The technical field to which the invention relates.

The present invention relates to communications systems. Specifically, the present invention relates to transceivers used in communication networks.

The level of technology

Cellular communication system are many mobile transceiver that communicates with one or more base stations. Each transceiver contains a transmitter and receiver.

In a typical transceiver input analog radio frequency (RF) signal, the adopted antenna, convert the downconverter RF section into a signal of intermediate frequency (if). The signal processing unit performs the filtering of noise and adjusts the amplitude of the signal through the analog circuit of the automatic gain control (AGC). Section FC then carry out the conversion signal with decreasing frequency to baseband signal and converts the analog signal into a digital signal. The digital signal is then fed to a processor baseband signals for further signal processing to obtain speech signals or data.

Similarly, the transmitter accepts digital input signal from the processor baseband signal and converts the input signal into an analog signal. This signal is then filtered and transform with increasing frequency in the cascade inverter in the signal between the exact frequency. Regulate the amplification of the transmitted signal and the if signal transform with increasing frequency in the RF signal in preparation for the broadcast.

In the transmitting and receiving sections of the gain control signal and the frequency conversion is usually performed in the analog form. This requires multiple local oscillators (GT) to convert the signal with decreasing frequency, transform with increasing frequency and mixing (conversion). Analog oscillators are large and require the use of one or more circuits phase-locked loop. As is known, the circuit phase-locked loop are large, expensive schemes that consume significant power. Therefore, the use of circuits phase-locked loop (PLL) increases the cost, size and power consumption of analog oscillators and transceivers, in which these schemes are used.

Therefore, there is a need for cost-effective, dimensions of the transceiver with low noise performance and minimum power consumption.

The invention

The need is met by the transceiver in accordance with the present invention. The proposed transceiver contains digital circuitry for converting baseband signals in the s intermediate frequency. The source generates a first periodic signal with the first frequency. Direct digital synthesizer receives a second periodic signal of a second frequency of the first periodic reference signal. Converter circuit with increasing frequency in digital form transforms with increasing frequency modulating signals to digital intermediate frequency signals using the second periodic signal. D / a Converter converts the digital intermediate frequency signals into an analog intermediate frequency signals using the first periodic signal.

In a variant implementation of the transceiver digital circuit converts with increasing frequency of the first signal of the first frequency signal with the second frequency in response to the second periodic signal and, in addition, in response produces a digital signal. The second scheme is designed to convert digital transmitted signal into an analog signal. Diagram of transmission and reception are intended for transmission of analog transmitted signal and receiving an analog received signal, respectively.

In a specific embodiment, the analog received signal in a digital form transform with decreasing frequency to generate a digital received signal in response to the second if the second signal. An important feature of the invention consists in the issuance of the first and second periodic signals only lo. Direct digital synthesizer is designed to generate one of the reference signals from the output signal of the local oscillator.

The scheme of transfer contains Delta-Sigma d / a Converter, which includes a first periodic signal as an input. Delta-Sigma d / a Converter has a digital to analog Converter least significant bits and the Delta-Sigma modulator.

In the illustrated embodiment, digital to analog Converter least significant bits is a one-bit digital to analog Converter, Delta-Sigma modulator Delta-Sigma modulator of the sixth order. Delta-Sigma modulator includes amplifiers with approximately the following gains: 3/2, -3/4, 1/8.

The circuit contains a digital transmission scheme of automatic gain control for adjusting the gain of the first signal. The output signal circuit of the automatic gain control serves to the input of the Delta-Sigma digital to analogue Converter. Also in the transmission scheme included a digital lowpass filter, a digital frequency Converter and a digital adder. The output signal of the digital adder is fed to the input circuits of an automatic adjustment pileni is.

New design of the present invention is lightweight due to the elimination of the local oscillator using a direct digital synthesizer and a Delta-Sigma digital to analogue Converter. Eliminating the lo achieve economies of power and size.

A detailed description of the preferred embodiments

Although the present invention is described with reference to exemplifying embodiments of for particular applications, it should be clear that the invention is not limited. Specialists in this field of technology are obvious additional modifications, applications and embodiments of its volume and additional areas in which the present invention may be useful.

Following an overview of the typical transceiver is designed to facilitate understanding of the present invention.

