Abstract

See full text

There is described a stabilization process for the local oscillator frequency in wide-band tunable DROs employed in receivers of a digital microwave radio link. A microprocessor, already provided for normal operation control, cyclically reads the control voltage of a VCO inserted in PLL which reconstructs an intermediate frequency carrier used to coherently demodulate the received signal. The voltage read is compared with an optimal reference value by taking an error signal which controls a varicap diode of the DRO for tuning correction. With each reading, the optimal value can be modified on the basis of temperature data supplied by a heat sensor to cancel the effect of temperature on the reference.
