Synchronization was important in the operation of19thcentury railways,these being thefirst major means of transport fast enough for the differences in local time be-tween adjacent towns to be noticeable.Each line han-dled the problem by synchronizing all its stations to head-quarters as a standard railroad time.In some territories, sharing of single railroad tracks was controlled by the timetable.The need for strict timekeeping led the compa-nies to settle on one standard,and civil authorities even-tually abandoned local mean solar time in favor of that standard.2CommunicationIn electrical engineering terms,for digital logic and data transfer,a synchronous circuit requires a clock signal. However,the use of the word“clock”in this sense is dif-ferent from the typical sense of a clock as a device that keeps track of time-of-day;the clock signal simply sig-nals the start and/or end of some time period,often very minute(measured in microseconds or nanoseconds),that has an arbitrary relationship to sidereal,solar,or lunar time,or to any other system of measurement of the pas-sage of minutes,hours,and days.In a different sense,electronic systems are sometimes synchronized to make events at points far apart appear si-multaneous or near-simultaneous from a certain perspec-tive.(Albert Einstein proved in1905in hisfirst relativ-ity paper that there actually are no such things as abso-lutely simultaneous events.)Timekeeping technologies such as the GPS satellites and Network Time Protocol (NTP)provide real-time access to a close approximation to the UTC timescale and are used for many terrestrial synchronization applications of this kind. Synchronization is an important concept in the following fields:•Computer science(In computer science,especiallyparallel computing,synchronization refers to the co-ordination of simultaneous threads

英文资料及中文翻译6 TRANSMISSIONS OF DIGITAL DATA:INTERFACES AND MODEMS(From Introduction to Data Communications and Net Working,Behrouz Forouzan)Once we have encoder our information into a format that can be transmitted, the next step is to investigate the transmission process itself. Information-processing equipment such as PCs generate encoded signals but ordinarily require assistance to transmit those signals over a communication link. For example, a PC generates a digital signal but needs an additional device to modulate a carrier frequency before it is sent over a telephone line. How do we relay encoded data from the generating device to the next device in the process? The answer is a bundle of wires, a sort of mini communication link, called an interface.Because an interface links two devices not necessarily made by the same manufacturer, its characteristics must be defined and standards must be established. Characteristics of an interface include its mechanical specifications (how many wires are used to transport the signal); its electrical specifications (the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the expected signal); and its functional specifications (if multiple wires are used, what does each one do?). These characteristics are all described by several popular standards and are incorporated in the physical layer of the OSI model.6.1 DIGITAL DATA TRANSMISSIONOf primary concern when considering the transmission of data from one device to another is the wiring. And of primary concern when considering the wiring is the data stream. Do we send one bit at a time, or do we group bits into larger groups and, if so, how? The transmission of binary data across a link can be accomplished either in parallel mode or serial mode. In parallel mode, multiple bits are sent with each clock pulse. In serial mode, one bit is sent with each clock pulse. While there is only one way to send parallel data, there are two subclasses of serial transmission: synchronous and asynchronous (see Figure 6-1).Parallel TransmissionBinary data, consisting of 1s and 0s, may be organized into groups of n bits each. Computers produce and consume data in groups of bits much as we conceive of and use spoken language in the form of words rather than letters. By grouping, we can send data n bits at a time instead of one. This is called parallel transmission.DataParallel SerialSynchronou AsynchronFigure 6-1 Data transmissionThe mechanism for parallel transmission is a conceptually simple one: use n wires to send n bits at one time. That way each bit has its own wire, and all n bits of one group can be transmitted with each clock pulse from one device to another. Figure 6-2 shows how parallel transmission works for n=8.Typically the eight wires are bundled in a cable with a connector at each end.8 bitSender ReceiverWe need eightFigure 6-2 Parallel transmissionThe advantage of parallel transmission is speed. All else being equal, parallel transmission can increase the transfer speed by a factor of n over serial transmission. But there is a significant disadvantage:cost. Parallel transmission requires n communication lines (wires in the example) just to transmit the data stream. Because this is expensive, parallel transmission is usually limited to short distances, up to a maximum of say 25 feet.Serial TransmissionIn serial transmission one bit follows another, so we need only one communication channel rather than n to transmit data between two communicating devices .The advantage of serial over parallel transmission is that with only one communication channel, serial transmission reduces the cost of transmission over parallel by roughly a factor of n.Since communication within devices is parallel, conversion devices are required at the interface between the sender and the line (parallel-to-parallel).Serial transmission occurs in one of two ways: asynchronous or synchronous.Asynchronous TransmissionAsynchronous transmission is so named because the timing of a signal is unimportant. Instead, information is received and translated by agreed-upon patterns. As long as those patterns are followed, the receiving device can retrieve the information without regard to the rhythm in which it is sent. Patterns are based on grouping the bit stream into bytes. Each group, usually eight bits, is sent along the link as a unit. The sending system handles each group independently, relaying it to the link whenever ready, without regard to a timer.Without a synchronizing pulse, the receiver cannot use timing topredict when the next group will arrive. To alert the receiver to the arrival of a new group, therefore, an extra bit is added to the beginning of each byte. This bit, usually a 0, is called the start bit. To let the receiver know that the byte is finished, one or more additional bits are appended to the end of the byte. These bits, usually 1s, are called stop bits. By this method, each byte is increased in size to at least 10 bits, of which 8 are information and 2 or more are signals to the receiver. In addition, the transmission of each byte may then be followed by a gap of varying duration. This gap can be represented either by an idle channel or by a stream of additional stop bits.In asynchronous transmission we send one start bit (0) at the beginning and one or more stop bits (1s) at the end of each byte. There may be a gap between each byte.The start and stop bits and the gap alert the receiver to the beginning and end of each byte and allow it to synchronize with the data stream. This mechanism is called asynchronous because, at the byte level, sender and receiver do not have to be synchronized. But within each byte, the receiver must still be synchronized with the incoming bit stream. This is, some synchronization is required, but only for the duration of a single byte. The receiving device resynchronizes at the onset of each new byte. When the receiver detects a start bit, it sets a timer and begins counting bits as they come in. after n bits the receiver looks for a stop bit. As soonas it detects the stop bit, it ignores any received pulses until it detects the next start bit.Asynchronous here means “asynchronous at the byte level,” but the bits are still synchronized; their durations are the same.The addition of stop and start bits and the insertion of gaps into the bit stream make