Description

本発明は、携帯無線機及びそのバッテリィの充電器に関し、詳しくは携帯無線機の局部発振器の発振周波数補正機能を備えた無線機及び充電器に関する。   The present invention relates to a portable wireless device and a battery charger thereof, and more particularly to a wireless device and a charger having a function of correcting an oscillation frequency of a local oscillator of a portable wireless device.

近年、業務用陸上移動無線通信機(Land Mobile Radio:LMR)は周波数利用効率の観点から一チャネルあたりの周波数帯域の狭帯域化やデジタル化が進められている。デジタル化に際しては、既存のアナログ方式の無線通信機との共存や既設備の流用、制御の容易さ等からFM変調方式の周波数シフトキーイング方式(Frequency Sift Keying:FSK)を使用した周波数分割多重方式(Frequency Division Multiple Access:FDMA)、あるいは位相を変化させる位相シフトキーイング方式(Phase Sift Keying:PSK)が採用される場合が多い。周波数変調手段、位相変調手段としては、例えば、電圧制御発振器(Voltage Controlled Oscillator:VCO)や、水晶振動子を周波数発振源とする温度補償水晶発振器(Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator、なおCrystalをX’talと表記することがあるのでTCXOと云う)、電圧制御型温度補償水晶発振器(Voltage Controlled Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator:VC−TCXO)の周波数制御信号に、伝送すべきデータや音声信号を重畳することによって、周波数偏移や位相偏移を与えるようにしている。   In recent years, land mobile radio (LMR) for commercial use has been reduced in frequency band per channel and digitized from the viewpoint of frequency utilization efficiency. When digitizing, frequency division multiplexing using frequency modulation keying (FSK) of FM modulation because of coexistence with existing analog wireless communication devices, diversion of existing equipment, ease of control, etc. (Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)) or phase shift keying (PSK) that changes the phase is often employed. Examples of the frequency modulation means and the phase modulation means include a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a temperature compensated crystal oscillator using a crystal oscillator as a frequency oscillation source (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator), and a crystal as X'tal. This is sometimes referred to as TCXO), and the frequency control signal of a voltage-controlled temperature compensated crystal oscillator (VC-TCXO) is superposed on the frequency control signal to be transmitted, thereby superimposing the frequency to be transmitted. Deviation and phase deviation are given.

また、無線受信機では、受信した高周波信号を、それより低い中間周波数信号に変換して十分なレベルに増幅した上で、搬送波信号に重畳されたデータを検波するスーパヘテロダイン方式を採用する場合が多く、そのために局部発振器を備えている。更に、送信機能と受信機能を備えた無線機では、送信電波発生源としての発振器と受信用の局部発振器を一つの発振器で共用するのが一般的である。
更に、複数の通信チャネルを切替えて使用する場合は、例えば図8に示す携帯無線機80のように、マイクロコンピュータ(マイコンと略称する)やDAコンバータ等により周波数制御信号を発生する電圧制御手段81と、その制御信号により発振周波数をコントロールするVC−TCXO82と、発生した基準周波数信号に基づいて送信処理や受信処理を行なう送受信回路(TRX)83を備えるように構成するのが一般的である。なお、上記電圧制御手段81とVC−TCXO82として、周波数切り替え機能を備えたフェーズロックループ(Phase Locked Loop:PLL)回路や、ループ中に可変分周器を備えて発振周波数を切替え可能にしたPLLシンセサイザを使用することが多い。
In addition, the radio receiver may adopt a superheterodyne method that detects the data superimposed on the carrier wave signal after converting the received high-frequency signal to a lower intermediate frequency signal and amplifying it to a sufficient level. Many have a local oscillator for this purpose. Furthermore, in a radio device having a transmission function and a reception function, it is common that an oscillator as a transmission radio wave generation source and a local oscillator for reception are shared by one oscillator.
Further, when a plurality of communication channels are switched and used, voltage control means 81 that generates a frequency control signal by a microcomputer (abbreviated as a microcomputer), a DA converter, or the like, for example, as a portable radio 80 shown in FIG. In general, a VC-TCXO 82 that controls the oscillation frequency by the control signal and a transmission / reception circuit (TRX) 83 that performs transmission processing and reception processing based on the generated reference frequency signal are provided. The voltage control means 81 and the VC-TCXO 82 include a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit having a frequency switching function, and a PLL having a variable frequency divider in the loop so that the oscillation frequency can be switched. Often uses a synthesizer.

