Determination of digital compensation to compensate for non-linearity of stochastic system configured to sample a phase difference, based on statistical analysis of calibration data generated by the stochastic system in response to a linear phase ramp. The stochastic system may include a set of stochastic sampler circuits to sample a phase difference at periodic events, and calibration data may include a digital value of set of stochastic samples for each of multiple events. The calibration data may include sequences of the digital values in which the digital values increment over a range of the stochastic system (i.e., between saturation states of the stochastic system). Statistical analysis may include histogram analysis to estimate the probability distribution of the calibration data. The stochastic system may be configured as part of a time-to-digital converter, which may be configured within a feedback loop of a digitally controllable phase lock loop.

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of detecting transmitter power. For example, a device may include a power detection circuit, coupled by a first coupler to a transmit chain, to provide a first output representing a measured non-calibrated transmission power over the transmit chain; a reference circuit, coupled to a reference voltage by a second coupler, to provide a second output representing a measured reference coupling factor; and a calibrator to determine a calibrated transmission power over the transmit chain based on the first and second outputs.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus to extend TDC resolution to better than 1 ps without incurring a matching and power penalty. Higher resolution can be achieved by segmenting the resolution between a mismatch free re-circulating time-to-digital converter (RTDC) and a stochastic time-to-digital converter (STDC). The disclosed RTDC replicates the same delay element to eliminate mismatch with the required dynamic range (200 ps for a 5 GHz example) and moderate resolution (3-5 ps typical corresponding to 6-7 bits for the 5 GHz case). While the STDC can achieve a resolution of 50 fs but with a range of only 3-5 ps which also corresponds to approximately 6-7 additional bits by exploiting process variations and mismatch to achieve a very fine resolution with limited dynamic range.
