A.3. the correction based on standard wave and clock signal, clock signal frequency
Oscillating circuit 23 generates in order to which internal portion's moment carries out clock signal used in timing.Oscillating circuit 23 includes water Crystal oscillator.Oscillating circuit 23 is, such as vibrates VCO (the voltage-controlled vibration of the clock signal of frequency of oscillation corresponding with control voltage out Swing device).
The frequency and oscillating circuit 23 of the carrier wave for the standard wave that control unit 22 is received based on receiving unit 21 are generated The frequency of clock signal, and oscillating circuit 23 is controlled, so that the frequency of clock signal is close to reference frequency f0.Benchmark frequency Rate f0 is determined according to the carrier frequency of standard wave.In order to which to progress timing in one second, reference frequency f0 was preferably, with 2 power Value divided after frequency become 1Hz frequency, for example, by using 32.768kHz.Hereinafter, reference frequency f0 is set as 32.768kHz。
As described above, the frequency error of the carrier wave of standard wave is minimum.Therefore, it is in the frequency of the carrier wave of standard wave In the case where fc, frequency obtained from being f0/fc times by the frequency conversion of the carrier wave of standard wave is considered as reference frequency f0. Hereinafter, the signal that frequency is benchmark frequency f0 is known as " reference wave ".
More specifically, the control method for the oscillating circuit 23 realized by control unit 22 is illustrated.Control unit 22 wraps Containing determining section 221, correcting section 222 and control voltage generating unit 223.Frequency of the determining section 221 to reference frequency f0 and clock signal Rate fVCODifference delta f v be determined.Hereinafter, by the frequency f of reference frequency f0 and clock signalVCODifference be known as " difference on the frequency Point ".
In order to be determined to frequency differential Δ fv, determining section 221 generates reference wave according to the carrier wave of standard wave.Tool For body, in determining section 223, as the arithmetic unit for the numerical operation for implementing conversion frequency, and vibrated using Numerical Control type Device (NCO:Numerical Controlled Oscillator).Also, determining section 221 implements NCO to the carrier wave of standard wave Operation, to be converted to reference wave.NCO can convert a signal into the signal of arbitrary frequency.In the present embodiment, such as It is described above, since the frequency of the carrier wave of standard wave is 40kHz, by being by the frequency conversion of the carrier wave of standard wave f0/(40×103) times, so as to be benchmark wave by the wave conversion of standard wave.
It is then determined portion 221 is based on the reference wave at moment t1 (example at " the first moment ") and between clock signal The second phase between reference wave and clock signal at first phase difference, moment t2 (example at " the second moment ") it is poor and Time PDI from moment t1 until moment t2, and frequency differential Δ fv is determined.Time, PDI was preferably less than base The a cycle of quasi- frequency f0.Specifically, determining section 221 synthesizes reference wave with clock signal, thus after generating synthesis Signal (referred to as I signal) and the signal (referred to as Q signal) for making I signal delay pi/2 phase.It is then determined portion 221 is according to I signal And Q signal, and to the value I of I signal at the time of have passed through after time PDI from measuring start time at t1t1And the value of Q signal Qt1And the value I of I signal at the time of from moment t1 further across after time PDI at t2t2And the value of Q signal Qt2It is determined.
In fig. 3 it is shown that It1、Qt1、It2And Qt2Relationship.As shown in figure 3, I signal and Q signal are in the form of plural number Show the phase difference between reference wave and clock signal.The phase changing capacity Δ φ of difference from first phase difference to second phaset12 It is indicated by following formula (1).
Δφt12t2t1 (1)
φt1It is first phase difference.φt2It is that second phase is poor.φt1=It1+jQt1, φt2=It2+jQt2.J is imaginary number list Position.According to trigonometry, formula (1) is converted into following formula (2) using X=Cross/Dot.
Δφt12=tan-1(X) (2)
Here, Cross=It1×Qt2-It2×Qt1, Dot=It1×It2+Qt1×Qt2.In turn, shown by following formula (3) Δ φ outt12
Δφt12+ 2n π=2 π × PDI × fVCO (3)
N is 0 or more integer.Here, being set as 0 < Δ φt122 π of <, and find out be set as follows using formula (3) The time PDI of n=0.
The frequency f of clock signalVCOAs close to reference frequency f0.Therefore, time PDI is less than one of reference frequency f0 Period, and can almost be set as n=0.But in the frequency f of clock signalVCOIn the case where greater than reference frequency f0, if when Between PDI close to a cycle of reference frequency f0, then n may be 1 or more.It is therefore preferable that being, the time, PDI can be fully Measure It1With It2Difference and Qt1With Qt2Difference, and time PDI is sufficiently smaller than a cycle of reference frequency f0.By can It is set as n=0, so that operation spent by the determination of frequency differential Δ fv is simplified, also, the time spent by operation is contracted It is short.If n=0, formula (2) and formula (3) are utilized, and indicates the frequency f of clock signal by following formula (4)VCO
fVCO=tan-1(X)/(PDI×2π) (4)
Moreover, according to the frequency f of frequency differential Δ fv=clock signalVCOReference frequency f0, determining section 221 utilize formula (4) frequency differential Δ fv is determined.