一方、これらの基準発振器には上述したように周波数安定度に優れた水晶発振器が使用されるが、長期間の使用中には経年変化によって少しずつ周波数が変動する場合があるので、定期的に周波数のチェックや調整が必要である。これらの周波数チェックは、図9に示すように、携帯無線機80の送信出力信号を周波数カウンタ等の設備84に、同軸ケーブル85を介して供給し、その周波数を測定する必要があった。
また、上述したような狭帯域化やデジタル化が進む現在の通信方式における周波数補正手段として、特許文献1が知られている。これは、水晶発振器の経年変化に対応する周波数制御手段に関するもので、高精度に周波数制御された基地局から送信される電波を受信・検波して得たベースバンド信号に含まれる周波数誤差を取り出して、その誤差情報に基づいて、PLL発振回路のVCXOの周波数制御信号を補正するとともに、その後の周波数制御のために、周波数制御信号情報をメモリしておくものである。なお、受信検波信号中に含まれる周波数誤差情報としては、この例に限らないが例えば、受信検波信号に含まれる既知のフレーム同期ワードを検出する際の、フレーム同期ワード候補のデータと、既知のフレーム同期ワードデータとのずれを検出すれば、周波数誤差情報を得ることができる。

On the other hand, as described above, crystal oscillators with excellent frequency stability are used for these reference oscillators, but the frequency may vary little by little over time during long-term use. It is necessary to check and adjust the frequency. In these frequency checks, as shown in FIG. 9, it is necessary to supply the transmission output signal of the portable radio 80 to equipment 84 such as a frequency counter via a coaxial cable 85 and measure the frequency.
Further, Patent Document 1 is known as a frequency correction means in the current communication method in which the narrow band and the digitization as described above are progressing. This relates to frequency control means that responds to aging of crystal oscillators, and extracts frequency errors contained in baseband signals obtained by receiving and detecting radio waves transmitted from base stations that have been frequency controlled with high accuracy. Based on the error information, the frequency control signal of the VCXO of the PLL oscillation circuit is corrected, and the frequency control signal information is stored in memory for subsequent frequency control. Note that the frequency error information included in the received detection signal is not limited to this example. For example, when detecting a known frame synchronization word included in the received detection signal, data of a frame synchronization word candidate and a known If a deviation from the frame synchronization word data is detected, frequency error information can be obtained.

しかしながら、上述した図9に示すような従来の周波数調整方法では、高価な周波数カウンタ等の装置が必要であるばかりでなく、メンテナンスセンタのように測定器が整備され、しかも、専門の知識を備えたメンテナンス担当者が存在する場所に調整対象機器を搬入した上で行なう必要があったので、手間と時間を必要とするものであった。また、定期的なメンテナンスでは、そのインターバル期間に、通信不能状態にならない程度の周波数変動が発生しても、操作者は気がつかずに使用する場合が多いが、その結果、実質的な通信品質が低下した状態で使用することになる。即ち、狭帯域化が進むと、僅かな周波数ずれによっても、実質的に受信感度が低下したものとなるので、十分な着信電界強度環境であっても、通信品質が低下した状態での運用を強いられるものとなっていた。   However, in the conventional frequency adjustment method as shown in FIG. 9 described above, not only an expensive device such as a frequency counter is required, but a measuring instrument is provided like a maintenance center, and it has specialized knowledge. Since it was necessary to carry out the adjustment after bringing the equipment to be adjusted into a place where maintenance personnel existed, it took time and effort. Also, in regular maintenance, even if frequency fluctuations that do not result in incommunicable state occur during the interval period, the operator often uses it without noticing, but as a result, the substantial communication quality is reduced. It will be used in a lowered state. In other words, as the bandwidth becomes narrower, even a slight frequency shift will substantially reduce the reception sensitivity. Therefore, even in a sufficiently high incoming field strength environment, operation with a reduced communication quality is required. It was forced.

なお、周波数安定度が極めて高い発振器として、内部温度を一定に保った恒温容器(槽)内にTCXOを収納した発振器(Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator:OCXO)が存するが、OCXOは容器内を通常温度より高温の所定温度に一定に保つために相当の電力を必要とする上、形状も大きいので、携帯無線機への内蔵には不向きであった。また、携帯電話システムのように基地局から極めて正確に周波数制御管理された制御チャネル信号が常時送信されるシステムでは、これらの信号周波数に携帯無線機に内蔵するPLL発信回路の周波数を同期させる方法があるが、回路構成が複雑になる欠点がある他、LMRでは、常時送信される制御チャネルが存在しないシステムも多く存在するので、必ずしも常に採用できるものではない。
本発明は、これらの事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、日常、無線機を使用する状況において、何等操作者に負担を強いることなく、自動的にあるいは手動で、基準信号発生源の周波数を正確に設定できるようにした携帯無線機及び充電器を提供することを目的としている。
In addition, as an oscillator with extremely high frequency stability, there is an oscillator (OCXO) that contains TCXO in a thermostatic container (tank) that keeps the internal temperature constant. In order to keep constant at a high temperature, a considerable amount of electric power is required and the shape is large, so it is not suitable for incorporation into a portable wireless device. Further, in a system in which a control channel signal whose frequency is controlled and managed with high accuracy is constantly transmitted from a base station, such as a mobile phone system, a method of synchronizing the frequency of a PLL transmission circuit built in a portable radio device with these signal frequencies However, in addition to the disadvantage that the circuit configuration becomes complicated, in LMR there are many systems that do not have a control channel that is always transmitted, and therefore cannot always be adopted.
The present invention has been made in view of these circumstances, and in a situation where a wireless device is used every day, the frequency of the reference signal generation source is automatically or manually without imposing any burden on the operator. It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable wireless device and a charger that can accurately set the battery.

