- FIG. 1 illustrates a gating module 102 , as described in one or more of the Related UFT Patents.
- the gating module 102 is implemented and referred to herein as a phase difference detector.
- the phase difference detector 102 is functionally illustrated with a UFT, or switching module 104 , a capacitor 106 , and a pulse generator 108 .
- FIG. 1 is intended to functionally illustrate aspects of an embodiment of the present invention.
- the phase difference detector 102 can be implemented in a variety of configurations using a variety of components.
- the pulse generator 108 controls the UFT 104 according to a control signal v(t) at terminal 112 , to transfer energy from a reference signal s(t) at terminal 110 , to the capacitor 106 , as described in the one or more of the Related UFT Patents. From the energy, or charge, transferred to the capacitor 106 , a difference signal d(t) is provided at output terminal 114 .
- the difference signal d(t) includes a down-converted version of the reference signal s(t).
- the difference signal d(t) is substantially proportional to a frequency and phase difference between s(t) and v(t). More specifically, as described in one or more of the Related UFT Patents, the frequency of d(t) is substantially equal to the frequency of s(t) minus N times the frequency of the control signal v(t). Thus, when the frequency of s(t) is substantially equal to N times the frequency of v(t), d(t) will be substantially constant. But, when the phase difference between s(t) and v(t) changes, the constant voltage level of d(t) will change.
- the amplitude of d(t) will depend, in part, on the phase of s(t) when the switch 104 is closed.
- the switch 104 closes when the pulse generator 108 generates a pulse.
- the pulse generator 108 generates a pulse when a rising edge of v(t) triggers the pulse generator 108 to generate a pulse. This is referred to as the trigger point of v(t).
- the switch 104 closes on trigger points of v(t).
- s(t) and v(t) are said to be phase aligned, and the amplitude of d(t) will be at a relative maximum. But as the phase difference between v(t)'s trigger point and s(t) increases, the amplitude of d(t) decreases.
- the gating module 102 can be viewed as a phase difference detector.
- One use for the phase difference detector 102 is in a phase locked loop, as described below.
- PLL Phase Locked Loop
- the phase difference detector 102 can be implemented as part of a phase locked loop.
- the phase detector 102 is used to simultaneously down-convert the reference signal s(t) and detect phase differences.
- phase locking occurs at a lower frequency than the reference signal s(t), which reduces component cost and design complexities.
- a UFT is implemented in a phase locked loop.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the phase difference detector 102 from FIG. 1 implemented in a phase locked loop (PLL) 202 .
- the PLL 202 includes a loop filter 204 and a compensation module 206 .
- the loop filter 204 can be designed for desired stabilization and/or response characteristics. Based on the description herein, one skilled in the relevant art(s) will recognize that the loop filter 204 can be designed and implemented in a variety of configurations using hardware, firmware, software, or any combination thereof. In an embodiment, the loop filter 204 includes an integration function that sums successive values of d(t).
- the compensation module 206 adjusts the phase and/or frequency of v(t), as necessary, to maintain d(t) at a zero.
- the output of the loop filter 204 is used by the compensation module 206 to maintain the phase and/or frequency of v(t) at a level that maintains d(t) at zero amplitude.
- d(t) when the trigger point of v(t) is aligned with a zero crossing of s(t), d(t) will be substantially zero. As a result, there will be no change in the output of the integrator/loop filter 204 , and thus, the compensation module 206 will make no changes to v(t). But when the phase of s(t) changes relative to the phase of v(t), d(t) will change away from zero, either positive or negative, depending on which direction the relative phases change. When d(t) changes from zero, positive or negative, the output of the integrator/loop filter 204 increases or decreases respectively, causing the compensation module to increase or decrease the phase and/or frequency of v(t).
- d(t) When the trigger point of v(t) is again aligned with a zero crossing of s(t), d(t) will return to zero. When d(t) returns to zero, the output of the loop filter 204 will hold its previous value until d(t) again changes. So long as the output of the loop filter remains constant at its previous level, the compensation module 206 will maintain the phase and/or frequency of v(t) at its previous level. Thus, any relative phase change between s(t) and v(t) are corrected.
