Abstract
Disclosed is a digital VFO device which comprises a plurality of VFO circuits 12 and 14; synchronous counters 12a and 14a installed in each VFO circuits 12 and 14; and an adjusting circuit 110 selecting one of the VFO circuits 12 and 14 based on signals 113 and 114 representing the peak shift state of an input data 11 output from each VFO circuits. Correcting instruction signals 16 and 17 are generated to correct the synchronous counter of the other VFO circuits by substituting the counter value of the synchronous counter of the VFO circuit selected by the adjusting circuit 110 for the synchronous counter of the other VFO circuits.
Claims16
A digital VFO device outputting, as output signal, a window signal in a predetermined phase relation to an input data having a peak shift, the digital VFO device comprising:
- a plurality of VFO circuits receiving said input data having said peak shift and outputting a signal representing a peak shift state of said input data;
- a synchronous counter provided for each of said plurality of VFO circuits and having a correcting characteristic different from each other;
- and
- an adjusting circuit selecting one of said plurality of VFO circuits based on said signal representing said peak shift state of said input data, and outputting a correcting instruction signal to substitute a counter value of said synchronous counter of said selected VFO circuit for said synchronous counter of the other VFO circuit so as to correct said synchronous counter of the other VFO circuit,
- wherein said adjusting circuit comprises:
- a data storaging circuit provided for each of said plurality of VFO circuits and storaging a signal representing a peak shift state of a first input data being input just before a second input data;
- a detecting circuit provided for each of said VFO circuits to detect whether a peak shift of said second input data complies with a predetermined logic, based on both a data being storaged in said data storaging circuit and a signal representing a peak shift state of said second input data, and to output said correcting instruction signal to correct said counter value of said corresponding VFO circuit when it is detected not to comply with the predetermined logic;
- and
- a window pulse selecting circuit selecting one of said plurality of VFOs based on the detection result of said detecting circuit, and outputting, as an output signal, a WINDOW pulse of said selected VFO circuit.