本発明は上述したように、充電器にOCXOのように周波数安定度が優れた発振器を内蔵しておき、携帯無線機内蔵のバッテリィを充電する際に、充電器からOCXOの発信信号を携帯無線機に取り込み、その周波数と携帯無線機内蔵の高周波信号発生源としての局部発振器の出力信号の周波数と比較し、両者の誤差が無くなるように携帯無線機の局部発振器を制御するように構成したので、操作者には何等負担を強いることなく自動的に、又は必要に応じて手動により、携帯無線機の局部発振器出力を補正して、発振周波数を常に正確に保つことが可能となる。

As described above, according to the present invention, an oscillator having excellent frequency stability such as OCXO is built in the charger, and when the battery built in the portable radio is charged, the OCXO transmission signal is transmitted from the charger to the portable radio. Since it is configured to control the local oscillator of the portable radio so that there is no error between the frequency and the frequency of the output signal of the local oscillator as the high-frequency signal generation source built in the portable radio.

Therefore, when frequency correction processing is not preferable as in the case where there is an interference radio wave that approximates the reference signal frequency, it is possible to prevent synchronization with an incorrect frequency by not starting the local oscillation frequency correction means. it can.
Further, according to the present invention, the local oscillation frequency correcting means multiplies or divides one or both of the local transmission means output signal and the reference signal received from the charger, thereby matching the frequency ranges of both. Since the multiplication / frequency division means is provided, the portable wireless device and the charger according to the present invention can be implemented with a simple configuration. Furthermore, even when a single charger is shared by a plurality of portable wireless devices having different reference frequencies, the combination of the portable wireless device and the charger can be freely performed as long as the frequency relationship is constant. .

また本発明によれば、その局部発振周波数補正手段は、携帯無線機の局部発振手段(電圧制御発振器)の出力信号を充電器から取得する基準信号に同期させるように構成したPLL回路を含み、PLL回路が同期した状態における前記ループフィルタ出力(周波数制御信号情報)を周波数制御電圧情報メモリ手段に記憶するように構成したので、充電が終了した後も、記憶した周波数制御信号情報に基づいて、正確な局部発振周波数信号を得ることができる。
また本発明によれば、バッテリィに充電電力を発生する充電回路と、携帯無線機の局部発振手段の発振周波数を補正するための基準周波数信号を発生する基準信号発生手段とを備えたので、請求項1乃至4の何れか一項に記載の携帯無線機に内蔵されたバッテリィに充電する際に、正確な基準周波数信号を供給することができる。
Further, according to the present invention, the local oscillation frequency correction means includes a PLL circuit configured to synchronize an output signal of the local oscillation means (voltage controlled oscillator) of the portable wireless device with a reference signal acquired from a charger, Since the loop filter output (frequency control signal information) in a state in which the PLL circuit is synchronized is configured to be stored in the frequency control voltage information memory means, even after charging is completed, based on the stored frequency control signal information, An accurate local oscillation frequency signal can be obtained.
In addition, according to the present invention, the charging circuit for generating charging power in the battery and the reference signal generating means for generating the reference frequency signal for correcting the oscillation frequency of the local oscillating means of the portable wireless device are provided. When charging the battery built in the portable wireless device according to any one of Items 1 to 4, an accurate reference frequency signal can be supplied.

また本発明によれば、基準信号発生手段として恒温槽型水晶発振器(OCXO)を採用したので、比較的容易に、正確な基準周波数信号発生源を持った充電器を実現することができる。
また本発明によれば、基準信号発生手段から基準周波数信号を前記携帯無線機に伝達する手段が、微弱無線信号発生手段、充電電流に重畳して送出する手段、充電用端子に直流カット素子を介して供給する手段、基準信号専用端子により供給する手段としたので、具体的に充電器を実現する上で、構成の選択肢が豊富となる。また、これらの手段のいくつか複数を備え、適宜選択することができるように構成すれば、使用する環境に応じて、最適の手段を選択することが可能となる。
Further, according to the present invention, since the thermostatic chamber type crystal oscillator (OCXO) is adopted as the reference signal generating means, a charger having an accurate reference frequency signal generating source can be realized relatively easily.
Further, according to the present invention, the means for transmitting the reference frequency signal from the reference signal generating means to the portable wireless device includes the weak wireless signal generating means, the means for sending the signal superimposed on the charging current, and the DC cut element at the charging terminal. The means for supplying via the reference signal and the means for supplying via the reference signal dedicated terminal provide a wide range of configuration options in realizing the charger. Further, if a plurality of these means are provided and can be appropriately selected, it is possible to select an optimum means according to the environment to be used.

