This paper describes a charge pump PLL architecture which achieves high frequency operation and fast acquisition. This architecture employs multi-phase frequency detector comprised of precharge type phase frequency detector and conventional phase frequency detector. Operation frequency is increased by using precharge type phase frequency detector when the phase difference is small and acquisition time is shortened by using conventional phase frequency detector and increased charge pump current when the phase difference is large. By virtue of this multi-phase frequency detector structure, the maximum operating frequency of 694MHz at 3.0V and faster acquisition were achieved by simulation.

The proposed detector is consists of three-phase sinusoidal signal generator and peak detector. This peak detector can detect the peak voltage value at the state of variable frequency. In experi-ment three-phase sinusoidal signals are generated from D/A converter using IBM PC and deliv-ered to the peak detector. Each signals are squared by multiplier and summed up Peak value is the square root of summed value extracted by square root circuit.

A frequency-locked loop(FLL) is a negative-feedback system that uses a frequency detector to improve the phase noise of a voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO). In this work, a theoretical analysis of the phase noise of a VCO in an FLL is presented. The analysis shows that the phase noise of the VCO follows the phase noise determined by the frequency detector and the loop filter within the FLL loop bandwidth, while the phase noise of the VCO appears outside the loop bandwidth. Therefore, it is possible to design an FLL that minimizes the phase noise of the VCO based on the theoretical analysis results. The theoretical phase noise results were verified through experiments.

A phase frequency detector(PFD) composed of logic circuits is widely used in a phase locked loop(PLL) due to the easy implementation for integrated circuits. A frequency locked loop(FLL) removes the reference oscillator in the PLL, and the resonator serves as a reference oscillator. A frequency detector(FD) is indispensable for the FLL configuration, and a FD, which is usually composed of a mixer is used to build an FLL. In this paper, instead of FD using mixer, a FD is constructed by using 1.175 GHz resonator composed of microstrip and PFD taking the versatility of PFD into consideration. Using the designed FD, FLL oscillating at a frequency of 1.175 GHz is composed. As a result of comparison with the FLL composed of FD using mixer, it was confirmed that the proposed FLL has better phase noise performance than FLL using mixer FD with FLL bandwidth.

This paper proposes a new rotational frequency detector (RFD) for phase-locked loop (PLL) or clock and data recovery (CDR) applications for fast frequency acquisition. The proposed RFD uses the four states finite state machine (FSM) model to accelerate the frequency acquisition time. It is modeled and simulated with MATLAB Simulink. The functionalities of the proposed RFD are examined and the results are compared to those of a conventional RFD. The proposed RFD's frequency acquisition time is four times faster than that of a conventional one. The proposed RFD incorporated with a phase detector (PD) in PLL or CDR is expected to improve the frequency and phase acquisition performance later greatly.

The pull-out frequency of a second-order phase lock loop (PLL) is an important parameter that quantifies the loop's ability to stay frequency locked under abrupt changes in the reference input frequency. In most cases, this must be determined numerically or approximated using asymptotic techniques, both of which require special knowledge, skills, and tools. An approximating formula is derived analytically for computing the pull-out frequency for a second-order Type II PLL that employs a sinusoidal characteristic phase detector. The pull-out frequency of such PLLs can be easily approximated to satisfactory accuracy with this formula using a modern scientific calculator.

A new phase frequency detector based digital phase-locked loop (PLL) of 125 MHz was designed using the 130 nm CMOS technology library consisting of inverting edge detectors along with a typical digital phase-locked loop to reduce the lock time and jitter for mid-frequency applications. XOR based inverting edge detectors were used to obtain a transition earlier than the reference signal to change the output more quickly. The HSPICE simulator was used in a Cadence environment for simulation. The performance of the digital phase-locked loops with the proposed phase frequency detector was compared with that of conventional phase frequency detector. The PLL with the proposed detector took $0.304{\mu}s$ to lock with a maximum jitter of approximately 0.1142 ns, whereas the conventional PLL took a minimum of $2.144{\mu}s$ to lock with a maximum jitter of approximately 0.1245 ns.

A Quadrature phase detector for high-speed delay-locked loop is introduced. The proposed Quadrature phase detector is composed of two nor gates and it determines if the phase difference of two input clocks is 90 degrees or not. The delay locked loop circuit including the Quadrature phase detector is fabricated in a 0.18 um Standard CMOS process and it operates at 5 GHz frequency. The phase error of the delay-locked loop is maximum 2 degrees and the circuits are robust with voltage, temperature variations.

This paper presents a new active antenna consisting of a microstrip patch for the passive radiator, a mixer for frequency conversion, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and a phase detector for phase control. The microwave signal frequency has been converted into intermediate frequency (IF) on the antenna elements by the mixer. The active antenna consists of two ports, the IF port has a transmitted IF signal via power combined to the baseband and the dc control port is under the control of the phase-detector. The input voltage of the VCO is controlled by the phase detector. The scan range of the array is determined by the phase detector and the VCO and is obtained between 30$^{\circ}$ and - 30$^{\circ}$
