Embodiments relate to a frequency generator. The frequency generator comprises a quantization device configured to synthesize a carrier signal with a desired frequency characterized by a series of phase transitions at desired time instants, by approximating a phase transition at a desired time instant with a phase transition at a quantized effective time instant. The frequency generator further comprises a noise shaper configured to provide a noise-shaped feedback signal using the desired time instant and the effective time instant. Moreover, the frequency generator comprises an error generator configured to cause an error component within the effective time instant, the error component being at least 50 percent of a temporal quantization unit.

Frequency generator, method and computer program

An apparatus for providing oscillator signals includes a first digital-to-time converter module configured to generate a first oscillator signal based on a first adapted input signal, a second digital-to-time converter module configured to generate a second oscillator signal; and a first processing module configured to generate the first adapted input signal of the first digital-to-time converter module by adding noise to a first input signal.

Apparatus and a method for providing oscillator signals

A method for determining a sampling time of a signal, the method including: determining a candidate sampling time of a signal for input to a sampling circuit; determining a resultant sampling time at which the sampling circuit samples the signal when input with the candidate sampling time; and determining a sampling time of the signal based on a noise shaping of a difference between the resultant sampling time and the candidate sampling time.

Method for determining a sampling time of a signal, device for determining the same, and method for determining a sampling parameter of a signal

This application discusses, among other things, apparatus and methods for suppressing irrelevant edges of a phase modulated signal. In an example, a method can include receiving phase modulation information at a suppression circuit of a communication device, computing distances between transitions of a phase modulation signal, the phase modulation signal associated with the phase modulation information, comparing the distances to a threshold distance at a comparator of the suppression circuit, and suppressing a first transition of the phase modulation signal associated with the phase modulation information if a first distance is less than the threshold distance.

Removal of irrelevance in phase-modulated digital carrier-signals

A method is disclosed, including identifying a preamble in a frame, where the preamble has a preamble length 1. M data items received in succession are stored. The m data items once divided into n portions, where the data items in each portion have respectively been received at successive times and where m and n are natural numbers and the following applies to m and n: m&#x3e;n, m&#x3e;1, n&#x3e;1. The n portions are respectively correlated to the expected values to form component correlation results. Delaying the component correlation results, with at least two component correlation results being delayed by different lengths. The method also includes combining the delayed component correlation results to form a total correlation value. The total correlation value is used to determine whether the m received data items contain the preamble of a frame.