Since other blocks that should normally be provided as a portable wireless device are not directly related to the present invention, illustration and description thereof are omitted. In addition, the charger 2 includes a circuit that converts AC power supplied from an AC power source into DC current and supplies it to a battery 4 built in the portable wireless device 1 as a charging circuit 13 that is the minimum required as a charger. However, as a block related to the present invention, an OCXO (constant temperature chamber type crystal oscillator) 14 is provided as a reference signal generating means.

本発明では、このような構成によって携帯無線機1を充電器2に載置して充電する際に、充電器2に備えたOCXO14から携帯無線機1の局部発振信号周波数(携帯無線機の基準信号)と同一周波数を送出する。携帯無線機1において充電器から送出される基準周波数信号をアンテナ6を経由して受信し、内部の局部発振器の出力信号周波数と比較するとともに、両者の周波数誤差情報を周波数補正制御部11に供給する。周波数補正制御部11では、この周波数誤差が最小になるように、理想的には零になるようにVC−TCXO12を制御する。なお、OCXO2からは法的に許容された範囲の微弱な電環強度、例えば国内規定の「3m離れた所で35μV/m以下の電界強度」を越えない範囲で必要最小限のレベルとする。   In the present invention, when the portable wireless device 1 is mounted on the charger 2 and charged by such a configuration, the local oscillation signal frequency of the portable wireless device 1 (reference of the portable wireless device) is obtained from the OCXO 14 provided in the charger 2. Signal). The portable radio device 1 receives the reference frequency signal transmitted from the charger via the antenna 6, compares it with the output signal frequency of the internal local oscillator, and supplies frequency error information of both to the frequency correction control unit 11. To do. The frequency correction control unit 11 controls the VC-TCXO 12 so that it is ideally zero so that this frequency error is minimized. It should be noted that the OCXO2 is set to the minimum necessary level within a range that does not exceed a weakly permitted ring strength within a legally allowable range, for example, “electric field strength of 35 μV / m or less at a distance of 3 m” in domestic regulations.

この処理によれば、OCXO14の極めて正確な信号周波数に一致した局部発振周波数を得ることができる。この結果得た周波数制御信号の情報を、TRX10又は周波数補正制御部11に備えた(図示省略)メモリに記憶しておき、充電完了後においても、メモリした情報に基づいて正確な周波数の局部発振出力を得ることができる。なお、携帯無線機1を充電器2の凹陥部8に装着したことを検出し、その検出信号に基づいて周波数比較処理や周波数補正処理、周波数情報の記憶等を行なうことが、誤動作を防止する上で好ましいであろう。そのための充電検知手段としては、種々のものが考えられるが、例えば、充電用の供給電圧は通常のバッテリィ電圧よりも高い値となるので、その上昇を検知するバッテリィ電圧検知手段であってもよい。通常、充電処理において、過充電とならないように、バッテリィ電圧の監視や、充電電流の積算量を算出する処理等が行なわれるので、その処理をバッテリィ電圧監視のために利用すればよい。あるいは、バッテリィの電圧そのものの監視が困難な場合は、バッテリィ充電用端子への印加電圧の有無を検知する充電電圧検知手段であってもよい。
更には、充電器2の凹陥部8の適所に磁石片を付加し、これと対峙するように携帯無線機1の所定位置に磁石に反応するリードスイッチを内蔵した、磁性部材への接近検出手段であってもよい。あるいは、充電器の凹陥部8の底部に設けた凸部によって携帯無線機1の底部に付加したスイッチが付勢されるような充電スイッチ手段を備え、これらの充電検知手段によって、充電中であることを検知した場合、自動的に局部発振周波数補正手段を起動させるものであっても良いであろう。
According to this processing, it is possible to obtain a local oscillation frequency that matches the extremely accurate signal frequency of the OCXO 14. Information on the frequency control signal obtained as a result is stored in a memory (not shown) provided in the TRX 10 or the frequency correction control unit 11, and even after charging is completed, local oscillation of an accurate frequency is performed based on the stored information. Output can be obtained. In addition, detecting that the portable wireless device 1 is mounted in the recessed portion 8 of the charger 2 and performing frequency comparison processing, frequency correction processing, frequency information storage, and the like based on the detection signal prevent malfunctions. Would be preferred above. Various charging detection means are conceivable for this purpose. For example, since the charging supply voltage is higher than the normal battery voltage, it may be a battery voltage detection means for detecting the rise. . Usually, in the charging process, a battery voltage is monitored, a process for calculating an integrated amount of charging current, and the like are performed so as not to overcharge, and the process may be used for monitoring the battery voltage. Alternatively, when it is difficult to monitor the battery voltage itself, a charging voltage detecting means for detecting the presence or absence of the voltage applied to the battery charging terminal may be used.
Furthermore, a magnetic piece is added to an appropriate position of the recessed portion 8 of the charger 2, and a reed switch that reacts with the magnet is built in a predetermined position of the portable wireless device 1 so as to face the magnet piece. It may be. Alternatively, charging switch means is provided such that a switch added to the bottom of the portable wireless device 1 is energized by a convex portion provided at the bottom of the recessed portion 8 of the charger, and charging is performed by these charging detection means. If this is detected, the local oscillation frequency correction means may be automatically activated.