asynchronous transmission slower than forms of transmission that can operate without the addition of control information. But it is cheap and effective, two advantages that make it an attractive choice for situations like low-speed communication. For example, the connection of a terminal to a computer is a natural application for asynchronous transmission. A user types only one character at a time, types extremely slowly in data processing terms, and leaves unpredictable gaps of time between each character. Synchronous TransmissionIn synchronous transmission, the bit stream is combined into longer “frames,” which may contain multiple bytes. Each byte, however, is introduced onto the transmission link without a gap between it and the next one. It is left to the receiver to separate the bit stream into bytes for decoding purposes. In other words, data are transmitted as an unbroken string of 1s and 0s, and the receiver separates that string into the bytes, or characters, it needs to reconstruct the information.In synchronous transmission we send bits one after another withoutstart/stop bits or gaps. It is the responsibility of the receiver to group the bits.Without gaps and start/stop bits, there is no built-in mechanism to help the receiving device adjust its bit synchronization in midstream. Timing becomes very important, therefore, because the accuracy of the received information is completely dependent on the ability of the receiving device to keep an accurate count of the bits as they come in.The advantage of synchronous transmission is speed. With no extra bits or gaps to introduce at the sending end and remove at the receiving end and, by extension, with fewer bits to move across the link, synchronous transmission is faster than asynchronous transmission is faster than asynchronous transmission. For this reason, it is more useful for high-speed applications like the transmission of data from one computer to another. Byte synchronization is accomplished in the data link layer.6.2 DTE-DCE INTERFACAt this point we must clarify two terms important to computer networking: data terminal equipment (DTE). There are usually four basic functional units involved in the communication of data: a DTE and DCE on one end and a DCE and DTE on the other end. The DTE generates the data and passes them, along with any necessary control characters, to a DCE. The DCE does the job of converting the signal to a formatappropriate to the transmission medium and introducing it onto the network link. When the signal arrives at the receiving end, this process is reversed.Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)Data terminal equipment (DTE) includes any unit that functions either as a source of or as a destination for binary digital data. At the physical layer, if can be a terminal, microcomputer, computer, printer, fax machine, or any other device that generates or consumes digital data. DTEs do not often communicate directly with one another, they generate and consume information but need an intermediary to be able to communicate. Think of a DTE as operating the way your brain does when you talk. Let’s say you have an idea that you want to communicate to a friend. Your brain creates the idea but cannot transmit that idea to your friend’s brain by itself. Unfortunately or fortunately, we are not a species of mind readers. Instead, your brain passes the idea to your vocal chords and mouth, which convert it to sound waves that can travel through the air or ov er a telephone line to your friend’s ear and from there to his or her brain, where it is converted back into information. In this model, your brain and your friend’s brain are DTEs. Your vocal chords and mouth are your DCE. His or her ear is also a DCE. The air or telephone wire is your transmission medium.A DTE is any device that is a source of or destination for binarydigital data.Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE)Data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) includes any functional unit that transmits or receives data in the form of an analog or digital signal through a network. At the physical layer, a DCE takes data generated by a DTE, converts them to an appropriate signal, and then introduces the signal onto the telecommunication link. Commonly used DCEs at this layer include modems . In any network, a DTE generates digital data and passes it to a DCE; the DCE converts the data to a form acceptable to the transmission medium and sends the converted signal to another DCE on the network. The second DCE takes the signal off the line, converts it to a form usable by its DTE, and delivers it. To make this communication possible, both the sending and receiving DCEs must use the same encoding method, much the way that if you want to communicate to someone who understands only Japanese, you must speak Japanese. The two DTEs do not need to be coordinated with each other, but each of them must be coordinated with its own DCE and the DCEs must be coordinated so that data translation occurs without loss of integrity.A DCE is any device that transmits or receives data in the form of an analog or digital signal through a network.6 数字数据传输:接口和调制解调器(选自«数据通信与网络»,Behrouz Forouzan著)咱们将信息编码成能够传输的格式,下一步确实是探讨传输进程了。
**The Process of Performing**Performing is a multifaceted process that involves preparation, practice, and execution. Whether it is a theatrical play, a musical performance, or a dance routine, the process of performing generally follows several key stages.The first stage is preparation. This begins with understanding the material or the role one is about to perform. For actors, this means analyzing the script and delving into their character's background, motivations, and relationships. Musicians need to familiarize themselves with the score, interpreting the composer’s intentions and understanding the structure of the piece. Dancers often start by studying the choreography and grasping the emotions and themes that their movements need to convey.Next comes practice. This stage involves repeated rehearsal to refine and perfect the performance. Actors rehearse their lines, blocking, and interactions with other characters. Musicians practice their parts individually and with the ensemble, focusing on timing, intonation, and dynamics. Dancers rehearse their routines, working on their technique, synchronization with other dancers, and expressiveness.During practice, performers often face challenges and setbacks. It is common to encounter difficulties with memorization, timing, or coordination. Overcoming these challenges requires perseverance and a willingness to adapt. Feedback from directors, conductors, or choreographers plays a crucial role in guiding performers through this stage. Constructive criticism helps them identify areas for improvement and refine their skills.As the performance date approaches, performers transition into the final phase: execution. This is when all the preparation and practice culminate in front of an audience. The execution phase involves a careful balance of confidence and focus. Performers must manage their nerves and stay present in the moment, while also adhering to the timing and cues established during rehearsal.The live performance itself is an opportunity for performers to showcase their work and connect with the audience. It is often accompanied by a mix of excitement and anxiety. Performers need to stay adaptable, as live shows can be unpredictable, with potential for unexpected issues such as technical difficulties or changes in the environment.After the performance, there is typically a period of reflection and evaluation. Performers review their performance, discuss feedback, and consider what went well and what could be improved. This reflection is essential for growth and development, as it helps performers learn from each experience and prepare for future endeavors.In conclusion, the process of performing is an intricate journey that involves thorough preparation, diligent practice, and a focused execution. Each stage is crucial in shaping a successful performance, and the ability to navigate these stages effectively is key to delivering a compelling and memorable experience for both the performers and the audience.。
