  • Patent number: 8947172
    Abstract: A frequency modulating path for generating a frequency modulated clock includes a direct feed input arranged for directly modulating frequency of an oscillator, and a compensating feed input arranged for compensating effects of frequency modulating on a phase error; wherein the compensating feed input is resampled by a down-divided clock that is an integer edge division of the oscillator. A reference phase generator for generating a reference phase output includes a resampling circuit, an accumulator and a sampler. The resampling circuit is for resampling a modulating frequency command word (FCW) input to produce a plurality of samples. The accumulator is for accumulating the samples to generate an accumulated result. The sampler is for sampling the accumulated result according to a frequency reference clock, and accordingly generating a sampled result, wherein the reference phase output is updated according to at least the sampled result.

  • Patent number: 8804874
    Abstract: A polar transmitter includes a frequency modulating path, a clock divider and a digital processing block. The frequency modulating path is arranged for generating a frequency modulated clock in response to a frequency modulating signal. The clock divider is coupled to the frequency modulated clock, and arranged for generating a down-divided clock. The digital processing block is coupled to the down-divided clock, and arranged for generating the frequency modulating signal, wherein the frequency modulating signal is adjusted for frequency deviation of the frequency modulated clock. A method for polar transmission includes: generating a frequency modulated clock in response to a frequency modulating signal; dividing a frequency of said frequency modulated clock to generate a down-divided clock; and generating said frequency modulating signal according to said down-divided clock, wherein said frequency modulating signal is adjusted for frequency deviation of said frequency modulated clock.

  • Patent number: 8660209
    Abstract: A transmitter is provided. The transmitter includes a phase/frequency deviation input, a controller and a frequency modulating path. The phase/frequency deviation input receives multiple phase/frequency deviation samples. The controller outputs a modified phase/frequency deviation signal and generates a phase/frequency deviation carry-out signal in response to the phase/frequency deviation samples and a previous time sample of the phase/frequency deviation carry-out signal. The frequency modulating path performs frequency modulation in response to the modified phase/frequency deviation signal and outputs a frequency modulated carrier signal.
