Oscillators (10) which oscillate at a fundamental frequency also generate harmonics. The fundamental frequency or a lower harmonic is used for feedback purposes, and a harmonic higher than either the fundamental frequency or the lower harmonic is used for output purposes. As a result, the oscillators (10) operate at a lower frequency than an output frequency and are low cost. Synthesizers (20) coupled to the oscillators (10) also operate at this lower frequency, and modulators (5) comprising such oscillators (10) and synthesizers (20) are low cost. A lower power consumption and less sensitivity to disturbing fields are further advantages. Filtering has become less complicated, and a smaller number of components has resulted in smaller dimensions. The oscillators (10) comprise tuning circuits (11) and amplifiers (12), which amplifiers (12) are fed back via feedback circuits (13). Such an amplifier (12) may comprise just a single transistor (40).

Multiple carrier frequencies are provided from a phase locked loop, especially closely adjacent quadrature amplitude modulated subcarriers for multiplexed data communications. A quadrature voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and cascaded frequency dividers provide feedback to a phase comparator to lock the VCO to a reference signal. In addition to frequency divider outputs for use as subcarriers, e.g., binary division factors of the VCO frequency, a quadrature mixer multiplies and adds corresponding quadrature components at two of the frequencies, to generate a differential signal at a difference frequency. The mixer may be outside of the feedback signal path but preferably is in the feedback path to suppress noise. A polyphase filter converts the mixer output to a quadrature signal useful as a subcarrier. The technique efficiently generates sequential integer multiples of a basic frequency, such as sixteen adjacent integer multiples of a frequency reference.

The voltage controlled oscillator includes an oscillating transistor, and first and second inductance elements which are connected in series and provided between an output terminal of the oscillating transistor and a high frequency ground point Vcc. Oscillating signals are output from the output terminal of the oscillating transistor and a connecting point between the first inductance element and the second inductance element, respectively. The output terminal of the oscillating transistor outputs a fundamental wave having a high level, and the connecting point between two inductance elements outputs the harmonic wave, suppressing the fundamental wave.

A comb frequency generator that is tunable to vary the width of the pulses in the output signal and achieve a maximum power output at different harmonic frequencies. A wavefront compression device receives a sinusoidal input signal and provides wavefront compression to create a compressed signal having a series of periodic fast edges. A delay device receives the fast-edge compressed signal and delays the fast-edge signal to create a delayed fast-edge signal. A combining device receives the original fast-edge compressed signal and the delayed fast-edge compressed signal to generate an output signal including a series of pulses having a width determined by the delay of the delayed signal. In one embodiment, the delay device is a shorted transmission line stub having a length selectively set by a series of MEM devices. In another embodiment, the delay device is an NLTL variable time delay device that delays the fast-edge signal.

A low phase noise crystal oscillator with supply noise filtering is provided and may comprise receiving an input voltage at a positive potential input of an oscillator circuit, which may comprise an oscillator core and a buffer coupled to an output of the oscillator core. Noise caused by the input voltage that may affect the buffer may be filtered using a resistor coupled between the positive potential input of the oscillator circuit and the input voltage, and a capacitor coupled between the positive potential input of the oscillator circuit and a ground of the oscillator circuit. The noise may be filtered via a low pass filter, which may comprise at least the resistor and the capacitor. A cutoff frequency may be selected for the low pass filter, and a resistance value for the resistor and a capacitance value for the capacitor may be selected appropriately.

摘要:
A two-stage direct conversion receiver. A first mixer (13) converts the incoming signal to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. A second mixer (16) converts the IF signal to a baseband signal. A detector (17), receiver logic circuit (18), and alerting device circuit (19) act upon the baseband output signal. A two port oscillator (14) provides a fundamental frequency output (FO) and a tripled output frequency (3 FO). The tripled output frequency is again tripled (9 FO) by a frequency multiplier (15) and is provided as a mixing signal to the first mixer (13). The fundamental frequency output is provided to a phase locked loop (20, 21, 22). The output frequency (FV) of the phase locked loop is doubled (2 FV) by a frequency multiplier (23) and provided to a phase shift circuit (24). The output of the phase shift circuit (24) is provided as the second mixing signal to the second mixer (16). The phase locked loop comprises a phase locked loop controller (20), a phase locked loop filter (21), and a voltage controlled oscillator (22). The main oscillator (14) is configured as a crystal controlled Colpitts oscillator, which has an emitter resonant circuit selected to produce oscillation at the fundamental frequency, and a collector resonant circuit selected to extract the third harmonic of the fundamental oscillation frequency. A single active device can therefore provide both the fundamental frequency and the third harmonic frequency. Calibration of the receiver is effected by simply tuning the oscillator (14) to produce a baseband output signal at the output of the second mixer (16). Single step calibration is therefore effected because the voltage controlled oscillator (22) is locked to the main oscillator (14).