Figure 1 depicts a block diagram of a known transceiver 20. The transceiver 20 is a telecommunication transceiver, double-conversion and includes an antenna 21 for receiving and transmitting RF signals. The antenna switch 22 associated with the antenna 21, facilitates the separation of the received RF signals 24 from the transmitted RF signals 26.

The received RF signal 24 is fed to the regimen, which contains the amplifier 28 received RF signals, the transmitter 30 of the RF frequency in the if band-pass filter 32 received signals, analog automatic gain control (AGC) 34 received signals and analog circuit 36 conversion frequencies in the modulating signals. The received RF signals 24 reinforce the amplifier 28 of the received signal converted into the intermediate frequency signals by the inverter 30 frequency RF-to-if filter bandpass filter 32 received signals, regulate the gain of the AGC circuit 34 of the received signals are then converted into digital baseband signals 48 through circuit 36 for converting analog signals of the inverter-in-modulating signals. Digital modulating signal 48 is then applied to the input of the digital processor 46 modulating signal is.

The transmitted RF signals 26 received on the antenna switch 22 from the transmission schemes, which contains the RF amplifier 38 of transmitted signals, the Converter 40 frequency frequencies in the RF band-pass filter 42 of transmitted signals and analog circuit 44 convert the baseband signals in the inverter. Output signals 50 digital processor baseband signals accepted analog circuit 44 convert the baseband signals in the inverter, in which they are converted into analog signals, convert the signals of the inverter, which are then subjected to filtering bandpass filter 42 of transmitted signals, carry out the conversion with increasing frequency to RF using a Converter 40 of the intermediate frequency-to-RF, increase the amplifier 38 of transmitted signals and then transmit through the antenna switch 22 and antenna 21.

Diagram of transmission and reception associated with the digital processor 46 baseband signals, which processes the received digital baseband signals 48 and generates output signals 50 digital baseband processor. The processor 46 of the modulating signals may contain functions such as converting the signal into voice data and/or Vice versa.

Output signals 50 processor baseband signals do not match in phase by 90° in relation to each other and correspond to in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) is ignall. Output signals 50 serves to the input of digital to analog converters (PAP) 52 in the analog circuit 44 convert the baseband signals in the inverter, in which they are converted into analog signals, which are then filtered by filters 54 of the lower frequencies in preparation for the frequency conversion. Phase adjust signals, converts the frequency and summed by block 56 Phaser 90°, converters 58 frequency of the modulating signal in the inverter and adder 60, respectively. The adder 60 generates signals 62 of the inverter, which is fed to the input of the analog circuit 64 automatic gain control (AGC) of transmitted signals, in which the amplification of the converted signal 62 FC regulate in preparation for filtering by a bandpass filter 42 of transmitted signals, carry out the conversion with increasing frequency to RF by the inverter 40 of the intermediate frequency in the transmitted signals, amplify through amplifier 38 of transmitted signals and, finally, are broadcast through the antenna switch 22 and antenna 21.

DAC 52 in the circuit 44 converting baseband signals-in-FC-takeroot first local oscillator (GT) 66. The sampling frequency of the DAC 52 is determined by the frequency of the local oscillator 66. The local oscillator 66 also generates a clock signal in analog circuit 36 conversion of the if signal at the modulating signals, the which uses analog-to-digital converters (ADC) 68 in the analog circuit 36 conversion of the if signal in the baseband signals.

The second lo (GT) 70 is required for frequency converters 58 in the circuit 44 convert the analog baseband signals in the inverter. The second local oscillator 70 generates a clock signal having a frequency different from the frequency of the output signal of the first local oscillator 66. Typically, the second local oscillator 70 operates at a much higher frequency than the first local oscillator 66.

The third local oscillator 72 is required for the operation of the Converter 30 frequency frequency-FC of the received signals of the inverter 40 of the intermediate frequency in the RF transmitted signals. Usually the same local oscillator 72 is used for both of the inverters 30, 40 frequency.

The fourth local oscillator 73 is used for the analog circuit 75 conversion in the analog circuit 36 conversion of the if signal in the baseband signals to facilitate conversion of the if signal in the baseband signals, perform analog circuit 75 conversion.

All the oscillators 66, 70, 72, 73 require one or more circuits phase-locked loop (PLL). PLLs are typically large analog circuits, which consume excessive power.

