    Abstract: The communications system includes a first communications unit (2) and a second communications unit, each capable of communication with the other. The first communications unit has a first internal clock and the second communications unit has a second internal clock. The method includes the steps of receiving a receive signal (4) by the first communications unit (2) from the second communications unit, adjusting the receive signal (4) to obtain an adjusted receive clock signal (60) that tracks the receive data signal (4), accumulating the adjustments made in the adjusting step, applying the adjustments accumulated to vary the first internal clock in order to slave the first internal clock to the second internal clock of the second communications unit so as to obtain an adjusted signal (34) that is the adjusted and slaved first internal clock, and deriving a transmit clock (62) from the adjusted signal. With this method, the transmit clock (62) exhibits substantially less jitter because it is not directly derived from the jittered receive clock signal (60). The invention may in particular be applied to communication between a base set unit and handset unit of a digital cordless telephone.

    Abstract: A digital communications DQPSK passband detector having a matched filter, a differential decoder, and a slicer that use elementary circuit components. In the matched filter, recovered carrier references signals are fed along with the received signal to a pair of XNOR gates. This arrangement effectively results in a multiplication operation without any complex circuit elements. The outputs of the XNOR gates control the direction of counting of a pair of binary counters that generate correlated values of the I and Q components in the received signal. Thus, the integrate/dump circuits of a conventional matched filter are replaced with simpler digital counters. A digital differential decoder to extract the phase difference information between two consecutive received symbols is built from a network of delay elements, multipliers, and adders to recover the phase data. The digital differential decoder produces a digital complex-signal output that can be quantized in a digital slicer to decode the plurality of binary bits transmitted through the data symbols. All these operations are performed on digital signals with basic digital circuit elements, thus resulting in a repeatable robust receiver design without complex hardware components.

    Abstract: A phase detector using simple arithmetic operations to measure phase errors in the carrier-recovery mechanism for a DQPSK digital communications receiver. The carrier-recovery mechanism is a feedback loop that provides a synchronization between the oscillators in the transmitter and receiver of the communications system; the phase detector measures deviations from this synchronization and generates a phase-error signal used in the feedback loop to synchronize the oscillators. To perform this measurement, the phase detector takes the received signal as input and compares it against a local oscillator in the receiver to generate two digital signals: the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) components of the received signal. These signals are the input to a logic unit, which uses these two signals to determine the phase-error signal. In one embodiment of the phase detector, the logic unit analyzes the signs of the two digital signals and then accordingly adds or subtracts the I and Q signals to generate the phase-error signal. In another embodiment, the logic unit determines the magnitude of the phase-error signal by finding the difference in magnitudes of the two digital signals and constructing a phase-error signal proportional to this difference. The logic unit then determines the sign of the phase-error signal by analyzing the signs of the I and Q digital signals. The logic unit thus uses simple arithmetic operations to generate the phase-error signal, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the phase detector.

    Abstract: A carrier-recovery loop for a receiver in a communication system with features that facilitate initialization of the loop. The carrier-recovery loop is a PLL that uses a feedback signal to keep a recovery oscillator phase-locked to the carrier of a received signal. In the present invention, an initializing value of the feedback signal is stored in a memory and provided to a digitally controlled recovery oscillator (DCO). This initializing value brings the recovered signal to an initial frequency that approximates the carrier frequency. When the receivers start to acquire a phase-lock with the carrier, the carrier-recovery loop is in a condition close to the desired phase lock. Preparing the DCO in this manner imparts a significant improvement to the carrier-recovery loop. The response time for the loop to acquire a phase lock depends in part on its initial frequency offset from the carrier. In general, reducing this initial offset reduces the loop's acquisition time. By thus anticipating the frequency of the carrier, this carrier-recovery loop can have an improved acquisition time to reach phase lock. The initialization value of the feedback signal can be generated by recording a sample of the feedback signal when the carrier-recovery loop is phase-locked to a received signal or to an on-board crystal oscillator. The invention also includes a mechanism to correct drifts in the crystal oscillator's frequency.
