Description
Invention field
The present invention relates to communication system.Particularly, the present invention relates to be used for being created in the system and the technology of the accurate low-noise periodic signal of using in the communication system.
Description of related art
Use periodic electrical signal in various demands are used, wherein the demand is used to comprise and is used for the signal of modulation and demodulation in analog circuit and the reference oscillator (referenceoscillator) of the clock of digital circuit.This application requires very accurate noiselike signal usually, and the function that it consumed is minimum can to keep accuracy simultaneously in very wide scope.
In the digital communication system such as code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system, the accuracy of sort signal is very important.In cdma system, usually the frequency inverted in a certain scope is become different frequency range or frequency bands.The accuracy of clock signal has influenced the accuracy of frequency inverted.For example, in the cdma cellular telephone net, the local oscillator in mobile receiver (LO) provide periodic signal, and it promotes the conversion of Incoming radio frequency (RF) signal to intermediate frequency (IF) signal.If the frequency inaccuracy of local oscillator may will be transformed into through switching signal outside the required IF frequency band range so.
Digital communication system can adopt a kind of waveform that comes the demodulation Digital Modulation in the several different methods.This method comprises binary system-phase-shift keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying method (QPSK), skew QPSK (OQPSK), M system phase shift keying method (MPSK) or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).This system need lock the RF signal that receives usually.Modulator is locked in the ability on this signal and worsens the influence that represented performance all is subjected to the phase noise of the clock signal that produced by the ratio of the bit error rate that records (BER) and theoretic BER.
Usually be created in the periodic signal of using in the digital communication system by the crystal oscillator with specific analog tuner circuit, wherein above-mentioned specific analog tuner circuit is used in response to the frequency of high BER adjusting oscillator.Generally, appended analog tuner circuit is very expensive and huge.
Accurately another kind of but expensive oscillator is a voltage controlled temperature compensated crystal oscillator.Yet the frequency range of these oscillators of self using is restricted.This is the semaphore lock ability of restriction mobile receiver usually.On the other hand, produce accurate relatively periodic signal by voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with one or more phase-locked loops (PLL).PLL is that output is by the circuit of the signal of phase locking on input signal.PLL improves frequency accuracy, and reduces any phase noise by the periodic signal of VCO output, and has expanded possible reference frequency output., and provide by another PLL, Direct Digital synthesizer (DDS), voltage controlled oscillator or numerically-controlled oscillator (NCO) usually as the reference signal to the input signal of PLL.
By changing the specific PLL parameter such as loop feedback frequency dividing ratio (feedback divide ratio), gradable (in step) regulates output frequency.This, size determined frequency resolution (frequency resolution) and the class interval of PLL also to depend on some PLL parameter class interval.
Must produce several different frequencies according to single periodic signal, to drive the different local oscillators in circuit.Usually come to synthesize periodic signal scope under accurate frequency with PLL according to single periodic signal.
Yet the PLL that is driven by traditional oscillators is subjected to a lot of restrictions usually.For example, the output of PLL comprises tangible parasitic noise usually.In addition, the reference frequency output that causes being allowed owing to poor frequency resolution is restricted relatively, and because the restriction of design causes only scalable PLL in the coarse adjustment frequency diversity itself.
In order to reduce parasitic noise and to increase frequency resolution, adopt two PLL usually.Additional PLL provides to main PLL input or reference signal is provided, and improves the control to reference frequency.This causes exporting the frequency resolution and the precision height of periodic signal.
Yet the 2nd PLL represents additional firmware, and it has taken valuable circuit board space and consumed power.Secondary power consumption is a problem in the scope phone especially, because the battery life of mobile unit is crucial Consideration.In addition, the low switching times of this system causes output drift (wander) significantly between loop is proofreaied and correct of main PLL.
Owing to adopt two restrictions that PLL caused, replace second PLL to provide reference signal with DDS in order to overcome usually to main PLL.DDS generally improves the switch speed of frequency resolution and PLL, has improved the flexibility of PLL design simultaneously.Yet typical DDS drives PLL and exists tangible restriction equally.
Typical DDS long number-analogue converter (DAC).As known in the art, multidigit DAC is subjected to hardware constraints, and it causes producing overshoot (glitch) by the signal of the circuit output of adopting these devices.During all in being less than DAC, overshoot is the result change simultaneously.So when their appropriate value produced the position variation, output waveform presented interim improper value.This overshoot causes parasitic frequency tone (frequency tone) (that is overshoot noise) occurring in DAC output place that very approaches required output frequency.Spurious tone can worsen the PLL performance.
The output of DAC also comprises quantizing noise, and it is directly related with the amplitude resolution of DAC.Amplitude resolution is decided by the figure place that is used for DAC calculating.Have the power that the DAC of good amplitude resolution and frequency response is tending towards overrunning, and very expensive.In addition, when the periodic signal frequency increased, spurious tone more was a problem, and had also further limited the scope that can allow output frequency.
So, need a kind of system that the very accurate periodic signal of wide frequency range can be provided, its noise minimum and switch speed are fast.
Summary of the invention

In a specific embodiment, the present invention also provides a kind of Direct Digital synthesizer that is used to provide first signal under first frequency.Oscillator produces the analog that is input to the Direct Digital synthesizer.The Direct Digital synthesizer converts oscillator output signal to first signal.Low order digit-analogue converter is implemented as the delta sigma digital-to-analog converter.In preferred embodiment, the delta sigma digital-to-analog converter is a delta sigma digital-to-analog converter, and comprises the delta sigma modulator, and its exponent number is greater than 2.Noise setting signal is a digital signal, and by band pass filter it is carried out filtering removing any remaining signal of not wanting, such as by the delta sigma digital-to-analog converter it being released quantizing noise outside frequency band range.The output of delta sigma digital-to-analog converter is input to phase-locked loop.
