filter using automatic alignment of the center frequency of signals input to the filter to suppress noise and out-of-band signals from the filter output over a narrow bandwidth. An RF input signal to the receiver is downconverted to an IF frequency using a VCO, and the IF signal is provided to the low cost filter. The output of the filter is input to a frequency correction circuit and a distortion detection circuit. The distortion detection circuit provides an error signal including positive frequency shift errors determined from digital ones identified from the filter output signal, and negative frequency shift error signals determined from digital zeros in the filter output signal. The distortion detection circuit output is then provided through an infinite impulse response filter which integrates the distortion detection output to provide a voltage control signal to a voltage control input of the VCO and the frequency correction circuit. The VCO then automatically centers the frequency of the signal input to the low cost filter to suppress noise and out-of-band signals, and the frequency correction circuit removes error correction frequency shift provided by the VCO after downconversion. For battery powered devices, the infinite impulse response filter can maintain the state of the voltage control signal provided to the VCO upon receipt of a sleep mode signal after the sleep mode signal is disabled.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for frequency synthesization are shown for generating an output signal of desired frequency. The frequency synthesizer includes an oscillator for generating an output signal at the desired frequency in response to a control signal. A first detector compares the output signal to a reference signal and generates a first difference signal representative of the differences, preferably in phase and frequency, between the output and the reference signals. A second detector compares the output signal to the reference signal and generates a second difference signal. A controller generates the control signal in response to either the first or second difference signal. A selector member selects between the first and second detectors to provide either the first or second control signal to the controller in response to a selection signal. A lock detector detects when the output signal and said reference signal are in a predetermined relation and generates the switch signal in response to the detection of the occurrence of such predetermined relation.

    摘要: A low cost, high performance near direct conversion FM receiver having a single local oscillator is configured to equalize in-phase and quadrature-phase IF signals. The receiver includes a downconverter and a processor. The downconverter receives an RF signal and downconverts the RF signal to an in-phase IF signal (IF.sub.I) and a quadrature-phase IF signal (IF.sub.Q). The processor digitizes IF.sub.I and IF.sub.Q, corrects these signals so that they are substantially equal in magnitude and substantially 90.degree. out of phase, and then downconverts the IF signals to baseband signals (I, Q).