- phase locked loop as described above is for simultaneously down-converting and demodulating a phase modulated signal, as described below.
- exemplary implementation details of the compensation module will be discussed.
- the relative phase difference between the v(t) trigger point and s(t) is to be controlled.
- the relative phase difference between the v(t) trigger point and s(t) can be controlled in a variety of ways.
- the relative phase of v(t) is controlled by controlling a delay of v(t). This can be done with, for example, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). Phase delay can be implemented independently or as part of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). Based on the description herein, one skilled in the relevant art(s) will recognize how a conventional VCO with phase delay control can be incorporated into the compensation module 206 , in order to control the relative phase difference between the v(t) trigger point and s(t).
- VCO voltage controlled oscillator
- the relative phase difference between the v(t) trigger point and s(t) are controlled by controlling a bias voltage on v(t). This can be performed with the circuit illustrated in FIG. 3 , or functional equivalents thereof. Changing the bias level of v(t) changes the voltage level for all of v(t) so that, for a given phase of v(t), the bias voltage can be adjusted to meet or exceed the trigger voltage of the pulse generator. In an embodiment, a linear region of v(t) is utilized for bias voltage adjustments.
- Phase difference detection can be affected by unintentional amplitude variations due to, for example, amplitude changes on the reference signal s(t), or DC offset voltages.
- an automatic gain control (AGC) system is used to maintain relative amplitude control.
- the reference signal s(t) is a phase modulated carrier signal
- information is encoded, or modulated, on the reference signal s(t) in the form of phase changes about a carrier frequency.
- these phase changes will appear as amplitude changes on d(t).
- the loop filter 204 includes an integration-type function, as described above, the output of the loop filter will substantially resemble the information that was phase encoded on the reference signal s(t).
- the PLL 202 maintains the phase relationship between v(t) and s(t), the information is simultaneously available as a demodulated baseband information signal at terminal 208 .
- the PLL 202 includes an AGC system as described above.
- UFTs Universal frequency translators
- Related UFT Patents can be utilized as phase and/or frequency difference detectors.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a frequency difference detection module 402 , including a gating module 404 , low pass filters 418 and 420 , and loop filter 422 .
- the dual-switch gating modules 404 is functionally illustrated with universal frequency translators (UFTs), or switching modules, 406 and 408 , a pulse generator 410 , a delay element 412 , and capacitors 414 and 416 .
- UFTs universal frequency translators
- the gating module 404 can be implemented in a variety of configurations using a variety of components, and is not limited to the functional illustration of FIG. 4 .
- the pulse generator 410 controls the UFTs 406 and 408 , according to a control signal v(t) at terminal 426 , to transfer energy from a reference signal s(t) at terminal 424 , to the capacitors 414 and 416 , as described in the one or more of the Related UFT Patents.
- the delay element 412 causes the UFT 408 to down-convert s(t) 90 degrees out of phase with respect to UFT 406 .
- UFTs 406 and 408 are thus said to generate in-phase and quadrature-phase (I and Q) information channels 430 and 432 , respectively.
- the I and Q channels 430 and 432 are filtered by LPFs 418 and 420 , and then provided to the loop filter 422 , which generates the difference signal 428 .
- the difference signal d(t) is substantially proportional to the difference between v(t) and s(t).
- the loop filter 204 can be designed for desired stabilization and/or response characteristics. Based on the description herein, one skilled in the relevant art(s) will recognize that the loop filter 204 can be designed and implemented in a variety of configurations using hardware, firmware, software, or any combination thereof.
- loop filter 422 is implemented so that d(t) is positive when the frequency of s(t) is greater than the frequency of v(t), and negative when the frequency of s(t) is less than the frequency of v(t), with an amplitude that is relative to the difference value.
- An example implementation of this embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 6 , as part of a frequency locked loop, as is described in detail below.
- the present invention is not limited to the example loop filter 422 illustrated in FIG. 6 .