多比特信号跨时钟域同步电路以及方法English:Multi-bit signal cross-clock domain synchronization circuits and methods are commonly used in digital systems to ensure proper timing and data alignment between different clock domains. The main challenge in designing such circuits is to ensure reliable and robust synchronization while dealing with potential issues such as clock skew, metastability, and data corruption. One commonly used approach is to utilize synchronization elements such as flip-flops or latches along with proper clock domain crossing techniques. These techniques include two-flop synchronizers, synchronizers with handshake protocols, and self-timed synchronizers. Two-flop synchronizers are often used due to their simplicity and effectiveness in mitigating metastability issues, while protocols like the Gray code handshake can provide more robust synchronization. Additionally, self-timed synchronizers eliminate the need for a common clock signal, making them suitable for asynchronous systems. Overall, the design of multi-bit signal cross-clock domain synchronization circuits and methods requires careful consideration of timing requirements,synchronization element selection, and robustness against potential synchronization issues.中文翻译:多比特信号跨时钟域同步电路及方法通常在数字系统中广泛使用,以确保不同时钟域间的正确计时和数据对齐。
中英译文翻译英文:High Speed Digital Hybrid PLL Frequency Synthesizer译文:高速数字混合锁相环频率合成器To get the high-speed, it is necessary to prepare the precise synchronization of the complicated design.In 2001, H. G. Ryu proposed a simplified structure of the DDFS (direct digital frequency synthesizer)-driven PLL for the high switching speed [2].However, there is a problem that the speed of the whole system is limited by PLL.Y. Fouzar proposed a PLL frequency synthesizer of dual loop configuration using frequency-to-voltage converter (FVC) [3].It has a fast switching speed by the PD (phase detector), FVC using output signal of VCO and the proposed coarse tuning controller.However, H/W complexity is increased for the high switching speed.Also, it shows the fast switching characteristic only when the FVC works well.Another method is pre-tuning one which is called DH-PLL in this study [4].It has very high speed switching property, but H/W complexity and power consumption are increased due to digital look-up table (DLT) which is usually implemented by the ROM including the transfer characteristic ofVCO(voltage controlled oscillator).For this reason, this paper proposes a timing synchronization circuit for the rapid frequency synthesis and a very simple DLT replacement digital logic block instead of the complex ROM type DLT for high speed switching and low power consumption. Also, the requisite condition is solved in the proposed method. The fast switching operation at every the frequency synthesis process is verified by the computer circuit simulation.II.DH-PLL synthesizerAs shown in Fig.1, the open-loop synthesizer is a direct frequency synthesis type that VCO 要得到高运行速度,事先做好复杂设计的精确同步是必要的。
时钟同步服务方案英文Clock Synchronization Service ProposalIntroduction:In today's highly connected world, accurate and synchronized timekeeping is crucial for various domains like telecommunications, finance, transportation, and cybersecurity. Achieving precise clock synchronization across multiple devices or systems is a significant challenge that needs to be addressed. This proposal outlines a clock synchronization service that aims to provide a reliable and efficient solution to this issue.Objective:The primary objective of our clock synchronization service is to ensure that all devices and systems in a network have highly accurate and synchronized clocks. This will enable precise network coordination, event timing, scheduling, and data consistency.Service Architecture:Our clock synchronization service will be based on the Network Time Protocol (NTP), a widely used protocol for clock synchronization over the Internet. It will consist of three main components:1. Time Servers:A set of highly accurate and reliable time servers will be deployed in key areas of the network. These servers will serve as primary time references and will be responsible for generating accurate time signals. To ensure redundancy and fault tolerance, multiple time servers will be deployed in each location.2. Time Clients:All devices and systems in the network that require accurate clock synchronization will act as time clients. These time clients will periodically synchronize their clocks with the time servers using the NTP protocol. The time clients will calibrate their clocks based on the time signals received from the time servers.3. Time Monitoring and Management:A centralized management system will be established to monitor and manage the clock synchronization service. This system will keep track of the time servers and time clients, ensure the proper functioning of the service, and alert administrators in case of any issues or failures.Synchronization Algorithm:To achieve accurate clock synchronization, our service will utilize the NTP's hierarchical algorithm. This algorithm helps synchronize clocks in the network bycompensating for network delays and other sources of clock error. It will ensure that the time signals generated by the time servers are transmitted to the time clients with minimal delay and error.Security Measures:Clock synchronization is not only crucial for accurate timekeeping but also for maintaining a secure network. Our clock synchronization service will incorporate robust security measures to protect against unauthorized access and tampering. This includes authentication and encryption mechanisms to ensure that time signals are transmitted securely and only trusted time sources are used for synchronization.Benefits:Implementing our clock synchronization service will provide numerous benefits to the network and its users:1. Accurate Timekeeping: With highly synchronized clocks, all devices and systems in the network will have access to precise time information, enabling accurate event timing, synchronization, and coordination.2. Improved Efficiency: Accurate clock synchronization will enhance the efficiency of variousprocesses that rely on time-sensitive operations. This includes financial transactions, data backups, network coordination, and real-time communications.3. Enhanced Security: By utilizing secure and trusted time sources, our service will contribute to the network's overall security. Synchronized clocks are essential for secure communication protocols, digital certificates, and network forensics.4. Simplified Network Management: Our centralized management system will provide administrators with a comprehensive view of the network's clock synchronization status. This will help in identifying and resolving issues quickly, reducing maintenance efforts.Conclusion:Accurate clock synchronization is crucial for the efficient and secure operation of modern networks. Our clock synchronization service proposal aims to address this need by providing a reliable, efficient, and secure solution based on the Network Time Protocol. By implementing this service, networks can benefit from synchronized clocks, improved efficiency, enhanced security, and simplified network management.。

