    Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator of a phase locked loop circuit having digitally controlled gain compensation. The digital control circuitry provides binary logic input to the voltage controlled oscillator for a digitally controlled variable resistance circuit, a digitally controlled variable current transconductor circuit, or differential transistor pairs having mirrored circuitry for adjusting the V-I gain. The latter configuration requires the voltage controlled oscillator to incorporate a source-coupled differential pair which is driven by a low pass filter capacitor output voltage, and connected to load transistors; a current source and a current mirror for generating a tail current; individual banks of transistors to mirror the load transistor currents; a digital-to-analog converter with control lines outputted there from, the digital-to-analog converter used to increase the amount of current allowed to flow to the transconductor output, the current being digitally increased and decreased corresponding to an amount of current pulled from the current source, and mirroring the current through at least one transistor mirror circuit.

    Abstract: A resonator (50) is connected in circuit with a negative resistance element (Q3,Q4) for producing oscillation at a resonant frequency of the resonator (50). A digital phase shifter (58) is incorporated into the resonant frequency in accordance with an applied digital signal. The resonator (50) can be connected in series with the negative resistance element (Q3), in which case the phase shifter (58) is connected as either a short-circuit or an open-circuit transmission line. Alternatively, the resonator (50) can be connected in parallel with the negative resistance element (Q4) in a feedback loop. An analog phase shifter (84) can also be provided in the resonator (50') for continuously variably setting the resonant frequency over the tuning increments of the digital phase shifter (58).

    Abstract: A phase modulator includes a digital frequency word generator, an adder and a register arranged to generate recurrent digital sawtooth signals at a carrier rate. A second digital adder is coupled to receive the sawtooth signals and also receives digital information signals. The adder produces recurrent digital sawtooth signals phase-modulated by the information signal. A pair of adders receive the digital sawtooth signals and mutually sign-reversed digital information signals to produce a pair of oppositely phase-modulated constant-amplitude signals in a pair of channels. A sine memory is addressed by the phase-modulated digital sawtooth signals to produce phase-modulated sinusoidal-representative digital signals. The digital signals are then converted to analog signals. Since the two channels contain signals which are phase-modulated but not amplitude-modulated, the signals may be amplified by nonlinear amplifiers. An adder is coupled to the outputs of the two channels to sum together the two phase-modulated signals to produce an amplitude-modulated signal. Combinations of amplitude and phase modulation may be generated by a combined structure.
