DIRECT DIGITAL FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER WITH PHASE SELECTABLE INTERPOLATOR

摘要

The disclosure relates to improved direct digital frequency synthesizers. A synthesizer in one embodiment is comprised of an accumulator that provides a phase signal and an interpolator having two or more interpolation polynomials. The polynomial that processes the phase signal is selected by comparing the phase signal to a threshold value. A reduced complexity digital circuit is provided for implementing the improved synthesizer.
