Abstract

A reference frequency generation method and apparatus for communication systems that transmit and receive data by use of an ultra wide band of at least two frequency groups having at least two reference frequencies. The method and apparatus generate the reference frequencies by generating generation frequencies by use of a frequency generated from the local oscillator, and generating adjustment frequencies for adjusting the generation frequency. One generation frequency and one adjustment frequency are selected from the generation frequencies and adjustment frequencies, and the reference frequencies are generated by use of the selected generation frequency and adjustment frequency.

Claims (30)

1. A reference frequency generation method for communication systems transmitting and receiving data by use of an ultra wide band of at least two frequency groups having at least two reference frequencies, the method comprising:

generating generation frequencies by using a frequency generated from a local oscillator and adjustment frequencies for adjusting the generation frequencies;

selecting one generation frequency and one adjustment frequency out of the generation frequencies and adjustment frequencies; and

generating the reference frequencies by using the selected generation frequency and adjustment frequency,

wherein the adjustment frequencies correspond to differences between the respective generation frequencies and the respective reference frequencies.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reference frequencies are 3432 MHz, 3960 MHz, 4488 MHz, 6336 MHz, 6864 MHz, 7392 MHz, and 7920 MHz.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frequency generated from the local oscillator is 3960 MHz.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,wherein the generation frequencies are 3960 MHz and 7128 MHz.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the 3960 MHz generation frequency is generated from the local oscillator and the 7128 MHz generation frequency is generated by dividing the frequency generated from the local oscillator by 5 and multiplying the divided result by 9.

6. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein adjustment frequencies for adjusting the 7128 MHz generation frequency are 264 MHz and 792 MHz, and an adjustment frequency for adjusting the 3960 MHz is 528 MHz.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the 792 MHz adjustment frequency is obtained by dividing a frequency generated from the local oscillator by 5, the 264 MHz adjustment frequency is obtained by dividing the 792 MHz adjustment frequency by 3, and the 528 MHz adjustment frequency is obtained by multiplying the 264 MHz adjustment frequency by 2.

8. A reference frequency generation apparatus for communication systems transmitting and receiving data by use of an ultra wide band of at least two frequency groups having at least two reference frequencies, comprising:

a local oscillator;

a generation frequency-generating part which generates generation frequencies using a frequency generated from the local oscillator;

an adjustment frequency-generating part which generates adjustment frequencies for adjusting the generation frequencies;

a first section unit which selects one adjustment frequency from the adjustment frequencies; a second selection unit which selects one generation frequency from the generation frequencies; and

a mixer which generates the reference frequencies using the selected generation frequency and adjustment frequency,

wherein the adjustment frequencies correspond to differences between the respective generation frequencies and the respective reference frequencies.

9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the reference frequencies are 3432 MHz, 3960 MHz, 4488 MHz, 6336 MHz, 6864 MHz, 7392 MHz, and 7920 MHz.

10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the local oscillator generates a frequency of 3960 MHz.

11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the generation frequency-generating part generates generation frequencies of 3960 MHz and 7128 MHz.

12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the adjustment frequency-generating part generates an adjustment frequencies of 528 MHz to adjust a generation frequency of 3960 MHz.

13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the adjustment frequency-generating part generates adjustment frequencies of 264 MHz and 792 MHz to adjust a generation frequency of 7128 MHz.

14. A reference frequency generation apparatus for communication systems transmitting and receiving data by use of an ultra wide band of at least two frequency groups having at least two reference frequencies, comprising:

a local oscillator;

a generation frequency-generating part which generates generation frequencies using a frequency generated from the local oscillator;

an adjustment frequency-generating part which generates adjustment frequencies for adjusting the generation frequencies;

a first selection unit which selects a generation frequency from the generation frequencies;

a second selection unit which selects an adjustment frequency from the adjustment frequencies; and

a mixer which generates the reference frequencies using the generation frequency selected by the first selection unit and the adjustment frequency selected by the second selection unit.
