Definitions
- the invention relates to an integrable circuit according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Specified UHF frequency ranges can be used for free radio services in some states if certain, precisely prescribed conditions are observed. For example, in the USA the frequency range between 902 MHz and 928 MHz is available as a so-called ISM (Industrial Scientific and Medical) band.
- ISM International Scientific and Medical
- the radio signal is modulated with a high bit rate sequence of digital signals, the so-called PN (pseudonoise) code, in such a way that a broadband transmission signal results from the superimposition.
- PN pseudonudonoise
- the second of the system approaches is the implementation of a so-called low power system. There are no restrictive regulations below a transmission power of approx. 0 dBm.
- the third system approach is a so-called frequency hopping spread spectrum system.
- These systems may e.g. have a maximum channel spacing of 500 kHz for the ISM band mentioned, 99% of the power having to be emitted within this bandwidth. This means that there are at least 50 channels available that are used on the basis of a pseudo random sequence.
- FIG. 1 a system is explained which was previously used for the radio services mentioned, e.g. a cordless telephone is used.
- This is a frequency division duplex (FDD) system with low output power (0 dBm).

- VCO voltage controlled oscillator
- PLL phase locked loop
- the transmission path 1 is connected to the transmission input of a frequency duplexer 9, which is a frequency-separating filter.
- An antenna 10 is connected to the frequency duplexer 9 and is used both for transmitting and for receiving.
- An input of a down mixer 12 is connected to the receiver connection of the frequency duplexer 9 in the reception path 11 of the transceiver via a low-noise amplifier 13 and a bandpass filter 14.
- the other input of the down mixer 12 is 3 is supplied by a UHF frequency synthesis device 15 which, in terms of the type of its components, has the same structure as the UHF frequency synthesis device 2 for the transmission path 1.
- the output of the down mixer 12 is connected to a demodulator 20 via a first IF filter 16, an IF amplifier 17, a second IF filter 18 and IF amplifier 19.
- a demodulator 20 via a first IF filter 16, an IF amplifier 17, a second IF filter 18 and IF amplifier 19.
- the modulation in transmission path 1 takes place directly on the local UHF frequency synthesis device 2.
- TDD time division duplex
- Such a system can be used for the radio services mentioned, for example a cordless telephone.
- the transmission path 21 of the in FIG. 2 has at its beginning a frequency synthesis device 22 operating at 10.7 MHz, which contains a voltage-controlled oscillator 23, an amplifier 24, a PLL phase-locked loop 25 and a low-pass filter 26. Direct modulation takes place in this frequency synthesis device 22.
- an input is followed by an up-mixer 27, to the other input of which the output signal of an IF frequency synthesis device 28 operated at 100 MHz is fed as a superposition signal, which, in terms of the type of its components, has the same structure as the frequency synthesis device 22.
- the output signal of the up-mixer 27 is fed in a higher IF level of 110.7 MHz via an IF filter 29 to the first input of a further up-mixer 30, at the second input of which the superposition frequency is the output signal of a UHF frequency synthesis device 31, which is in can vary a frequency range between 790 MHz and 820 MHz and is also constructed in the same way as the frequency synthesis device 22 with regard to the type of its components.
- the output signal of the up-mixer 27 is fed to a subsequent transmission band filter 32 and a transmission output stage 33.
- the transmission path 21 is then connected to the transmission input of a time-division duplex switch 34, which is a time-controlled switch and which alternately makes the transmission and reception time slots effective.
- An antenna 36 is connected to the antenna output of the time-division duplex switch 34 via a band filter 35 for 902 MHz to 928 MHz, which serves both for sending and for receiving.
- An input of a down mixer 38 is connected to the receiver connection of the time-division duplex switch 34 in the reception path 37 of the illustrated transceiver via a low-noise amplifier 39 and a bandpass filter 40.

- the modulation in the transmission path 21 takes place directly on the first frequency synthesis device 22.
- the disadvantage of this design option is the high filter complexity in the transmission path 21. Another disadvantage is that three frequency synthesis devices are required. In addition to the high outlay for the filters on the first transmission or reception intermediate frequency, the additional connections reduce the degree of integration that can be achieved.
- the object of the invention is to specify a frequency processing architecture for a freely available UHF radio band, in particular in the 900 MHz range, with which the highest possible degree of integration for a frequency hopping method can be made possible.