Explanation is back to Fig. 2.
Correcting section 222 is based on frequency differential Δ fv and controls oscillating circuit 23, thus with the frequency of clock signal fVCOIt makes corrections close to the mode of reference frequency f0.More specifically, correcting section 222 is by controlling oscillating circuit 23 System, so that the voltage based on frequency differential Δ fv is input to oscillating circuit 23.For example, correcting section 222 is generated to control voltage The supply of portion 223 indicates that frequency differential Δ fv is cancelled the data of such voltage.Voltage generating unit 223 is controlled to the number being supplied to According to D/A conversion is carried out, to control voltage to shown in 23 output data of oscillating circuit.
Voltage for offsetting frequency differential Δ fv carries out more specific description.It is assumed that following situation, that is, fixed first When, the oscillating circuit 23 for being entered voltage V0 vibrates the clock signal of reference frequency f0 out, and in the second timing, determining section 221 is right Frequency differential Δ fv is determined.In the time longer situation from the first timing until the second timing, clock letter Number frequency changed according to the ongoing change of oscillating circuit 23.In addition, in the temperature and the second timing of the first timing In the case that temperature is different, the frequency of clock signal also changes.In this case, correcting section 222 is raw to control voltage Frequency differential Δ fv is offset and is set as the frequency of clock signal at the second timing at the notice of portion 223 number of reference frequency f0 According to.For example, controlling voltage generating unit in the case where being equivalent to the size of control voltage of frequency differential Δ fv is "-Δ V " 223 outputs indicate the data of " V0- Δ V ".
Internal time correction portion 242 is set according to frequency differential Δ fv and from information at the time of being based on standard wave The quantity of clock signal from the internal moment until current, and make corrections to the internal moment.To specific correction method into Row explanation.It is assumed that receiving unit 21 receives standard wave, and understands from TCO lsb decoder 241 standard wave in the first timing Extraction time encodes in TCO signal after tune, and internal time correction portion 242 correspond to time encoding and to the internal moment into Setting is gone.In turn, it is assumed that in the first timing, the carrier wave of the standard wave that determining section 221 is received based on receiving unit 21 and when Clock signal, and frequency differential Δ fv0 is determined, correcting section 222 makes the frequency of clock signal based on frequency differential Δ fv0 fVCOIt is consistent with reference frequency f0.And, it is assumed that at the second timing after the first timing, receiving unit 21 receives standard again Electric wave, the carrier wave and clock signal of the standard wave that determining section 221 is received based on receiving unit 21, and to frequency differential Δ fv into Row determines.
Internal time correction portion 242 in the case where receiving frequency differential Δ fv, to the current inside moment add from In quantity × (1/ (f0+ Δ the fv) -1/f0) for the clock signal that the first timing carries out the internal moment to have set until current. (1/ (f0+ Δ fv) -1/f0) indicate due to by a clock and generate away from it is correct at the time of error.For example, in Δ fv In the case where for positive value, after the first timing, the time of a clock shortens, thus at the time of the internal moment is faster than correct. Also, since (1/ (f0+ Δ fv) -1/f0) becomes negative value, internal time correction portion 242 is by reducing the internal moment Value, so as to make the internal moment close to it is correct at the time of.
Fig. 4 is the figure for indicating the flow chart of frequency correction processing.Receiving unit 21 receives standard wave (step S1).Determining section The carrier wave of 221 pairs of standard waves received implements the operation of NCO, to be converted to reference wave (step S2).
It is then determined portion 221 obtains the clock signal (step S3) of oscillating circuit 23.Also, determining section 221 is according to synthesis The I signal and Q signal of reference wave and clock signal, and to the value I of the I signal at moment t1t1And the value Q of Q signalt1It carries out It detects (step S4).It is next determined that the value I of the I signal at 221 pairs of portion moment t2t2And the value Q of Q signalt2Detected (step Rapid S5).Then, it is determined that portion 221 is based on It1、Qt1、It2、Qt2And time PDI, and using formula (4) and to frequency differential Δ fv It is determined (step S6).
Correcting section 222 is based on frequency differential Δ fv and to the frequency f of clock signalVCOMaked corrections (step S7).In step For S7 after processing terminate, electronic watch 1 terminates a series of processing.
A.4. the effect of first embodiment
As indicated above, the frequency f of the frequency and clock signal of carrier wave of the control unit 22 based on standard waveVCO, and to vibration It swings circuit 23 to be controlled, so that the frequency f of clock signalVCOClose to reference frequency f0.In this way, due to utilizing High-Accuracy Frequency The carrier wave for the standard wave that ground is managed and frequency f to clock signalVCOIt is controlled, therefore by receiving standard wave Always to the frequency f of clock signalVCOIt makes corrections, at the time of so as to make the internal moment persistently indicate correct.In addition, such as Described above, TCO signal lights one point until it have passed through one minute with the time that the second from the national standard at the time of is 0 second Clock indicates time information.Therefore, it when in a part during have passed through one minute standard wave can not be received, receives Portion 21 can not demodulate standard wave, to be unable to get TCO signal.As a result, electronic watch 1 can not to it is internal when Quarter is set.Therefore, until obtaining TCO signal, the precision at internal moment can be reduced.For example, being influenced by noise etc. And the receiving intensity of standard wave the case where temporarily reducing, meets such case.
