In this paper, a PLL frequency synthesizer for RSSI applications is designed by phase noise analysis. Required synthesizer performance is achieved by optimizing the noise performance of PLL components and a loop transfer function, since its phase noise, lock time, and spur suppression capability are determined by the performance of loop components and loop filter characteristics. As an application example, a PLL frequency synthesizer for RSSI applications, which operates at the frequency of 2.288GHz, is designed using the phase noise analysis. The validity of the design technique is proved by experiments.

In this paper, phase noise analysis result for 2.4 GHz PLL(phase locked loop) using SPD(sample phase detector) is proposed. It can be used for high performance frequency synthesizer's LO(local oscillator) to extend output frequency range or for LO of offset PLL to reduce a division rate or for clock signal of DDS(direct digital synthesizer). Before manufacturing, theoretical estimation of PLL's phase noise performance should be performed. In order to calculate phase noise of PLL using SPD, Leeson model is used for modeling phase noise of VCO(voltage controlled oscillator) and OCXO(ovened crystal oscillator). After theoretically analyzing phase noise of PLL, optimized loop filter bandwidth was determined. And then, phase noise of designed loop filter was calculated to find suitable OP-Amp. Also, the calculated result of phase noise was compared with the measured one. The measured phase noise of PLL was -130 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz.

In this paper, we designed a phase-looking circuit that locks the 16.8 GHz VTDRO to a 700 MHz SAW oscillator using SPD as a phase detector Direct phase locking with loop filter alone causes the problem of lock time, so VTDRO is phase leered by loop filter with the aid of time varying square wave current generator. The current generator is related to the loop filter and needs the systematic toning. In this paper, a systematic design of the current generator and loop filter is presented. The fabricated PLDRO shows a stabilized frequency of 16.8 GHz, a output power 6.3 dBm, and a phase noise of -101 dBc/Hz at the 100 kHz offset.

Using Mach-Zehnder type intensity modulator, we stabilized a 10 GHz harmonically mode-locked dispersion-compensated fiber ring laser using a feedback controlling system, and we measured its stability. The laser was stabilized for more than 16 hours by controlling the cavity length to suppress the relaxation oscillation frequency component which had caused the laser output instability. The ms timing jitter and ms amplitude noise were measured to be 260-524 fsec and 4~11.5%, respectively, and BER test measurement showed a value of 10$^{-13}$ .

in this work, we designed and characterized a 10Gb/s clock and regeneration circuit. The circuit was realized by integrating high-speed ICs and microwave circuits on alumina substrates. The quadri-correlation method was used for frequency and phase-locked loop. The frequency locking range was 150MHz and the rms jitter generated by the circuit was measured to be less than 1.0ps. The clock and data regeneration circuit was successfully applied to 10Gb/s optical receiver.

This study detected SCC defects of dissimilar metal welded(STS304 and SA106 Gr. b) pipes using the ultrasonic infrared thermography method and the lock-in image treatment method among infrared thermography method. The infrared excitement equipment has 250 Watt of output and 20 kHz of frequency. By using the ultrasound infrared thermography method, the internal defects of dissimilar metal weld joints of pipes used at nuclear power plants could get detected. By an actual PT test, it was observed that the cracks inside the pipe existed not as a single crack but rather as a multiple cracks within a certain area and generated a hot spot image of a broad area on the thermography image. In addition, UT technology could not easily defects detected by the width of $10\;{\mu}m$ fine hair cracks. but, ultrasound infrared thermography technique was defect detected.

In this paper, we present the design of Q-band LC VCO and injection locking buffer for 77 GHz automotive radar sensor using 130 nm RF CMOS process. To improve the phase noise characteristic of LC tank, the transmission line is used. The negative resistance by the active device cross-coupled pair of buffer is used for high output power, with or without oscillation of buffer. The measured phase noise is -102 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency and tuning range is 34.53~35.07 GHz. The output power is higher than 4.1 dBm over entire tuning range. The fabricated chip size is $510{\times}130\;um^2$. The power consumption of LC VCO is 10.8 mW and injection locking buffer is 50.4 mW from 1.2 V supply.

10 GHz clock recovery from 40 Gbit/s optical time-division-multiplexed(OTDM) signal pulses was experimentally demonstrated using an optical phase lock loop based on a terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer(TOAD) with a local-reference-oscillator-free electronic feedback circuit. The 10 GHz clock was successfully extracted from 40 Gbit/s signals. The SNR of the time-extracted 10 GHz RF signal to the side components was larger than 40 dB. Also we performed numerical simulation about the extraction process of phase information in TOAD. The lock-in frequency range of the clock recovery is found to be 10 kHz.

Frequency detector is a circuit that converts the frequency to a digital representation and finds its application in various fields such as modulator and synchronization circuitry. In this paper, a couple of first-order and second-order frequency discriminator structures are modeled and analyzed with their quantization noise sources. Also a delta-sigma frequency detector architecture is proposed. Through theoretical analysis and derived equations, the output noise is obtained, which is validated by simulation. The proposed all-digital frequency discriminator may be applied in the feedback path of the all-digital phase-locked loop.