- the example of the loop filter 422 illustrated in FIG. 6 is not limited to implementations in frequency locked loops. Rather, the loop filter 422 illustrated in FIG. 6 can be implemented in systems other than frequency locked loops.

- the compensation module 504 adjusts the frequency of v(t), as necessary. In an embodiment, the compensation module 504 adjusts the frequency of v(t), to maintain d(t) substantially at a zero (i.e., to maintain the frequency of v(t), or a harmonic or sub-harmonic thereof, substantially equal to the frequency of s(t)).
- the loop filter 422 or the compensation module 504 includes an integration function, illustrated here as integration module 506 , that sums successive values of d(t), the result of which is used by the compensation module 504 to maintain the frequency of v(t), or a harmonic or sub-harmonic thereof, substantially equal to the frequency of s(t)).
- integration module 506 that sums successive values of d(t), the result of which is used by the compensation module 504 to maintain the frequency of v(t), or a harmonic or sub-harmonic thereof, substantially equal to the frequency of s(t)).
- FIG. 6 illustrates an example embodiment of the frequency locked loop 502 , including an example implementation of the loop filter 422 . It can be shown that d(t) is positive when the frequency of s(t) is greater than the frequency of v(t), and d(t) is negative when the frequency of s(t) is less than the frequency of v(t). The amplitude of d(t) is relative to the extent of the difference between the frequency of s(t) and v(t).
- ⁇ A is proportional to ⁇ s(t) -N ⁇ v(t) .
- the compensation module 504 includes a VCO that controls the frequency of v(t), based on d(t).
- a frequency synthesizer and/or any other frequency generator with frequency control can be utilized.

- the signal ⁇ square root over (I 2 +Q 2 ) ⁇ may be used as the control signal to a controlled amplifier.
- I and Q are the outputs, possibly amplified and filtered, of I and Q UFT devices.
- ⁇ square root over (I 2 +Q 2 ) ⁇ is directly proportional to the signal strength, and so provides an adequate control signal.
- the reference signal s(t) is a frequency modulated carrier signal
- information is encoded, or modulated, on the reference signal s(t) in the form of frequency changes about a carrier frequency.

- the D2D can readily control the phase of a local oscillator (LO) and the dPHI/dt, which is the frequency. If the LO is placed on-chip, the phase lock loop can be an on-chip analog circuit and this will use less power than a digital signal processing (DSP) solution. Analog solutions are almost always lower power solutions than DSP solutions. Based on classical phase lock loop theory, D2D implementation of the baseband clock recovery will simplify the baseband DSP and lower the power requirements of battery powered telecommunications devices requiring coherent detection schemes. The D2D embodiments described herein can be used to drastically reduce the power and weight and cost over a DSP solution.

- the control voltage is input to the baseband port and is used to modulate the phase and frequency of the LO.
- the loop filter transfer function will control the natural frequency of the loop and thus the 2BL.
- the third D2D takes the output of the phase controlling D2D and upconverts it to RF for phase comparison.
- the D2D demodulator function requires the subharmonic LO to be coherent with the received RF carrier. If this can be achieved without a residual carrier or a pilot tone, more of the transmitted energy can be committed to the useable signal-to-noise ratio (Eb/No).

- the output of the phase detector is input to a logic and loop filter circuit, which generates the control voltage to adjust the phase and frequency of the reference LO output signal.
- the D2D can readily control the phase of a LO and the dPHI/dt, which is the frequency. If the LO is placed on-chip, the phase lock loop can be an on-chip analog circuit, which will use less power than a DSP solution.

