Abstract:
A frequency modulating device includes a frequency generator for generating a frequency-modulated, first carrier and an input terminal to which a non-modulated second carrier is input. An amplifier amplifies the second carrier. A frequency converter receives the first and second carriers for producing an intermediate frequency signal and feeds the intermediate frequency signal to an output terminal. A band-pass filter limits the frequency band of the intermediate frequency signal to output a band-limited signal. A calculator calculates the spectrum distribution of the band-limited signal. The frequency generator, input terminal, amplifier, frequency converter and output terminal are included in a semiconductor device constructed on a semiconductor wafer in the form of integrated circuit.
Abstract:
For realizing a highly sensitive and favorably linear frequency modulator stably operating with a small-sized and readily manufactured arrangement, input and output strip electrodes are disposed in face on both ends of a ferri-magnetic film deposited on a magnetic substrate and applied with a DC magnetic field perpendicular thereto, a high frequency electro-magnetic wave being applied through the input electrode, so as to generate a magneto-static forward volume wave propagating through the magnetic film, the propagation phase of which is modulated in response to the intensity variation of the applied magnetic field modulated by a signal, so as to derive a frequency modulated electro-magnetic wave from the output electrode.
Abstract:
A frequency modulator utilizing a frequency synthesizer is disclosed. The modulator is especially useful in a mobile radio communication apparatus. The synthesizer includes a phase locked loop made up of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a programmable frequency divider, a phase comparator, a second frequency divider, a reference oscillator, and a low-pass filter. When a channel control signal is input to the programmable frequency divider, the modulator sensitivity of the voltage controlled oscillator is undesirably deviated according to the channel selection. An increase of the modulator sensitivity due to an increase of the oscillation frequency is compensated for by adding a simple FET to the VCO bias circuit. A control voltage from the phase locked loop is applied to both the voltage controlled oscillator and its bias circuit. The modulator can compensate for changes in sensitivity over a wider frequency bandwidth without expanding the circuit elements of the bias circuit therefore making the modulator especially useful for portable use.
Abstract:
In a modulation system responsive to a system input signal for supplying an amplifier having nonlinearities with a modulated analog signal to make the amplifier produce an amplified output signal, the system input signal conveys a baseband signal having a predetermined sampling rate for reproduction and is sampled into a sequence of sampled signals having a specific rate higher than the predetermined sampling rate. The sampled signal sequence is converted by a random access memory into a sequence of predistorted signals which compensate for the nonlinearities and which are modulated into the modulated analog signal. Each predistorted signal is adaptively modified at the specific rate with reference to the sampled signals and an additional input signal derived from the amplified output signal. When the sampled signal sequence is sampled at the predetermined sampling rate, the predistorted signal sequence may be produced by interpolating each of the sampled signals at the specific rate. The baseband signal may be either a digital signal or an analog one.
