Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article relates to but is not limited to integrated circuit technology, and in particular to a phase-locked loop, a signal processing device, and a signal processing method. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the continuous advancement of wireless communication technology has placed increasingly higher requirements on the phase noise of the frequency sources used. Lower phase noise often requires higher power consumption. In the design of phase-locked loops (PLLs), the balance between phase noise and power consumption has become an increasingly important issue.

[0003] The phase noise of a phase-locked loop can be roughly divided into two parts: in-band and out-of-band. Among them, the out-of-band phase noise is mainly determined by the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), and the in-band phase noise is mainly determined by the reference clock. In order to minimize the phase noise of the phase-locked loop, the bandwidth of the phase-locked loop is generally adjusted to balance the ratio of in-band phase noise and out-of-band phase noise. The modulation result is generally that the contribution ratio of in-band phase noise and out-of-band phase noise to the total noise is roughly the same. In related technologies, the theoretical limit (lower limit) of in-band phase noise is reference clock noise + log(N div )dBc / Hz; where N div This value represents the ratio of the phase-locked loop (PLL) output frequency to the reference clock frequency; dBc is the difference in decibels (dB) between the power at that frequency and the power at the reference clock. To reduce the phase noise of the PLL, a smaller bandwidth is required to reduce the in-band phase noise contributed by the reference clock. This leads to the need for a lower-noise VCO to avoid excessive out-of-band phase noise. In VCO design, phase noise and power consumption are traded off: achieving lower phase noise requires more power.

[0004] In summary, due to the limitation of the in-band phase noise of the reference clock, the phase noise and power consumption of the phase-locked loop are difficult to further modulate and optimize. Summary of the Invention

[0052] It should be noted that the output voltage signal in the initial stage of the embodiment of the present invention can be set to 0; other auxiliary circuits are included, and other voltage signals provided by the auxiliary circuits can also be output with reference to related technologies.

[0053] The embodiment of the present invention determines multiple error signals through two or more reference clock signals and achieves phase domain averaging of the reference clock noise of the phase-locked loop by weighting the error signals, thereby avoiding the influence of the in-band phase noise of the reference clock on the power consumption of the phase-locked loop and reducing the power consumption of the phase-locked loop.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the phase-locked loop of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a filter, which is configured as follows:

[0055] The weighted error signal obtained by the weighting unit is filtered.

[0056] It should be noted that the error signal in the embodiment of the present invention is of the same type as the signal output by the phase detector in the related art, and can be a digital signal or a voltage signal.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the reference clock unit of the embodiment of the present invention includes two or more first crystal oscillators; wherein,

[0058] The first crystal oscillator is configured to output a reference clock signal.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the reference clock unit of the embodiment of the present invention includes: a synchronization circuit for synchronizing a reference clock signal.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the synchronization circuit of the embodiment of the present invention can be designed and implemented with reference to related technologies, which will not be described in detail here.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention numbers two first crystal oscillators, namely, first crystal oscillator 1, first crystal oscillator 2, first crystal oscillator 3, ..., first crystal oscillator n. After determining the reference clock signal of first crystal oscillator 1 as the standard reference clock, a group of phase detectors and filters for synchronizing the reference clock signal are connected to the output end of first crystal oscillator 1, the output of the filter is connected to the input of first crystal oscillator 2, and the output of first crystal oscillator 2 is connected to the input end of the phase detector for synchronizing the reference clock signal. The reference clock signals output by first crystal oscillator 1 and first crystal oscillator 2 are synchronized through the connected phase detectors and filters for synchronizing the reference clock signal. Similarly, a group of phase detectors and filters for synchronizing the reference clock signal are connected between first crystal oscillator 1 and first crystal oscillator 3 in accordance with the above principle, so that the reference clock signals output by first crystal oscillator 1 and first crystal oscillator 3 can be synchronized. A group of phase detectors and filters for synchronizing the reference clock signal are connected between first crystal oscillator 1 and first crystal oscillator n in accordance with the above principle, so that the reference clock signals output by first crystal oscillator 1 and first crystal oscillator n can be synchronized. For ease of description, the phase detector and filter for synchronizing the reference clock signal are defined as a synchronization module. The synchronization module can be understood as a narrowband phase-locked loop in the related art. In an exemplary embodiment, the phase detector unit of the embodiment of the present invention is a phase detector or a phase frequency detector.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the weighting unit of the embodiment of the present invention is an adder.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the reference clock unit includes a second crystal oscillator and one or more third crystal oscillators; wherein the second crystal oscillator is configured to: output a reference clock signal; the third crystal oscillator is configured to: output a reference clock signal;

[0064] The frequency of the reference clock signal output by the second crystal oscillator is greater than the frequency of the reference clock signal output by the third crystal oscillator.

[0065] The number of the third crystal oscillator in the embodiment of the application is 8.

[0066] In an exemplary example, the number of the third crystal oscillator in the embodiment of the application is 16.

