  • Patent number: 6075474
    Abstract: A device for the generation of analog signals by means of analog-digital converters comprises a block for the generation of words encoded on N bits and an analog-digital converter whose input is encoded on M bits, M being smaller than N. The device furthermore comprises a sigma-delta modulator, at the output of the first block, the bus being separated into M most significant bits reserved for the input of the analog-digital converter and N-M least significant bits that enter the sigma-delta modulator, the output of this modulator being an M-bit bus that is added to the M output bits of the word generation block by digital addition means, M being smaller than N.

  • Patent number: 5729182
    Abstract: Device for continuous phase modulation, produced from a frequency synthesizer including a variable oscillator and a phase-locked loop with, in series, a frequency division circuit, a phase comparator and a low-pass filter. In order to reduce modulation in the loop, the modulation is applied not only to the input of the synthesizer but also, in compensation, in the loop. In order to eliminate the modulation residue in the loop, a control signal for the oscillator is derived by a circuit which performs a correlation between the residue of the modulation and the output signal from a filter producing the same filtering effect as the loop, and which receives the modulation signal from the input of the synthesizer.
