A Four State Rotational Frequency Detector for Fast Frequency Acquisition

Fast Frequency Acquisition Phase Frequency Detector with Minimal Dead Zone for High Frequency Phase Lock Loop

This paper introduces a new-type Phase-Frequency Detector (PFD) for Charge-Pump based Phase-Looked-loops (CPPLLs). Dead zone in a phase-frequency detector reduces the input detection range and make worse cycle slips. This brief analyzes the blind zone in latch-based PFDs and proposes a technique that removes the blind zone caused by the pre-charge time of the internal nodes. With the proposed t...

Frequency detector for fast frequency lock of digital PLLs

Introduction: A wide tuning range for a PLL can be achieved by incorporating a frequency-locked loop (FLL) in parallel with the PLL. The key building block of an FLL is the frequency detector (FD) that determines the difference between the oscillator’s divided clock (CKV) and the reference clock (REF). There are many ways to accomplish frequency lock in digital PLLs, but all of them suffer from...

Phase Frequency Detector Using Transmission Gates for High Speed Applications

In this paper a new phase-frequency detector is proposed using transmission gates which can detect phase difference less than 500ps. In other word, the proposed Phase-frequency Detector (PFD) can work in frequencies higher than 1.7 GHz, whereas a conventional PFD operates at frequencies less than 1.1 GHz. This new architecture is designed in TSMC 0.13um CMOS Technology. Also, the proposed PFD a...

Rotational Frequency Shift

The notion of the rotational frequency shift, an analog of the Doppler shift, is introduced. This new frequency shift occurs for atomic systems that lack rotational invariance, but have stationary states in a rotating frame. The rotational frequency shift is given by the scalar product of the angular velocity and the angular momentum of the emitted photon in full analogy with the standard Doppl...