なお、使用環境として充電器から送出される基準周波数信号と同一若しくは近似する妨害波や強力なノイズ信号等が存在する場合は、無線による基準信号伝達ができない場合があり得る。その場合、上述した充電検知手段によって携帯無線機が充電中であることを検出したとき自動的に局部発振周波数補正手段を起動させることが好ましくない場合があり得るので、局部発振周波数補正手段を起動させる手動操作スイッチを備えておき、必要に応じて手動で周波数補正手段を起動する手段を併用することが好ましいであろう。
本発明によれば、携帯無線機は頻繁に充電するから、その都度正確な基準周波数信号に一致させることになるので、常に、正確な基準周波数信号を持った携帯無線機を実現することが可能となる。従って、従来のように、周波数ずれによる受信感度低下や、送信電波の周波数ずれを防止する上で極めて大きな効果がある。
When there is an interference wave or a strong noise signal that is the same as or close to the reference frequency signal transmitted from the charger as a use environment, there is a possibility that the reference signal cannot be transmitted wirelessly. In that case, it may not be preferable to automatically activate the local oscillation frequency correction means when it is detected by the charge detection means described above that the portable wireless device is being charged. It would be preferable to provide a manual operation switch to be used and to use a means for manually starting the frequency correction means if necessary.
According to the present invention, since the portable wireless device is frequently charged, the portable wireless device is matched with the accurate reference frequency signal each time. Therefore, it is possible to always realize the portable wireless device having the accurate reference frequency signal. It becomes. Therefore, as in the prior art, there is an extremely great effect in preventing a reduction in reception sensitivity due to a frequency shift and a frequency shift of transmission radio waves.

以上の実施例では、充電器2から携帯無線機1に基準信号を供給するルートとして、携帯無線機1のアンテナ6を経由する例を示したが、本発明ではこの例に限らず、種々変形が可能である。
即ち、図3は第一の変形実施例を示す概念図である。この例では、充電器2に内蔵したOCXO14を独立した筐体に収納したものであり、この構成によれば、例えば一台のOCXOから複数の充電中の携帯無線機に基準信号を供給する場合に便利であろう。
図4は更に他の変形実施例を示す概念図である。この例では、上述したように外部に強力な妨害波等が存在する場合に対応できるように、充電器2の内蔵OCXO14から基準周波数信号伝達用の専用端子16を介して、携帯無線機1の送受信部10に伝達するように構成したものである。そのためには、携帯無線機1と充電器2に、信号伝達用の電極端子を設ける必要がある。
図5は、更に他の変形実施例を示す概念図であり、この例では、基準周波数信号専用端子に代えて、充電用端子を利用する例を示している。即ち、充電電流は、僅かながら若干の交流成分を含む場合もあるが、基本的に直流であるので、高周波信号である基準周波数信号を充電用端子に印加しても、不都合は生じない。そこで、図5に示すように直流信号阻止用コンデンサC1を介して充電用端子17にOCXO14の出力信号を印加し、携帯無線機1側では、コンデンサC2を介して、基準周波数信号を送受信部10に供給する。この方法によれば、余分な端子を設ける必要が無く、経済的である。
なお、上述した複数の手段を併用した構成にしておき、必要に応じていずれかの手段を選択できるようにすれば、より一層機能的なものとなろう。
In the embodiment described above, an example in which the reference signal is supplied from the charger 2 to the portable wireless device 1 via the antenna 6 of the portable wireless device 1 is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and various modifications are possible. Is possible.
That is, FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing a first modified embodiment. In this example, the OCXO 14 built in the charger 2 is housed in an independent housing. According to this configuration, for example, a reference signal is supplied from a single OCXO to a plurality of charging wireless devices. Would be convenient to.
FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing still another modified embodiment. In this example, as described above, the portable radio device 1 is connected to the built-in OCXO 14 of the charger 2 via the dedicated terminal 16 for transmitting the reference frequency signal so as to cope with a case where a strong disturbance wave or the like exists outside. It is configured to transmit to the transmission / reception unit 10. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide signal terminals on the portable wireless device 1 and the charger 2.
FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing still another modified embodiment. In this example, a charging terminal is used instead of the reference frequency signal dedicated terminal. That is, although the charging current may include a slight AC component, it is basically a direct current, so that no inconvenience occurs even if a reference frequency signal, which is a high-frequency signal, is applied to the charging terminal. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the output signal of the OCXO 14 is applied to the charging terminal 17 via the DC signal blocking capacitor C1, and on the portable radio device 1 side, the reference frequency signal is transmitted via the capacitor C2. To supply. According to this method, there is no need to provide an extra terminal, which is economical.
It should be noted that if a configuration in which a plurality of means described above are used together and any one of the means can be selected as necessary, it will become even more functional.

