The present invention is directed to a system and method of remotely controlling a welding machine with command signals transmitted to the welding power source across a weld cable connecting the power source to a remote device, such a wire feeder. A transmitter transmits the control commands containing desired welding operational parameters to a receiver disposed in the power source across a weld cable also designed to carry welding power from the power source to the wire feeder.

Described herein is a wireless transceiver and related method that enables ultra low power transmission and reception of wireless communications. In an example embodiment of the wireless transceiver, the wireless transceiver receives a first-reference signal having a first-reference frequency. The wireless transceiver then uses the first-reference signal to injection lock a local oscillator, which provides a set of oscillation signals each having an oscillation frequency that is equal to the first-reference frequency, and each having equally spaced phases. Then the wireless transceiver combines the set of oscillation signals into an output signal having an output frequency that is one of (i) a multiple of the first-reference frequency (in accordance with a transmitter implementation) or (ii) a difference of (a) a second-reference frequency of a second-reference signal and (b) a multiple of the first-reference frequency (in accordance with a receiver implementation).

A parametric audio system that permits greater control over the bandwidth of a modulated signal. The system includes a carrier signal generator for generating a carrier signal, at least one audio signal source for generating at least one audio signal, and a modulation component for generating an envelope signal based on the at least one audio signal, modulating the phase of the carrier signal based on a predetermined function to generate a first modulated signal, and multiplying the envelope signal and the first modulated signal to generate a second modulated signal. By selection of the predetermined function, the modulation component can alter the spectrum of the second modulated signal, thereby permitting greater control over the bandwidth of the second modulated signal.

A RF digital to analog converter has a first capacitor arrangement, a first common node, and a first controller. The first capacitor arrangement has multiple switchable capacitor paths arranged in parallel. Respective switchable capacitor paths have a switchable element and a capacitor coupled in series. The first common node is connected to the multiple switchable capacitor paths. The first controller receives a baseband signal having an in-phase component and a quadrature component, and a local oscillator (LO) signal having an in-phase LO signal and a quadrature LO signal. The first controller combines the in-phase component and the in-phase LO signal to obtain a first in-phase modulation signal and combines the quadrature component and the quadrature LO signal to obtain a first quadrature modulation signal. The first controller controls the multiple switchable capacitor paths of the first capacitor arrangement with the first in-phase modulation signal and/or the first quadrature modulation signal.

摘要:
An integrated circuit device has a modulator module that provides a modulation signal comprising one frequency keyed on and off, or alternating between two or more different frequencies or phases that are selected based upon a modulator signal. The one or more frequencies or phases may be selected from a plurality of frequency sources. Switching the one frequency on or off, or between the at least two different frequencies or phases may be synchronized with one or both of the two or more different frequencies or phases so that “glitches” or spurs are not introduced into the modulation signal. The integrated circuit device may also comprise a processor, memory, digital logic and input-output. Frequency sources may be internal to the digital device or external. The modulator signal may comprise serial data generated from the digital logic and/or processor of the digital device.

An apparatus for providing an angle modulated signal includes a tunable oscillator circuit, a variable time delay circuit, and an optional scaling and delay control apparatus. The tunable oscillator circuit generates an oscillatory signal having a predetermined frequency. The variable time delay circuit operates to delay the oscillatory signal in accordance with time varying changes in an angle control signal, thereby producing the desired angle modulated signal. The scaling and delay control apparatus is configured to scale the angle control signal to account for frequency dependent phase delays of the oscillatory signal through the variable time delay circuit. The methods and apparatus of the present invention may be advantageously used in RF transmitters and receivers, such as in a polar transmitter, where the oscillatory signal generated by the tunable oscillator apparatus serves as a carrier signal, and the angle control signal used to control the delay of the variable time delay circuit comprises a phase modulation signal from the phase path of the polar transmitter.
摘要:
Method for modulating an RF signal includes the steps of modulating an RF signal using frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation to define a plurality of symbols (2030, 2031). The FSK modulation includes transitioning the modulated signal (204) between at least two different frequencies (f1 and f0) during a guard period (210). The method includes the further step of varying a frequency of the modulated signal 204 during the guard period (210) in accordance with a predetermined rate of change. The predetermined rate of change is selected to minimize a bandwidth of the RF signal.
