This letter proposes a low-jitter DLL-based clock generator with two negative feedback loops. The main negative feedback loops suppress the jitter of DLL. The additional negative feedback loops suppress the delay-time variance of each delay stages. Both two negative feedback loops in a DLL results in suppressing the jitter of clock signal further. Measurement results of the DLL-based clock generator with two negative feedback loops fabricated in a one-poly six-metal $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process show 5.127-ps rms jitter and 47.6-ps peak-to-peak jitter at 1 GHz.

본 논문에서는 3개의 부궤환 루프를 가진 저잡음 위상고정루프를 제안하였다. 기존 구조의 위상고정루프는 하나의 부궤환 루프로 구성되어 있어 잡음 특성 개선이 쉽지 않다. 추가된 부궤환 루프는 지터 특성을 결정하는 전압제어발진기의 입력 전압 크기를 줄여주는 역할을 하여 기존 구조로 쉽지 않은 잡음 특성 개선을 가능하게 해준다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 부궤환 루프가 추가될 때마다 지터 특성이 개선되는 것을 보여주고 있다. 전력의 경우 10% 정도 약간 상승하게 되지만, 지터 특성은 2배 정도 개선된다. 제안된 위상고정루프는 1.8V 180nm CMOS 공정을 이용하여 Hspice로 시뮬레이션 하였다.

추가적인 부궤환 루프를 가지는 연속 미세 조절 위상 고정루프를 소개하였다. 위상고정루프가 위상이 고정되지 않았을 때 위상고정루프는 연속적인 밴드 선택 루프를 통하여 빠르게 위상을 고정시키는 특성을 가지고 있다. 위상고정루프가 고정 상태에 다다랐을 때 밴드 폭은 미세한 루프를 통해서 좁아진다. 추가적인 부궤환 루프는 안정성과 위상여유 성능을 향상시킨다. 0.18um CMOS 공정으로 제작한 위상고정루프의 결과 측정은 위상 잡음이 742.8MHz 캐리어 주파수로부터 2MHz 오프셋 주파수에서 -109.6dBc/Hz을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 위상 고정 루프를 병렬 형태로 이중 루프를 구성하였다. 두 개의 루프를 통해서 전달 특성에 따라 원하는 크기의 대역폭을 만든다. 대역 폭의 형태는 동작하는 주파수 대역에서 잡음을 최소화 할 수 있는 위상 고정 루프를 설계하였다. 제안한 위상고정루프는 두 가지 필터를 제어하기 위하여 두 개의 기울기 값을 가지는 전압제어 발진기를 사용하였다. 또한 정확한 위상 고정을 위하여 위상 고정 상태 표시기를 사용하였다. 전체적인 위상 고정 루프가 안정적인 동작하기 위하여 각 각의 루프가 각각 $58.2^{\circ}$, $49.4^{\circ}$의 위상 여유를 가지고 있으며 두 개의 루프를 합쳤을 때에도 $45^{\circ}$이상의 안정적인 위상 여유를 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 제안된 위상 고정 루프는 1.8V 0.18um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계 되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 이중 루프를 가지고 위상고정루프의 구조가 원하는 출력 주파수를 생성하며 안정적으로 동작하는 것을 보여 주었다.

An investigation on thermohydraulic stability of flow oscillations in the CANada Deuterium Uranium-600(CANDU-6) heat transport system has been conducted. Flow oscillations in reactor coolant loops, comprising two heat sources and two heat sinks in series, are possibly caused by the response of the pressure to extraction of fluid in two-phase region. This response consists of two contributions, one arising from mass and another from enthalpy change in the two-phase region. The system computer code used in the investigation os SOPHT, which is capable of simulating steady states as well as transients with varying boundary conditions. The model was derived by linearizing and solving one-dimensional, homogeneous single- and two-phase flow conservation equations. The mass, energy and momentum equations with boundary conditions are set up throughout the system in matrix form based on a node-link structure. Loop stability was studied under full power conditions with interconnecting the two compressible two phase regions in the figure-of-eight circuit. The dominant function of the interconnecting pipe is the transfer of mass between the two-phase regions. Parametric survey of loop stability characteristics, i. e., damping ratio and period, has been made as a function of geometrical parameters of the interconnection line such as diameter, length, height and orifice flow coefficient. The stability characteristics with interconnection line has been clarified to provide a simple criterion to be used as a guide in scaling of the pipe.

This paper presents a gain and phase mismatch calibration technique for an image-reject RF receiver. The gain mismatch is calibrated by directly measuring the output signal amplitudes of two signal paths. The phase mismatch is calibrated by measuring the output amplitude of the final IF output at the image band. The calibration of the gain and phase mismatch is performed at power-up, and the normal operation of the RF receiver does not interfere with the mismatch calibration circuit. To verify the proposed technique, a 2.4-GHz Weaver image-reject receiver with the gain and phase mismatch calibration circuit is implemented in a 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The overall receiver achieves a voltage gain of 45 dB and a noise figure of 4.8 dB. The image rejection ratio(IRR) is improved from 31 dB to 59.76 dB even with 1 dB and $5^{\circ}$ mismatch in gain and phase, respectively.

In a three-phase system, three-phase AC signals can be translated into two-phase DC signals through a coordinate transformation. Thus, the PI regulator can realize a zero steady-state error for the DC signals. In the control of a three-phase grid-connected inverter, the phase angle of grid is normally detected by a phase-locked loop (PLL) and takes part in a coordinate transformation. A novel control strategy for a three-phase grid-connected inverter with a frequency-locked loop (FLL) based on coordinate transformation is proposed in this paper. The inverter is controlled as a current supply. The grid angle, which takes part in the coordinate transformation, is replaced by a periodic linear changing angle from $-{\pi}$ to ${\pi}$. The changing angle has the same frequency but a different phase than the grid angle. The frequency of the changing angle tracks the grid frequency by the negative feedback of the reactive power, which forms a FLL. The control strategy applies to non-ideal grids and it is a lot simpler than the control strategies with a PLL that are applied to non-ideal grids. The structure of the FLL is established. The principle and advantages of the proposed control strategy are discussed. The theoretical analysis is confirmed by experimental results.
