A novel phase-locked loop(PLL) architecture of sub-micron locking time has been proposed. Input frequency is multiplied by using a delay-locked loop(DLL). The input frequency of a PLL is multiplied while the PLL is out of lock. The multiplied input frequency makes the PLL having a wider loop bandwidth. It has been simulated with a $0.18{\mu}m$ 1.8V CMOS process. The simulated locking time is $0.9{\mu}s$ at 162.5MHz and 2.6GHz, input and output frequency, respectively.

Agile frequency synthesizers are the common device used for commandable, wide-band frequency hopping in frequency-hopped (FH) communications. In this paper, synthesizer phase transient effect and its compensation methods in an FH/FSK(Frequency Hopped Frequency Shift Keying) system are studied. Models for these analysis are developed and resulting performance degradations are computed. The basic PLL is difficult to implement for fast frequency hopping in narrowband radio communication systems. To solve this problem, digital frequency synthesizer/CPM (Continuous Phase Modulation)modulator is proposed. And it's performance is analyzed theoretically. The analysis show that fast frequency hopping is possible in frequency hopping system that use digital frequency synthesizer/CPM modulator.

This paper presents a PLL(Phase Lock Loop) approach for effective speed and torque control of high speed miniature BLDCM(Brushless DC Motor) using hall sensor. The proposed speed control method based on PLL uses only a phase shift between reference pulse signal according to speed reference and actual pulse signal from hall sensor. It doesn't use any speed calculation, and calculates a direct current reference from phase shift. The current reference is changed to reduce the phase shift between reference and actual pulse. So the actual speed can keep the reference speed. The proposed control scheme is very simple but effective speed control is possible. In order to obtain a smooth torque production, the reference current is changed using acceleration and deceleration slope. The proposed control scheme is verified by experimental results of the 50W, 40,000[rpm] high speed miniature BLDCM.

High data-rate underwater communications is demanded. This demand imposes stringent requirements on underwater communication equipment of phase-locked-loop (PLL). Phase noise in PLL is unwanted and unavoidable. In this paper, we investigate the PLL phase noise effect on high order QAM for underwater communication systems. The phase noise model using power spectral density is adopted for performance evaluation. The phase noise components considered in PLL are reference oscillator, voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), filter and divider. The filters in PLL noise are assumed to be second order active and passive low pass filters. Through simulation, we analyze the phase noise characteristics of the four components and then investigate the performance improvement factor of each component. Consequently, we derive specifications of VCO, phase detector, divider to meet performance requirement of high data-rate communication using QAM under phase noise influence.

In this paper, we represent an implementation of burst QPSK receiver for underwater acoustic communication. Transmitter sends 5,000 symbols at 25kHz frequency with 200 kHz D/A sampling rate. The received signal is sampled at 100 kHz. Implemented receiver acquires the frame synchronization, coarse symbol timing estimate, and coarse phase offset estimate using 32 symbol length preamble. The estimated phase offset is used to initiate of 2nd order PLL. The transmission experiment results show that PLL is a mandatory to compensate Doppler shift due to the variation of tidal current.

In the paper, the product-type PLL system, which is so suitable for synchronizing a single phase grid voltage is designed. The PLL system is modelled with the small signal analysis. Both the cut-off frequency of low pass filter and the optimal gain are derived by considering the transient response for synchronization as well as a distortion of synchronization signal. Through the simulation studies and experimental results, the transient response and ripple component of synchronization signal are investigated with a variation of both the cut-off frequency and gain in order to verify the performance of design.

In this paper, using phase locked loop(PLL) synthesizer, we introduce a novel but simple and low cost frequency modulation(FM) circuit of a flat peak frequency deviation fur modulation signal whose frequency covers from outside to inside of the loop-bandwidth of PLL. The FM circuit was basically designed to compensate an amount of feedback of the loop filter in PLL. The circuit also includes the capability of the adjustment of peak frequency deviation and of blocking the intereference with the loop filter. The designed circuit was successfully implemented and showed the flat frequency deviation as expected in the design. In addition, the novel measurement method of the wideband FM modulation index is suggested verified With the suggest measurement, it can be successfully shown the designed circuit has the expected frequency deviation.

A microwave oscillator stabilized by a phase-locked loop (PLL) is developed. The PLL system is chosen 'compared with the cavity stabilized oscillator in view of the domestic manufacturing, because special machining and materials are needed for the latter. A sampler with a low pass filter is shown to be used as a phase detector in the PLL, and the sampler capable of sampling up to 4GHz is developed for this use. Frequency stability of about 10-6 is obtained from the developed microwave oscillator, operating at 2.16 GHz with more than 120 milliwatts output power, Ivhereby a crystal oscillator operating at about 110MHz is used as a reference source in the PLL. The capturing range of this oscillator is extended up to its lock-in-range of about 10MHz by employing a search oscillator in the system.

In this paper, we focus our attention on the improvement of locking time and jitter parameter and propose the new structure of PLL which combined with the FVC, FOVI Matcher(FVC-Output and VCO-input Matching Circuit), Control Circuit and the conventional charge pump PLL. Using fast operation characteristics of the FVC, the circuit matching FVC-Output and VCO-input (FOVI Matcher) made to synchronize very fast. Fast locking time is usually required for application where the PLL has to settle rapidly if they switch from an idle mode to a normal mode and to track high-frequency data bit rate in data recovery systems. After a fast acqusition is achieved by the using the FVC, the conventional PLL operates for removing the phase error between the reference signal and the feedback signal. Therefore this structure can improve the trade-off between acquisition behavior and locked behavior.

PLLs have been widely used for many applications including communication systems. This paper presents a VCO with an improved negative skewed delay scheme and a PLL using this VCO. The proposed VCO and PLL are intended for replacing traditional LC oscillators and PLLs used in communication systems and other applications. The circuit designs of the VCO and PLL are based on 0.18um CMOS technology with 1.8V supply voltage. The proposed VCO employs subfeedback loops using pass-transistors and needs two opposite control voltages for the pass transistors. The subfeedback loops speed up oscillation depending on the control voltages and thus provide a high oscillation frequency. The two voltage controls have opposite frequency gain characteristics and result in low phase-noise. The 7-stage VCO in 0.18um CMOS technology operates from $3.2GHz\~6.3GHz$ with phase noise of about -128.8 dBc/Hz at 1MHz frequency onset. For 1.8V supply voltage, the current consumption is about 3.8mA. The proposed PLL has dual loop-filters for the proposed VCO. The PLL is operated at 5GHz with 1.8V supply voltage. These results indicate that the proposed VCO can be used for radio frequency operations replacing LC oscillators. The circuits have been designed and simulated using 0.18um TSMC library.