[0067] In an exemplary example, the third crystal oscillator in the embodiment of the application is numbered as the third crystal oscillator 1, the third crystal oscillator 2, …, and the third crystal oscillator m. After the reference clock signal of the second crystal oscillator is determined as the standard reference clock, a set of synchronization modules is connected between the second crystal oscillator and the third crystal oscillator 1 to synchronize the reference clock signals output by the second crystal oscillator and the third crystal oscillator 1. Similarly, a set of synchronization modules is connected between the second crystal oscillator and the third crystal oscillator 2, a set of synchronization modules is connected between the second crystal oscillator and the third crystal oscillator 2, and a set of synchronization modules is connected between the second crystal oscillator and the third crystal oscillator m to realize the synchronization of the reference clock signals output by the reference clock unit. In an exemplary example, the phase discriminator unit in the embodiment of the application includes a number of phase discriminators (or frequency and phase discriminators) equal to the number of the reference clock signals. Each phase discriminator (or frequency and phase discriminator) is configured to determine an error signal corresponding to one of the reference clock signals according to the phase difference between the reference clock signal and the feedback signal. In other words, when the phase-locked loop includes N crystal oscillators, the phase discriminator unit includes N phase discriminators (or frequency and phase discriminators). According to a one-to-one correspondence, each crystal oscillator is connected to a phase discriminator (or frequency and phase discriminator). The phase discriminator (or frequency and phase discriminator) determines the error signal corresponding to the reference clock signal from the crystal oscillator connected to the phase discriminator (or frequency and phase discriminator) according to the phase difference between the reference clock signal and the feedback signal.

[0068] In an exemplary example, the frequency of the third crystal oscillator in the embodiment of the application is 0.1n kilohertz, where n is a positive integer.

[0069] In an exemplary example, the correction unit in the phase-locked loop in the embodiment of the application can be an oscillator. In an exemplary example, the feedback unit in the phase-locked loop in the embodiment of the application can be a frequency divider.

[0070] When the correction unit in the phase-locked loop is an oscillator and the feedback unit is a frequency divider, the processing performed by the filter, the oscillator, and the frequency divider in the embodiment of the application is exactly the same as the processing performed by the filter, the oscillator, and the frequency divider in the related art, except that the input is changed.

[0071] In an exemplary example, the oscillator in the embodiment of the application can be a voltage-controlled oscillator.

[0072] It should be noted that the correction unit and the feedback unit in the embodiment of the present invention can be replaced with other components according to the results of the phase-locked loop in the relevant technology, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the first crystal oscillator in the embodiment of the present invention can be a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) or a digitally controlled crystal oscillator; in an exemplary embodiment, the second crystal oscillator in the embodiment of the present invention can be a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator or a digitally controlled crystal oscillator; in an exemplary embodiment, the third crystal oscillator in the embodiment of the present invention can be a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator or a digitally controlled crystal oscillator.

[0074] The following example illustrates that the first, second, and third crystal oscillators are all voltage-controlled crystal oscillators. A voltage-controlled crystal oscillator is referred to as a first VCXO, a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator is referred to as a second VCXO, and a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator is referred to as a third VCXO. This example illustrates that a reference clock unit includes one second VCXO and one or more third VCXOs for outputting N reference clock signals, a phase detector unit includes N phase detectors, a weighting unit is an adder, and a filter, a correction unit, and a feedback unit in a phase-locked loop are connected in sequence. Figure 2 This is an example diagram of a phase-locked loop according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the VCXO is the second VCXO, it can be determined as the master crystal oscillator (Master VCXO). When the VCXO is the third VCXO, N-1 third VCXOs can be considered as N-1 slave crystal oscillators (Slave VCXOs). Each slave crystal oscillator is controlled by a synchronization module to synchronize with the master crystal oscillator. The phase-locked loop in the embodiment of the present invention includes one master phase-locked loop and N-1 (N-1 is greater than or equal to 1, and can be 8 or 16) synchronous phase-locked loops. The bandwidth of the synchronous phase-locked loop is much smaller than that of the master phase-locked loop. Because the phase noise of each crystal oscillator is uncorrelated within the frequency range above the synchronous phase-locked loop bandwidth, the output of each crystal oscillator in the embodiment of the present invention is phase-detected with the output of the feedback unit, resulting in a total of N phase detectors. The outputs of the phase detectors are averaged to achieve phase-domain averaging of the reference clock noise, thereby achieving an equivalent reference clock with an equivalent noise of 1 / (N) of a single crystal oscillator. It achieves noise averaging in the phase domain, reduces the noise of the equivalent reference clock of the phase-locked loop, avoids the noise and power consumption limitations of the traditional phase-locked loop, and is beneficial to reducing the overall noise and power consumption of the phase-locked loop.

[0075] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a signal processing device, which includes the above-mentioned phase-locked loop.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal processing device according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a receiver, a clock circuit, a frequency sweep circuit, or a local oscillator circuit.

[0078] Step 301: Perform frequency division processing on the output voltage signal output by the phase-locked loop in the first cycle to obtain a feedback signal;

[0082] The first period and the second period are two adjacent periods of the output voltage signal; and the two or more reference clock signals are synchronized.

[0083] The embodiment of the present invention determines multiple error signals through two or more reference clock signals and achieves phase domain averaging of the reference clock noise of the phase-locked loop by weighting the error signals, thereby avoiding the influence of the in-band phase noise of the reference clock on the power consumption of the phase-locked loop and reducing the power consumption of the phase-locked loop.
