Abstract

Known are fractional division synthesizers for multichannel radio devices. A new architecture for such a type of synthesizer is proposed not having the drawbacks of such known synthesizers and having the same phase noise properties as ordinary integer divide by N synthesizers. The novel architecture has a main PLL with a first integer frequency divider in its feedback loop and further an auxiliary PLL having a second integer frequency divider in its feedback loop.

Description

Multichannel radio device, wireless communication system and fractional division frequency synthesizer
The present invention relates to multichannel radio device.Such multichannel radio device can be a radio communication device, for example honeycomb or cordless telephone, pager, or any multichannel radio device that other is fit to.
The invention still further relates to wireless communication system, and fractional division frequency synthesizer.
RF (radio frequency) frequency synthesizer is used in, for example, and the multichannel radio device that in wireless communication system, uses.In such system, used multichannel receiver or transceiver, comprise the RF frequency synthesizer, it may be tuned to a plurality of channels.Like this tuning should be fast, because wireless device should switch to another wireless channel apace from a wireless channel.And wireless device should cause as far as possible little adjacent-channel interference.For this reason, aspect the spectral purity and its setting-up time of its output signal, should high requirement be proposed for the frequency synthesizer that in such wireless device, uses.Usually know that frequency synthesizer has the structure of frequency multiplier, for example at handbook " The Art of Electronics (electronic technology) ", P.Horowitz et al., Cambridge University Press, p.432, described in 1980.In such synthesizer,, for example, be the multiple of the stable reference frequency that produces by crystal oscillator from the output signal of VCO (voltage controlled oscillator).The integer frequency ratio frequency divider is the output signal frequency division, and the output of frequency divider is fed back to phase discriminator, and reference signal also is fed to phase discriminator simultaneously.Loop filter carries out filtering to the output of phase discriminator, and the signal controlling that is low pass filtering VCO.Such loop is PLL basically, has integer frequency divider in its feedback path.In communicator, reference frequency is selected as equaling channel spacing.Yet because the common little bandwidth of loop filter, the setting-up time of such synthesizer is relatively large, and like this, synthesizer speed is slower.In order to overcome this problem, fractional division frequency synthesizer has been proposed.At handbook " Digital PLL Frequency Synthesizers (digital PLL frequency synthesizer) ", U.L.Rohde, pp.124-141, Prentice-Hall, 1983, such fractional-N synthesizer has been described, N is a mark.Because higher reference frequency can be used, therefore can obtain in principle than common integral frequency divisioil synthesizer more performance, such fraction N frequency comprehensive device still has sizable shortcoming.In order to reach fraction division, the normal time when the output of phase discriminator arrives set-point removed the pulse that feeds back to frequency divider from VCO in the interval by the pulse remover.The result is to be replaced by the frequency division divided by N+1 divided by the frequency division of N.The frequency division that replaces like this causes undesired sideband in the output signal of synthesizer.Structure with high complexity is a cost, thus, by means of the digital-analog convertor that is coupled to accumulator, has produced a signal, and it is deducted from the output signal of phase discriminator, attempts to offset undesired sideband.For such mark-Fractional-N frequency frequency synthesizer more detailed description, can be with reference to application guide AN1891, " SA 8025 Fractional-N Frequency synthesis (SA8025 fractional-N frequency synthesis) ", Philips Semiconductors, 18 Sep 1994.In paper " delta sigma Modulation in Fractional-N Frequency Synthesis (the delta sigma modulation in the fractional-N frequency synthesis) ", T.A.D.Riley et al., IEEEjournal of Solid State Circuits, Vol.28, No.5, among the pp.553-559, the delta sigma modulator is used in mark-Fractional-N frequency frequency synthesizer noise-shaping is carried out in phase jitter.Such structure is complicated.Two kinds of mark-Fractional-N frequency frequency synthesizers all have shortcoming.There is the phase noise of expectation still much higher than common integral frequency divisioil frequency synthesizer.And, need outside the adjusting usually, so that the compensate for residual result.Because in two types marks-N synthesizer, need high speed circuit, so power consumption is being quite significant such as digital-analog convertor and the such digital circuit of delta sigma modulator.Quite high power consumption like this is undesired especially in mobile phone, in mobile phone, wishes standby and call time long as far as possible before running down of battery.High complexity also causes bigger chip, it seems that from the viewpoint and the high integrated level of hope of cost this is undesired.
An object of the present invention is to provide a kind of radio communication device, the fractional-n frequency synthesis that it comprises has high performance, simple structure simultaneously, and do not have the shortcoming of known mark-Fractional-N frequency synthesizer.
For this reason, fractional-n frequency synthesis is provided, particularly when it is included in multichannel radio device, this synthesizer has output signal at the synthesizer output, its frequency is the fractional multiple of the reference frequency that produced by the reference frequency generator, this synthesizer includes the forward path between reference and described output, it comprises first phase discriminator, the cascade of first loop filter and first voltage controlled oscillator, thus, the first input end of first phase discriminator is coupled to reference edge, this synthesizer also includes the feedback path between second input of the described output and first phase discriminator, it comprises first frequency divider, second phase discriminator, the cascade of second loop filter and second voltage controlled oscillator, thus, the output that the output of second voltage controlled oscillator is coupled to second input of first phase discriminator and first frequency divider is coupled to the first input end of second phase discriminator, and this synthesizer comprises second frequency divider, its input is coupled to second input of first phase discriminator, its output is coupled to second input of second phase discriminator, thus, the frequency dividing ratio of first and second frequency dividers is integers.The present invention based on viewpoint be, although use utmost point simple structure, still can only use integer frequency divider to obtain mark-Fractional-N frequency synthesizer.The surprising diverse notion of such mark-Fractional-N frequency frequency synthesizer has advantage, and its phase noise is the same low with the phase noise of ordinary integer Fractional-N frequency synthesizer.And, because auxiliary PLL by accurately divided by M/N, M is that the integer divisor and the N of first frequency divider is the integer divisor of second frequency divider, so can not produce undesired parasitic frequency.In addition, because the phase noise of second voltage controlled oscillator is suppressed by first loop filter of main PLL, so second voltage controlled oscillator can easily be integrated among the IC (integrated circuit).Because open-and-shut structure obtains low power consumption, also have little chip area and low-cost design and exploitation.When using BiCMOS or short channel CMOS technology, complete synthesizer can easily be integrated in the integrated circuit.
