摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for syntonizing machines in a network. A coordinator accesses probe records for probes transmitted at different times between pairs of machines in the mesh network. For different pairs of machines, the coordinator estimates the drift between the pair of machines based on the transit times of probes transmitted between the pair of machines as indicated by the probe records. For different loops of at least three machines in the mesh network, the coordinator calculates a loop drift error based on a sum of the estimated drifts between pairs of machines around the loop and adjusts the estimated absolute drifts of the machines based on the loop drift errors. Here, the absolute drift is defined relative to a drift of a reference machine.

摘要: A voltage-controlled oscillator in a phase-locked loop circuit is calibrated via a dichotomous search in a set of candidate frequency bands via a sequence of subsequent halving steps that produce reduced subsets of the set of candidate frequency bands. The reduced subsets have respective upper bound values and lower bound values, as well as central values. The central value of the subset resulting from the halving step of index i in the sequence is a function of the average of the upper bound value and the lower bound value of the subset resulting from the halving step of index i−1 in the sequence.

摘要: A phase-locked loop (PLL) includes a phase-frequency detector (PFD) having a first PFD input, a second PFD input, and a PFD output. The PFD is configured to generate a first signal on the PFD output. The first signal comprises pulses having pulse widths indicative of a phase difference between signals on the first and second PFD inputs. A low pass filter (LPF) has an LPF input and an LPF output. The LPF input is coupled to the PFD output. A flip-flop has a clock input and a flip-flop output. The clock input is coupled to the LPF output. A lock-slip control circuit is coupled to the flip-flop output and to the first PFD input. The lock-slip control circuit is configured to determine phase-lock and phase-slip based at least in part on a signal on the flip-flop output.

The frequency search circuit is configured to measure a first frequency of the clock signal for a first clock control signal, measure a second frequency of a second signal for a second clock control signal, and determine, based on the first frequency, the second frequency, the first clock control signal, and the second clock control signal, a third clock control signal corresponding to a programmed frequency, the third clock control signal for causing the clock signal to have a frequency based on the programmed frequency. The analog control loop is configured to control the oscillator to cause the frequency to converge to the programmed frequency.

摘要: An apparatus is disclosed for provision of an indication of an angular difference between first and second input signals. The apparatus comprises a phase frequency detector (PFD) configured to receive the first and second input signals and to provide first and second outputs based on the first and second input signals. A difference in pulse length between signals provided at the first and second outputs is indicative of the phase difference between the first and second input signals. The apparatus also comprises first and second time-to-digital converters (TDCs) each configured to receive one of the signals provided by the PFD and to provide a corresponding digital pulse length representation. Each of the TDCs is a pulse length modifying TDC, wherein pulse length modification may comprise pulse length shrinking or pulse length extension. The apparatus also comprises a comparator configured to provide the indication of the phase difference based on the digital pulse length representations provided by the first and second TDCs. Corresponding digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) and communication device are also disclosed.
