    摘要: A signal generation apparatus includes a signal generation portion and a phase compensator. The phase compensator generates a phase error control signal that maintains a phase difference between the in-phase and quadrature-phase signals generated by the signal generation portion. The phase compensator includes an offset compensator and a delay compensator. The offset compensator is set to compensate for an offset voltage through the phase compensator. The delay compensator is set to compensate for a difference of delays through paths for the in-phase and quadrature-phase signals within the phase compensator.

The power controlling apparatus includes a pulse generating module, a combinational circuit, and M controlling modules. The pulse generating module generates a pulse. The combinational circuit receives the pulse and generates M controlling signals. Each controlling signal has a predetermined phase which is different from the phase of the other controlling signal. The M controlling modules are electrically connected to the combinational circuit. Each of the M controlling signals corresponds to and activates one of the M controlling modules to selectively power on one corresponding region of the M regions. The cells in the corresponding region which is powered have an action potential refractory time that is longer than the power-on interval of the corresponding region.

    摘要: The invention relates to the generation of an electric output signal with a specified frequency and a phase (P) dependent upon a control signal (x) by means of weighted superposition of several input signals (s1, s2, s1*, s2*), which have the specified frequency but different input signals phases, whereby the weighted superposition is applied to a parallel switching of adjustable transconductance stages which are each adjusted by the control signal (x) and to each of which one of the input signals (s1, s2, s1*, s2*) is supplied. In order to be able to use this so-called phase interpolation to meet higher linearity requirements, the invention provides that for the generation of the output signal with a phase which lies between a first input signal phase (0°) of a first input signal (s1) and a second input signal phase (120°) of a second input signal (s2) which second phase is larger by a phase difference (120°), the first input signal (s1) and the second input signal (s2) and two further input signals (s1*1, s2*1 and S1*2, s2*2 resp.) are superimposed in a weighted fashion, whereby the two further input signals (s1*1, s2*1 and S1*2, s2*2 resp.) have phases different by the phase difference (120°) and are phase-shifted by one half (60°) of the phase difference with regard to the first and second input signals (s1, s2).

    摘要: Clock generator embodiments are provided to generate half-rate I and Q clock signals. The generators are configured to insure fan-out limitations, to insure correct phasing at startup, to reduce the number of signal inverters in a critical path, and to reduce the total number of inverter structures to thereby substantially extend generator operational frequency. An exemplary generator embodiment requires only two tri-state inverters and four inverters. These clock generators are particularly suited for variety of electronic systems such as high speed data serializers.

    摘要: A quadrature modulator divides a first signal input as a local signal into an I channel signal and a Q channel signal orthogonal to each other and outputs a second signal having a desired phase delay corresponding to direct current voltages as for the first signal by giving the direct current voltages Vi and Vq to the I channel signal and the Q channel signal, respectively. A phase comparison unit detects a phase difference θ between the first signal and the second signal. A setting unit sets the desired phase delay. A controller section controls the direct current voltages supplied to the I channel signal and the Q channel signal respectively in the quadrature modulator so that an output value corresponding to the phase difference θ detected by the phase comparison unit is equal to a value corresponding to the desired phase delay set by the setting unit, and controls the direct current voltages to be the direct current voltages Vi and Vq satisfying the relation of Vi=cos θ and Vq=sin θ.

    摘要: A phase shift circuit that includes two, rather than four, delay chains and corresponding selectors is described. This provides a significant area savings and reduces the intrinsic delay of the phase shift circuit, which is particularly beneficial for embodiments in which there is no intrinsic delay matching. In one specific implementation, the phase shift circuit includes a first delay circuit and a matching delay circuit. The first delay circuit provides a first delay that includes a first intrinsic delay and a first intentional delay. The delay matching circuit provides a matching delay that matches the first intrinsic delay. In one specific implementation, the phase shift circuit also includes a second delay circuit to provide a second delay that includes a second intrinsic delay and second intentional delay, where the second intrinsic delay matches the first intrinsic delay and the second intentional delay is half as long as the first intentional delay. Matching the intrinsic delay of the first delay circuit allows for comparing its output against a delayed version of the input signal, rather than the input signal. As a result, Fmax, the maximum frequency of the input signal at which the phase shift circuit may operate, is not limited by the intrinsic delay or by Fmin, the minimum frequency of the input signal at which the phase shift circuit may operate.

    摘要: A broad frequency range phase shift circuit is responsive to a radio-frequency signal generated by a radio-frequency source and generates a lagging phase signal and a leading phase signal, 90° out of phase with the lagging phase signal, corresponding to the radio-frequency signal. An operational amplifier has a signal input that receives the radio-frequency signal from the radio-frequency source and generates a low impedance amplified output signal. A series resonant circuit receives the amplified signal from the operational amplifier and shifts the phase of the amplified signal in an amount that approaches 90° as the amplified signal frequency approaches DC to 0° as the amplified signal frequency increases to the cut-off frequency. A transmission line receives the amplified signal from the operational amplifier and has an electrical length substantially equal to one-fourth of a wavelength corresponding to the cut-off frequency.