- 1.1 Gating Module as a Phase Difference Detector
-
FIG. 1 illustrates agating module 102, as described in one or more of the Related UFT Patents. InFIG. 1 , thegating module 102 is implemented and referred to herein as a phase difference detector. Thephase difference detector 102 is functionally illustrated with a UFT, or switchingmodule 104, acapacitor 106, and apulse generator 108.FIG. 1 is intended to functionally illustrate aspects of an embodiment of the present invention. As described in one or more of the Related UFT Patents, thephase difference detector 102 can be implemented in a variety of configurations using a variety of components. - In operation, the
pulse generator 108 controls theUFT 104 according to a control signal v(t) atterminal 112, to transfer energy from a reference signal s(t) atterminal 110, to thecapacitor 106, as described in the one or more of the Related UFT Patents. From the energy, or charge, transferred to thecapacitor 106, a difference signal d(t) is provided atoutput terminal 114. - The difference signal d(t) includes a down-converted version of the reference signal s(t). The difference signal d(t) is substantially proportional to a frequency and phase difference between s(t) and v(t). More specifically, as described in one or more of the Related UFT Patents, the frequency of d(t) is substantially equal to the frequency of s(t) minus N times the frequency of the control signal v(t). Thus, when the frequency of s(t) is substantially equal to N times the frequency of v(t), d(t) will be substantially constant. But, when the phase difference between s(t) and v(t) changes, the constant voltage level of d(t) will change.
- The amplitude of d(t) will depend, in part, on the phase of s(t) when the
switch 104 is closed. Theswitch 104 closes when thepulse generator 108 generates a pulse. Thepulse generator 108 generates a pulse when a rising edge of v(t) triggers thepulse generator 108 to generate a pulse. This is referred to as the trigger point of v(t). Thus, theswitch 104 closes on trigger points of v(t). - Generally, when the trigger point of v(t) is aligned with a maximum point of s(t)'s carrier frequency, s(t) and v(t) are said to be phase aligned, and the amplitude of d(t) will be at a relative maximum. But as the phase difference between v(t)'s trigger point and s(t) increases, the amplitude of d(t) decreases.
- As a result of the above description, when the frequency of s(t) is substantially equal to N times the frequency of v(t), the
gating module 102 can be viewed as a phase difference detector. One use for thephase difference detector 102 is in a phase locked loop, as described below. - 1.2 Implemented as a Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
- The
phase difference detector 102 can be implemented as part of a phase locked loop. In an embodiment, thephase detector 102 is used to simultaneously down-convert the reference signal s(t) and detect phase differences. In this embodiment, phase locking occurs at a lower frequency than the reference signal s(t), which reduces component cost and design complexities. In an example, a UFT is implemented in a phase locked loop. -
FIG. 2 illustrates thephase difference detector 102 fromFIG. 1 implemented in a phase locked loop (PLL) 202. The PLL 202 includes aloop filter 204 and acompensation module 206. - The
loop filter 204 can be designed for desired stabilization and/or response characteristics. Based on the description herein, one skilled in the relevant art(s) will recognize that theloop filter 204 can be designed and implemented in a variety of configurations using hardware, firmware, software, or any combination thereof. In an embodiment, theloop filter 204 includes an integration function that sums successive values of d(t). - The
compensation module 206 adjusts the phase and/or frequency of v(t), as necessary, to maintain d(t) at a zero. In an embodiment, when theloop filter 204 includes an integration function that sums successive values of d(t), the output of theloop filter 204 is used by thecompensation module 206 to maintain the phase and/or frequency of v(t) at a level that maintains d(t) at zero amplitude. - In operation, when the trigger point of v(t) is aligned with a zero crossing of s(t), d(t) will be substantially zero. As a result, there will be no change in the output of the integrator/
loop filter 204, and thus, thecompensation module 206 will make no changes to v(t). But when the phase of s(t) changes relative to the phase of v(t), d(t) will change away from zero, either positive or negative, depending on which direction the relative phases change. When d(t) changes from zero, positive or negative, the output of the integrator/loop filter 204 increases or decreases respectively, causing the compensation module to increase or decrease the phase and/or frequency of v(t). When the trigger point of v(t) is again aligned with a zero crossing of s(t), d(t) will return to zero. When d(t) returns to zero, the output of theloop filter 204 will hold its previous value until d(t) again changes. So long as the output of the loop filter remains constant at its previous level, thecompensation module 206 will maintain the phase and/or frequency of v(t) at its previous level. Thus, any relative phase change between s(t) and v(t) are corrected. - One use for phase locked loop as described above is for simultaneously down-converting and demodulating a phase modulated signal, as described below. Before discussing simultaneous down-converting and demodulation, exemplary implementation details of the compensation module will be discussed.
