ABSTRACT:
A method of providing DC coupled frequency modulation without center frequency offset of a RF carrier frequency generated in a phase-locked loop circuit. The circuit is automatically calibrated to generate a feedback signal for cancelling DC offsets at the input of the coupling integrator with a digital-to-analog converter and resistor network driven by a digital counter. After removing frequency modulation, the coupling integrator's output will ramp while the offsets remain uncancelled. Incrementing or decrementing the digital counter in response to the integrator's output will adjust the feedback signal until the offsets are cancelled and the integrator ceases to ramp. The counter value is stored in a memory to allow subsequent presetting of the feedback signal to the calibrated magnitude. Holding the feedback signal constant thereafter during DC coupled frequency modulation keeps the RF carrier at center frequency.
