Title: Method and apparatus for generating a modulated radio frequency output signal
Inventor: WILSON MARTIN
IPC: H04L27/12
Filed: 1999-09-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a modulated RF output signal, the apparatus comprising a phase lock loop and a delta sigma modulator 24. Subsidiary analogue modulation 14, aligned to match up with the delta sigma modulation, restricts the bandwidth of the PLL. Alignment of the modulation is accomplished by correction of the sensitivity of the PLL voltage controlled oscillator 7 to modulation by correlating residual modulation in the PLL with the modulated signal input. The modulation correlator 29 trims the modulation and the PLL bandwidth without disturbing the normal operation of the transmitter, this allows the use of modulation bandwidths greater than the PLL bandwidth.