- 1.2.1 Controlling the Trigger Point of v(t)
- From the description of the v(t) trigger point above, it will be understood that, for phase locking, the relative phase difference between the v(t) trigger point and s(t) is to be controlled. The relative phase difference between the v(t) trigger point and s(t) can be controlled in a variety of ways.
- 1.2.1.1 Controlling the Trigger Point of v(t) with Phase Delay
- In an embodiment, the relative phase of v(t) is controlled by controlling a delay of v(t). This can be done with, for example, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). Phase delay can be implemented independently or as part of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). Based on the description herein, one skilled in the relevant art(s) will recognize how a conventional VCO with phase delay control can be incorporated into the
compensation module 206, in order to control the relative phase difference between the v(t) trigger point and s(t). - 1.2.1.2 Controlling the Trigger Point of v(t) with Bias Voltage
- In another embodiment, the relative phase difference between the v(t) trigger point and s(t) are controlled by controlling a bias voltage on v(t). This can be performed with the circuit illustrated in
FIG. 3 , or functional equivalents thereof. Changing the bias level of v(t) changes the voltage level for all of v(t) so that, for a given phase of v(t), the bias voltage can be adjusted to meet or exceed the trigger voltage of the pulse generator. In an embodiment, a linear region of v(t) is utilized for bias voltage adjustments. - 1.2.2. Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
- Phase difference detection can be affected by unintentional amplitude variations due to, for example, amplitude changes on the reference signal s(t), or DC offset voltages. In an embodiment, an automatic gain control (AGC) system is used to maintain relative amplitude control.
- 1.2.3 Using a PLL to Simultaneously Down-Convert and Demodulate a Phase Modulated Signal
- When the reference signal s(t) is a phase modulated carrier signal, information is encoded, or modulated, on the reference signal s(t) in the form of phase changes about a carrier frequency. In the PLL 202 of
FIG. 2 , these phase changes will appear as amplitude changes on d(t). When theloop filter 204 includes an integration-type function, as described above, the output of the loop filter will substantially resemble the information that was phase encoded on the reference signal s(t). Thus, while the PLL 202 maintains the phase relationship between v(t) and s(t), the information is simultaneously available as a demodulated baseband information signal atterminal 208. In an embodiment, the PLL 202 includes an AGC system as described above. - Universal frequency translators (UFTs), as taught and described in the Related UFT Patents, can be utilized as phase and/or frequency difference detectors.
- 2.1 Multiple UFTs for Frequency Detection
-
FIG. 4 illustrates a frequencydifference detection module 402, including a gating module 404, low pass filters 418 and 420, andloop filter 422. The dual-switch gating modules 404 is functionally illustrated with universal frequency translators (UFTs), or switching modules, 406 and 408, apulse generator 410, adelay element 412, andcapacitors FIG. 4 . - In operation, the
pulse generator 410 controls theUFTs terminal 426, to transfer energy from a reference signal s(t) atterminal 424, to thecapacitors delay element 412 causes theUFT 408 to down-convert s(t) 90 degrees out of phase with respect toUFT 406.UFTs - The I and Q channels 430 and 432 are filtered by LPFs 418 and 420, and then provided to the
loop filter 422, which generates thedifference signal 428. The difference signal d(t) is substantially proportional to the difference between v(t) and s(t). - The
loop filter 204 can be designed for desired stabilization and/or response characteristics. Based on the description herein, one skilled in the relevant art(s) will recognize that theloop filter 204 can be designed and implemented in a variety of configurations using hardware, firmware, software, or any combination thereof. - In an embodiment,
loop filter 422 is implemented so that d(t) is positive when the frequency of s(t) is greater than the frequency of v(t), and negative when the frequency of s(t) is less than the frequency of v(t), with an amplitude that is relative to the difference value. An example implementation of this embodiment is illustrated inFIG. 6 , as part of a frequency locked loop, as is described in detail below. The present invention is not limited to theexample loop filter 422 illustrated inFIG. 6 . The example of theloop filter 422 illustrated inFIG. 6 is not limited to implementations in frequency locked loops. Rather, theloop filter 422 illustrated inFIG. 6 can be implemented in systems other than frequency locked loops. - In an embodiment, a frequency difference detector, as described above, is utilized in a frequency locked loop, as described below.
