摘要:
A digital demodulator which coherently demodulates a low-IF or zero-IF complex signal using a complex-valued phase-locked loop (CPPL). The CPPL includes a numerical controlled oscillator, four multipliers and two combiners to provide independent phase/frequency and amplitude outputs. The CPLL exhibits in first order PLL dynamics without a loop filter in the feedback loop to the NCO. However a filter with one or more poles may be included in the feedback circuit to exhibit 2nd or higher order PLL dynamics. The CPLL allows coherent demodulation of extremely low FM modulation indexes whereby the incoming frequency drift may be larger than the frequency deviation. It can also be used to coherently demodulate signals which have combined amplitude and phase characteristics.

A QAM data signal timing recovery loop feedback element provides a fixed sampling time offset adjustment to two continuously variable digital rate interpolators/decimators to produce a quadrature output stream at a programmed rational rate multiple of the actual baud rate of the received data signal. The continuously variable digital rate interpolators/decimators are configured at startup so as to produce output streams at the same programmed rational rate multiple of the nominal baud rate of the anticipated received data signal, assuming the fs sample timing offset adjustment stream provided by the timing recovery feedback element to be identically 0. The “nominal” fixed sampling rate fs of the received analog input signal need not be rationally related to the nominal baud rate of the anticipated received data signal.

A receiving circuit mainly available in a digital modulation type communication system having a plurality of channels, which is capable of reducing power in a receiving system, simplifying the circuit and reducing the power consumption. Upside and downside frequencies corresponding to a central value between channels are separately supplied from a local frequency signal generating circuit 4 to first and second frequency converting circuits 2, 3 so that two output signals are developed with respect to one of a desired wave, upside channel and downside channel. The desired wave present in common in the first and second frequency converting circuits 2, 3 is extracted in a common wave extracting circuit 5, and a frequency offset of &ohgr;o existing in the output of the common wave extracting circuit 5 is removed a frequency offset circuit 6 and further an unnecessary frequency component is filtered by a filter 8. In addition, the common wave extracting circuit 5 has transformers and, using its inductances, raises the difference between the common wave and the non-common wave within the circuit to more than two times that of a prior art.

A digital data demodulator employs a cordic rotator-based, digital phase locked loop for carrier frequency tracking. Digitized I and Q channels downconverted to baseband using a fixed frequency oscillator are coupled to a digital cordic rotator. The cordic rotator iteratively executes pipelined phase-rotational adjustments of its digitized in-phase and quadrature inputs, in association with a pipelined reduction of the accumulated value of a phase angle vector code generated by digital phase error detection logic circuitry to which rotated I and Q outputs of the cordic rotator are applied. The phase error representative code vector is coupled through a digital loop filter as a reference angle input to the cordic rotator. The cordic rotator iteratively rotates the I and Q channel values that reduce the accumulated phase error to zero.

A digital demodulation apparatus for performing a stable oscillation operation has a simple circuit configuration. The digital demodulation apparatus includes a pulse width counter for measuring a cycle of a modulated signal to generate digital cycle information. A first digital filter equalizes the digital cycle information to generate averaged cycle information. A comparator compares the digital cycle information and the averaged cycle information to generate a bi-phase signal. A phase-locked loop generates a clock signal having a frequency according to the averaged cycle information and a phase being synchronized with the phase of the bi-phase signal.

In a phase-locked loop circuit with a signal estimator such as MLSE or DDFSE for correctly detecting and correcting a phase deviation, the phase deviation is held within a predetermined value by amplitude limiting a phase deviation signal obtained from a received signal and a replica signal. Thus, the phase deviation signal is free from a large error irrespective of generation of an estimation error in the MLSE or DDFSE.

At the time of ordinary communication, up-mixer 108 combines a signal with a frequency f2 from frequency synthesizer 124 with I and Q signals for transmission that are quadrature modulated in quadrature modulator 105, down-mixer 115 combines the signal with the frequency f2 with a received signal, then only in the case of receiving a signal with a frequency fr′ different from a frequency fr, frequency synthesizer 125 that generates a signal with a frequency f3 different from the frequency f2 is operated, and frequency synthesizer 125 and down-mixer 115 are connected with switch 127, so that down-mixer 115 combines the signal with the frequency f3 with a received signal. It is thereby possible to switch frequencies fast and with low current consumption in receiving a signal with a reception frequency other than a combination of transmission frequency and reception frequency specified in an ordinary radio system.

A method for detecting the lock-in of a loop that synchronizes an internal clock on the transmission of value pairs provided by a demodulator. According to the method, a module of a vector that has as components the values of one of the value pairs is calculated, and the module is compared with a threshold that is smaller than a theoretical module. The locked-in condition is determined according to the ratio of the number of modules found to be greater than or smaller than the threshold to the total number of modules. In one preferred method, the threshold is incremented by a first value if the module is greater than the threshold and is decremented by a second value if the module is less than the threshold. A lock-in detection circuit for detecting the lock-in of a loop is also provided. A calculation circuit calculates a module of a vector that has as components the values of one of the value pairs. A register stores a threshold and a comparator compares the stored threshold with the calculated module. A modification circuit modifies the stored threshold based on the comparison result, and an analysis circuit analyzes the stored threshold to determine the locked-in condition.
摘要:
Symbol synchronization in a continuous phase modulation receiver is achieved by calculating an arctangent function of a digital sample of the output of a quadrature demodulator. This signal is sampled by integration techniques or filtered to produce signals that represent a complex value whose phase changes at a rate which is half of the symbol rate. The complex value may be squared and rotated by an angle which is related to the symbol phase. The integrated sample or an arctangent function of the filtered sample is used as a controlling input for a numerically controlled oscillator which regulates the digital sampling.
