APPARATUS FOR LOW POWER RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A low-power radio transceiver comprising a loop filter/sample and hold circuit (66) for storing the VCO (32), control voltage (40), thereby allowing the PLL in the synthesizer (2), to be opened and closed with minimum output frequency drift. Power consumption is reduced by partially powering down the synthesizer (2) during open-loop operation. Automatic frequency control is provided in the receiver.
