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.

A low-power low-cost polar transmitter for EDGE is designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS. A differential delta-sigma modulator (DSM) tunes a three-terminal voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to perform RF phase modulation, where the VCO tuning curve is digitally pre-compensated for high linearity and the carrier frequency is calibrated by a dual-mode low-power frequency-locked loop (FLL). A digital intermediate-frequency (IF) pulse-width5 modulator (PWM) drives a complementary power-switch followed by an LC filter to achieve envelope modulation with high efficiency. The proposed transmitter with 9mW power dissipation relaxes the time alignment between the phase and envelope modulations, and achieves an error vector magnitude (EVM) of 4% and phase noise of -123dBc/Hz at 400kHz offset frequency.

본 논문에서는 위상/주파수 검출기을 설계시 문제가 되는 Reference Spur을 없게 하여 Low Noise를 구현할 수 있는 No Spike PFD(Phase Frequency Detector)를 제안한다. 위상동기루프의 특별한 형태로 차지 펌프 위상동기루프가 있다. 차지 펌프위상동기 루프는 일반적으로 3-state 위상/주파수 검출기를 이용한다. 이 3-state 위상/주파수 검출기는 기준 신호와 VCO 출력 신호의 위상차에 비례하는 디지털 파형으로 출력을 내보낸다. 차지 펌프 위상동기루프 그림 1 처럼 디지털 위상/주파수 검출기(PFD), 차지 펌프(CP), 루프 필터(LF), VCO로 구성된다. PFD 는 기준 신호와 VCO 에 의해 만들어진 출력 신호를 입력받아 각각의 위상과 주파수를 비교한다. 즉, 출력 신호가 기준 신호보다 느릴 때에는 출력 신호를 앞으로 당기기 위해서 up 신호를 넘겨주고, 출력 신호가 기준 신호보다 빠를 때에는 출력 신호를 뒤로 밀기 위해 down 신호를 넘겨준다. 차지 펌프(CP)의 전류를 Ip 라고 한다면, CP 에서 LF 로 흐르거나, LF에서 CP로 흐르는 전류 Ip의 평균량이 기준 신호와 VCO 출력 신호의 위상차에 비례하는 것이다.

In this paper, we present a phase coherent all-digital transceiver for underwater acoustic communication, which allows the system to reduce complexity and increase robustness in time variant underwater environments. It is designed in the digital domain except for transducers and amplifiers and implemented by using a multiple digital signal processors (DSPs) system. For phase coherent reception, conventional systems employed phase-locked loop (PLL) and delay-locked loop (DLL) for synchronization, but this paper suggests a frame synchronization scheme based on the quadrature receiver structure without using phase information. We show experimental results in the underwater anechoic basin at MOERI. The results show that the adaptive equalizer compensates frame synchronization error and the correction capability is dependent on the length of equalizer.

This paper proposes a frequency-locked loop (FLL) scheme for a single-phase grid-connected converter. A second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) based on fuzzy logic (FL) is applied to this converter to achieve precise phase angle detection. The use of this method enables the compensation of the nonlinear characteristic of the frequency error, which is defined in the SOGI scheme as the variation of the central frequency through the self-tuning gain. With the proposed scheme, the performance of the SOGI-FLL is further improved at the grid disturbances, which results in the stable operation of the grid converter under grid voltage sags or frequency variation. The PSIM simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The FLL(frequency locked loop) circuit is used to generate an output signal that tracks an input reference signal. The locking time of FLL is short compared to PLL(phase locked loop) circuit because the output signal of FLL is synchronized only in frequency. Also the FLL is designed to allow the circuit to be fully integrated. In this paper, the temperature stable FLL circuit is designed by using full CMOS transistors. When the temperature is varied from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$, the variation of output frequency is about from -2% to 1.6% from HSPICE simulation results.

In this paper, the temperature characteristics of full CMOS FLL(frequency locked loop) re analyzed. The FLL circuit is used to generate an output signal that tracks an input efference signal. The locking time of FLL is short compared to PLL(phase locked loop) circuit because the output signal of FLL is synchronized only in frequency. Also the FLL s designed to allow the circuit to be fully integrated. The FLL circuit is composed two VCs, two buffers, a VCO and two frequency dividers. The temperature variation of frequency divider, FVC and buffer cancelled because the circuit structure. is the same and he temperature effect is cancelled by the comparator. Simulation results are shown to illustrate the performance of the designed FLL circuit with temperature.

In this Paper new results relating to the acquisition behavior of a class of first-and secondorder digital phase-locked loops (DPLL) originally proposed by Reddy and Cupta are presented in the absence of noise. It has been found that the number of quantization levels L and the number of phase error states N play important roles in acquisition. For a given L-level quantizer, as N increases, the acquisition time increases, and the lock range decreases. However, the deviation of the steady state phase error decreases in this case. When L increases, the acquisition time decreases, and the lock range increases. However, variation of L affects little for the steady state phase error. In addition, the effects of a loop filter on acquisition have also been considered. One can get smaller acquisition time and larger lock range as the filter parameter value becomes larger. However, deviation of the steady state phase error increases in that case. Analytical results have been verified by computer simulation.

In this paper, X-band satellite communication oscillator of double phase locked is implemented by constructing a couple of phased-locked loop, and then we have analyzed the phase noise of designed PLL-DRO. The designed phase-locked oscillator is consist of series feedback DRO, frequency divider, phase detector, loop filter and programmable PLL-IC. By dividing oscillation frequency of 12.6 GHz into two frequencies, it exhibits output power of 15.32 dBm at 6.3 GHz. Phase noises of implemented oscillator are -81 dBc/Hz@100Hz, -100.86 dBc/Hz@1 kHz, -111.12 dBc/Hz@10 kHz, -116 dBc/Hz@100 kHz and -140.49 dBc/Hz@1 MHz respectively. These indicate excellent stable operation of oscillator and very good phase noise characteristics.

A novel structure of phase locked loop (PLL) which has small size with D Flip-Flop and sub charge pump has been proposed. The area of loop filter usually occupying the larger portion of the chip is minimized using a single small capacitor. It has been simulated and proved by HSPICE in a CMOS $0.18{\mu}m$ 1.8V process.