However, in the first embodiment, even a part can not received standard wave, by with can receive The carrier wave of partial standard wave and always to the frequency f of clock signalVCOIt makes corrections, to also the internal moment can be made to hold At the time of continued shows correct.If being capable of frequency f to clock signalVCOIt is maked corrections and by frequency differential Δ fv/ reference frequency F0 maintains ± 0.03ppm (parts per million), then can be realized year difference is ± 1 second.
In addition, determining section 221 is determined the frequency differential Δ fv of the frequency of reference frequency f0 and clock signal, correction The frequency differential Δ fv based on determined by determining section 221 of portion 222, and oscillating circuit 23 is controlled, so that so that clock is believed Number frequency fVCOMode close to reference frequency f0 makes corrections.Correcting section 222 passes through in a manner of offsetting frequency differential Δ fv Oscillating circuit 23 is controlled, so as to make the frequency f of clock signalVCOClose to reference frequency f0.
In addition, determining section 221 implements the operation of NCO to the carrier wave of standard wave, to be transformed to reference wave.As a result, can Access high-precision reference wave.
In addition, determining section 221 be based on that first phase difference, second phase be poor and time PDI and to frequency differential Δ fv into Row determines.The mode being determined based on phase difference to frequency differential Δ fv, can be short within several ms to several seconds With ± 10 in time-7Precision and frequency differential Δ fv/ reference frequency f0 is determined.
To the case where capable of being carried out in a short time based on phase difference to the mode that frequency differential Δ fv is determined into Row explanation.In the mode being determined based on phase difference to frequency differential Δ fv, in order to find out the X in above-mentioned formula (2), and from It measures from the time by moment t2, it is therefore desirable to the time of time PDI × 2.Due to time PDI to a length of about 1/ benchmark frequency Rate f0, therefore become time PDI × 2=2/ (32.768 × 1030.06 millisecond of)=about.According to the above, it is being based on phase Difference and in the mode that is determined to frequency differential Δ fv, time PDI × 2 are to a length of 0.06 millisecond, even if to add formula (4) Operation spent by the time, can also implement in such short time within several ms to several seconds.
In contrast, the mode as the difference for obtaining two frequencies, has following so-called counter type, that is, Within n (n is natural number) times of a cycle for the frequency that will be used as benchmark of time, to another several frequency The period of rate is counted and is determined to another frequency.But in counter type, it is intended to the precision with ppm and right When frequency differential Δ fv/ reference frequency f0 is determined, it may be desirable to the long time.More specifically, by counter type Quantity of the obtained precision dependent on the clock of another frequency in certain time.Therefore, it is improved in counter type Precision needs to increase the quantity of the clock of another frequency, it is therefore desirable to increase n, thus this low frequency of 32.768kHz not It is practical.In this way, compared with counter type, it can be in short-term to the frequency differential Δ fv method being determined based on phase difference Interior implementation.
By that can be determined in a short time to frequency differential Δ fv, to implement the benefit at internal moment in a short time Just become easy.
In addition, correcting section 222 passes through so that the control voltage based on frequency differential Δ fv is input into oscillating circuit 23 Mode oscillating circuit 23 is controlled, so that the frequency to clock signal makes corrections.It is based on frequency differential Δ fv as a result, Voltage be input into oscillating circuit 23, being capable of frequency f to clock signalVCOIt makes corrections, so that the internal moment can hold At the time of continued shows correct.
In addition, internal time correction portion 242 sets the internal moment based on frequency differential Δ fv and from based on standard wave It plays the quantity of the clock signal until current and makes corrections to the internal moment.As a result, and in the feelings for receiving standard wave The case where being set always using TCO signal to the internal moment under condition is compared, and electronic watch 1 can reduce the internal moment The spent workload of correction.Specifically, in order to obtain TCO signal and need to demodulate standard wave, but in benefit In the case where being maked corrections with the carrier wave of standard wave to the internal moment, standard wave can not also be demodulated.Therefore, By being maked corrections using the difference of reference frequency and the frequency of clock signal to the internal moment, thus with standard electric is being received The case where being maked corrections always with TCO signal to the internal moment in the case where wave is compared, and the correction institute at internal moment can be reduced The workload of consuming, thus, it is possible to terminate in a short time.
In addition, in the case where being set with TCO signal to the internal moment, in JJY, as noted previously, as to TCO Signal, which send, will spend one minute, therefore is set to the internal moment and at least to expend one minute or more.In contrast, In the case where being maked corrections with frequency differential Δ fv to the internal moment, can within the short time within several ms to several seconds into The determination of line frequency difference delta f v.
