摘要： A substantially passive implementation of a clock recovery circuit may be employed to reduce or eliminate the amount of jitter added to the recovered clock by the recovery circuitry. NRZ data may be received in differential form (i.e., a separate NRZ signal and an inverted NRZ signal are received). The inverted NRZ data may be delayed by one-half of a unit interval with respect to the NRZ data by a delay element. The NRZ data and the delayed NRZ data may be combined by a broadband combiner (e.g., a resistive adder). The combined signal may be split into two signals. The two split signals may be rectified by suitable components. One of the limited split signals may be subtracted from the other limited split signal to generate an output signal. The generated output signal then possesses a spectral component at a clock frequency of the NRZ data.

摘要： In embodiment, the present invention is directed to a PLL phase demodulator that utilizes feed-forward error correction. The feed-forward error correction may occur by calibrating an equalizer to possess transfer function that emulates the modulation response curve of the VCO of the PLL phase demodulator. In operation, the equalizer may receive the filtered and integrated version of the error signal produced by the phase detector of the PLL. The equalizer filters the received signal according to the calibrated transfer function. The output of the equalized is provided to a adder to combine the equalized signal with the error signal produced by the phase detector. A similar arrangement including a suitably calibrated equalizer may be utilized to address phase tracking error in a PLL frequency demodulator.

摘要： An apparatus and method are disclosed for improving the stability of the frequency of vibration of an oscillator signal produced by an oscillator circuit. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a quartz crystal resonator is one arm of a bridge which generates a bridge signal which varies in accordance with the vibrating frequency of the resonator. A synchronous demodulator responds to the bridge signal for producing an error signal which is converted into a control signal. A control circuit receives the control signal and changes its reactance when the resonator is no longer vibrating at its unperturbed resonance frequency so that the vibration frequency of the resonator connected to the control circuit is returned to its resonant frequency. An automatic level control circuit is also included for controlling the drive level of the signal exciting the resonator.

摘要： A method and apparatus for synchronizing multiple-stage multiplexers are disclosed. According to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, multiplexer circuits in the multiple-stage multiplexer are synchronized based upon a frequency response of the output of the multiplexer. The power level of the output of the multiple-stage multiplexer is measured at a frequency corresponding to the input data rate of the multiple-stage multiplexer, during the time a test pattern is sent through the multiple-stage multiplexer. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the multiple-stage multiplexer is placed in substantially random states until the measured power level reaches the predetermined.

摘要： A frequency translating device (FTD) includes at least one light-activated resistor (LAR) connected to down-convert a radio frequency (RF) to an intermediate frequency (IF) and to up-convert an IF to an RF and a source of modulated light that is optically connected to the LAR. The source of modulated light is modulated in response to a local oscillator (LO) and the LAR is activated in response to the modulated light. Modulated light can be generated from a light source and an LO by, for example, directly modulating the light source, modulating a transmission switch that blocks the transmission of light to the LAR, or modulating a light path switch. The LAR-based FTD can be used as a reciprocal FTD to characterize another FTD in a three-pair measurement system. An FTD may include more than one LAR to form, for example, single-balanced and double-balanced LAR-based FTDs.

摘要： A circuit and method are disclosed for adjusting the clock skew in a synchronous system. The circuit and method include initially applying an offset voltage to a data input of a device in the system. Next, the clock skew between a device and a data source providing data thereto is adjusted to approximately 180 degrees, by selecting the clock skew resulting in an approximately maximum DC offset appearing at the output of the device. Thereafter, the clock skew is shifted from approximately 180 degrees to the desired clock skew amount.