Implementing timing and synchronization hardware can vastly improve the accuracy of measurements, provide advanced triggering schemes, and allow synchronization of multiple devices for extremely high-channel-count applications. NI’s portfolio includes both signal-based and time-based solutions to deliver the advantages of synchronization to numerous applications.Table 1. NI offers various PXI modules to meet a range of timing and synchronization requirements.*Accuracy within one year of calibration adjustment within 0 ºC and 55 ºC operating temperature rangeDetailed View of PXIe-6674TSlot Compatibility PXI Timing or Peripheral Slot PXI or PXIe Hybrid Peripheral Slot PXIe System TimingSlot PXIe System TimingSlot Oscillator Accuracy*TCXO / 3.5 ppm TCXO / 3.5 ppm TCXO / 3.5 ppm OCXO / 80 ppb DDS Clock Generation Range Not available Not available DC to 105 MHz 0.3 Hz to 1 GHzDDS Clock Generation Resolution Not availableNot available0.075 Hz2.84 µHzPXI 10MHz Backplane Clock Override ● ● ● Clock Import Capability ● ● ● Clock Export Capability● ● ● ● Time-Based Synchronization (GPS, IEEE 1588, IRIG-B, PPS)● ● PXI Trigger Access (PXI_TRIG) ● ● ● ● PXI-Star Trigger Access (PXI_STAR) ●● ● PXIe-Dstar Trigger Access (PXI_DSTARA/B/C)● Front Panel Physical Connectors SMB, RJ45SMB, RJ45SMB SMA PFI Lines on Front Panel3366Key FeaturesHigh-Stability, High-Accuracy Onboard ClockApplications requiring highly reliable and consistent clock signals require a highly stable oscillator to avoid clock inaccuracies. For an NI PXI Express chassis, the oscillator is accurate to 25 parts per million (ppm). Inserting an NI PXI timing and synchronization module into the system timing slot of the chassis enables the user to replace this backplane system reference clock using the higher accuracy oscillator of the module. The PXIe-6672 and PXI-6683 modules contain a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) which can achieve accuracies better than 4 ppm. The PXIe-6674T features an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) with an accuracy of 80 parts-per-billion (ppb). Note that the PXI-6683H contains the same oscillator as the PXI-6683, but due to its hybrid connectivity is not able to override the backplane clock.Figure 1.By referencing the OCXO on the PXIe-6674T, the 10 MHz backplane clock of a PXI chassis achieves muchlower phase noise and thus more clock stability.PXI modular instruments with phased-lock loop circuits, such as high-speed digitizers and waveform generators, can take advantage of the high-precision clock of timing and synchronization modules. When locking to a high-accuracy reference clock, the instrument inherits the accuracy of the clock, achieving sample clock resolutions as low as 0.5 Hz with an OCXO-based module.Skew Reduction with Star and Differential Star LinesDue to the variation in signal path lengths between slots in a PXI chassis, skew may be introduced when sending clocks or triggers to multiple slot destinations over the PXI trigger bus. To address this, all NI PXI chassis also include trace-length-matched star trigger lines accessible from a timing and synchronization module in the system timing slot. Star trigger lines can reduce skew to a maximum of 1 ns. Additionally, PXI Express chassis include differential star trigger lines capable of minimizing slot-to-slot skew to under 150 ps.Figure 2.While every slot of the PXI backplane may access the PXI trigger bus, the star trigger lines and differential star trigger lines are only accessible through the system timing slot.Time-Based Synchronization with GPS, IEEE 1588, IRIG-B or PPSThe NI PXI-6683 and PXI-6683H timing and synchronization modules synchronize PXI and PXI Express systems through time-based technology or protocols. Time-based modules can generate triggers and clock signals at programmable future times and timestamp input events with the synchronized system time including that of real-time systems. For PXI Express systems requiring time-based synchronization with backplane clock discipline or star trigger access, the PXI-6683H can be combined with the PXIe- 6674T or PXIe-6672 to provide a full-featured synchronization solution.Advanced Routing of Clocks and TriggersUsing a PXI timing and synchronization module provides the capability of advanced routing of clock and trigger signals. Through the combination of system timing slot access and FPGA-based routing, many more source-to-destination routes become possible, allowing more flexible designs and efficient use of system resources.Table 2. The PXIe-6674T timing and synchronization module features a wide vaiety of source-to-destination routes bycombining the power of the PXI Express architecture with the signal-routing capabilities of the onboard FPGA.● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●●●●●●●NI-Sync Application Programming Interface (API)The NI-Sync driver allows configuration of system timing and synchronization through LabVIEW, C, or .NET. This includes signal-based synchronization, such as sharing triggers and clocks to be used directly, or time-based synchronization, using time protocols such as IEEE-1588, IRIG, or GPS for non-tethered systems. NI-Sync is designed for use with other NI drivers, such as NI-DAQmx, for advanced timing, high channel count, distributed or multiple-instrument applications.DestinationS o u r c ePlatform-Based Approach to Test and MeasurementWhat Is PXI?Powered by software, PXI is a rugged PC-based platform for measurement and automation systems. PXI combines PCI electrical-bus features with the modular, Eurocard packaging of CompactPCI and then adds specialized synchronization buses and key software features. PXI is both a high-performance and low-cost deployment platform for applications such as manufacturing test, military and aerospace, machine monitoring, automotive, and industrial test. Developed in 1997 and launched in 1998, PXI is an open industry standard governed by the PXI Systems Alliance (PXISA), a group of more than 70 companies chartered to promote the PXI standard, ensure interoperability, and maintain the PXI specification.Integrating the Latest Commercial TechnologyBy leveraging the latest commercial technology for our products, we can continually deliver high-performance and high-quality products to our users at a competitive price. The latest PCI Express Gen 3 switches deliver higher data throughput, the latest Intel multicore processors facilitate faster and more efficient parallel (multisite) testing, the latest FPGAs from Xilinx help to push signal processing algorithms to the edge to accelerate measurements, and the latest data converters from TI and ADI continuallyincrease the measurement range and performance of our instrumentation.PXI InstrumentationNI offers more than 600 different PXI modules ranging from DC to mmWave. Because PXI is an open industry standard, nearly 1,500 products are available from more than 70 different instrument vendors. With standard processing and control functions designated to a controller, PXI instruments need to contain only the actual instrumentation circuitry, which provides effective performance in a small footprint. Combined with a chassis and controller, PXI systems feature high-throughput data movement using PCI Express bus interfaces and sub-nanosecond synchronization with integrated timing and triggering.OscilloscopesSample at speeds up to 12.5 GS/s with 5 GHz of analog bandwidth, featuring numerous triggering modes and deep onboard memoryDigital InstrumentsPerform characterization and production test of semiconductor devices with timing sets and per channel pin parametric measurement unit (PPMU)Frequency Counters Perform counter timer tasks such as event counting and encoder position, period, pulse, and frequency measurementsPower Supplies & Loads Supply programmable DC power, with some modules including isolated channels, output disconnect functionality, and remote senseSwitches (Matrix & MUX) Feature a variety of relay types and row/column configurations to simplify wiring in automated test systemsGPIB, Serial, & Ethernet Integrate non-PXI instruments into a PXI system through various instrument control interfaces Digital MultimetersPerform voltage (up to 1000 V), current (up to 3A), resistance, inductance, capacitance, and frequency/period measurements, as well as diode testsWaveform Generators Generate standard functions including sine, square, triangle, and ramp as well as user-defined, arbitrary waveformsSource Measure Units Combine high-precision source and measure capability with high channel density, deterministic hardware sequencing, and SourceAdapt transient optimizationFlexRIO Custom Instruments & Processing Provide high-performance I/O and powerful FPGAs for applications that require more than standard instruments can offerVector Signal Transceivers Combine a vector signal generator and vector signal analyzer with FPGA-based, real-time signal processing and controlData Acquisition Modules Provide a mix of analog I/O, digital I/O, counter/timer, and trigger functionality for measuring electricalor physical phenomena©2019 National Instruments.

