技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种减少噪声的技术,尤其是涉及一种应用于在高频/低频环境下提供相位或频率噪声抑制的振荡器耦合系统。The present invention relates to a noise reduction technology, in particular to an oscillator coupling system applied to provide phase or frequency noise suppression in high frequency/low frequency environments.
背景技术 Background technique
在通信电路和电子系统中,因为信号来源或振荡产生元件产生噪声,将造成限制系统整体效率的结果,其中,噪声干扰的产生原因有许多,如雷击、周边负载设备的开关机、发电机、无线电通信、导线接触不良、开关接合不良、接地方式不当及无线电波干扰等。若产生噪声的现象未经排除,在例如储存设备上则易导致数据文件存取或可执行文件的随机错误,在电子产品上则容易导致计算器及控制器的不正常动作或干扰通信系统。In communication circuits and electronic systems, noises generated by signal sources or oscillation generating components will limit the overall efficiency of the system. Among them, there are many reasons for noise interference, such as lightning strikes, switching of peripheral load equipment, generators, Radio communication, poor wire contact, poor switch engagement, improper grounding and radio wave interference, etc. If the phenomenon of noise generation is not eliminated, it will easily lead to random errors in data file access or executable files on storage devices, and it will easily cause abnormal operations of calculators and controllers or interfere with communication systems on electronic products.
为了减少噪声的影响,很多业者开发出相位或频率噪声降低的技术,包括有使用于半导体装置上的低频振荡噪声抑制、特殊的振荡器电路设计、高品质因子(Q-factor)的共振器设计、及注入信号(injection signal)作为相位锁定(phase locked)以实现降低相位或频率噪声等技术,其中,该注入信号降低相位或频率噪声技术又可分为高频信号注入、低频信号注入以及高频振荡器信号低频振荡器信号混和信号注入,但有鉴于科技的越发进步,电子与通信领域运用于高频的系统也越来越多。In order to reduce the impact of noise, many companies have developed phase or frequency noise reduction technologies, including low-frequency oscillation noise suppression for semiconductor devices, special oscillator circuit design, and resonator design with high quality factor (Q-factor). , and the injection signal (injection signal) as a phase locked (phase locked) to achieve the reduction of phase or frequency noise and other technologies, wherein the injection signal reduction of phase or frequency noise technology can be divided into high-frequency signal injection, low-frequency signal injection and high-frequency signal injection Frequency oscillator signal low frequency oscillator signal mixed signal injection, but in view of the advancement of technology, more and more systems are used in high frequency in the field of electronics and communication.
请参阅图1a所示,为现有振荡器耦合系统的方块示意图,如图所示,利用第一振荡元件11’与第二振荡元件13’间串接一延迟元件21’,用以将该第一振荡元件11’产生的频率及噪声通过该延迟元件21’输入至该第二振荡元件13’的输出端,将该第二振荡元件13’产生的频率及噪声通过该延迟元件21’输入至该第一振荡元件11’的输出端,使得不同振荡器的输出信号实现相同工作频率,并且造成相位锁定(phase locked),并通过不同振荡器的噪声输入使电路系统间产生一定相位或频率噪声抑制程度的相关性,而经过相位或频率噪声降低后的振荡信号再提供电路负载使用,可获得一较稳定的工作环境。因此,现有振荡器耦合系统已被用在高功率结合(Power Combining)系统及主动相位数组(Active Phased Array)等应用。Please refer to FIG. 1a, which is a schematic block diagram of an existing oscillator coupling system. As shown in the figure, a delay element 21' is connected in series between the first oscillating element 11' and the second oscillating
请参阅图1b所示,利用经相位移和相互注入振荡信号作为相位锁定(phase locked)以抑制噪声的产生,其中,该振荡器耦合方式与需求元件都与上述大致相同,惟其主要差异在于第二振荡元件13’输出后再通过一相移元件15’将振荡信号与噪声的相位移动一设定角度再进行两振荡元件间噪声的抑制,并且可以抑制振荡器中的一模式频率的信号,而提高另一模式频率的信号。如此,可提高振荡器中特定频率信号的功率结合,其整个耦合电路被称为推入-推入(push-push)振荡器,该耦合电路与任何单一振荡器相比,具有6dB信号功率的改善。Please refer to Figure 1b, using the phase-shifted and mutually injected oscillating signals as phase locked to suppress the generation of noise, where the oscillator coupling method and required components are roughly the same as the above, but the main difference lies in the first After the output of the two
