Direct digital synthesizer for producing a modulated intermediate frequency in a radio apparatus

摘要

A synthesizer for a radio transceiver uses a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) system (3) to provide a modulated signal for the transmitter section. The modulated signal (So) is then mixed in a mixer (4) using a signal from a local oscillator (1) to provide the signal for transmission. The reference frequency for the DDS system is provided by the local oscillator (1) of the receiver section. The local oscillator is used to provide the signal for the mixer (4).
