An Algorithm to Compensate the Effects of Spurious PLL Tones in Spectrum Sensing Architectures

Ali H. Sayed

In a nonideal PLL circuit, leakage of the reference signal into the control line produces spurious tones. When the distorted PLL signal is used as a sampling clock to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), it creates spurious sidebands in the sampled data a ...

Clock Jitter Compensation in High-Rate ADC Circuits

Ali H. Sayed

Clock timing jitter refers to random perturbations in the sampling time in analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The perturbations are caused by circuit imperfections in the sampling clock. This paper analyzes the effect of sampling clock jitter on the acqu ...

On-Chip Digital Background Calibration of Pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converters using Digital Assistance to support Nonlinear Residue Amplification

Thomas Liechti

This thesis describes a novel digital background calibration scheme for pipelined ADCs with nonlinear interstage gain. Errors caused by the nonlinear gains are corrected in real-time by adaptively post-processing the digital stage outputs. The goal of this ...

Digital Suppression of Spurious PLL Tones in A/D Converters

Ali H. Sayed

In a nonideal PLL circuit, leakage of the reference signal into the control line produces spurious tones. When the distorted PLL signal is used in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), it injects the spurious tones into the sampled data. These distortions ...

Frequency domain compensation of spurious sidebands in A/D circuits

Ali H. Sayed

In a non-ideal PLL circuit, leakage of the reference signal into the control line produces spurious tones. When the distorted PLL signal is used as a clock signal, it creates spurious tones in the sampled data. Our prior work used a training signal to esti ...

Reduction of the effects of spurious PLL tones on A/D converters

Ali H. Sayed

In a non-ideal PLL circuit, leakage of the reference signal into the control line produces spurious tones. When the distorted PLL signal is used in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), it creates spurious tones in the sampled data as well. This paper anal ...

Signal Processing in Space and Time

Francisco Pereira Correia Pinto

Sound waves propagate through space and time by transference of energy between the particles in the medium, which vibrate according to the oscillation patterns of the waves. These vibrations can be captured by a microphone and translated into a digital sig ...

Sensing and Recovery under Sparsity Constraints

Ali Hormati

Popular transforms, like the discrete cosine transform or the wavelet transform, owe their success to the fact that they promote sparsity. These transforms are capable of extracting the structure of a large class of signals and representing them by a few t ...

Continuous-Time AR Model Identification: Does Sampling Rate Really Matter?

Michaël Unser, Hagay Kirshner, Simona Maggio

We address the problem of identifying continuous-time auto regressive (CAR) models from sampled data. The exponential nature of CAR autocorrelation functions is taken into account by means of exponential B-splines modelling, allowing one to associate the a ...