另外,如图1c图所示的现有技术,以两个相反方向的单向放大器所组成的一延迟元件21’设置于两个振荡元件电路间,以实现两个振荡元件噪声抑制相关连的特性,如已知的交互耦合(cross-coupled)振荡器和象限角耦合(Quadrature-coupled)振荡器,需注意的是,该延迟元件21’不可破坏振荡元件本身产生振荡的特性。In addition, in the prior art shown in Figure 1c, a delay element 21' composed of two unidirectional amplifiers in opposite directions is arranged between two oscillating element circuits to realize the noise suppression of the two oscillating elements. characteristics, such as known cross-coupled oscillators and quadrant-coupled oscillators, it should be noted that the
上述现有振荡器耦合系统将两个振荡器间连接一耦合电路,而该耦合电路可以传输振荡器中的振荡信号。若连接两个振荡器的电路仅提供不随时间变化的固定直流(DC)电压或直流(DC)电流或接地(Ground),则不能算是耦合电路,若没有该耦合电路,两个振荡器的振荡信号则没有相关性。因此,通过两个振荡器本身都具有噪声的特性,配合该耦合电路在两个振荡器的噪声间产生不同噪声振幅相互抵销的耦合性质,借此达到一定程度的噪声抑制作用,使在稳定输出信号频率条件下,最佳降低达10log2=3dB的相位噪声,而在N个振荡器同相耦合系统的环境下(N为一正整数),其最佳只降低10logN dB的相位噪声(phase noise)。In the above existing oscillator coupling system, a coupling circuit is connected between two oscillators, and the coupling circuit can transmit the oscillation signal in the oscillator. If the circuit connecting two oscillators only provides a fixed direct current (DC) voltage or direct current (DC) current or ground (Ground) that does not change with time, it cannot be regarded as a coupled circuit. Without the coupling circuit, the oscillation of the two oscillators Signals are not correlated. Therefore, through the noise characteristics of the two oscillators, the coupling circuit produces a coupling property in which different noise amplitudes cancel each other out between the noises of the two oscillators, so as to achieve a certain degree of noise suppression and stabilize the Under the condition of the output signal frequency, the best phase noise can be reduced by 10log2=3dB, but in the environment of N oscillators in-phase coupling system (N is a positive integer), the best phase noise can only be reduced by 10logN dB (phase noise ).
但是由于科技的进步,卫星通信、卫星网络、卫星定位、及无线网络工作的频率越来越高,已达数十MHz至数十GHz之高,前述的耦合至少两个以上的振荡器的技术若无法更有效地降低噪声的影响,则会使得整个通信系统的信号噪声比受到限制,而影响到系统的最小可检测信号功率,以致于信号的有效传输与接收距离受到限制,且有频宽不足的问题产生。However, due to the advancement of science and technology, the frequency of satellite communication, satellite network, satellite positioning, and wireless network is getting higher and higher, which has reached tens of MHz to tens of GHz. The aforementioned technology of coupling at least two oscillators If the influence of noise cannot be reduced more effectively, the signal-to-noise ratio of the entire communication system will be limited, which will affect the minimum detectable signal power of the system, so that the effective transmission and reception distance of the signal is limited, and there is a bandwidth Insufficient problems arise.
因此,如何有效解决上述技术所存在的问题,并开发出可符合高频电路需求及具有更佳相位或频率噪声抑制效果的系统,以增加系统工作频宽、提高运作效率及避免相位或频率噪声影响输出效果,为目前相关领域所亟待解决的课题。Therefore, how to effectively solve the problems existing in the above technologies, and develop a system that can meet the requirements of high-frequency circuits and have better phase or frequency noise suppression effects, so as to increase the system operating bandwidth, improve operating efficiency and avoid phase or frequency noise Affecting the output effect is an urgent problem to be solved in related fields.
