    Abstract: A digital frequency synthesizer with an automatic calibration system. The digital frequency synthesizer is calibrated by initiating a coarse tuning operation to rapidly reach a preliminary frequency that is proximate to the desired final frequency. A calibration procedure is then executed for adjusting gain in the frequency synthesizer based on the preliminary frequency. This test involves applying one or more test signals to the frequency synthesizer and measuring a signal generated in the frequency synthesizer. This measured signal corresponds to a gain response of the circuit at the preliminary frequency. When the expected gain is known, any difference relative to the gain of the measured signal is used to adjust the gain in a circuit of the frequency synthesizer such that the actual gain substantially matches the expected gain.

    Abstract: An error detecting unit of a phase-locked oscillator evaluates difference between a reference phase error signal output from a phase detector and a phase error signal actually output from the phase detector when a reference frequency modulation signal is output from a voltage-controlled oscillator and further detects a frequency error of the frequency modulation signal from the voltage-controlled oscillator based on a rate of change of the difference. A correction unit of the phase-locked oscillator calculates an average value of the frequency error in a predetermined section of the frequency modulation signal and corrects center frequency of the frequency modulation signal by correcting the average value to be zero, and changes the rate of change of control voltage per control step based on comparison between at least two frequency errors in one cycle of the frequency modulation signal. Thus frequency shift of the frequency modulation signal is corrected.

    Abstract: A PLL circuit for two point modulation includes a first loop filter, a second loop filter, a plurality of switching devices, and a calibration module. The first loop filter filters an output voltage of a charge pump during a gain calibration operation. The second loop filter filters the output voltage of the charge pump during a normal operation. The first loop filter has a bandwidth wider than that of the second loop filter to perform a fast calibration by reducing a lock time. The operation of the first loop filter, the operation of the second loop filter, and the opening of the first loop filter are determined by the switching operations of the switching devices. The calibration module adjusts a gain of analog modulation data based on a frequency error accumulated in the first loop filter after the first loop filter is open during the gain calibration operation.

    Abstract: A multiple path angle modulator includes a closed secondary loop added to a main control loop to automatically adjust a scaling factor related to high frequency gain. The main control loop is configured as a primary path to process the low frequency portion of the angle modulation signal, and the secondary loop is configured as an auxiliary path to process the high frequency portions of the angle modulation signal. The secondary loop senses calibration information and uses it to continuously calibrate the gain within the modulation loop in real time while the system performs its primary operation, thereby eliminating the need for a system shut down or calibration specific timing, such as a lapse time, to balance the modulation paths. Calibration is continuously performed as a background process. The angle modulator is applicable to all modulation type systems.
