Abstract:
The jitter reduction circuit to reduce phase noise in a pulse train, comprises: —a resettable integrator (70) to integrate the pulse train, —a comparator (72) to compare the integrated pulse train with a reference level and to generate a modified pulse train with reduced phase noise, —a crossing time interval detector (94) configured to determine a discrete time interval during which the integrated pulse train crosses the reference level and to reset the integrator between two discrete time intervals determined consecutively.

Method of manufacturing a MEMS device integrated in a silicon substrate. In parallel to the manufacturing of the MEMS device passive components as trench capacitors with a high capacitance density can be processed. The method is especially suited for MEMS resonators with resonance frequencies in the range of 10 MHz.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a process for arylating or vinylating or alkynating a nucleophilic compound. More particularly, the invention concerns arylating nitrogen-containing organic derivatives. The arylating or vinylating or alkynating process of the invention consists of reacting a nucleophilic compound with a compound carrying a leaving group and is characterized in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of an effective quantity of a catalyst based on a metallic element M selected from groups (VIII), (Ib) and (IIb) of the periodic table and at least one ligand comprising at least one imine function and at least one supplemental nitrogen atom as the chelating atoms.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a receiver of signals [S] received from a wireless network, said receiver working at a so-called reference oscillation frequency controlled by a so-called reference value [Vref]. Said receiver includes demodulation means [DEMO] for demodulating the received signal [S], means [EST] of estimating a mean value [MV] of the demodulated signal [SD], means [COR] of correcting the mean value [MV] of the demodulated signal [SD] to the reference value [Vref], decision means [DEC] for determining the binary values adopted by the received signal [S]. According to the invention, the estimation means [EST] include first means [ESTA] of fast extraction of a first mean value [MVA] of the demodulated signal [SD] used in decision means [DEC] during a first time period and second means [ESTB] of slow extraction of a second mean value [MVB] of the demodulated signal [SD] used in correction means [COR] and, during a second time period, in decision means [DEC].
Abstract:
A transmitter has a phase modulator and a phase locked loop that has a relatively high powered voltage controlled oscillator. The phase locked loop has a phase sensitive detector for comparing a phase comparison frequency derived from the voltage controlled oscillator output with a phase modulated intermediate frequency carrier derived from the phase modulator. The phase modulator has a reference frequency source, means for deriving four quadrature phase components of the reference frequency produced by the source and phase selection means controlled by complex modulation means for deriving the phase modulated intermediate frequency carrier by random interpolation between the four quadrature components.