Design limitations transceiver 20 limit the degree of signal processing that can be performed in digital form, and require the use of additional large consuming significant power analog with the eat, for example, local oscillators and analog AGC circuits. For example, there are multi-bit DAC 52 before converting the analog signal and filtering performed by the circuit 44 convert the baseband signals in the inverter. This is partly due to the fact that the DAC 52 will generate excessive noise, if they will be included after the translation scheme. That's why the signals 62 FC are more high-frequency signals, which increases the parasitic pulses of the Converter, whereby increases noise. Noise is usually located in the frequency band and is difficult to be filtered by conventional means.

As d / a conversion must take place before converting baseband signals-in-FC-using circuit 44, the circuit 44 convert the baseband signals in the inverter must be carried out in analog form. Analog converters 58 frequency filters 54, adder 60 and the analog AGC circuit 64 are much larger and consume more power than their digital equivalents. In addition, the inconsistency because of the low-precision analog circuitry causes a spurious signal of the local oscillator 70, which may not be filtered used in practice means.

In addition, the design of the transceiver 20 requires the use of at least Proc. of the x oscillators, that is, the first local oscillator 66, the second local oscillator 70 and the third local oscillator 72. The local oscillators 66, 70 and 72 contain large, inefficient power analog PLL.

Figure 2 depicts a block diagram of the transceiver 80, created in accordance with the present invention. The transceiver 80 uses Delta-Sigma (Δ∑) digital to analogue Converter (DAC) 82 and a direct digital synthesizer (PDB) 84. The transceiver 80 analog circuit 44 convert the baseband signals in the inverter shown in figure 1, and analog circuit 36 conversion if-to-baseband signals, depicted in figure 1, replaced, reconstructed scheme 86 converting baseband signals in the inverter and the reconstructed scheme 88 conversion if-to-baseband signals, respectively. Replacement eliminates the need for the second local oscillator 70, depicted in figure 1, significantly reducing power consumption and dimensions of the transceiver.

Δ∑ DAC 82 may convert digital signals to the inverter analog signals without the problems associated with spurious noise multibit DAC. Using Δ∑ DAC 82, converting baseband signals in the inverter can be performed in digital form, thus eliminating spurious signal generator.

Digital circuit 86 converting baseband signals in the if the content is it the first digital filter 90 of the lower frequencies and the second digital filter 92 of the lower frequencies, which filter out unwanted signals such as noise, quadrature (Q) 94 and in-phase (I) 96 signals received from the processor 46 of the modulating signals, respectively. The filtered in-phase signals fed to the input of the first digital Converter 98 frequency, while the filtered quadrature signals fed to the input of the second digital Converter 100 frequency. The first inverter 98 frequency takeroot clock signal 102 from PDB scheme PDB 84. The signal 102 PDB shift the phase by 90° digital phase shifter 106, receiving the shifted clock signal 104. Takirua converters 98, 100 frequency clock signals that differ in phase by 90°the signals I and Q coordinates in phase. Converters 98, 100 frequency transform signals I and Q signals of the inverter, which combine through a digital adder 108. The summed signals of the inverter is then applied to digital circuitry 110 AGC, the construction of which is known. Digital circuit 110 AGC adjusts the gain of signals of the inverter and outputs these signals to Δ∑ DAC 82. Δ∑ DAC 82 converts these signals into analog signals in preparation for further filtering of the bandpass filter 42, the conversion frequency to radio spectrum Converter 40 frequency, the gain of the amplifier 38 and passing through the antenna switch 22 and EN is Anno 21.

Δ∑ DAC 82 uses the signal 112 lo, formed only by the local oscillator 114 to control a single-bit DAC included in Δ∑ DAC 82 (as described in more detail below). Signal 112 of the local oscillator is also used as a signal of frequency control to control PDB 84, which synthesizes the clock signal 102 PDB. The clock signal 102 PDB has a frequency different from the frequency signal 112 lo.

PDB 84 receives the digitized sinusoidal signal corresponding to the clock signal 102 from signal 112 lo, accumulating the phase increment of the digital sinusoidal signal 102 at a higher frequency signal 112 lo. The accumulated phase is converted into a digitized sinusoidal signal 102 by means of a lookup table (not shown). Digitized sinusoidal signal 102 is used as a reference frequency converters 98, 100 frequency to convert the baseband signals 94, 96 in the system.