図6は、本発明の携帯無線機1の内部構成例を示すブロック図である。この例によって、充電器2の基準信号発生手段(OCXO)から供給される基準周波数信号に基づいて、携帯無線機1の局部発振器出力信号を補正する一例を説明するもので、携帯無線機1の局部発振器としてPLL回路を使用する場合を示している。通常、高周波信号発生源やクロック信号発生源として、PLLシンセサイザ回路を使用する場合が多いので、それらを利用することによって、安価に実現可能である。
図6において、6、10、11は既に説明したように携帯無線機1のアンテナ、送受信部、周波数補正制御部であり、その他のブロックは、本発明を実施するために一部を変更した、PLL発振回路である。即ち、破線で囲んだブロック20は上述した充電器2のOCXO14等から供給される基準周波数信号を受信する基準信号受信部(基準信号受信手段)であり、その内部は、アンテナ21と高周波増幅回路22とバンドパスフィルタ(BPF)23を備えている。この構成は、通常の受信部の高周波ブロックとほぼ同じものであり、図2乃至図5を用いて説明したように、携帯無線機1の送受信部10の受信高周波部ブロックを利用するものであってもよい。また、もう一方の破線30にて囲ったブロックは送受信回路10の基準信号発生源として使用する局部発振部であり、この例では、VC−TCXO31とその周波数制御情報(周波数制御電圧情報)を記憶するメモリ(MEM)32を含んでいる。そして、基準信号受信部20と、局部発振部30及び、位相比較器(PD)40、ループフィルタ(若しくは低域フィルタLPF)50、分周器(DIV)60とからPLL回路を構成している。即ち、基準信号受信部20の出力信号周波数と、局部発振部30の出力信号周波数との周波数差、若しくは位相差を位相比較器(PD)40によって検出し、その差に応じた直流信号を、ループフィルタ(若しくは低域フィルタLPF)50により抽出するとともに、その直流信号をVC−TCXOの周波数制御信号として供給する。また分周器(DIV)60は可変分周器で、その分周率を変化させることによって、VC−TCXO31から所要の発振周波数を得るように構成されている。なお、局部発振部30のメモリ(MEM)32は、送受信部10若しくは周波数補正制御部11から制御信号が供給され、その時必要な発振周波数がVC−TCXO31から出力されるような制御電圧情報がメモリされているものとする。
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the portable wireless device 1 of the present invention. In this example, an example of correcting the local oscillator output signal of the portable wireless device 1 based on the reference frequency signal supplied from the reference signal generating means (OCXO) of the charger 2 will be described. The case where a PLL circuit is used as a local oscillator is shown. Usually, since a PLL synthesizer circuit is often used as a high-frequency signal generation source or a clock signal generation source, it can be realized at low cost by using them.
In FIG. 6, 6, 10 and 11 are the antenna, the transmission / reception unit, and the frequency correction control unit of the portable wireless device 1 as already described, and the other blocks are partially changed to implement the present invention. This is a PLL oscillation circuit. That is, a block 20 surrounded by a broken line is a reference signal receiving unit (reference signal receiving means) that receives a reference frequency signal supplied from the OCXO 14 or the like of the charger 2 described above, and internally includes an antenna 21 and a high-frequency amplifier circuit. 22 and a band pass filter (BPF) 23. This configuration is almost the same as the high-frequency block of a normal receiving unit, and as described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5, uses the receiving high-frequency unit block of the transmitting / receiving unit 10 of the portable wireless device 1. May be. The block surrounded by the other broken line 30 is a local oscillation unit used as a reference signal generation source of the transmission / reception circuit 10, and in this example, the VC-TCXO 31 and its frequency control information (frequency control voltage information) are stored. A memory (MEM) 32 is included. The reference signal receiving unit 20, the local oscillation unit 30, the phase comparator (PD) 40, the loop filter (or low-pass filter LPF) 50, and the frequency divider (DIV) 60 constitute a PLL circuit. . That is, the frequency difference or phase difference between the output signal frequency of the reference signal receiving unit 20 and the output signal frequency of the local oscillating unit 30 is detected by the phase comparator (PD) 40, and a DC signal corresponding to the difference is detected. While extracting by the loop filter (or low-pass filter LPF) 50, the DC signal is supplied as a frequency control signal of VC-TCXO. The frequency divider (DIV) 60 is a variable frequency divider, and is configured to obtain a required oscillation frequency from the VC-TCXO 31 by changing the frequency division ratio. The memory (MEM) 32 of the local oscillation unit 30 is supplied with a control signal from the transmission / reception unit 10 or the frequency correction control unit 11, and the control voltage information such that a necessary oscillation frequency is output from the VC-TCXO 31 is stored in the memory. It is assumed that

