Abstract:
Phase detector circuitry includes oscillator circuitry, edge detection and correction circuitry, sampler circuitry, and adder circuitry. The oscillator circuitry is configured to provide a sawtooth oscillator signal. The edge detection and correction circuitry is configured to receive an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal, provide an edge detection signal during each edge of the in-phase signal and the quadrature signal, and provide an edge correction signal based on whether the edge is in the in-phase signal or the quadrature signal and whether the edge is a rising edge or a falling edge. The sampler circuitry is configured to sample the sawtooth oscillator signal in response to the edge detection signal. The adder circuitry is configured to subtract the edge correction signal from the sampled sawtooth oscillator signal to provide a phase estimate signal.
