To overcome this drawback, a new method called no phase slipping adaptive bandwidth(NPS-AB) is proposed, which can adjust the loop bandwidth adaptively for different working conditions. As a result, both the tracking precision and the dynamic performance can be achieved concurrently. NPS-AB has two features to keep the loop stable: one is the capability of quick response to dynamics; the other is a series of additional constraints when the bandwidth is switched. Compared with other methods, there is no phase slipping during the adjustment process for NPS-AB. The phase integer ambiguity can be avoided and the phase value is kept valid. It is meaningful for carrier ranging systems. Simulation results show that NPS-AB can deal with sudden dynamics and keep the pseudo-range value stable in the entire dynamic process.展开更多

The disturbances induced by the non-circularity and eccentricity of the rolls are quasi-periodic with a frequency that varies with their rotation speed. An adaptive method of rejection of these disturbances is proposed in this paper. It is based on a phase-locked loop structure that estimates simutaneously the phase and magnitude of the perturbation and then cancels it. This algorithm can be plugged in an existing industrial controller. The stability and robustness of the algorithm are also discussed. The ability of the algorithm to reject quasi-periodic disturbances with slowly varying frequencies is shown through simulation results.展开更多

This improved PLL is created by utilizing a fast start-up circuit and a slope current control on a conventional charge pump PLL. First, the fast start-up circuit is enabled to achieve fast pre-charging to the loop filter. Then, when the output pulse of the PFD is larger than a minimum value, the charge pump current is increased linearly by the slope current control to ensure a shorter locking time and a lower jitter. Additionally, temperature variation is attenuated with the temperature compensation in the charge pump current design. The proposed PLL has been fabricated in a kind of DSP chip based on a 0.35 μm CMOS process. Comparing the characteristics with the classical PLL, the proposed PLL shows that it can reduce the locking time by 60% with a low peak-to-peak jitter of 0.3% at a wide operation temperature range.展开更多

By implementing different building blocks with different types of devices,a high purity frequency synthesizer with excellent spur and phase noise performance has been realized. All the building blocks are implemented with differential topology except for the off-chip loop filter. To further reduce the phase noise,bonding wires are used to form the resonator in the LC-VCO. The frequency synthesizer operates from 2.39 to 2.72GHz with output power of about 0dBm. The measured closed-loop phase noise is - 95dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset and - 116dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from the carrier. The power level of the reference spur is less than - 72dBc. With a 3V power supply, the whole chip including the output buffers consumes 60mA.展开更多

In today’s scenario, the processor cores are made to operate at rapidly varying combinations of clock frequencies and very low supply voltages. Though the traditional self biased PLL is still being widely used with hardly any modification, it is becoming imperative to take a relook at the design aspects of these PLLs with respect to their jitter performance. This paper presents a systematic simulation study of designing the self biased PLL with the goal of reducing jitter. It further shows that if the self biased PLL is adapted into a dual loop scheme in a systematic manner, a significant jitter improvement can be obtained. Detailed simulations carried out in 0.18 μm CMOS technology indicate a reduction of 56% or more in jitter for the systematically designed dual loop scheme in comparison to the jitter reduced traditional self biased PLL.展开更多