この構成において、携帯無線機1が、充電器2の凹陥部に装着され、図示を省略した充電検知手段によって充電中であることが検出されると、充電器2のOCXOからの基準周波数信号を受信し、その信号周波数を基準信号としてPLL回路が動作し、最終的にVC−TCXO31の発振周波数が充電器のOCXOの周波数信号の位相と一致した状態でロック状態となる。その時の周波数関係は分周器(DEV)60の分周率によって決まる値となるが、周波数の安定度は、基準周波数信号のそれと一致(同期)したものとなるので、極めて正確な周波数に設定される。そして、同期状態における周波数制御電圧情報が、メモリ32に記憶され、その後のVC−TCXO31の周波数制御信号生成源として使用される。この構成によれば、充電器に内蔵され若しくは付加されたOCXO等の基準周波数信号によって正確に補正された局部発振器出力を得ることが可能となる。   In this configuration, when the portable wireless device 1 is mounted in the recessed portion of the charger 2 and is detected to be charging by a charge detection means (not shown), the reference frequency signal from the OCXO of the charger 2 is obtained. The PLL circuit operates using the received signal frequency as a reference signal, and finally enters the locked state when the oscillation frequency of the VC-TCXO 31 coincides with the phase of the frequency signal of the OCXO of the charger. The frequency relationship at that time is a value determined by the frequency division ratio of the frequency divider (DEV) 60, but the stability of the frequency coincides (synchronizes) with that of the reference frequency signal, so it is set to an extremely accurate frequency. Is done. And the frequency control voltage information in a synchronous state is memorize | stored in the memory 32, and is used as a frequency control signal generation source of subsequent VC-TCXO31. According to this configuration, it is possible to obtain a local oscillator output accurately corrected by a reference frequency signal such as OCXO built in or added to the charger.

図7は、更に他の変形実施例を示すブロック図であり、この例では、通常の送受信動作の場合は、VC−TCXO31に代えて、広い周波数範囲で変更可能なVCO70を被比較発振器としたPLL発振回路として動作させ、そのときの基準信号源としては、図6において説明した局部発振部30を用いたものである。図7に示したように、例えば三つの切替スイッチSW1、SW2、SW3によって、PLL回路の基準信号源(局部発振部30と基準信号受信部20の出力)と、被比較発振器(VCO70と局部発振部30)とを入れ替えてPLL回路を動作させる。即ち、図7に示すように、各スイッチSW1乃至SW3をa端子に接続した状態が通常の送受信動作状態であり、PLL発振器の基準信号は局部発振部20の出力で、被比較発振器はVCO70となるのに対し、各スイッチ端子としてb端子が選択された場合は、PLL発振器の基準信号は基準信号受信部20の出力、即ち、充電器のOCXOから供給される基準周波数信号となり、被比較発振器が局部発振部30となる。この構成によれば、広い周波数範囲の可変や、大きなデビエーションが必要な場合に有利な、VCOを使用してPLL発振回路を構成することが可能となる。   FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing still another modified embodiment. In this example, in a normal transmission / reception operation, a VCO 70 that can be changed in a wide frequency range is used as a compared oscillator instead of the VC-TCXO 31. The local oscillation unit 30 described with reference to FIG. 6 is used as a reference signal source to operate as a PLL oscillation circuit. As shown in FIG. 7, the reference signal source (outputs of the local oscillator 30 and the reference signal receiver 20) of the PLL circuit and the oscillator to be compared (VCO 70 and local oscillator) are switched by, for example, three changeover switches SW1, SW2, and SW3. The PLL circuit is operated by replacing the unit 30). That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the state in which each switch SW1 to SW3 is connected to the terminal a is a normal transmission / reception operation state, the reference signal of the PLL oscillator is the output of the local oscillation unit 20, and the compared oscillator is the VCO 70. On the other hand, when the b terminal is selected as each switch terminal, the reference signal of the PLL oscillator becomes the output of the reference signal receiving unit 20, that is, the reference frequency signal supplied from the OCXO of the charger, and the compared oscillator Becomes the local oscillation unit 30. According to this configuration, it is possible to configure a PLL oscillation circuit using a VCO, which is advantageous when a wide frequency range is variable or a large deviation is required.

