Patent number: 7545847Abstract: A frequency synthesizer applied to a frequency hopping system includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a phase lock loop (PLL) system, a second frequency divider, a first SSB mixer, a second SSB mixer, and a multiplexer. The VCO generates an oscillating frequency. The PLL system includes a first frequency divider and divides the oscillating frequency by 10 to generate a first dividing signal. The second frequency divider divides the oscillating frequency by 2 to generate a second dividing signal and further divides the second dividing signal by 2 to generate a third dividing signal. The first SSB mixer mixes frequencies of the second and third dividing signals to generate a first mixing signal. The second SSB mixer mixes frequencies of the first mixing signal and the first dividing signal to generate a second mixing signal. The Multiplexer determines to output the first mixing signal or the second mixing signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2007Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: Alcor Micro, Corp.Inventors: Chi-Tung Chang, Chih-Hao Lai, Chieh-Tsao Hwang

Publication number: 20090061804Abstract: A frequency synthesizer applied to a digital television tuner includes: a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a phase locked loop (PLL), a frequency divider unit, and a multiplexer. The maximum oscillated frequency of the VCO is twice its minimum frequency. The PLL controls and locks the VCO output frequency by a frequency control signal. The frequency divider unit includes a plurality of first dividers which form a cascade connection. The frequency divider unit receives the VCO output frequency, and subsequently divides the output frequency one by one. The multiplexer receives the dividing signals, and then chooses one of the dividing signals by a frequency selection signal, and generates a local oscillation signal. Hence, the present invention can implement the frequency synthesizer by simple architecture and cover the frequency ranges of Digital Video Broadcasting standard.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2007Publication date: March 5, 2009Inventors: Chi-Tung Chang, Chih-Hao Lai, Chieh-Tsao Hwang
