The self-calibration technique is employed to acquire wide lock range,low jitter, and fast acquisition. The DPLL works from 60 to 600MHz at a supply voltage of 1.8V. It also features a fraetional-N synthesizer with digital 2nd-order sigma-delta noise shaping, which can achieve a short lock time,a high frequency resolution,and an improved phase-noise spectrum. The DPLL has been implemented in SMIC 0. 18μm 1.8V 1P6M CMOS technology. The peak-to-peak jitter is less than 0. 8% of the output clock period and the lock time is less than 150 times of the reference clock period after the pre-divider.展开更多

This frequen- cy synthesizer is based on a direct digital synthesizer （ DDS ） -driven wideband phase-locked loop （PLL） architecture which can achieve low spurious noise and rapid frequency hopping simultaneous- ly. The mechanism of introducing high level spurs by the images of DDS digital to analog convertor （DAC） output is analyzed. A novel DDS frequency planning method is proposed to ensure low col- ored noise within the entire bandwidth. The designed output frequency range is 3. 765 -4. 085 GHz, and the step size is 5 MHz with frequency agility of less than 1 μs. Measured results demonstrate that the average spurious free dynamic range （SFDR） is about 64 dBc in a 320 MHz bandwidth.展开更多

The DCO is composed of a free-running ring oscillator （FRO） and a two lap-selectors integrated flying-adder （FA）. With a coiled cell array which allows uniform loading capacitances of the delay cells, the FRO produces 32 outputs with consistent tap spacing for the FA as reference clocks. The FA uses the outputs from the FRO to generate the output of the DCO according to the control number, resulting in a linear dependence of the output period, instead of the frequency on the digital controlling word input. Thus the proposed DCO ensures a good conversion linearity in a time-domain, and is suitable for time-domain all-digital phase locked loop applications. The DCO was implemented in a standard 0.13μm digital logic CMOS process. The measurement results show that the DCO has a linear and monotonic tuning curve with gain variation of less than 10%, and a very low root mean square period jitter of 9.3 ps in the output clocks. The DCO works well at supply voltages ranging from 0.6 to 1.2 V, and consumes 4 mW of power with 500 MHz frequency output at 1.2 V supply voltage.展开更多

To apply the knowledge of DPLLs to the design of Kalman filters this paper studies the steady-state performance of Kalman filters for these system models. The results show that the steady-state Kalman gain has the same form as the DPLL gain. An approximate simple form for the steady-state Kalman gain is used to derive an expression for the equivalent loop bandwidth of the Kalman filter as a function of the process and observation noise variances. These results can be used to analyze the steady-state performance of a Kalman filter with DPLL theory or to design a Kalman filter model with the same steady-state performance as a given DPLL.展开更多
