Abstract: Bei einem Verfahren zur digitalen Datenübertragung über ein bestimmtes möglichst schmalbandiges Frequenzband mithilfe von Phasenmodulation eines seriellen Datenstromes, vorzugsweise in NRZ-(Non-Return-to-Zero) oder differentieller NRZI (Non-Return-to-Zero, Invert on Ones) Kodierung dient ein Datenstromteiler der Erzeugung zweier Sekundär-Datenströme aus einem Primärdatenstrom. Durch Modulation auf zwei Teilfrequenzbänder unterhalb und oberhalb der zugeordneten Zentralfrequenz entsteht ein kombiniertes Frequenzband mit einer fiktiven (nicht vorhandenen oder primär nur zur Modulation genutzten) Trägerfrequenz und einem unterem Seitenband und einem oberen Seitenband. 
     Die gebildete Frequenzlücke (Notch) bietet Vorteile gegenüber den gegenwärtigen Methoden bei nahezu gleichem Bandbreitebedarf wie bei bestehenden Verfahren. 
     Das Verfahren eliminiert die Nachteile der bestehenden Übertragungsverfahren ohne auf die entwickelten Basistechnologien vollständig verzichten zu müssen, dadurch kann eine Schaltungsintegration in monolithische Halbleiter mit äußerst geringen Qualitätskompromisse und ohne externe Komponenten erreicht werden, wodurch kleinste Übertragungsgeräte zu geringeren Produktionskosten erzielbar sind.

Abstract: A delay-locked loop (DLL) circuit has a reference signal input for a receiving a periodic reference signal and a number of signal outputs for outputting respective output signals derived from the reference signal and having a desired phase relationship with one another. The DLL circuit comprises a voltage controlled delay line (VCDL) comprising a plurality of identical delay stages connected in series, and a feedback loop including a phase comparator for controlling the VCDL such that the total delay over a number of stages matches the period of the periodic reference signal. Signal outputs are connected to derive their respective output signals from respective nodes within said delay line. The phase comparator compares the phase of first and second differently delayed versions of the reference signal from respective nodes within the variable delay line separated only by a plurality of identical delay stages. Duty cycle distortion is minimised as a result. Start-up control circuitry is arranged (i) to minimise the delay of the variable delay line prior to starting operation and (ii) to cause said phase comparator to ignore a first transition in one signal, in determining the relative order of transitions in the compared signals. False locking and harmonic locking are thus eliminated while permitting a very wide range of input frequencies.
