Patent number: 8332450Abstract: A method of computing a vector angle by using a CORDIC and an electronic apparatus using the same are disclosed. The electronic apparatus mainly includes a phase error detector, a loop filter, a small-area iteration LUT module and a phase compensation circuit. The phase error can be locked by using the error function in the phase error detector, and even the phase error can be locked to the minimum so that the error oscillates up-and-down about the zero level. The first transfer function in the loop filter can determine the baseband and the converging speed. Moreover, if the shifting technique is used, the operation of the first transfer function is speeded up. By using a phase-locking loop in association with looking up the above-mentioned LUT, the method is able to get fast converging and higher accuracy for the computation.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventor: Ming-Ho Lu
