ABSTRACT:
A signal conditioning circuit contains an oscillator which is connected to the inputs of two mixers. The output of one mixer is coupled, so as to form a feedback path, to a frequency divider circuit whose first output is coupled to the second input of the first mixer. A second signal output of the frequency divider circuit carries a signal with a phase shift of90degrees with respect to the signal at the first signal output of the frequency divider circuit. The second signal is supplied to a second input of the second mixer. Feedback results in undesirable signal components in the in-phase and quadrature components being suppressed. At the same time, the in-phase and quadrature components have a fixed phase relationship with respect to one another. The signal conditioning circuit allows desired non-integer division ratios to be achieved.
