Definitions

  • This invention relates to a dual mode wireless unit which uses two spread-spectrum communication bands.
  • the invention provides a dual-band spread-spectrum modulator which uses a single, relatively narrow, synthe ⁇ sizer to serve two operating frequency bands.
  • the synthesizer may operate in a high-side injection mode, while in the higher frequency range, the synthesizer may operate in a low-side injection mode.
  • the lower frequency range may comprise about 1850 to 1990 megahertz, while the higher frequency range may comprise about 2400 to 2483.5 megahertz.
  • Figure 1 shows a dual-mode spread-spectrum modulator with two frequency bands.
  • Figure 2 shows a programmable frequency generator
  • Figure 1 shows a dual-mode spread-spectrum modulator with two frequency bands.
  • a first frequency source 101 may generate a first frequency fl 102, while a second frequency source 103 may generate a second frequency f2 104.
  • the first frequency fl 102 and the second frequency f2 104 may be coupled to a multiplier 105, which may generate a bimodal signal 10S with a frequency distribution over two frequency ranges fL 107 and fH 108.
  • the other frequency e.g., fl may be chosen between about 300 and 440 megahertz.
  • the bimodal signal 106 may be coupled to a binary encoder 109, for encoding a data stream 110.
  • the data stream 110 comprising a sequence of data bits 111, may be coupled to the binary encoder 109, which may generate a first frequency, e.g., fL 107, when a data bit 111 in the data stream 110 is a "0" bit, and may generate a second frequency, e.g., fH 108, when a data bit 111 in the data stream 110 is a "1" bit.
  • the present invention also provides for monitoring a frequency in each band (or transmitting to a frequency in each band) at once, because both (fl + f2) and (fl - f2) can be stepped down to the same intermediate frequency with a single local oscillator.
  • the intermediate frequency is 260 MHz and the local oscillator is set to 2180 MHz
  • the present invention allows operation at both 1920 MHz and 2440 MHz.
  • the local oscillator is set 10 MHz greater
  • the present invention then allows opera ⁇ tion at both 1930 MHz and 2450 MHz, i.e., two frequencies each 10 MHz greater.
  • the present invention allows reception or transmission on either frequency (or both) in the pair.
  • FIG. 2 shows a programmable frequency generator.
  • a reference frequency signal 201 may be coupled to a multiplier 202.
  • the multiplier 202 may generate a signal f(s) 203, which may be coupled to a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) 204.
  • VCO voltage-controlled oscillator
  • the VCO 204 may be coupled to an output node 205, which provides an output frequency signal 206, and may also be coupled in a feedback configuration to the multiplier 202 by way of a programmable divide-by-N counter 207.
  • the programmable divide-by-N counter 208 may be programmed by a set of control lines 209.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un modulateur bimode à étalement de spectre (101, 103, 105) utilisant un seul synthétiseur étroit pour servir deux bandes de fréquences de service (102, 104). Dans la bande de fréquences basses, le synthétiseur peut fonctionner en mode d'injection du côté à haut potentiel, alors que dans la bande de fréquences supérieures, il peut fonctionner en mode d'injection du côté à faible potentiel. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la plage de fréquences inférieures peut être comprise entre 1850 et 1990 mégahertz, alors que la plage de fréquences supérieures peut être comprise entre environ 2400 et 2483,5 mégahertz.