Design PDB 84 known and described in U.S. patent No. 4965533 (Direct Digital Synthesizer Driven Phase Lock Loop Frequency Synthesizer). Direct digital synthesizer driven by the frequency synthesizer circuit of the phase locked loop.

Specialists in the art it is clear that PDB 84 may be implemented as programmable PDB whose output clock signal 102 is adjusted in response to a transmission error or is of Riem due care lo frequency and/or other related errors. Such measurement errors can be detected by logic circuits in the processor 46 of the modulating signals, or by using additional schemes for error detection (not shown).

Using PDB 84 for forming the clock signal 102 PDB eliminates the need for additional local oscillator with an additional PLL. PDB 84 much less local oscillator and PLL and can be easily implemented in a compact scheme with a high degree of integration (SUISSE) along with a digital converters 98, 100 frequency filters 90, 92, the adder 108, the circuit AGC 110 and Δ∑ DAC 82. In addition, PDB 84 consumes relatively low power. The use of low-noise Δ∑ DAC 82 eliminates the need for additional multi-bit DAC, which is required in the transceiver 20, depicted in figure 1.

A separate local oscillator 70 PLL (Fig 1 and 2)required in the conventional transceiver 20 for converting the baseband signals in the inverter, replaced transceiver 80 of the present invention digital PDB 84. Performance schema 44 convert the baseband signals in the inverter shown in figure 1, is improved in accordance with the present invention. In the present invention, the analog processing functions are implemented in digital circuits, and giving spurious signals multibit DAC 52 replacing the s single-bit Delta-Sigma DAC 82.

In this particular embodiment, the signal 112 lo is also used for clocking digital circuit 88 conversion if-to-baseband signals in the regimen. In this particular embodiment, a digital circuit 88 conversion if-to-baseband signals contains fast Δ∑ analog-to-digital Converter (ADC) 116, a digital circuit 117 frequency conversion and frequency multiplier for frequency conversion signal 112 of the second local oscillator frequency for use in Δ∑ ADC 116. Design Δ∑ ADC, digital circuits frequency conversion and frequency multipliers are known from the prior art.

In the present embodiment, the frequency multiplier 119 divides the frequency (Fs) signal 112 lo four and outputs the received lo signal with the divided frequency as the clock signal for one-bit ADC (not shown)included in the Δ∑ ADC 116.

Signal 112 of the local oscillator provides the reference frequency for digital circuit 117 frequency Converter for use in digital circuit 117 of the frequency Converter to convert with decreasing frequency digital output signals of the inverter from Δ∑ ADC 116 modulating signals 48.

Specialist in the art it is clear that digital conversion function with decreasing frequency, are performed cifrovoy scheme 88 conversion if-to-baseband signals, can be carried out in a manner analogous to the conversion functions with increasing frequency, are performed in the digital circuit 86 converting baseband signals in the inverter. Also analog circuit 34 AGC can be implemented in a digital AGC circuit after Δ∑ ADC 116 in the digital circuit 88 conversion if-to-baseband signals.

Design regimens can be carried out in accordance with the patent application U.S. No. 08/987306 of 9 December 1997 (Receiver With Delta-Sigma Analog-To-Digital Converter. Receiver with Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital Converter).

Specialist in the art it is obvious that a digital circuit 86 converting the if-to-baseband signals may be replaced by another version, such as analog circuit 36 conversion if-to-baseband signals, depicted in figure 1, without deviation from the scope of the present invention. Circuit 84 PDB digital circuit 86 converting baseband signals in the inverter can be implemented in scheme 88 conversion if-to-baseband signals in addition to or instead of the implementation of the digital circuit 86 converting baseband signals in the inverter. That is, the output signal 102 PDB can be used by mapping with decreasing frequency and/or analog-to-digital converters in the circuit 88 conversion if-to-baseband signals. In addition, the circuit 110 AGC can the be implemented in analog form after Δ ∑ DAC 82 without deviation from the scope of the present invention.

On one of the amplifiers 130 serves an input signal digital block 128 delays the input signal is also input to another amplifier 130. This input signal to form a digital block 128 delay in subsequent resonator 124 or, in the case of the output of the main unit 124, it is shaped noise output signal 127 from Δ∑ modulator 82.
