Abstract

Abstract The output oscillation frequency of the oscillator is controlled depending on input numerical data (N,L) and comprises: first accumulation means (3,4) for accumulating a first set value (N) which is set depending on the input numerical data with a first frequency (F c ) and sequentially outputting the accumulated value; second accumulation means for accumulating a second set value (L) which is set depending on the input numerical data with a second frequency and varying the first set (N) value by a predetermined value temporarily when the accumulated value reaches a predetermined maximum value; and frequency generation means (6,7) for outputting a frequency depending on an output of the first accumulation means as an oscillation frequency.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 108 words
A numerical control type oscillator whose output oscillation frequency is controlled depending on input numerical data, comprising: first accumulation means for accumulating a first set value which is set depending on said input numerical data with a first frequency and sequentially outputting the accumulated value; second accumulation means for accumulating a second set value which is set depending on said input numerical data with a second frequency and varying said first set value by a predetermined value temporarily when the accumulated value reaches a predetermined maximum value; and frequency generation means for outputting a frequency depending on an output of said first accumulation means as an oscillation frequency.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 46 words
A numerical control type oscillator according to claim 1, wherein a differential value between the accumulated value of said second accumulation means and said maximum value is set to a new accumulated value when the accumulated value of said second accumulation means reaches said maximum value.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
A numerical control type oscillator according to claim 2, wherein the accumulated value of said second accumulation means is initialized to 0 at the time of starting of the operation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
A numerical control type oscillator according to claim 1, wherein said second frequency is obtained by dividing said first frequency.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 51 words
A numerical control type oscillator according to claim 1, wherein said frequency generation means is a memory which stores each value of a waveform data of a period obtained by dividing by the time base in each address and an output of said first accumulation means is used as each address.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 132 words
A numerical control type oscillator for generating a reference frequency which is controlled by a numerical value data depending on a phase error component of a reception frequency and the phases of the reference frequency and the reception frequency are compared, comprising: first accumulation means for accumulating a first set value which is set depending on said input numerical data with a first frequency and sequentially outputting the accumulated value; second accumulation means for accumulating a second set value which is set depending on said numerical data with a second frequency and varying said first set value by a predetermined value temporarily when the accumulated value reaches a predetermined maximum value; and frequency generation means for outputting a frequency depending on an output of said first accumulation means as said reference frequency.
