A 3-phase current controlled sinusoidal oscillator, tunable over a wide range of frequencies is presented. The oscillator comprises a ring of 3 cascaded differential Gm C low-pass filter stages, implemented in a fully translinear, NPN-only circuit. Closed-form analytical expressions are derived to quantify both frequency and amplitude tuning, as a function of two current biases. Experimental re...

Conduction time is typically ignored in computational models of neural network function. Here we consider the effects of conduction delays on the synchrony of neuronal activity and neural oscillators, and evaluate the consequences of allowing conduction velocity (CV) to be regulated adaptively. We propose that CV variation, mediated by myelin, could provide an important mechanism of activity-de...

In this research, a new explanation and design crystal oscillator based on injection locking phenomenon is proposed. The crystal oscillator is viewed as a regular oscillator whereas is ac small input signal is its forced function. In this work, a crystal is considered to be a very small sinusoidal signal generator. To guarantee that the injection locking phenomenon is occurred the frequency of ...

This paper proposes a high frequency ring oscillator with low power consumption. The proposed ring oscillator is based on Gated Ring Oscillator (GRO) by applying boot strap technique. Simulation results indicate that the FoM (Power Consumption /Oscillation Frequency) of the proposed ring oscillator is greater than that of the conventional ring oscillator. Figure 1 shows delay element using boot...

In this work we propose a self-adaptive clock based on a ring oscillator as the solution for the increasing uncertainty in the critical path delay. This uncertainty increase forces to add more safety margins to the clock period which produces a circuit performance downgrade. We evaluate three self-adaptive clock systems: free running ring oscillator, infinite impulse response filter controlled ...

 In this work, time domain analysis is used to solve Adler’s equation in order to obtain the required time, for an oscillator under external injection, reaching the steady-state condition. Mathematical approach has been applied to fully describe the transient of frequency acquisition in injection-locked LC and Ring oscillators considering their time-varying nature. Then, the analysis is verifie...

An experimental method, employing a scanning tunneling microscope ~STM! as an actuator and a scanning electron microscope ~SEM! as a motion detector, was developed to study microelectromechanical systems ~MEMS! and has been applied to study microfabricated cantilever beams. Vibrations actuated by an ac voltage applied to the piezodrive are transferred to the sample by the STM tip, which also pr...

AbsWuct-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an attractive technique for achieving high-bit-rate wireless communications. The performance of OFDM is severely affected by the nonlinearity of high-power amplifier at the transmitter end and the phase noise of the oscillator. We introduced partial I FFTIFFT and adaptive filtering to reduce the phase noise effect in OFDM. Using a few...

A theoretical spectroscopic analysis of a microwave driven superconducting charge qubit Cooper-pair box coupled to an RLC oscillator model is performed. By treating the oscillator as a probe through the backreaction effect of the qubit on the oscillator circuit, we extract frequency splitting features analogous to the AutlerTownes effect from quantum optics, thereby extending the analogies betw...
