In this paper, a lumped time-delay compensation scheme with 2-bit quantization resolution is proposed. A strip silicon waveguide is designed and used to compensate for the entire time-delays of the optical pulses after a soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) module within a wavelength range of 1550 nm-1580 nm. A dispersion coefficient as high as -19800 ps/(km.nm) with +0.5 ps/(km.nm) variation is predicted for the strip waveguide. The simulation results show that the maximum supportable sampling rate (MSSR) is 50.45 GSa/s with full width at half maximum (FWHM) variation less than 2.52 ps, along with the 2-bit effective- number-of-bit and Gray code output.展开更多

The technique is implemented in SAR ADC which is based on tri-level switching. The termination capacitor in the Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is regarded as a reference capacitor and the digital weights of all other unit capacitors are corrected with respect to the reference capacitor. To make a comparison between the size of the unit capacitor and that of the reference capacitor, each input sample is quantized twice. The unit capacitor being calibrated is swapped with the reference capacitor during the second conversion. The difference between the two conversion results is used to correct the digital weight of the unit capacitor under calibration. The calibration technique with two reference capacitors is presented to reduce the number of parameters to be estimated. Behavior simulation is performed to verify the proposed calibration technique by using a 12-bit SAR ADC with 3% random capacitor mismatch. The simulation results show that the Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SNDR) is improved from 57.2 dB to 72.2 dB and the Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) is improved from 60.0 dB to 85.4 dB.展开更多

As analog-to-digital converter(ADC) is a crucial part in the DBPM system, the sampling methods should be studied to achieve optimum performance. Different sampling modes were used and compared through tests. Long term variation among four sampling channels, which would introduce errors in beam position measurement, is investigated. An interleaved distribution scheme was designed to address this issue. To evaluate the sampling methods, in-beam tests were conducted in SSRF. Test results indicate that with proper sampling methods, a turn-by-turn(TBT) position resolution better than 1 μm is achieved, and the slow-acquisition(SA) position resolution is improved from 4.28 μm to 0.17 μm.展开更多

The characteristics in imaging system such as focus length of transducer, the swing radius and sampling length etc. could be changed easily in compliance with the researcher's application based on this flexible digital scan converter. Linear interpolation is employed to achieve the coordinate transformations algorithm. Custom-built software is programmed to preliminarily handle the algorithm according to different ultrasound imaging applications. High performance FPGA will implement high speed interpolation calculation based on the preliminary data which are stored in the DDR2 SDRAM from the software. 64 bit 66 MHz PCI is employed to accomplish high speed data transmission. Experiment has shown that more than 500 frame rate could be achieved based on this high speed digital scan converter. The designed flexible and high speed digital scan converter could be used in current FPGA based high frequency ultrasound imaging system.展开更多