- 2.2 Implemented as a Frequency Locked Loop
- The frequency difference detector 404 can be implemented as part of a frequency locked loop. In an embodiment, the frequency difference detector 404 is used to simultaneously down-convert the reference signal s(t) and detect frequency differences. In this embodiment, frequency locking occurs at a lower frequency than the reference signal s(t), which reduces component cost and design complexities.
-
FIG. 5 illustrates a frequency lockedloop 502, including the frequency difference detector 404 and acompensation module 504. Thecompensation module 504 controls v(t), based upon d(t). - The
compensation module 504 adjusts the frequency of v(t), as necessary. In an embodiment, thecompensation module 504 adjusts the frequency of v(t), to maintain d(t) substantially at a zero (i.e., to maintain the frequency of v(t), or a harmonic or sub-harmonic thereof, substantially equal to the frequency of s(t)). - In an embodiment, the
loop filter 422 or thecompensation module 504 includes an integration function, illustrated here asintegration module 506, that sums successive values of d(t), the result of which is used by thecompensation module 504 to maintain the frequency of v(t), or a harmonic or sub-harmonic thereof, substantially equal to the frequency of s(t)). -
FIG. 6 illustrates an example embodiment of the frequency lockedloop 502, including an example implementation of theloop filter 422. It can be shown that d(t) is positive when the frequency of s(t) is greater than the frequency of v(t), and d(t) is negative when the frequency of s(t) is less than the frequency of v(t). The amplitude of d(t) is relative to the extent of the difference between the frequency of s(t) and v(t). - In
FIG. 6 , point a can be defined as A sin(θA), where θ=∫ ω(t)dt. Since the frequency is of interest here, not phase, A sin(θA) can be written as sin(ωAt). - Point b can then be defined as B sin(θB), where θB=θA-90°. So B sin(θB) becomes cos(θA), which, for frequency detection, becomes cos(ωAt).
- It follows that:
-
- point b is ωAcos(ωAt);
- point e is −ωAsin(ωAt);
- point c is ωAcos2(ωAt);
- point f is −ωAsin2(ωAt); and
- point g is ωAcos2(ωAt)−(−ωASin2(ωAt))=ωA(cos2(θAt)+sin2(ωAt)), which equals ωA, since cos2(x)+sin2(x)=1.
- It can be shown that ωA is proportional to ωs(t)-Nωv(t). Thus, it can be shown that:
-
- when ωs(t) is greater than N times ωv(t), ωA is greater than zero; and
- when ωs(t) is less greater than N times ωv(t), ωA is less than zero.
ωA can thus be used to control v(t) with respect to s(t).
2.2.1 Controlling the Frequency of v(t) with a VCO
- In an embodiment, the
compensation module 504 includes a VCO that controls the frequency of v(t), based on d(t). In alternative embodiments, a frequency synthesizer and/or any other frequency generator with frequency control can be utilized. - 2.2.2 Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
- In some electronic systems, it may be desirable or necessary to maintain a constant signal level at some point in the system. To achieve a constant signal level, an AGC may be employed.
- The signal √{square root over (I2+Q2)}, or any reasonable approximation may be used as the control signal to a controlled amplifier. Here, I and Q are the outputs, possibly amplified and filtered, of I and Q UFT devices. As described previously, √{square root over (I2+Q2)} is directly proportional to the signal strength, and so provides an adequate control signal.
