    摘要: An active inductor circuit includes a primary and a secondary coil and a drive circuit monolithically integrated on a common substrate to provide high-Q inductors. Each inductor circuit comprises a primary coil which carries a first current that varies with an RF input signal, and a secondary coil which carries a second current that varies with the RF input; an on-chip current source provides the second current. The inductor circuit is arranged such that there is a fixed phase difference of approximately 90° between the first and second currents, and such that the magnetic field induced by the second current compensates for energy that would otherwise be dissipated by the primary coil. When the second current is properly selected, the inductor circuit's input impedance is made purely imaginary, such that the circuit emulates an ideal inductor at a particular frequency.

    摘要: A phase lock loop includes a calibration loop for calibrating a tank circuit for capacitance variation through process variations of manufacturing an integrated circuit including the phase lock loop. A capacitance profile for setting the frequency of the phase lock loop at a process corner, such as a typical process corner is stored in driver software or a host processor. At power up, or after an idle time, a calibration is performed at two frequencies. The capacitances of operating the phase lock loop at the two frequencies are determined and stored. During a frequency change, the capacitance of operating the phase lock loop is determined from the capacitance profile and stored capacitances. In one aspect, the capacitance of the phase lock loop is presumed to change linearly with frequency and the two stored capacitances are used to determine a difference capacitance at the selected frequency by linear interpolating between the two stored capacitances. The interpolated difference capacitance is added to the capacitance in the capacitance profile at the selected frequency to generate an operating capacitance. The capacitance of a tank circuit of the phase lock loop is set to the operating capacitance.

    摘要: A phase lock loop (PLL) includes a calibration loop for calibrating a tank circuit for capacitance variation through process variations of manufacturing an integrated circuit including the PLL. A capacitance profile for setting the frequency of the PLL at a process comer is stored. At power up, or after an idle time, a calibration is performed at two frequencies. The capacitances of operating the phase lock loop at the two frequencies are determined and stored. During a frequency change, the capacitance of operating the PLL is determined from the capacitance profile and stored capacitances.

    摘要: An automotive radar device and an antenna cover are disclosed. The automotive radar device includes a base, an antenna disposed on the base, and the antenna cover. The antenna cover includes a main portion and an engagement portion connected to the circumference of the main portion. The engagement portion can be engaged to the base such that the main portion covers the antenna. Therein, a thickness of the main portion along a radiation direction of the antenna is equal to half-wavelength corresponding to a center operation frequency of the antenna under a dielectric constant of the main portion. Thereby, energy radiated from the antenna can mostly pass through the main portion without excessive signal attenuation, which solves the insufficient signal intensity due to a protection cover in the prior art. Further, the main portion can be made of flexible and weather resistant material to improve its physical and chemical properties.
