Abstract

See full text

This frequency synthesis device comprises a servo circuit for the control of a frequency provided as output by a reference frequency received as input, with this circuit comprising a first phase accumulator clocked at a frequency linked to the reference frequency, a first digital-to-analog converter, a phase comparator, a loop filter and a controlled frequency oscillator providing an electrical signal oscillating at the output frequency. It further comprises a feedback loop connecting the output to the phase comparator, comprising a second phase accumulator clocked at a frequency linked to the output frequency and a second digital-to-analog converter. A reduction in dynamics by quantization is provided between each phase accumulator and each respective digital-to-analog converter, with this quantization being carried out by truncation of digital values of accumulated phases at the output of each phase accumulator.
