MULTI-PHASE SIGNAL GENERATION SCHEME AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956835 titled 'MULTI-PHASE SIGNAL GENERATION SCHEME AND METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a signal generator with a plurality of interpolators that receive input signals, generate interpolated signals based on the input signals, and combine them to provide an output signal.

  • Each interpolator receives a first input signal with a first phase and a second input signal with a second phase.
  • The interpolators generate multiple interpolated signals based on different interpolations of the input signals, each with a respective phase determined by the interpolation.
  • The interpolators are divided into a first group that receives reference signals and a second group that receives output signals from the first group.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Telecommunications for signal processing and modulation.
  • Radar systems for signal generation and processing.

Problems Solved

This innovation addresses:

  • Efficient signal generation and processing.
  • Precise phase control in signal modulation.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved signal accuracy.
  • Enhanced signal processing capabilities.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application for this technology could be:

  • Manufacturing and selling signal generators for various industries.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Existing signal generators with basic interpolation capabilities.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does this signal generator compare to others in terms of speed and accuracy? 2. Are there any limitations to the number of interpolators that can be used in this system?


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a signal generator including: a plurality of interpolators, each interpolator being configured to: receive a first input signal having a first phase, and a second input signal having a second phase; generate a plurality of interpolated signals based on a plurality of interpolations of the input signals, each interpolated signal having a respective phase based on the respective interpolation, and combine the interpolated signals to provide an output signal; the plurality of interpolators including: a first plurality of interpolators, each interpolator being configured to receive as input signals a first reference signal and a second reference signal; and a second plurality of interpolators, each interpolator being configured to receive as first input signal an output signal from an interpolator of the first plurality of interpolators and as second input signal another output signal from another interpolator of the first plurality of interpolators.