なお、周波数補正手段としては、この例に限る必要はなく、デジタル処理によって、充電器のOCXO等から供給された基準周波数信号と、携帯無線機の局部発振器出力信号との誤差情報に基づいて、その差が極力小さくなるように携帯無線機の局部発振器(基準発振器)を制御すればよい。特に、近年デジタル無線方式が多く採用されるようになったので、デジタル信号処理のためにCPUや各種メモリ、DSP等を搭載した携帯無線機が多く普及しているので、本発明を実施する際に、OCXO等の高安定度発振器を必要とする以外には、特別の回路を必要としないであろう。
また、特許文献1に示した同一出願人になる発明「通信装置、移動電話装置、発振信号生成装置、通信方法および発振信号生成方法」はデジタル変調方式に適応した周波数補正手段が開示されているので、本発明を実施するに参照する上で有用であろう。
Note that the frequency correction means is not limited to this example, and is based on error information between the reference frequency signal supplied from the OCXO of the charger and the local oscillator output signal of the portable radio by digital processing. The local oscillator (reference oscillator) of the portable radio device may be controlled so that the difference becomes as small as possible. In particular, since many digital wireless systems have been adopted in recent years, many portable wireless devices equipped with a CPU, various memories, DSPs, etc. for digital signal processing are widely used. In addition, no special circuitry would be required other than requiring a high stability oscillator such as OCXO.
The invention “Communication device, mobile telephone device, oscillation signal generation device, communication method and oscillation signal generation method” of the same applicant shown in Patent Document 1 discloses frequency correction means adapted to the digital modulation method. Therefore, it will be useful for reference in practicing the present invention.

本発明の実施に際しては上述した実施例に限定することなく種々変形が可能であることは云うまでもない。例えば、携帯無線機としては送受信機能を有するものの他、受信機能のみの携帯無線機にも適用可能である。更に、送信機能のみを有するものにも適用可能であるが、その際は充電器から伝達される基準周波数信号を受信する簡単な受信機能は必要である。また、基準周波数信号発生源としては、OCXOの他にも、電波時計信号や人工衛星からの電波等、正確に周波数制御された電波や、その他ネットワーク等を介して供給される、クロック信号を取得して利用することもできる。その場合、夫々の電波を受信するブロックを充電器に組み込めばよく、これらの基準周波数信号として利用できる受信手段を複数組み込んでおき、適宜選択して入手可能なものを利用できるように構成することも有用であろう。   Needless to say, the present invention can be variously modified without being limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, the portable wireless device can be applied to a portable wireless device having only a reception function in addition to a device having a transmission / reception function. Furthermore, although it is applicable also to what has only a transmission function, the simple reception function which receives the reference frequency signal transmitted from a charger in that case is required. In addition to the OCXO, the reference frequency signal source is a radio clock signal, a radio wave from an artificial satellite, or a radio signal whose frequency is accurately controlled, or a clock signal supplied via another network. It can also be used. In that case, it is only necessary to incorporate a block for receiving each radio wave into the charger, and to incorporate a plurality of receiving means that can be used as these reference frequency signals, and to be able to use those that can be appropriately selected and used. Would also be useful.

また、充電器に携帯無線機を接続してバッテリィに充電する際の方法として、充電器筐体の凹陥部に携帯無線機を挿入する他に、携帯無線機に付した同軸型の充電電力供給端子に、充電器から伸びたケーブルの先端部のプラグを差し込んで充電する形式のものも存在するが、その場合には、図3、図5によって説明したように、微弱電波によってOCXO等の基準信号を伝達する方法や、充電用端子に基準周波数信号を重畳する方法を利用すれば、同様に本発明を実施することができる。また、その際の充電検知手段としては、携帯無線機の充電端子への電圧印加の有無検出や、バッテリィ電圧の上昇を検出する手段を用いればよいであろう。
更に、本発明を実施する上で必要な処理部分を、プログラムとして実現しておけば、CPUやメモリを備えた無線機にインストールすることによって、ソフトウエア的に実現することも可能であろう。
Also, as a method for charging a battery by connecting a portable wireless device to the charger, in addition to inserting the portable wireless device into the recessed portion of the charger housing, a coaxial type charging power supply attached to the portable wireless device There is also a type in which the plug at the end of the cable extending from the charger is inserted into the terminal for charging, but in such a case, as described with reference to FIGS. If a method of transmitting a signal or a method of superposing a reference frequency signal on a charging terminal is used, the present invention can be similarly implemented. Further, as the charge detection means at that time, a means for detecting the presence / absence of voltage application to the charging terminal of the portable wireless device or a means for detecting an increase in battery voltage may be used.
Furthermore, if processing portions necessary for implementing the present invention are realized as a program, it may be realized in software by installing in a wireless device having a CPU and a memory.
