As shown in Figure 1, the 10MHz signal of Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator 1 is separately input to single-chip microcontroller 2, d type flip flop 3, directly number In word frequency synthesizer 4, the 10MHz signal of preferred Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator 1 is shaped, is separately input to monolithic again after isolation Machine 2, d type flip flop 3, in Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4, in the present embodiment, the model Atmel company of single-chip microcontroller 2 ATmega8, the model 74HC74 of d type flip flop 3 are two-way D type rising edge flip-flops, the type of Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 Number be ADI company AD9832, the model 74HC86 of XOR gate 5, d type flip flop 3 include data input pin D, input end of clock CLK, data output end Q and data inverse output terminal QN.
The 10MHz signal of Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator 1 is input to the input end of clock CLK of d type flip flop 3, the number of d type flip flop 3 It is connected according to input terminal D with data inverse output terminal QN, the data output end Q of d type flip flop 3 exports 5MHz TTL signal.
The 10MHz signal of Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator 1 is input to the clock end clock input pin XIN of single-chip microcontroller 2 as clock Source is interrupted by software timer, and single-chip microcontroller 2 exports modulated square wave signal into Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4, single-chip microcontroller 2 Maximum clock frequency be 10MHz, its risc architecture uses single command cycle, and 10MHz clock passes through as its working frequency The programming of internal 16 bit timing devices, the timer interrupt interval of output can satisfy design requirement of the invention.
The 10MHz signal of Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator 1 is input to the clock end FREF of Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4, passes through Single-chip microcontroller 2 is FREF × N/ to 4 programming Control of Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers, the output frequency of Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 232, in the present embodiment, FREF 10MHz,
The initial frequency FOUT1 of the output frequency of Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 is 312.350KHz, and N1 is initial frequency The corresponding output frequency control word of FOUT1;The cutoff frequency FOUT2 of the output frequency of Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 is 312.650KHz, N2 are the corresponding output frequency control word of cutoff frequency FOUT2.Initial frequency FOUT1 and cutoff frequency FOUT2 Frequency-hopping mode constitutes 312.5KHz ± 150Hz modulated signal, the hop rate of initial frequency FOUT1 and cutoff frequency FOUT2 by The modulated square wave signal deciding that single-chip microcontroller 2 exports, modulated square wave signal triggering Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 carry out frequency and cut It changes.
Meanwhile when FREF can be calculated is 10MHz, the minimum frequency of the output frequency of Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 Rate stepping-in amount is 2.33E-3Hz, and it is 2.33E-10Hz that the accuracy relative to 10MHz, which adjusts minimum step amount, if choosing higher The Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers of resolution ratio, then it is further to adjust the meeting of minimum step amount for output frequency minimum step amount and accuracy It reduces.
This digital modulation circuit carries out software control to Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 to realize using single-chip microcontroller 2.Monolithic Machine 2 is responsible for carrying out Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 square wave of register setting and output for 2FSK modulation and synchronous detection Signal.Single-chip microcontroller is communicated by SPI mode with Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 (AD9832), it is written initialization life Order and frequency control word.The method of realization is that single-chip microcontroller 2 is first by rewriting Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 (AD9832) The value of register b0h sets AD9832 to frequency modulation(PFM) " FM mode ", then by 8 internal 8 fraction registers 20h, 22h, 31h, 33h and for 24 hours, 26h, 35h, 37h be set to two frequencies of 312.5KHz-150Hz and 312.5KHz+150Hz Value FOUT1 and FOUT2, in the design, centre frequency is that 312.5KHz=(FOUT1+FOUT2)/2,150Hz is equal to modulation deeply Degree.Meanwhile single-chip microcontroller 2 exports the 136Hz square-wave signal of two-way same frequency, opposite in phase as detection square-wave signal, detection side Wave signal is input to servo circuit, and for synchronizing phase sensitive detection servo module, single-chip microcontroller 2 also exports third road 136Hz square wave letter It number is input in Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizers 4 as modulated square wave signal, is used for FM mode lower frequency FOUT1 (312.5KHz- 150Hz) controlled with the switching rate of FOUT2 (312.5KHz+150Hz).