The flip-flops are used to store the incoming pulse, while the XOR gates and delay elements are used to generate the quadrature pulses. Bycarefully designing the logic gates and delay elements, it is possible to achieve the desired phase relationship between the output pulses.实现单脉冲到正交脉冲转换电路的方法有几种。
loop rate synchronizerA loop rate synchronizer is a synchronization technique used in digital communication systems to maintain a consistent data transmission rate between two devices. It is commonly used when data is transmitted over an analog medium and needs to be recovered and synchronized at the receiving end.In a loop rate synchronizer, the receiving device continuously adjusts its timing based on the timing information extracted from the received signal. The synchronization process involves two main steps: timing recovery and phase adjustment.Timing recovery involves estimating the timing of the incoming signal by detecting timing information embedded within the signal. This can be done using techniques such as matched filtering, correlation, or clock recovery algorithms. The timing error between the received signal and the local clock at the receiver is then calculated.Phase adjustment is the second step, where the receiver adjusts the phase of its local clock to align with the received signal. This can be achieved by continuously adjusting the frequency of the local clock, either by speeding it up or slowing it down, until the phase error is minimized. This process is often implemented using a phase-locked loop (PLL) or a delay-locked loop (DLL) to generate a synchronized clock signal.By continuously adjusting the timing and phase, the loop rate synchronizer ensures that the receiver maintains a consistent data transmission rate, even in the presence of timing and phase errorsin the received signal. This synchronization technique is important for reliable and accurate data communication over analog transmission channels.。

No other DMM in this price range offers this reference source and its accompanying stability, which is why the PXIe-4081 includes a two-year guaranteed accuracy of 12 ppm to further reduce the cost of test by minimizing downtime for instrument calibration. This beats the one-year accuracyspecifications of most traditional benchtop DMMs, providing you with more accurate measurements with lower cost of ownership and less downtime. The PXIe-4081 also uses advanced DMM measurement techniques such as offset compensated ohms, high-order DC noiserejection, and self-calibration to ensure accurate measurements.FIGURE 5Over a 12-hour noise and drift test of 0 VDC with each DMM set to 100 mV input range with 10 power line cycle (PLC) aperture time, the PXIe-4081 (blue) outperforms both the leading 6½-digit (light grey) and 7½-digit (dark grey) benchtop DMMs.FIGURE 6The unique combination of off-the-shelf high-speed ADC technology and a custom-designed sigma-delta converter optimizes linearity and noise for up to 7½-digitprecision and stability while offering digitizer sample rates up to 1.8 MS/s.Flexible Measurement Rate with an Isolated DigitizerTraditional DMMs are designed to provide high resolution and precision, with little regard to acquisition speed.

The unique architecture of the PXIe-408x DMMs offers a continuously variable reading rate that ranges from 7 S/s to 10 kS/s, so you can choose the sample rate andresolution you need for your application.FIGURE 8Depiction of the Scanning Process from the NI-SWITCH API to the DMMSynchronization and IntegrationNI PXI DMMs use the inherent timing and synchronization capabilities of the PXI platform to communicate with switches and otherinstruments within the PXI chassis. You can use switches with a DMM to expand the instrument’s measurement capability to hundreds or thousands of test points. NI DMMs “handshake” with NI switches by sending and receiving hardware-timed triggers over the PXI backplane and scanning through a list of switch connections stored in memory on board the switch module. This method of scanning removes the software overhead associated with traditional scan lists and can create a deterministic scan list for faster test execution with more repeatable timing.FIGURE 9Calibration TimelineSynchronization and IntegrationNI DMMs offer self-calibration, which is traditionally found in only the highest resolution DMMs. Self-calibration corrects for all DC gain and offset drifts within the DMM using a precision, high-stability internal voltage reference that has an outstanding temperature coefficient and time drift that account for all resistance and current source drifts. Using the self-calibration feature makes NI DMMs highly accurate and stable at any operating temperature—well outside the traditional 18 °C to 28 °C range.This operation takes less than a minute to complete and requires no external calibrator, which minimizes the maintenance burden of deployed systems. PXIe-408x DMMs have a two-year external calibration cycle thanks to the self-calibration precision circuitry thatminimizes the maintenance burden of deployed systems.

外文资料翻译之邯郸勺丸创作L ED using digital tube digital display its high-brightness, indicating the advantages of intuitive intelligence is widely used in areas such as equipment and household appliances. AT89C52This article describes a single-chip microcomputer as the core, to a total of anode high-brightness LED L ED as a display composed of seven figures show that the practical design of multi-function electronic clocks, the clock shows a week, hour, minute, second, it can be switched to year, month, day showed that the whole point of music at the same time and from time to time the alarm time and other functions can also be used for electronic stopwatch.Clock circuit is the heart of the computer, which controls the rhythm of the work of the computer is through the completion of complex sequential circuits function in different directions.Clock, since it was invented that day on, people's lives has become an indispensable tool, especially in this era of efficient, the clock is in the human production and living, learning and other fields is widely. However, with the passage of time, people not only to the requirements of the clock is getting higher andhigher precision, and functional requirements for the clock more and more, the clock has not only a tool used to display time, in many practical applications It also needs to be able to achieve more other functions. Features such as alarm clock, calendar display, temperature measurement function, humidity measurements, voltage measurements, frequency measurements, have been under-voltage alarm function. Digital clocks to the people's production and life has brought great convenience, but also greatly expands the time feature the original clocks. Such as regular auto-alarm, Automatic time-ling, time process automation, from time to time