Reconfigurable All-Digital Time-To-Digital Converter for Digital PLL (Configureerbare volledig digitaal tijd-naar-digitaal convertor voor digitaal PLL) KU Leuven
This PhD work focuses on Time‐to‐Digital Converters (TDC) for frequency synthesis insoftware‐defined radios (SDR). Specifically, it addresses the resolution enhancementof TDC with low‐complexity digital post‐processing and calibration. TDCs are used asphase‐difference detectors in digital‐intensive phase‐locked loops (DPLL). Such PLLsare promising, as they are not impacted by the analog unfriendliness of deepsubmicronCMOS. However, the ...
