Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for controlling the frequency of the output signal of a controllable oscillator (202) in a frequency synthesizer (200). SOLUTION: One such system comprises a controllable oscillator (202) and a frequency control circuit (208). The controllable oscillator (202) is configured to generate an output signal that has a predetermined frequency. The controllable oscillator (202) is also configured with a plurality of operational states that are controlled by the frequency control circuit (208). Each operational state of the controllable oscillator (202) defines a distinct frequency for the output signal of the controllable oscillator (202). The frequency control circuit (208) receives the output signal of the controllable oscillator (202) and determines the distinct frequency for the output signal that best approximates the predetermined frequency. The frequency control circuit (208) may also provide a control signal to the controllable oscillator (202) that is configured to change the controllable oscillator (202) to the operational state corresponding to the distinct frequency that best approximates the predetermined frequency.

Abstract:
A multi-band transceiver for receiving and transmitting signals within selected GSM frequency bands. Transmission and reception occurs simultaneously and within the same time slot of a TDMA frame. The transceiver includes a first local oscillator LO1 that selectively oscillates within a bandwidth corresponding to the selected GSM band and outputs a signal having a frequency fLO1. A second local oscillator LO2 selectively oscillates at a frequency corresponding to the selected GSM band and outputs a signal having a frequency fLO2. A receiver receives a signal having a frequency fRx and mixes the signals from the first and second local oscillators to generate a demodulating signal having a frequency fRx, wherein fRx=fLO1±fLO2. A transmitter having a loop architecture includes a VCO that generates a signal having a transmit frequency fTx equal to fRx minus a comparison frequency fCF, and a mixer that mixes the signal from the first local oscillator with the transmit signal to generate an IF signal having a frequency fIF=fLO2±fCF. A quadrature mixer that modulates the IF signal with baseband "I" and "Q" signals, and a phase detector that compares the phases of the IF signal and the signal from the second local oscillator and outputs a control voltage to the VCO.
Abstract:
A multi-band transceiver having a receiver portion and a transmitter portion, wherein the receiver portion includes a direct conversion receiver system for directly downconverting a signal to baseband frequencies. The direct conversion receiver system includes a frequency translator having first and second inputs and an output. A first signal at a first frequency is applied to the first input. A second signal having a second frequency is applied to the second input. The first frequency is preferably an nth order subharmonic of the second frequency, wherein n is an integer greater than 1. A low pass filter is integral with or inherent to the first input, and a high pass filter is integral with or inherent to the second input. The corner frequencies of both the low pass and high pass filters is above the first frequency and below the second frequency.
