摘要： The present invention is a method for reducing phase noise in oscillator signals. For example, the oscillator may be a low phase noise MEMS-based oscillator and may include a resonator (ex.—a MEMS resonator). Further, the resonator of the oscillator may be operated near a bifurcation point. Still further, the MEMS resonator may be parametrically pumped in such a way so as to redistribute the quadrature signal noise (ex.—phase noise) to in-phase noise (ex.—amplitude noise).

摘要： An integrated frequency source with an integrated frequency standard and an integrated frequency synthesizer is disclosed. A voltage-controlled oscillator in the frequency standard is eliminated with a resulting improvement in phase noise. A reference frequency in the frequency standard is provided directly to the frequency synthesizer. The integrated frequency source is put on frequency over temperature by storing reference frequency errors over temperature in a lookup table, measuring the temperature, and calculating in a microprocessor synthesizer control data that offsets the synthesizer to compensate for reference frequency errors.

摘要： A communication system and a method for using an approximating frequency synthesizer with frequency correction by digital signal processing (DSP) means to provide a radio transmitter or receiver with rapid high resolution tuning capabilities. A user selects a frequency upon which he wishes to transmit or receive information. An approximating synthesizer is used to provide an RF injection frequency. A radio controller interprets the user selected frequency and determines the closet available approximating synthesizer frequency. The controller commands the approximating synthesizer to the determined available frequency and calculates the difference in the determined available frequency and the user selected frequency. The calculated difference or error is passed on to the DSP for correction during frequency mixing in a single or multiple step process.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a highly-integrated MEMS-based miniaturized transceiver. The transceiver utilizes a low band front-end to direct sample low band signals and a high band front-end to translate high band signals that cannot be directly sampled to low band before low band front-end processing. The low band front-end comprises an array of High-Q MEMS (microelectromechanical systems)-based filters/resonators separated by isolation amplifiers in selectable cascade with narrower bandwidth filters. Dynamic tuning ability is provided through the isolation amplifiers and the sample frequency of the analog-to-digital converter. This architecture is amenable to monolithic fabrication. The input frequency range is scalable with analog-to-digital conversion sampling rate improvements. Re-utilization of filters is spatially efficient and cost effective. Tuning time is limited only by the analog-to-digital conversion and digital signal processing, not synthesizer settling times. This architecture eliminates major sources of traditional intermodulation distortion and reduces complex hardware, increasing reliability.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及一种高度集成的基于MEMS的小型化收发器。收发器利用低频前端来引导采样低频带信号和高频带前端，以便在低频带前端处理之前，将不能直接采样到低频段的高频带信号进行转换。低频带前端包括由具有窄带宽滤波器的可选级联的隔离放大器隔开的高Q MEMS（微机电系统）基滤波器/谐振器阵列。通过隔离放大器和模数转换器的采样频率提供动态调谐能力。这种架构适合于单片制造。输入频率范围可以通过模数转换采样率提升来扩展。过滤器的再利用在空间上是有效的并且具有成本效益。调谐时间仅限于模数转换和数字信号处理，而不是合成器建立时间。该架构消除了传统互调失真的主要来源，并降低了复杂的硬件，提高了可靠性。
