It is very important to get very high switching speed as well as low phase noise of frequency synthesizer in the OFDM/FH communication system. In this paper we compare the phase noises and switching speeds of the conventional PLL and digital hybrid PLL(DH-PLL) frequency synthesizer, also, we investigate the effect of phase noise on the performance of OFDM/FH communication system. DH-PLL has high switching speed property at the cost of circuit complexity and more power consumption. Unlike the conventional PLL in which the phase noise and switching speed have the trade off relationship in respect of loop filter bandwidth, DH-PLL frequency synthesizer can perform fast switching speed and low phase noise simultaneously. Under the condition of same hopping speed requirement, DH-PLL can achieve faster switching speed and lower SNR penalty compared with conventional PLL in the OFDM/FH communication system.

This paper is related to the method of adding a emotional speech corpus to a high-quality large corpus based speech synthesizer, and generating various synthesized speech. We made the emotional speech corpus as a form which can be used in waveform concatenated speech synthesizer, and have implemented the speech synthesizer that can be generated various synthesized speech through the same synthetic unit selection process of normal speech synthesizer. We used a markup language for emotional input text. Emotional speech is generated when the input text is matched as much as the length of intonation phrase in emotional speech corpus, but in the other case normal speech is generated. The BIs(Break Index) of emotional speech is more irregular than normal speech. Therefore, it becomes difficult to use the BIs generated in a synthesizer as it is. In order to solve this problem we applied the Variable Break[3] modeling. We used the Japanese speech synthesizer for experiment. As a result we obtained the natural emotional synthesized speech using the break prediction module for normal speech synthesize.

본 논문에서는 PLL 주파수 합성기를 이용한 900 MHz 대역의 무선 마이크용 송신기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 위상잡음을 고려한 주파수 합성기는 VCO, Loop Filter 및 RF 중폭부로 구성한 후 HP EEsof ADS ver. 1.3을 이용하여 설계하였다. VCO는 구조가 간단하며 변조가 용이한 직접변조방식을 사용하였으며 Loop Filter는 주파수 합성기의 기준 고조파 성분을 낮추기 위해 수동 3차 필터를 사용하였다. 주파수 대역 928.125 MHz～929.875 MHz 내에서 채널간격 125 kHz를 갖으며 15개의 채널이 되도록 분주비를 설정한 주파수 합성기는 제작 결과, 송신기 출력 9.3 dBm과 위상잡음이 100 kHz에서 -113 dBc/Hz 이하의 위상잡음 특성을 나타내었고 불요주파수 특성은 -80 dBc 이하의 특성을 나타내었다.

In this paper, we propose the low fractional spur phase-locked loop(PLL) with multiple phase-frequency detector(PFD). The fractional spurs are suppressed by using a new PFD. The new PFD architecture with two different edge detection methods is used to suppress the fractional spur by limiting a maximum width of the output signals of PFD. The proposed PLL was simulated by HSPICE using a 0.35m CMOS parameters. The simulation results show that the proposed PLL is able to suppress fractional spurs with fast locking.

제작된 합성기를 평가하는데는 많은 노력과 시간이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 평가 과정을 정규화 해줄 수 있는 평가용 워크스테이션을 PC를 이용하여 작성하는데 필요한 요소들을 제안하고 진행중인 구성과정을 제시한다. 합성기 평가용 워크스테이션은 복잡하고 번거로운 합성기 평가과정을 균일하게 유지시켜 줄 수 있게 해 줌으로써 합성기의 평가 및 개발 기간을 단축 시키는데 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

Recently, frequency synthesizers are being designed in two ways narrow-band loop or dual-loop for wide-band to reduce the phase noise. However, dual-loop has the disadvantage of center frequency mismatch and requiring an extra loop. In this paper, we propose a new structure that supports a range of 800Mhz ~ 3Ghz with multiple control of the single-loop frequency synthesizer without another loop. The control voltage of the VCO(coarse, fine) will be fixed, and finally the VCO will have a low Kvco. The frequency synthesizer is simulated using UMC $0.11{\mu}m$ process, proposed frequency synthesizer can be used in a variety of applications in the future.

The phase noise characteristics of the phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer were predicted based on the analysis for phase noise contribution of noise sources. The proposed phase noise model in this paper more accurately predicts the phase noise spectrum of frequency synthesizer. To accurately model the phase noise contribution of noise sources in frequency synthesizer, the phase noise sources were analyzed via modeling of the frequency divider and phase noise components using Leeson model for reference signal source and VCO. The phase noise transfer functions to VCO from noise sources were analyzed by superposition theory and linear operation of phase-locked loop. To evaluate the phase noise prediction model, the frequency synthesizers were fabricated and were evaluated by measured data and prediction data.
