20090098834 | FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER, RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - In transmission frequency modulation in radio communication, correspondences to multiple-value frequency modulation having plural-bits transmission data are realized while suppressing an increase in the circuit area. When performing transmission frequency modulation in radio communication, response data of a digital filter are calculated by a logic circuit that is embedded in a transmission modulator. Since a change amount in the division number is calculated by the logic circuit, a ROM for storing the response data is dispensed with, and thereby an increase in the circuit area can be suppressed when the transmission modulator corresponds to variations in the frequency of a reference signal or to multiple-value frequency modulation having plural-bits transmission data. Further, bandwidth narrowing of a transmission signal spectrum is realized by performing the transmission frequency modulation with dividing the process thereof into plural steps using a timing synchronized with a clock. | 04-16-2009 |
20090102570 | PHASE LOCKED LOOP CIRCUIT AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - In a PLL circuit including a VCO having a plurality of oscillation frequency bands, a TDC circuit calculates a phase difference between a predetermined reference signal from a fixed frequency divider and a PLL frequency-divided signal from a variable frequency divider on a rising edge of the reference signal and then calculates a phase difference between the reference signal and the PLL frequency-divided signal on the next rising edge of the reference signal in the same manner. From information on the two calculated phase differences, the TDC circuit detects the amount of time by which the phase of the PLL frequency-divided signal leads or lags with respect to that of the reference signal in one cycle of the reference signal, thereby detecting which of the signals, the reference signal or the PLL frequency-divided signal, has a higher frequency and which has a lower frequency. Therefore, for each oscillation frequency band, the frequency comparison is completed in one cycle of the reference signal, allowing an oscillation frequency band selection circuit to detect an optimum oscillation frequency band corresponding to a predetermined PLL output frequency in a short time. | 04-23-2009 |
