摘要： Local oscillator circuitry for an antenna array is disclosed. The circuitry includes an array of rotary traveling wave oscillators which are arranged in a pattern over an area and coupled so as to make them coherent. This provides for a set of phase synchronous local oscillators distributed over a large area. The array also includes a plurality of phase shifters each of which is connected to one of the rotary oscillators to provide a phase shifted local oscillator for the array. The phase shifter optionally includes a cycle counter that is configured to count cycles of the rotary oscillator to which it is connected and control circuitry that is then operative to provide a shifted rotary oscillator output based on the count from the cycle counter. A system and method for operating a true-time delay phased array antenna system. The system includes a plurality of antenna element circuits for driving or receiving an rf signal from the elements of the array. Each element circuit has a transmit and a receive path and a local multiphase oscillator, such as a rotary traveling wave oscillator. Each path has an analog delay line for providing a true-time delay for the antenna element. Preferably, the analog delay line is a charge coupled device whose control nodes are connected to phases of the local multiphase oscillator to implement a delay that is an integer number local multiphase oscillator periods. A fractional delay is also included in the path by using a sample and hold circuit connected to a particular phase of the oscillator. By delaying each antenna element by a true time delay, broadband operation of the array is possible.

摘要： An inerting system for an aircraft fuel tank (10) uses an air separation device (12) to produce a supply of nitrogen-enriched air to replenish the fuel tank on consumption of fuel and to maintain the pressure difference across the walls of the tank (10) below design limits. The air separation device (12) provides substantially the whole of the mass of the gas required and so there is substantially no inward venting. This provides a substantially homogenous nitrogen content in the air in the tank (10).

摘要： A frequency divider using a clock source with a plurality of phase signals of a multi-phase oscillator. In one version, the divider includes a plurality of spot-moving stages that are connected to form a ring. Spot-moving stages are stages that advance a one or a zero, while clearing the previous stage. Depending on the number of stages and the number of phases of the clock to advance a spot through all of the stages, a divider ratio is determined. In another embodiment, a plurality of latch elements is provided with a divided input and each is re-clocked with the phases of a multi-phase oscillator. The outputs of the latch elements are combined in a capacitor array to create the output waveform. An interpolator useful in conjunction with a frequency divider is also disclosed. When the interpolator is placed in the feedback path of a PLL, a fractional frequency multiplier/divider results.

摘要： A clock distribution system that includes a length of two-conductor transmission line driven differentially at one end and terminated at the other end, a plurality of regeneration devices, and a plurality of regeneration device pairs. The two-conductor transmission line is arranged in a serpentine configuration with a number of locations at which portions of the transmission line come physically close to each other. The regeneration devices are located at various spaced-apart positions on the transmission line and operate to provide energy to a wave traveling on the transmission line. Each of the regeneration device pairs is connected between the transmission line portions that are physically close to each other so as to cause a traveling wave on adjacent portions of the line to have opposite phases.

摘要： System and method for converting an analog voltage to a digital signal. The system includes an input voltage sampler, a ramp generator, a comparator, a time-to-digital converter (TDC), and a multiphase oscillator, preferably a rotary traveling wave oscillator, that provides the critical system timing. The phases of the multiphase oscillator define a sampling interval during which the input voltage is sampled and held and a conversion interval during which the ramp generator, comparator, and TDC operate to convert the sampled voltage to the digital signal. The TDC samples at times provided by the phases of the multiphase oscillator to form the bits of the digital signal. The sampler, ramp generator, and comparator can be constructed from multiple fragments, one of which is selectable for calibration while the rest of the fragments are joined for normal operation. Multiple converters can be interleaved to increase the sampling rate.
