Patent number: 8648625Abstract: There is provided a frequency synthesizer capable of improving phase noise. A sinusoidal signal with a frequency set by a frequency setting part is output as a digital signal from a set signal output part, and the digital signal is D/A-converted. A difference between a sinusoidal signal with a frequency corresponding to an output frequency of a voltage controlled oscillating part and a sinusoidal signal output from a D/A converting part is amplified by a differential amplifier, and an amplified signal is input via an A/D converting part to a means for extracting a phase difference between the aforesaid sinusoidal signals. A voltage corresponding to a signal being the result of integration of the phase difference is input as a control voltage to the voltage controlled oscillating part. Then, a gain of the differential amplifier is set larger than a maximum value of phase noise degradation of the A/D converting part, whereby the phase noise degradation of the A/D converting part is cancelled.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2010Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Nihon Dempa Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuo Akaike, Nobuo Tsukamoto, Tsukasa Kobata

Patent number: 8090004Abstract: Provided is a high frequency radio apparatus for correcting a frequency of a carrier of the own apparatus in accordance with a frequency of a reception carrier when performing spread spectrum communication using very weak power. A carrier demodulating part demodulates a spread code received from a communication counterpart radio apparatus by using default carrier data, and sends the demodulated spread code to a synchronization timing detecting part. When the synchronization timing detecting part detects the spread code from the carrier demodulated data, a carrier frequency deviation detecting part performs a frequency analysis of the spread code to detect a deviation amount of the carrier frequency. A carrier data generating part generates corrected carrier data based on the detected deviation amount. A DBPSK modulating part uses the corrected carrier data to perform data transmission to the communication counterpart radio apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2006Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Nihon Dempa Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kaoru Kobayashi, Nobuo Tsukamoto
