The arrangement comprises a phase locked loop circuit with at least two control value storage units and at least one controlled oscillator unit, wherein the control value storage units being configured to selectively output a control signal to the at least one voltage controlled oscillator unit, causing generation of one of the at least two predetermined frequencies.

    摘要: In multiple-channel microwave transmitters and communications systems, such as multi-point video distribution systems operating at frequencies of around 29 GHz or 40 GHz, good frequency stability for each of the channel frequencies is achieved with a feed-back loop including an error detector circuit. The error detector circuit (39,29) is coupled between a sampler and an input circuit of the source. This detector circuit detects any drift or other error in the carrier frequency of the sample from the desired microwave frequency for that channel signal and provides a corrective signal to the input circuit. The part of the feed-back loop comprising at least a part of the detector circuit is common to a group of the channels. Switch means couple the common part of the feed-back loop between the sampler and the source input circuit of each channel, and so permit this common part to be time multiplexed between the respective feed-back loops of the group of channels. The input circuit for each source applies an up-datable bias signal for regulating the frequency of the source in accordance with the last corrective signal generated by the detector circuit for that source. By adopting such a stabilisation arrangement in accordance with the present invention, expensive component parts of the feed-back loop can be common to a group of the channels, so reducing the assembly cost of the multiple-channel transmitter. Good long-term frequency stability for all the channels can be obtained, including a reliably constant frequency relationship between the channels.

    摘要: A phase-locked loop capable of generating a plurality of stable frequncy signals. This loop includes a plurality of voltage controlled oscillators which are sequentially coupled to the output of a phase sensitive detector by a multiplexer. RF switches then sequentially couple, in synchronism with the multiplexer, the oscillator outputs to a programmable divider which, in turn, is coupled to an input of the phase sensitive detector, the other input thereto being coupled to a reference oscillator. The dividing factors for the programmable divider are inputted thereto, in synchronism with the multiplexer, from a memory.

    摘要: A simultaneous multichannel signal generator incorporating phase-locked l frequency correction. For each channel, there is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) set to an appropriate frequency by a tuning signal and modulated by a channel data signal. The output signals from all VCO's are provided to a summer and then are appropriately amplified and filtered for transmission. A single multiplexed frequency correction circuit compares the phase of a reference frequency signal with the phase of a VCO output signal whose frequency has been divided, by a divide-by-N counter, to the reference frequency. If the divided VCO signal is out of phase with the reference frequency signal, an appropriate correction signal is provided to the device providing voltage control for that VCO.
