    • A transmitter (10) based on a frequency synthesizer includes an LC tank (12) of a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with various arrays of capacitors. The LC tank 12 is divided into two major groups that reflect two general operational modes: acquisition and tracking. The first group (process/voltage/temperature and acquisition) approximately sets the desired center frequency of oscillation initially, while the second group (integer and fractional tracking) precisely controls the oscillating frequency during the actual operation. For highly accurate outputs, dynamic element matching (DEM) is used in the integer tracking controller to reduce non-linearities caused by non-uniform capacitor values. Also, a preferred range of the integer tracking capacitor array may be used for modulation after the selected channel has been acquired. A digital sigma-delta modulator circuit (50) drives a capacitor array (14d) in response to the fractional bits of the error word. On mode switches, the accumulated error is recalculated to a phase restart value to prevent perturbations.
    • 基于频率合成器的发射机(10)包括具有各种电容器阵列的数字控制振荡器(DCO)的LC箱(12)。 液相色谱箱12分为反映两种一般操作模式的两个主要组:采集和跟踪。 第一组(过程/电压/温度和采集)最初初始化设置所需的中心振荡频率,而第二组(整数和分数跟踪)在实际操作期间精确地控制振荡频率。 对于高精度输出,在整数跟踪控制器中使用动态元件匹配(DEM)来减少由非均匀电容值引起的非线性。 此外,在获取所选择的信道之后,整数跟踪电容器阵列的优选范围可以用于调制。 数字Σ-Δ调制器电路(50)响应错误字的分数位驱动电容器阵列(14d)。 在模式开关上,累加误差被重新计算到相位重启值,以防止扰动。

    • An all-digital frequency synthesizer architecture is built around a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) that is tuned in response to a digital tuning word (OTW). In exemplary embodiments: (1) a gain characteristic (KDCO) of the digitally controlled oscillator can be determined by observing a digital control word before and after a known change (Δfmax) in the oscillating frequency; (2) a portion (TUNE_TF) of the tuning word can be dithered (1202), and the resultant dithered portion (dkTF) can then be applied to a control input of switchable devices within the digitally controlled oscillator; and (3) a non-linear differential term (187, 331) can be used to expedite correction of the digitally controlled oscillator when large phase error changes (335) occur.

    • A novel method and apparatus for a negative contributive offset compensation mechanism for a transmit buffer adapted to compensate for the positive offset generated by higher order sigma-delta modulators used to amplitude modulate the transmit buffer. The positive outputs from the sigma-delta modulator are processed differently than the negative outputs. The inverters associated with the negative outputs in the sigma-delta modulator are removed and the clock signal used to drive the transistors corresponding to the negative outputs is negated or shifted 180 degrees from the clock used to drive the transistors corresponding to the positive outputs. A non-inverted version of the clock is used with the positive outputs and an inverse clock is used with the negative outputs. Use of the inverse clock causes a negative contributive offset to be generated that is added on the second half cycle of each clock. The result is an offset compensated RF output signal having zero offset.
    • 一种用于发射缓冲器的负贡献偏移补偿机制的新颖方法和装置,适用于补偿由用于幅度调制发射缓冲器的高阶Σ-Δ调制器产生的正偏移。 来自Σ-Δ调制器的正输出的处理方式与负输出不同。 与Σ-Δ调制器中的负输出相关联的反相器被去除,并且用于驱动对应于负输出的晶体管的时钟信号与用于驱动对应于正输出的晶体管的时钟相反或偏移180度。 时钟的非反相版本与正输出一起使用,反向时钟与负输出一起使用。 使用逆时钟将产生在每个时钟的第二个半周期上添加的负贡献偏移。 结果是具有零偏移的偏移补偿RF输出信号。

    • An on-chip receiver sensitivity test mechanism for use in an integrated RF transmitter wherein the transmitter and the receiver share the same oscillator. The mechanism obviates the need to use expensive RF signal generator test equipment with built-in modulation capability and instead permits the use of very low cost external RF test equipment. The invention utilizes circuitry already existing in the transceiver, namely the modulation circuitry and local oscillator, to perform sensitivity testing. The on-chip LO is used to generate the modulated test signal that otherwise would need to be provided by expensive external RF test equipment with modulation capability. The modulated LO signal is mixed with an externally generated unmodulated CW RF signal to generate a modulated signal at IF which is subsequently processed by the remainder of the receiver chain. The recovered data bits are compared using an on-chip BER meter or counter and a BER reading is generated. The BER reading is used either externally or by an on-chip processor or controller to establish a pass/fail indication for the chip.