broadcast, from closed-circuit automatic lights, oven timer switch, on-off power equipment, electrical and even a variety of timing is automatically enabled, all of which are based on digital clocks and watches based. It can be said that the design of the significance of multi-function Digital Clock Digital Clock is not just itself, a greater significance of the multi-function digital clock in a number of real-time control systems. In many practical applications, as long as the digital clock circuit of the programs and hardware to a certain degree of modification could be useful for real-time control system, which applied to the actual work and production to. Thus, digital clock and to expand its applications,has a very practical significance.With the development of human civilization, science and technology, there is the request of the clock continues to improve. Clock has not only seen as a tool to display the time, in many practical applications also need to be able to achieve more other functions. High-precision, multifunction, small size, low power consumption, is the development trend of the modern clock. In this trend, digital clock, multifunction clock has become the modern design of the production of research-led direction. This article is based on this design direction for the control of a single-chip core design requirements of a multi-function indicators in line with the digital clock.The design is based on the principle of single-chip technology to chip AT89C52single-chip microcomputer as the core controller, through the production of hardware and software procedures for the preparation, design to produce a multi-functional digital clock system. The clock system mainly by clock module, alarm module, the ambient temperature detection module, liquid crystal display module, control module and the keyboard signal prompted module. System is simple and clear user interface that can 4V ~ 7V DC power under normal operation. Able to accurately display time (display format hh: mm: seconds seconds, 24-hour system), maybe time to adjust at any time, with clock time settings, alarm on / off, only to make functions, where the clock to measure the ambient temperature and displayed. Hardware and software design into the guiding ideology, give full play to the single-chip features, most of the functions through software programming to achieve, the circuit is simple and clear, high system stability. At the same time, the clock system also has the power of small, low cost, and highly practical. System components as a result of less use, single-chip occupied by the I / O port not more than, the system has a certain degree of scalability.Clock design is no theory of discrete logic, programmable logic, or using full-custom silicon devices of any digital design, in order to successfully operate and reliable clock is crucial. Poor design of the clock in the limits of temperature, voltage deviation or the manufacturing process will result in the case wrong, and debugging difficult, spending a lot. In the design of FPGA / CPLD clock when several types of commonly used. Clock can be divided into the following four types: global clock, clock gating, multi-level logic clock clock and volatility. Multi-clock system to include the above-mentioned four types of any combination of the clock.No matter what methods are the real circuitclock tree can not achieve the ideal assumption that the clock, so we must be based on an ideal clock, the clock real work to build a model to analyze the circuit, so as to make the circuit performance and the practical work as expected . Clock in the actual model, we have to consider the spread of clock-tree skew, vertical jump and absolute bias and other uncertainties.To register, the clock was working along the arrival of the data terminal when it should have been stable, so as to ensure that the work along the sampling clock to the accuracy of the data, this data preparation time that we call set-up time (setup time). Data should also be working along the clock to maintain over a period of time, this period of time known as the hold time (hold time).Global clock for a design project, the global clock (or clock synchronous) is the simplest and most predictable clock. In the PLD / FPGA design of the clock the best options are: by a dedicated global clock input pins of a single master clock-driven clock design projects to each flip-flop. As long as possible should be used in the design of global clock projects. PLD / FPGA has a dedicated global clock pins, the device is directly connected to each register. Global clock to provide such a device in the shortest possible delay to the output clock.Clock-gated in many applications, the entire design of the overall use of external clock is not possible or practical. With the product of PLD logic array clock (that is, the clock is generated by the logic), to allow arbitrary function alone all trigger clock. However, when you use the array clock, the clock should be carefully analyzed the function, in order to avoid glitches.Usually constitute the array clock clock-gated. Clock gating often interface with the microprocessor, and used the address to write to control the pulse line. However, when using combination of flip-flop when the clock function, usually there is a clock-gated. If the following conditions, such as clock gating can be as reliable as global clock work: Drive the clock logic must contain only one "and" the door or a "or" gate. If any additional work in some state of logic, the competition will be the burr.A logic gate input as the actual clock, and the logic gate must be of all other input as the address or control lines, in relation to their compliance with the establishment and maintenance of clock time bound.Multi-level logic generated clock when the clock-gating logic of the combination of more than one (or more than the individual "and" doors or "or" gate), the evidence of thereliability of the design of the project has become very difficult. Even if the prototype or simulation results show that there is no static dangerous, but in fact the risk may still exist. In general, we should not use multi-level combinational logic to clock the flip-flop in the PLD design.Traveling-wave clock clock another popular use of traveling-wave circuit is the clock, that is, the output of a flip-flop used as a clock input of another flip-flop. If careful design, traveling-wave clock can be the same as the global clock to work reliably. However, the traveling-wave clock made from time to time with the calculation of the circuit becomes very complicated. Line-wave traveling-wave clock flip-flop of the chain have a greater clock time between the offset and exceed the worst case the set-up time, hold time and clock to the output circuit of the delay, allowing the system to the actual slowed down.Multi-clock system, many system