Abstract
A fast chirp Phase Locked Loop with a phase preset includes a Voltage Controlled Oscillator, VCO, generating a Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform, FMCW. The VCO responds to a filtered output voltage of a filter connected to a charge pump. A digital controller modifies the FMCW to generate a chirp phase and a return phase. The chirp phase includes a first linear change of the FMCW from a start frequency to a stop frequency. The return phase includes a second linear change of the FMCW from the stop frequency to the start frequency. A phase preset circuit connects to the digital controller and the filter. The phase preset circuit supplies a phase preset current during a start frequency time preceding the chirp phase. The phase preset current is proportional to a VCO gain of the VCO and inversely proportional to a chirp current during the chirp phase.
