ABSTRACT:
The present invention, generally speaking, provides an RF modulator that allows precise, stable phase shifts to be obtained. The modulator uses a PLL structure including an auxiliary feedforward path used to inject a baseband modulation signal into the PLL at a point past a loop filter of the PLL. A phase demodulator recovers phase information from the output signal of the PLL. The recovered phase information is compared to the phase information of the baseband modulation signal. A resulting error signal is used to control injection of the baseband modulation signal into the PLL, to automatically achieve the correct "dosage." A precise, adaptive, phase-stable modulator results. The adaptation of the modulator compensates for variability of the VCO and other components of the PLL.
