    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to techniques and apparatus for doubling the frequency of a signal. For example, certain aspects are directed to a phase frequency detector (PFD)-based rising-edge-delay-only frequency doubling circuit. One example frequency doubler circuit generally includes a first delay stage, a second delay stage, a first PFD, a first rising-edge-only adjustable delay cell, a second PFD, a second rising-edge-only adjustable delay cell a logic gate, and a comparator configured to compare a direct-current (DC) voltage value of an output of the logic gate with a reference voltage and control the first and second rising-edge-only adjustable delay cells based on the comparison.

    摘要: A circuit that receives AC power for rectification and analog DC control signals for processing. Two voltages may be noted. A first voltage may be between a supply ground and an internal device ground of a rectifier. A second voltage may be between a terminal of an input control signal source and the internal device ground. To get a control signal value, one may need a differential of those two voltages that can be accomplished with an operational amplifier configured as differential amplifier. A range of an input control signal may be from zero to a particular magnitude of voltage. A reasonably priced operational amplifier might not have an ability provide an output to zero. However, a linearized transistor output stage, having an output that can go to zero, may be connected to an output of the operational amplifier so as to effectively provide an output that goes to zero.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: An injection locked frequency divider is disclosed. The injection-locked frequency divider includes a sub-harmonic injection-locked oscillator, a reference clock divider, a counter, and a variable load resistor control unit. The sub-harmonic injection-locked oscillator has variable load resistors that are adjusted in response to a resistance adjustment signal, and, when oscillation frequency determined based on the magnitudes of the variable load resistors is a sub-harmonic of an injection signal, outputs signals having the oscillation frequency as divided output signals. The reference clock divider generates a count-enable signal from a reference clock signal according to a reference division ratio. The counter generates divided output count signals based on the divided output signals in response to the count-enable signal. The variable load resistor control unit compares target count values, determined based on the target frequencies of the divided output signals, with the divided output count signals, and outputs the resistance adjustment signal.
