[aprssig] Packet Radio Tone Generation

[scott at opentrac.org]

Right - what I did in my code was use one variable as a phase accumulator
that keeps track of what point the sine wave is at.  Each output cycle, that
serves as a pointer to a sine lookup table and that value is sent - in this
case to PWM, but it could be a DAC.  The value by which the phase
accumulator is incremented determines its frequency.  Every 1/1200 sec it
grabs the next bit and decides which increment to use.

Because of the lack of documentation out there, I wrote up my own page on
the subject:

http://n1vg.net/packet/index.php

There are a number of details in there that get missed in much of the
documentation.  Also, if you don't mind reading HC08 assembly language,
check out the code in the fsk.c module of the OpenTracker source.  The PWM
output complicates things a little compared to MIM or SoTT, though.

I cannot claim to have written the code yet... but I've been thinking about
it so here are my thoughts

2200 will NOT fit nicely at a zero crossing.

The two tones must remain "in phase"... i.e you cannot "jump" to the zero
crossing point when you change tones.

Therefore, the best thing to do (IHMO) is to run two clocks, one, generating
the correct ramp for the current tone, and another telling you when to
change the first timer, and hence, the tone.
