摘要： A self-oscillating spread spectrum frequency control loop contains a gated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) which receives a digital signal that can start or stop its oscillation. The VCO generates a spread spectrum carrier by receiving a triangle wave signal from a delaying ramp generator in a loop, its ramp direction controlled by a frequency comparator. The loop generates a spectrum spread as wide as possible above a minimum frequency. RF isolators that utilize low-pass filters in the transmitter and high-pass filters in the receiver, where the F-3 dB cutoff frequencies of both filters vary in a correlated manner, are used to not produce spread spectrum frequencies below the minimum frequency. Die from a given wafer lot, when designed such that the low- and high-pass cutoff frequencies track, can be used to form RF digital isolators whose minimum spread spectrum frequency does not go below the minimum frequency required by that wafer lot.

摘要： A frequency sweep signal generator in which the frequency error is small even when the control values and the oscillating frequencies have a non-linear relation. The frequency sweep signal generator includes a variable frequency oscillator that changes an oscillating frequency according to a change of an input control value, and a first controller that generates a first control value so that the oscillating frequency within a predetermined frequency sweeping range is output. The first controller controls an increment of the first control value to be output to the variable frequency oscillator per unit time so that, when a change of the oscillating frequency with respect to the increment of the first control value is non-linear, the oscillating frequency is changed linearly with respect to a passage of time.

摘要： A frequency-hopping pulse-width modulator is disclosed, which facilitates a switching regulator to use smaller-size inductive and capacitive elements, to have an improved power efficiency at light load, as well as predictable spectrum at different load levels. The improved modulator automatically determines the switching frequency of a switching regulator according to the load current delivered by the switching regulator from a number of pre-defined frequencies, which are all multiples of a fundamental frequency. By designing the maximum switching frequency of frequency-hopping pulse-width modulator in the MHz range, a switching regulator is able to use smaller-size inductive and capacitive elements. Light-load efficiency of the switching regulator with the frequency-hopping pulse-width modulator is also greatly improved as switching frequency of such switching regulator is reduced with decreased load current. More importantly, spectrum of a switching regulator with the frequency-hopping pulse-width modulator is as predictable as spectrum of a switching regulator with a conventional pulse-width modulator operated at the fundamental frequency.

摘要： Linear frequency modulation having a large time-bandwidth product and an remely linear frequency versus time waveform, is provided by a feedback technique utilizing a linear ramp voltage generator whose output is summed with a correction voltage to drive a voltage controlled oscillator to output the LFM waveform. Part of the LFM waveform is fed back through a digital discriminator for error signal generation and comparison with a preset value associated with the output slope linearity, thus yielding the basis for generating the correction voltage.

摘要： An apparatus and method of linear frequency modulation waveform bandwidth multiplication including a digital linear frequency modulation waveform synthesizer for generating a synthesized waveform having an upchirp component of linearly varying frequency during a first half signal duration of the synthesized waveform followed by a downchirp component having linearly varying frequency during a second half of the signal duration of the synthesized waveform. The synthesized waveform is upconverted and subsequently bandpass filtered to provide a filtered waveform to a mixer for mixing with local oscillation signals. The upchirp and downchirp components of the filtered waveform are respectively mixed by first and second local oscillation signals having respective first and second oscillation frequencies in the mixer. The local oscillation signal frequencies have a predetermined relationship to ensure that the signal components of the output signal corresponding to the upchirp and downchirp components transition smoothly. The corresponding linear frequency modulation bandwidth multiplied signal has decreased nonlinearities.

摘要： An analog ramp signal is used to control the frequency of a swept radio-frequency (RF) test oscillator. The analog ramp signal is generated by applying a fixed reference voltage to an analog integrator circuit. However, ramp accuracy is degraded by integrator gain error, drift, and nonlinearity. To correct for these errors, the analog ramp signal is periodically compared to a digital ramp signal generated by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) during the course of a sweep. Preferably, the analog ramp signal is compared to the digital ramp signal many times during the course of the sweep. The difference between the two ramp signals is scaled and combined with the reference voltage to correct the slope of the analog ramp signal. An additional DAC preferably adjusts the gain of the feedback loop.

摘要： A phase-lock loop for a swept synthesized source in which hysteresis, tuning nonlinearity, and drift over time and temperature of an oscillator incorporated into the swept synthesized source are compensated. The tuning current to the oscillator is initialized to zero to eliminate hysteresis effects. Then, the pretune current is set to produce the minimum operating frequency of the oscillator. Next, the main phase-lock loop is closed, and a low-frequency synthesizer is swept to in turn sweep the oscillator over a selected frequency span. If the selected frequency span extends over other frequency bands, the oscillator is swept to the maximum frequency of the present band and held at this frequency by a track and hold circuit. The main phase-lock loop is opened, the low-frequency synthesizer is re-initialized, the main phase-lock loop is again closed, and the low-frequency synthesizer is swept again. Each frequency band is crossed in a similar manner until the selected frequency span is swept. In order to improve phase-noise and transient response performance of the low-frequency synthesizer, a phase-lock loop speed-up and stability enhancement circuit comprising a zener diode connected across a passive lag-lead network is incorporated. Pretune calibration for the swept synthesized source is also provided.
