Modulator
The
programmable
waveform is fed into a modulation varactor in the
VCO, which will create the desired frequency
modulation.
narrowed by increasing the rise-and fall times of the
waveform.
The modulator waveform is created by charging and
discharging a capacitor. A modulator clock controls
the timing, as shown in Figure19. For every rise-and
fall edge, 4 clock periods are being used. The
charging current during these 4 clock periods are not
equal, this is to reduce the high frequency
components in the waveform, which in turn will
narrow the frequency spectrum.
The frequency deviation can be set in three different
ways, as will be explained below. A formula for
setting the desired deviation is given at the end of
this chapter.
Modulator Clock
The modulator clock frequency is set by:
where f
Figure 19, f
Refclk_K is a 6 bit number and Mod_clkS is a 3 bit
number. Mod_clkS can be set to a value between 0
and 7. The modulator clock frequency should be set
according to the bit rate and shaping.

A f
corresponds to a signal filtered in a Gaussian filter
with a Bandwidth Period product (BT) of 1. When BT
is increased, the waveform will be less filtered.
Minimum BT is 1 (f

BT=2, i.e. the f
the bit rate. When changing the BT factor, the
charge-and discharge times will also be changed,
and therefore the frequency deviation, as shown in
Figure 20.
Modulator Current
The current used during the rise- and fall times can
be programmed with the Mod_I4..Mod_I0 bit, the
last one being LSB. Figure 21 shows two waveforms
generated
higher frequency deviation and vice versa. The
effect of modulator clock and MOD_I is illustrated by:
To avoid saturation in the modulator it is important
not to exceed maximum Mod_I. Maximum Mod_I for
a given f
