    Abstract: A precision timing generator and an associate method provide a precise clock signal based on a reference clock signal. Using the reference clock signal in a phase locked loop or delay locked loop, a number of clock signals of equal frequency are generated separated consecutively by a known phase. Two of these clock signals of consecutive phases are selected for interpolation for higher precision according to predetermined weights. The resulting interpolated clock signal has a phase offset that is intermediate between the selected clock signals in proportion to the predetermined weights. In one implementation, a second interpolated clock signal is created by selecting and weighting a second group of clock signals using independent selection and weights. The two interpolated clock signals are then combined by logic operations to provide a precise clock signal of predetermined duty cycle and phase.

    Abstract: A technique of processing an input signal having an input signal phase is disclosed. The technique includes determining a number of transitions of the input signal within a period having a start and an end. The technique includes determining a relative beginning phase of the input signal at the start of the period, which includes generating a first reference signal having a first reference signal frequency and a first reference signal phase synchronized with the start of the period, and detecting a first time interval required for the input signal phase to have a first specified relationship to the first reference signal phase. The technique includes similarly determining a relative ending phase of the input signal at the end of the period. The technique includes determining an input signal temporal characteristic from the number of transitions and the relative beginning phase and the relative ending phase.

    Abstract: The present invention, generally speaking, provides for control of a modulator, such as a polar modulator or conventional linear modulator, to produce high quality RF signals that ramp quickly from a condition of minimal output power to a condition of information-bearing modulation at a specified output power and back down to the condition of minimal output power. Using a polar modulator, for example, it is theoretically possible to perform ramping without degrading the transient measurements beyond the degradation caused by the information-bearing modulation itself. This ideal can be closely approached in practice. Such ramping can be achieved without the need for extensive unit-by-unit calibration on the manufacturing line.
