Abstract: A circuit is configured to reduce a noise component of a measured phase signal. The circuit includes an input for a phase signal of an oscillator and an error signal estimator configured to determine parity information and an estimated error amplitude in the phase signal based on the parity information. The circuit further includes a combiner configured to provide the measured phase signal with the reduced noise component based on a combination of the phase signal and the estimated error amplitude.

Abstract: Aspects of a digital phase-lock loop (DPLL) with an adjustable delay between an output clock and a reference clock in accordance with phase noise compensation are generally described herein. An apparatus may include processing circuitry configured to, in a first mode, identify a delay element of a plurality of delay elements based on an associated delay value, and set an initial phase difference value to a phase difference value associated with the identified delay element. The processor circuitry may be further configured to, in a second mode, in a second mode, initialize the DPLL using the initial phase difference value, determine a phase error between a reference clock and a feedback clock based on the initial phase difference value, adjust an output clock signal based on the phase error.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries for synchronizing a first phase locked loop (PLL) with a second PLL are provided. In one example a PLL system includes a first PLL configured to generate a first signal; a second PLL configured to generate a second signal; and phase calculation circuitry. The phase calculation circuitry is configured to calculate a phase of the first signal at a given time; and provide the calculated phase to the second PLL for use by the second PLL in synchronizing a phase of the second with the phase of the first signal.

Abstract: Embodiments of a reference path circuit and communication device are generally described herein. The reference path circuit may include an injection locked multiplier (ILM) and a group of one or more buffer amplifiers. The ILM may receive a sinusoidal reference signal from a reference oscillator at a reference frequency. The ILM may generate a sinusoidal ILM output signal at an ILM output frequency that is based on an integer multiple of the reference frequency. The integer multiple of the reference frequency may be within a locking range of the ILM that may be based on a resonant frequency of the ILM. The group of one or more buffer amplifiers may generate an output clock signal for input to the frequency synthesizer. The output clock signal may be based on a sign function of the ILM output signal.

Abstract: A digital phase lock loop (DPLL) device or system can operate to analyze and estimate a deterministic jitter in the digital domain, while correcting for it in the analog domain. A reference oscillator can provide an analog reference signal to the DPLL via a reference path. A shaper of the reference path can process the analog reference signal and provide a digital signal to a doubler component that doubles the frequency for a digital reference signal. The doubler component itself can add deterministic jitter to the noise of the digital reference signal it provides to the DPLL. An estimation of the DPLL performs various calibration processes to determine the deterministic jitter in the digital domain and provide an analog bias signal to the signal shaper component to correct for the deterministic jitter, keeping it at around zero.
