Abstract

See full text

Performance indicator circuitry is provided for characterizing performance of a phase locked loop (PLL) in a phase path of a polar modulator or polar transmitter that is used to generate a phase modulated RF signal. The PLL includes an oscillator, a high pass path, and a low pass path. The low pass path includes a loop filter. The performance indicator circuitry includes first input circuitry and parameter calculation circuitry. The first input circuitry is configured to input a loop filter signal from the loop filter. The parameter calculation circuitry is configured to compute a value for a performance indicator based on the loop filter signal and control or characterize an aspect of operation of the PLL based on the value.
