지연고정루프는 위상고정루프에 비해 작은 지터 값을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 지연고정루프를 사용해서 지터를 줄이려는 연구는 꾸준히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 연구의 결과로 기본 구조를 변형하거나 또는 다양한 구조들을 첨가하여 지터 특성을 개선하였다. 이 논문에서는 지연고정루프에서 다양한 루프필터 구조를 적용하면 지터 특성이 향상될 수 있음을 보여준다. 다양한 루프필터가 적용된 지연고정루프는 1.8V $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계 하였다.

This paper presents a new rectifier with a bootstrapping technique to reduce the effective drop voltage. An all-digital delay locked loop (ADDLL) circuit was also applied to prevent the reverse leakage current. The proposed rectifier uses NMOS diode connected instead of PMOS to reduce the design size and improve the frequency respond. All the sub-circuits of ADDLL were designed with low power consumption to reduce the total power of the rectifier. The rectifier was implemented in CMOS $0.35{\mu}m$ technology. The peak power conversion efficiency was 76 % at an input frequency of 6.78MHz and a power level of 5W.

In this paper, the expressions of the estimated information of a single-phase enhanced phase-locked loop (EPLL), when input signal contains harmonics and a DC offset while the fundamental component takes step changes, are derived. The theoretical analysis results indicate that in the estimated information, the n^th-order harmonics cause n+1^th-order periodic ripples, and the DC offset causes a periodic ripple at the fundamental frequency. Step changes of the amplitude, phase angle and frequency of the fundamental component cause a transient periodic ripple at twice the frequency. These periodic ripples deteriorate the performance of the EPLL. A hybrid filter based EPLL (HF-EPLL) is proposed to eliminate these periodic ripples. A delay signal cancellation filter is set at the input of the EPLL to cancel the DC offset and even-order harmonics. A sliding Goertzel transform-based filter is introduced into the amplitude estimation loop and frequency estimation loop to eliminate the periodic ripples caused by the residual input odd-order harmonics and step change of the input fundamental component. The parameter design rules of the two filters are discussed in detail. Experimental waveforms of both the conventional EPLL and the proposed HF-EPLL are given and compared with each other to verify the theoretical analysis and advantages of the proposed HF-EPLL.

In this paper, we develop design procedures for carrier tracking loop for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems or other systems of blocked data. In such communication systems, phase error measurements are made infrequent enough to invalidate the traditional loop design methodology which is based on analog loop design. We analyze the degradation in the OFDM schemes caused by the tracking loop and show how the performance is dependent on the rms phase error, where we distinguished between the effect of the variance in the average phase over the symbol and the effect of the phase change over the symbol. We derive the optimal tracking loop including optional delay in the loop caused by processing time. Our solution is general and includes arbitrary phase noise apd additive noise spectrums. In order to guarantee a well behaved solution, we have to check the design against margin constraints subject to uncertainties. In case the optimal loop does not meet the required margin constraints subjected to uncertainties, it is shown how to apply a method taken from control theory to find a controller. Alternatively, if we restrict the solution to first or second order loops, we give a simple loop design procedure which may be sufficient in many cases. Extensions of the method are shown for using both pilot symbols and data symbols in the OFDM receiver for phase tracking. We compare our results to other methods commonly used in OFDM receivers and we show that a large improvement can be gained.

High-performance Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) are critical for grid synchronization in grid-tied power electronic applications. In this paper, a new single-phase All Digital Phase-Locked Loop (ADPLL) is proposed. It features fast transient response and good robustness under distorted grid conditions. It is designed for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation. As a result, a high sampling frequency of 1MHz can be obtained. In addition, a new OSG is adopted to track the power frequency, improve the harmonic rejection and remove the dc offset. Unlike previous methods, it avoids extra feedback loop, which results in an enlarged system bandwidth, enhanced stability and improved dynamic performance. In this case, a new parameter optimization method with consideration of loop delay is employed to achieve a fast dynamic response and guarantee accuracy. The Phase Detector (PD) and Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) are realized by a Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm and a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) block, respectively. The whole PLL system is finally produced on a FPGA. A theoretical analysis and experiments under various distorted grid conditions, including voltage sag, phase jump, frequency step, harmonics distortion, dc offset and combined disturbances, are also presented to verify the fast dynamic response and good robustness of the ADPLL.

For three-phase synchronization applications, the synchronous reference frame phase-locked loop (SRF-PLL) is probably the most widely used technique due to its ease of implementation and satisfactory phase tracking performance under ideal grid conditions. However, under unbalanced and distorted grid conditions, its performance tends to worsen. To deal with this problem, a variety of filtering stages have been proposed and used in SRF-PLLs for the rejection of disturbance components at the cost of degrading the dynamic performance. In this paper, to improve dynamic performance without compromising the filtering capability, an effective hybrid filtering stage is proposed and incorporated into the inner loop of a quasi-type-1 PLL (QT1-PLL). The proposed filtering stage is a combination of a moving average filter (MAF) and a modified delay signal cancellation (DSC) operator in cascade. The time delay caused by the proposed filtering stage is smaller than that in the conventional MAF-based and DSC-based PLLs. A small-signal model of the proposed PLL is derived. The stability is analyzed and parameters design guidelines are given. The effectiveness of the proposed PLL is confirmed through experimental results.

본 논문에서는 낮은 지터를 갖는 지연고정루프를 이용하여 좀 더 정확한 출력을 갖는 클럭 발생기를 제안하였다. 제안된 클럭 발생기에 사용된 지연고정루프는 열 개의 지연단을 가진 전압제어지연단(VCDL)을 사용하며, 기준 지연단의 출력신호와 이전 지연단의 출력신호를 비교하여 위상차에 해당하는 만큼의 전압을 발생시켜 지연단의 제어전압으로 인가된다. 이 제어전압은 지연단의 출력신호의 위상이 흔들림에 따라 증가하거나 감소하여 출력신호의 지연정도를 조절하여 위상변화를 보상하며, 지연고정루프 출력신호 및 체배 된 출력신호의 지터를 감소시킨다. 제안된 클럭 발생기는 1.8V $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하여, 100MHz를 입력신호로 인가 할 경우 1GHz의 신호가 출력 되도록 설계 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 출력 신호의 peak-to-peak 지터 값은 3.24ps이었다.

In this paper, effect of imperfect power control on performance of a pseudonoise (PN) code tracking loop is analyzed and simulated for a direct-sequence/code-division multiple access (DS/CDMA) system. The multipath fading channel is modeled as a two-ray Rayleigh fading model. Power control error is modeled as a log-normally distributed random variable. The tracking performance of DLL (delay-locked-loop) is evaluated in terms of tracking jitter and mean-time-to-lose-lock (MTLL). From the simulation results, it is shown that the PN tracking performance is very sensitive to the power control error.