requirements within the same multi-PLD clock. The most common example is the two asynchronous interfaces between microprocessors, or microprocessors and asynchronous communication channel interface. As the clock signal between the two requirements to establish and maintain a certain time, so that the above application from time to time the introduction ofadditional constraints. They also requested that some asynchronous synchronization signal.In many applications, only the synchronization of asynchronous signals is not enough, when the system of two or more non-homologous clock, the data it is difficult to establish and maintain the time to be assured that we will face the complex matter of time . The best way is to all non-homologous clock synchronization. PLD internal use of the lock loop (PLL or DLL) is a very good, but not all of PLD with a PLL, DLL, and chip PLL with most expensive, so unless there are special requirements, the general occasions PLL can not use with the PLD.At this time we need to take to enable the use of the D flip-flop-side, and the introduction of a high-frequency clock.采纳L ED 数码管的数字显示以其亮度高、显示直观等优点被广泛应用于智能仪器及家用电器等领域. 本文介绍一种以AT89C52单片机为核心,以共阳极高亮度L ED 数码管作为显示器件组成7 位数字显示的实用多功能电子时钟的设计,该时钟可显示星期、时、分、秒,也可切换为年、月、日显示,同时具有整点音乐报时及按时闹钟等功能,也可作电子秒表使用.时钟电路是计算机的心脏, 它控制着计算机的工作节奏就是通过复杂的时序电路完成份歧的指令功能的.时钟, 自从它被发明的那天起, 就成为人们生活中必不成少的一种工具, 尤其是在现在这个讲究效率的年代, 时钟更是在人类生产、生活、学习等多个领域获得广泛的应用.然而随着时间的推移, 人们不单对时钟精度的要求越来越高, 而且对时钟功能的要求也越来越多, 时钟已不单仅是一种用来显示时间的工具, 在很多实际应用中它还需要能够实现更多其它的功能.诸如闹钟功能、日历显示功能、温度丈量功能、湿度丈量功能、电压丈量功能、频率丈量功能、过欠压报警功能等.钟表的数字化给人们的生发生活带来了极年夜的方便, 而且年夜年夜地扩展了钟表原先的报时功能.诸如按时自动报警、按时自动打铃、时间法式自动控制、按时广播、自动起闭路灯、按时开关烘箱、通断动力设备、甚至各种按时电气的自动启用等, 所有这些, 都是以钟表数字化为基础的.可以说, 设计多功能数字时钟的意义已不只在于数字时钟自己, 更年夜的意义在于多功能数字时钟在许多实时控制系统中的应用.在很多实际应用中, 只要对数字时钟的法式和硬件电路加以一定的修改, 即可以获得实时控制的实用系统, 从而应用到实际工作与生产中去.因此, 研究数字时钟及扩年夜其应用, 有着非常现实的意义.随着人类科技文明的发展, 人们对时钟的要求在不竭地提高.时钟已不单仅被看成一种用来显示时间的工具, 在很多实际应用中它还需要能够实现更多其它的功能.高精度、多功能、小体积、低功耗, 是现代时钟发展的趋势.在这种趋势下, 时钟的数字化、多功能化已经成为现代时钟生产研究的主导设计方向.本文正是基于这种设计方向, 以单片机为控制核心, 设计制作一个符合指标要求的多功能数字时钟.本设计基于单片机技术原理, 以单片机芯片AT89C52作为核心控制器, 通过硬件电路的制作以及软件法式的编制, 设计制作出一个多功能数字时钟系统.该时钟系统主要由时钟模块、闹钟模块、环境温度检测模块、液晶显示模块、键盘控制模块以及信号提示模块组成.系统具有简单清晰的把持界面, 能在4V~7V直流电源下正常工作.能够准确显示时间(显示格式为时时:分分:秒秒, 24小时制), 可随时进行时间调整, 具有闹钟时间设置、闹钟开/关、止闹功能, 能够对时钟所在的环境温度进行丈量并显示.设计以硬件软件化为指导思想, 充沛发挥单片机功能, 年夜部份功能通过软件编程来实现, 电路简单明了, 系统稳定性高.同时, 该时钟系统还具有功耗小、本钱低的特点, 具有很强的实用性.由于系统所用元器件较少, 单片机所被占用的I/O口未几, 因此系统具有一定的可扩展性.时钟设计无沦是用离散逻辑、可编程逻辑, 还是用全定制硅器件实现的任何数字设计, 为了胜利地把持, 可靠的时钟是非常关键的.设计不良的时钟在极限的温度、电压或制造工艺的偏差情况下将招致毛病的行为, 而且调试困难、花销很年夜.在设计FPGA/CPLD时通常采纳几种时钟类型.时钟可分为如下四种类型:全局时钟、门控时钟、多级逻辑时钟和摆荡式时钟.多时钟系统能够包括上述四种时钟类型的任意组合.无论采纳何种方式, 电路中真实的时钟树也无法到达假定的理想时钟, 因此我们必需依据理想时钟, 建立一个实际工作时钟模型来分析电路, 这样才可以使得电路的实际工作效果和预期的一样.在实际的时钟模型中, 我们要考虑时钟树传布中的偏斜、跳变和绝对垂直的偏差以及其它一些不确定因素.对寄存器而言, 那时钟工作沿到来时它的数据端应该已经稳定, 这样才华保证时钟工作沿采样到数据的正确性, 这段数据的预备时间我们称之为建立时间(setup time).数据同样应该在时钟工作沿过去后坚持一段时间, 这段时间称为坚持时间(hold time).全局时钟对一个设计项目来说, 全局时钟(或同步时钟)是最简单和最可预测的时钟.在PLD/FPGA设计中最好的时钟方案是:由专用的全局时钟输入引脚驱动的单个主时钟去钟控设计项目中的每一个触发器.只要可能就应尽量在设计项目中采纳全局时钟.PLD/FPGA都具有专门的全局时钟引脚, 它直接连到器件中的每一个寄存器.这种全局时钟提供器件中最短的时钟到输出的延时.门控时钟在许多应用中, 整个设计项目都采纳外部的全局时钟是不成能或不实际的.PLD具有乘积项逻辑阵列时钟(即时钟是由逻辑发生的), 允许任意函数独自地钟控各个触发器.然而, 当你用阵列时钟时, 应仔细地分析时钟函数, 以防止毛刺.通经常使用阵列时钟构成门控时钟.门控时钟经常同微处置器接口有关, 用地址线去控制写脉冲.然而, 每当用组合函数钟控触发器时, 通常都存在着门控时钟.如果符合下述条件, 门控时钟可以象全局时钟一样可靠地工作:驱动时钟的逻辑必需只包括一个“与”门或一个“或”门.如果采纳任何附加逻在某些工作状态下, 会呈现竞争发生的毛刺.逻辑门的一个输入作为实际的时钟, 而该逻辑门的所有其它输入必需当做地址或控制线, 它们遵守相对时钟的建立和坚持时间的约束.多级逻辑时钟当发生门控时钟的组合逻辑超越一级(即超越单个的“与”门或“或”门)时, 证设计项目的可靠性变得很困难.即使样机或仿真结果没有显示出静态险象, 但实际上仍然可能存在着危险.通常, 我们不应该用多级组合逻辑去钟控PLD设计中的触发器.行波时钟另一种流行的时钟电路是采纳行波时钟, 即一个触发器的输出用作另一个触发器的时钟输入.如果仔细地设计, 行波时钟可以象全局时钟一样地可靠工作.然而, 行波时钟使得与电路有关的按时计算变得很复杂.行波时钟在行波链上各触发器的时钟之间发生较年夜的时间偏移, 而且会超越最坏情况下的建立时间、坚持时间和电路中时钟到输出的延时, 使系统的实际速度下降.多时钟系统许多系统要求在同一个PLD内采纳多时钟.最罕见的例子是两个异步微处置器器之间的接口, 或微处置器和异步通信通道的接口.由于两个时钟信号之间要求一定的建立和坚持时间, 所以, 上述应用引进了附加的按时约束条件.它们也会要求将某些异步信号同步化.在许多应用中只将异步信号同步化还是不够的, 当系统中有两个或两个以上非同源时钟的时候, 数据的建立和坚持时间很难获得保证, 我们将面临复杂的时间问题.最好的方法是将所有非同源时钟同步化.使用PLD内部的锁项环(PLL或DLL)是一个效果很好的方法, 但不是所有PLD都带有PLL、DLL, 而且带有PLL功能的芯片年夜多价格昂贵, 所以除非有特殊要求, 一般场所可以不使用带PLL的PLD.这时我们需要使用带使能真个D触发器, 并引入一个高频时钟.创作时间:二零二一年六月三十日。

Thereby a reference symbol RS consisting of a sequence of a plurality of synchronisation patterns SP and followed by data symbols, which are both modulated (13) on a RF-frequency is provided. The received reference symbol (RS) is correlated with a delayed version of itself and the correlation peak is identified giving the position and complex correlation result that can be used for the timing and frequency synchronisation of a digital communication system. According to the present invention the phase of the last and/or the first of the plurality of synchronisation patterns SP of said reference symbol RS (or a part or a multiple thereof) is phase shifted, e.g. by 180°, before the transmission step. According to the present invention therefore the effects of random contribution of adjacent data symbols of the reference symbol to a correlation calculation based on a synchronisation algorithm can be entirely eliminated. Through the inversion of the last synchronisation pattern and the reference symbol the correlation peak, which is used to determine the symbol timing, is offset inside the reference symbol. Thus, the precision of the timing error estimation is improved significantly.申请人:SONY INTERNATIONAL (EUROPE) GMBH 代理机构:Frommer Lawrence & Haug, LLP.代理人:William S. Frommer,Bruno Polito更多信息请下载全文后查看。

For more on PXI power and cooling, see this white paper.** Clock rates >133 MHz will have a non-50% duty cycle.Detailed View of PXIe-6571 Digital Pattern InstrumentKey FeaturesHardware OverviewPXI Digital Pattern Instruments have several types of vector and dynamic pattern memory and feature pin electronics. The block diagram in Figure 1 shows the instruments’ functional hardware components.Figure 1. PXI Digital Pattern Instruments offer advanced ATE memory features like history, source, and capturememory with the right levels of user abstraction.Timing and ExecutionPXI Digital Pattern Instruments burst digital data based on patterns that are made up of individual vectors. The time set includes the period of the vector in time, a drive format for the pin, and placement of the digital edges.The drive formats, or vector formats, supported by these instruments are non-return, return to low, return to high, and surround by complement. Having the ability to use all of these formats gives engineers the ability to make the most efficient digital interface with as few vectors as necessary.Figure 2. The combination of drive format and pattern value will determine what the digital waveform looks like. Each time set for a PXI Digital Pattern Instrument has a defined period, up to six drive edges, and a compare strobe. The time sets for a PXI Digital Pattern Instrument have up to six drive edges and a compare strobe to act on the formats defined above. Drive on and drive off are edges that determine when the pin drivers will enable and