The reference clock signal f1 that described reference clock unit 401 provides phase demodulation to use.
Level conversion unit 402 is the signal fr with PECL level with reference to the level conversion of clock signal f1, wherein level conversion unit 402 can be as shown in Figure 5 a, adopt comparator circuit to realize this level conversion unit 402, described reference clock signal f1 is sinusoidal wave, utilize level conversion unit 402 that sine wave is converted to the PECL level, for ECL phase discriminator 403, use, in Fig. 5 a, reference clock signal f1 is from position 2 inputs of comparator 501; Comparative voltage is by position 1 access of comparator 501; Position 3 is the final output of comparator 501, is the square-wave signal that meets the PECL level.As shown in Figure 5 b, in Fig. 5 b, 2 for reference clock signal f1 input waveform, is sine wave for the input of comparator 501 each positions, signal output waveform; 1 is comparative voltage, is constant direct voltage, and comparing voltage value is set to the dc-bias V ' of reference clock signal input; 3 outputs that are comparator 501, when the instantaneous value when 2 is greater than comparative voltage, output PECL high level V h, when the instantaneous value when 2 is less than comparative voltage, output PECL low level V l.Can also use the ECL NAND gate in other embodiments, NOR gate etc. realize the level conversion function of level conversion unit 402.
ECL phase discriminator 403, for comparing the phase place of reference clock fr and voltage controlled oscillator 407 signal fv after frequency division, phase error information is included in the PECL low and high level of its output and embodies, for example export the phase place of signal fv after the leading frequency division of phase place that high level represents reference clock fr, low level represents the phase place of signal fv after the phase place hysteresis frequency division of reference clock fr.This ECL phase discriminator 403 has adopted the ECL circuit to realize, replace traditional transistor-transistor logic circuit (TTL) logic, utilize the ECL electrical level rising short fall time, the characteristics that conversion speed is fast, can realize using the high phase comparison frequency phase demodulation, improve greatly the phase noise of radio-frequency signal source output signal.
Wherein, the signal f2 exported after frequency divider 408 due to voltage controlled oscillator 407 is sinusoidal wave, and signal amplitude can have difference according to the difference of frequency dividing ratio, the frequency dividing ratio increase can cause reducing of amplitude output signal, this signal amplitude can not meet the requirement of ECL phase discriminator 403 incoming levels, need between frequency divider 408 and ECL phase discriminator 403, add level conversion unit 404.
Level conversion unit 404 can adopt the structure of Fig. 5 a for example identical with level conversion unit 402, does not repeat them here.Comparative voltage is set to after frequency divider 408 frequency divisions output signal through every directly, DC offset voltage value after biasing, like this for different frequency dividing ratio situations, even amplitude output signal difference, use same comparative voltage relatively, also can not affect the correctness of comparison output signal, the level that can guarantee like this to be input to ECL phase discriminator 403 is the PECL level.
For example: the sinusoidal signal that the f2 after frequency division is 0-0.8V, after the AC coupled biasing (bias voltage V ' is made as 1.5V), be input as the sinusoidal signal of 1.1-1.9V at 2 places, 1 place's comparative voltage is made as 1.5V, when the input of 2 places is greater than 1.5V, be output as 2.3V at 3 places, when the input of 2 places is less than 1.5V, at 3 places, be output as 1.9V, 3 places are output as the square-wave signal with ECL logic level.
Comprise two switches in charge pump 405, two single-ended control signals are controlled respectively two switches.These two single-ended control signal level of synchronization are contrary, i.e. shutoff of conducting of two switches, turn-on and turn-off by control switch, loop filter 406 is carried out to charge or discharge, and the level signal that will comprise thus phase information is converted to and the voltage signal that comprises phase information.
Wherein, also there is level conversion unit 409 between charge pump 405 and ECL phase discriminator 403, if ECL phase discriminator 403 is output as two groups of differential signals, wherein each group differential signal is two contrary signals, the amplitude of oscillation of ECL phase discriminator 403 output levels is 0.4V, be high level 2.3V, low level 1.9V, use these two groups of differential signals as controlling charge pump 405 switchs, need to after level conversion unit 409, form two single-ended control signals, the control signal high level is 1.5V, low level is that 0 (at other is may be worth for other in embodiment, here only for giving an example), described level conversion unit 409 mainly completes two functions: the one, convert two groups of differential signals to two single-ended signals, another has been the conversion of level value, adopt in the present embodiment the differential amplifier circuit with current source to complete this function, for each group differential signal, level conversion unit 409 can be as shown in Figure 6, and one group of differential signal output of ECL phase discriminator 403 is respectively as U i1and U i2input, U o1output is as the charge pump 405 mono-single-ended control signal U in tunnel o1=I 1* R 1, the single-ended control signal U in another road o2can from the differential signal of another group ECL phase discriminator 403 outputs, obtain by another level conversion unit 409.Described phase information is embodied in the low and high level of the differential signal of ECL phase discriminator output, and for example, wherein the high level of charge pump is charged to loop filter 406 during high level, and during low level, charge pump is discharged to loop filter 406.Described loop filter 406, the change in voltage of bringing it discharged and recharged according to charge pump, be converted to the control voltage signal by phase information, sends voltage controlled oscillator 407 to.
Described voltage controlled oscillator 407 is controlled the variation of output frequency signal fo according to the control voltage signal after described conversion.
408 couples of output frequency signal fo of described frequency divider carry out frequency division, reduce the frequency of output frequency signal, then are input to level conversion unit 404.Wherein, if frequency divider 408 can directly be exported the signal of PECL level, just can omit level conversion unit 404, thereby can reduce circuit area, cost-saving.
Can also comprise pre-divider 410 or amplifier (not shown) between voltage controlled oscillator 407 and described frequency divider 408, this pre-divider 410 is for reducing the frequency of described output frequency signal, the 1/M that output frequency value is voltage controlled oscillator 407 output frequency value, the frequency dividing ratio that M is pre-divider 410, the output of voltage controlled oscillator 407 inputs to frequency divider 408 after pre-divider 410 again, need like this frequency divider 408 peak frequency of can working to reduce to the 1/M of voltage controlled oscillator 407 maximum output frequencies, reduced the requirement of the peak frequency that can work to frequency divider 408.Described amplifier can increase the power of output frequency signal, when the frequency signal amplitude of voltage controlled oscillator output is less, in the time of can not meeting frequency divider to the requiring of input signal amplitude, needs amplifier to amplify the power of output frequency signal.
By the embodiment of the present invention, can improve the phase demodulation frequency of signal source by the ECL phase discriminator with the level translator of its co-ordination, thereby can further reduce the phase noise of signal source.