- 2.2.3 Using a Frequency Locked Loop to Simultaneously Down-Convert and Demodulate a Frequency Modulated Signal
- When the reference signal s(t) is a frequency modulated carrier signal, information is encoded, or modulated, on the reference signal s(t) in the form of frequency changes about a carrier frequency. In the frequency locked
loop 502 ofFIG. 5 , these phase changes will appear as amplitude changes on d(t). When the frequency lockedloop 502 includes an integration-type function, as described above, the output of the integration function will substantially resemble the information that was frequency encoded on the reference signal s(t). Thus, while the frequency locked loop maintains the frequency of v(t) at the frequency of s(t) divided by N, the information is simultaneously available as a demodulated baseband information signal atterminal 508. - The phase locked loops and frequency locked loops described herein can be utilized in combination so that a frequency locked loop tracks the frequency of s(t) and a phase locked loop tracks the phase of s(t).
- 4.1 Carrier Recovery and Tracking
- The D2D can readily control the phase of a local oscillator (LO) and the dPHI/dt, which is the frequency. If the LO is placed on-chip, the phase lock loop can be an on-chip analog circuit and this will use less power than a digital signal processing (DSP) solution. Analog solutions are almost always lower power solutions than DSP solutions. Based on classical phase lock loop theory, D2D implementation of the baseband clock recovery will simplify the baseband DSP and lower the power requirements of battery powered telecommunications devices requiring coherent detection schemes. The D2D embodiments described herein can be used to drastically reduce the power and weight and cost over a DSP solution.
- In the example carrier and acquisition architecture shown in
FIG. 7 , a D2D circuit is used in three places to perform three different functions. First, the D2D circuit is used as a phase detector to compare the phase of the reference carrier, which is coherent, with the sampling signal. Second, the D2D circuit is used as a control circuit to control the frequency and phase of a sampling LO so as to track the frequency and phase of the incoming signal. - Third, the D2D circuit is used to convert a sample of the sampling LO to RF so the D2D at RF can detect the phase difference between the incoming signal and the reference LO.
- In each of these three implementations, the D2D is configured differently. In the phase detector implementation, the two signals to be compared are input to the RF and the LO (or sampling) inputs. The output that would normally be the demodulated signal (baseband port) is a voltage proportional to the phase and frequency difference of the two signals (note that the average input power of both signals should the same in this case). An automatic gain control (AGC) will probably be required. The output of the phase detector is low pass filtered and the filtered voltage is used to control the second D2D. The control voltage is input to the baseband port and is used to modulate the phase and frequency of the LO. The loop filter transfer function will control the natural frequency of the loop and thus the 2BL. The third D2D takes the output of the phase controlling D2D and upconverts it to RF for phase comparison.
- 4.2 Carrier Acquisition and Tracking
- The D2D demodulator function requires the subharmonic LO to be coherent with the received RF carrier. If this can be achieved without a residual carrier or a pilot tone, more of the transmitted energy can be committed to the useable signal-to-noise ratio (Eb/No).
FIG. 7 illustrates a block diagram of such an implementation. - Since D2D can translate any baseband signal to RF by appropriately modulating the carrier, D2D can be used to modify the phase or frequency of a LO output. The output of the low frequency LO is RF/m, where m is greater or equal to n. The first D2D translates RF/m to RF/n with a phase and frequency offset determined by the control voltage. The output of the first D2D is split. One signal goes to the quadrature D2D, which performs the direct to data conversion as covered in the Related UFT Patents. The second output is input to the second D2D, which translates the output to RF. At RF, another D2D (or any phase detector), is used to determine the phase error between the reference signal and the received signal.
- The output of the phase detector is input to a logic and loop filter circuit, which generates the control voltage to adjust the phase and frequency of the reference LO output signal.
- 4.3 Baseband Symbol Clock Recovery with D2D
- The D2D can readily control the phase of a LO and the dPHI/dt, which is the frequency. If the LO is placed on-chip, the phase lock loop can be an on-chip analog circuit, which will use less power than a DSP solution. Analog solutions are almost always lower power solutions than DSP solutions. Based on classical phase lock loop theory, D2D implementation of the baseband clock recovery will simplify the baseband DSP and lower the power requirements of battery powered telecommunications devices requiring coherent detection schemes. The D2D embodiments described herein can be used to drastically reduce the power and weight and cost over a DSP solution.
