Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to the electronic signal processing art and in particular to an improved frequency synthesizer using multiple dual modulus pre- scalers.
  • Digital frequency synthesizers commonly employ standard phase locked loop circuitry wherein a controlled oscillator signal is divided by a loop divider.
  • the output of the loop divider is fed back and compared in a phase comparator to a reference frequency signal.
  • Phase comparator generates a control signal which is then cou ⁇ pled to the controlled oscillator, thereby providing an output signal from the control oscillator which has the desired frequency.
  • the loop divider produces an output signal in response to every nth input pulse thereby dividing the input frequency by n.
  • the reference frequency is determined by the desired VCO frequency increments. This is of particular importance in the radio communication art since channel spacing will therefore be related to the reference fre ⁇ quency. As smaller increments are needed, the reference frequency must be lowered. With a lower reference frequency, however, the short term stability decreases and the phase noise increases.
  • the first counter is program ⁇ med to divide the output of the dual modulus prescaler by a number N .
  • the second counter often referred to as “swallow counter” is programmed to divide the output of the dual modulus prescaler by a number N legal , which is less than N p .
  • the output of the controlled oscillator is divided by the prescaler, with first modulus P + 1, and applied to both counters..
  • the swallow counter actuates the dual modulus prescaler to a new modulus P.
  • the output of the prescaler then continues to be divided by the first counter.
  • the dual modulus prescaler approach permits a change in the divide ratio in incre- ments of one merely by reprogramming the value of A and thereby permits the reference frequency to be equal to the channel spacing.
  • an improved frequency synthesizer which is capable of operating at very high frequencies a a result of using two dual modulus prescalers as part of the loop dividing function.
  • a reference signal is applied to a first input of a phas comparator.
  • This reference signal is then compared to a signal applied to second input of the phase comparator and a control signal representative of the phase differ ⁇ ence between the two signals is generated.
  • This control signal is then applied to a signal controlled oscillator which produces an oscillator signal of frequency f in response to the control signal.
  • the controlled oscil ⁇ lator signal of frequency f is then applied to a pro ⁇ grammable frequency divider for frequency dividing the controlled oscillator signal by a divisor N .
  • the programmable divider includes a first prescaler for frequency dividing the controlled oscillator signal by one of two predetermined integer divisors, M and M 1 . Th output of the first prescaling means is then counted in counter circuit so that an output signal is generated when the counter has counted a given number of signal pulses C.
  • the output of the first prescale is applied to a second prescaler for frequency dividing by one of two predetermined integer divisors P and P' .
  • the frequency divided output of the second prescaler is then applied to a frequency divider so that the output signal of the divider is a signal of frequency f/N .
  • a control circuit controls the first prescaler and the counter circuit such that the counter circuit is enabled when the first prescaler is dividing the input signal by its divisor Q 1 and such that the first prescaler is actu ated from its Q' divisor to its Q divisor in response to the output signal from the first counter circuit and such that the first prescaler is actuated from its Q divisor to its Q - divisor in response to the output signal from the frequency divider circuit.
  • the invention as described elim ⁇ inates the need for one large high speed prescaler to enable the synthesizer to operate at very high frequen ⁇ cies. This is a result of the fact that only the first prescaler need be capable of operating at the very high frequencies.
  • the overall result is an improved frequency synthesizer which can operate at very high frequencies without excessive manufacturing costs and excessive cur ⁇ rent drain while retaining the capability of being pro- grammable in frequency increments equal to the reference frequency. It is therefore highly suitable for high frequency mobile and portable radio applications.

Abstract

Un synthetiseur de frequence ameliore s'applique a des appareils de radio mobiles et portatifs utilisant des precadreurs multiples a module double pour obtenir un fonctionnement a haute frequence et un drain de courant faible. Un premier precadreur de haute vitesse (132) de dimensions reduites est utilise conjointement a un second precadreur (170) pour eviter d'utiliser un grand precadreur de haute vitesse pour obtenir un fonctionnement a haute frequence. Par consequent, le synthetiseur de frequence peut etre construit en utilisant seulement une quantite minimum de logique de drain de haute vitesse, haute intensite reduisant ainsi les couts et la consommation d'energie.
