Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a buffer circuit that includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first and second circuits include sets of transistors along pairs of related signal paths, each of the transistors being driven in response to two related input signals having different but related phases. The first circuit generates a first related output signal in response to one of the pairs of related signal paths and the second circuit generates a second output signal in response to another of the pairs of related signal paths. The first and second circuits provide a linear transfer function across one of the first and one of the second sets of transistors via one of the first pair and second pair of related signal paths.

Abstract: Radar System The disclosure relates to a radar system having multiple radar transceiver modules, in which each module has a clock signal that is synchronised with a clock signal generated by a leader transceiver module. Example embodiments include a radar system (400) comprising a plurality of radar transceiver modules (401, 402) mounted to a common PCB (404), the plurality of radar transceiver modules comprising a leader module (401) and one or more follower modules (402), the leader module (401) comprising a first oscillator (403) configured to provide a first clock signal at a first frequency to each follower module (402), each of the leader and follower modules comprising a phase locked loop, PLL, clock signal generator (300), the PLL clock signal generator (300) comprising a divide by n clock divider (304) arranged to output 2n phase shifted clock signals (314) at a third frequency and a multiplexer (306) connected to receive the 2n phase shifted clock signals from the divide by n clock divider (304) and output a third clock signal (308) selected by an input phase select signal (307).

Abstract: A system includes a phase-shift to duty-cycle converter and a low pass filter. The phase-shift to duty-cycle converter has a first input for a reference clock and a second input for a phase-shifted clock that is phase-shifted relative to the reference clock. The low pass filter has an input coupled to an output of the phase-shift to duty-cycle converter and an output for an output signal. In some implementations, the phase-shift to duty-cycle converter includes a simple logic gate and a reset-set flip flop. The simple logic gate has a third input coupled to the first input and a fourth input coupled to the second input, and the reset-set flip flop has a fifth input coupled to the first input and a sixth input coupled to the second input. The low pass filter is coupled to the output of one of the simple logic gate and the reset-set flip flop.

Abstract: A hardware device includes a frequency lock loop (FLL) that includes a phase loop filter, and a phase lock loop (PLL) such as an all digital PLL (ADPLL) that includes a frequency loop filter. A controller provides a first control signal to the FLL and a second control signal to the PLL when the device operates the same. The device can also include a digital controlled oscillator (DCO) and part of one or more of the FLL and the PLL. The FLL and the PLL include first and second filters, respectively. The filters are coupled to the DCO. A time-to-digital converter (TDC) and a divider receive an input from the DCO. The controller forms a first loop with the first filter, the TDC, and the divider, and the controller forms a second loop with the second filter, the TDC, and the divider.