- In the example baseband symbol clock recovery architecture shown in
FIG. 8 , a D2D circuit is used in two places to perform two different functions. - First, the D2D circuit is used as a phase detector to compare the phase of the baseband signal on either the I or Q channel to that of the baseband clock, which will be used to sample the baseband waveforms. Second, the D2D circuit is used as a control circuit to control the frequency and phase of a baseband clock so as to track the frequency and phase of the incoming baseband signal.
- In each of these two implementations, the D2D is configured differently. In the phase detector implementation, the two signals to be compared are input to the RF and the LO (or sampling) inputs. The output that would normally be the demodulated signal (baseband port) is a voltage proportional to the phase and frequency difference of the two signals (note that the average input power of both signals should the same). An AGC will probably be required. The output of the phase detector is low pass filtered, and the filtered voltage is used to control the second D2D. The control voltage is input to the baseband port and is used to modulate the phase and frequency of the LO. The loop filter transfer function will control the natural frequency of the loop and thus the 2BL.
- 5.1 LMS Algorithm for Convergence
- In the modulator configuration, shown in
FIG. 9 , the baseband signal will modulate (or modify) the input signal of the subharmonic port. By adjusting the voltage on the baseband port, the phase and amplitude of the signal on the subharmonic port can be controlled to create any arbitrary phase and amplitude of the signal input to the subharmonic port on the RF output port. - In a transversal equalizer application, the signal on the subharmonic port is at the same frequency as the signal on the RF output port. In this case, the D2D and the equalizer tap are used. For convenience, the subharmonic, baseband, and RF ports are referred to as ports A, B and C, respectively.
- 5.2 LMS Baseband Transversal Equalizer
- The poly-phase filter or transversal equalizer is known to persons of skill in the art. The uniqueness of this embodiment, among other features, is the use of the D2D to facilitate the implementation of the analog equalizer on a chip and as part of a system on a chip. The D2D implementation of the baseband transversal equalizer will be lower cost, lower power and lower weight and volume than the equivalent implementation in either discrete components or a DSP solution. A LMS solution can be implemented in logic (on or off chip) to control the tap weights of the equalizer by analyzing the sampled output from the A/D converters in the DSP portion of the system and minimizing the squared error. Use of D2D in this embodiment results in the benefits realized as described above. A convergence algorithm, such as a constant modulus algorithm (CMA), can be used.
- Due to the very small size, extremely large dynamic range and signal quality, and low power consumption of the D2D, very long analog equalizers can be realized, which can be used for a wide range of channel bandwidths. If the equalizer is designed for a T/2 implementation at some symbol rate R, the equalizer can be used at any rate of R/m as long as the group delay does not exceed the time length of the entire equalizer. The T/2 will simply become T/n where n is greater than 2. The benefits of a fractional spaced equalizer will be fully realized at all data rates.
- An example LMS implementation of a baseband linear transversal equalizer is shown in
FIG. 10 . B(i) are determined by some algorithm, such as LMS. The coefficients B(i) change at a very low rate (e.g., on the order of 10 to 100 Hz). If the equalizer is being used to compensate for multipath, the update must be faster than the time constant for the multipath. If “T” is less than one half of the symbol period, then the implementation shown inFIG. 10 becomes an adaptive matched filter because it is a fractional spaced equalizer. - Applications of the LMS implementation of the baseband transversal equalizer include: hand held communications devices and fixed systems, equalizers on satellite transponders to equalize up-link group delay, and any radio channel with linear group delay.

As described above, the D2D implementation of the transversal equalizer will be lower cost, lower power and lower weight and volume than the equivalent implementation in either discrete components or a DSP solution. In a zero forcing implementation of the baseband linear transversal equalizer, the sample at each time tap point is sent to a D2D correlator, which determines the correlation with the punctual signal. The output voltage of the D2D is input to a zero forcing function, and the control tap weight “B” is sent to the subject tap, which is done in parallel with all taps simultaneously, independent of modulation. Use of D2D in this application results in the benefits realized as described above.
- Due to the very small size, extremely large dynamic range and signal quality, and low power consumption of the D2D, very long analog equalizers can be realized, which can be used for a wide range of channel bandwidths.