disable. Drive data and drive return define when the pin driver will assert a high or low level. The drive return edge is only used in return vector formats. The compare strobe specifies the time in a vector when the pin comparator determines if the pin is at a high, low, or midband voltage level based on defined thresholds.Pin ElectronicsPin electronics provide the electrical interface to the DUT and allows the engineer to drive or receive digital data and emulate the conditions of other loads and components interacting with the device.In a drive state, the pin driver of the pin electronics is engaged and forces the voltage on the pin to be low or high as determined by a 0 or 1 in the pattern. A pin driver will source or sink up to 32 mA to achieve the defined high or low value on the pin when enabled. Digital pattern instruments use 0 and 1 to represent drive pin states.Compare states are non-drive states that use the comparators of the pin electronics to assess incoming data against predefined thresholds. Comparators are included in pin electronics and have settable levels for high and low voltages that are made in context to the DUT. To represent the different non-drive states that a pin can take, L, H, X, V, E, and M are all used.Figure 3. Pin drivers and comparators within the pin electronics use defined voltage levels for drive and comparestates in the digital pattern.NI STS Integration and Digital System SynchronizationPXI Digital Pattern Instruments make up the digital test subsystem of the STS. The instruments are supported in all STS software and are calibrated using a timing calibration load board and a DC calibration load board, both from NI. The diagnostic software and calibration tools ensure high reliability and uptime of the system. It also gives a single system the ability to have many unified digital test resources.Figure 4. With PXI Digital Pattern Instruments, more test engineers can take advantage of the STS, a PXI-based,open platform semiconductor production test system. Synchronization and IntegrationPXI Digital Pattern Instruments can be synchronized together within a single PXI chassis using a PXI timing and synchronization module and the NI-Sync device driver. This synchronization can be done both within the STS and in a stand-alone PXI chassis. By synchronizing multiple instruments, a single digital subsystem can have up to 512 synchronized channels that achieve a specified edge placement accuracy performance. A unified digital subsystem can span single sites and combine match and failed conditions across multiple digital pattern instruments.Figure 5. PXI Digital Pattern Instruments can be synchronized using a PXI Timing and Synchronization module tocreate a digital subsystem of many unified channels.Digital Pattern Editor Application SoftwareThe Digital Pattern Editor is an interactive tool for importing, editing, or creating test patterns. The editor also includes tools like Shmoo plots to provide a deeper understanding of DUT performance across variation, as well as debug tools like overlaying pattern failures on a pattern or using digital scope to get an analog view of the pin data. Features like multisite and multi-instrument pattern bursting empower the engineer to expand from development into production leveraging the same workflow. All of the sheets developed in the Digital Pattern Editor can be reused by the API in LabVIEW, C, or .NET languages, as well as in the TestStand Semiconductor Module.Pattern Development and FormatA pattern file is a collection of vectors, with each vector containing time sets, labels, opcodes, pin states, and comments. The Digital Pattern Editor has development sheets for all of these items as well as debug tools for refining patterns, time sets, and specifications. A compiled, binary version of the pattern file is required to edit or burst. Engineers can compile an ASCII text pattern file format (.digipatsrc) into a binary version using the Digital Pattern Editor or a command line process. The ASCII form can be used to convert existing patterns by following the well-defined pattern file format. Design simulation and SCAN files generated by EDA tools can be cyclized and targeted to the NI format using existing customer in-house EDA workflows or third-party cyclizing tools.Figure 6. The Digital Pattern Editor is powerful development and debug software for semiconductor digital tests. The window can be configured to view development sheets and debugging tools all at the same time.History RAM Overlay Feature and History RAM ViewEngineers can view the History RAM in two ways: using the History RAM overlay feature in the pattern document and looking at the History RAM view. The History RAM overlay displays the subset of burst results that corresponds to vectors in the current pattern based on the settings specified in the History RAM and signal setup pane. The History RAM view includes the corresponding time sets, labels, opcodes, pattern names, vectors/cycles, pin data, and comments. Rebursting a pattern overwrites the data in the History RAM overlay mode and in the History RAM view.Digital ScopeTo aid engineers in debugging patterns, the digital scope tool displays a progressively updated two-dimensional plot of the actual analog levels of the digital waveform along with the expected data from the pattern.Shmoo PlotThe Shmoo tool displays a dynamically updated intensity plot of pass and fail values for a sweep of two variables. The Shmoo executes on multiple sites and engineers can switch the plot results displayed from site to site during the operation without hindering the sweep’s completion.The Shmoo can sweep up to two variables including levels, voltages, currents, edges, or specifications at a time. The Shmoo operation can execute in sweep, zigzag, progressive resolution, or edge traversal mode.Figure 7. PXI Digital Pattern Instruments and the Digital Pattern Editor give semiconductor test engineers the featuresand tools they need in characterization and production.NI-Digital Pattern Application Programming Interface (API)The NI-Digital Pattern Driver includes a best-in-class API that works with a variety of development options such as LabVIEW, C, and .NET languages. To ensure long-term interoperability of PXI Digital Pattern Instruments, the NI-Digital Pattern Driver API is the same API used for all past and current PXI Digital Pattern Instruments. The driver also provides access to help files, documentation, and ready-to-run shipping examples you can use as a starting point for your application.Platform-Based Approach to Test and MeasurementWhat Is PXI?Powered by software, PXI is a rugged PC-based platform for measurement and automation systems. PXI combines PCI electrical-bus features with the modular, Eurocard packaging of CompactPCI and then adds specialized synchronization buses and key software features. PXI is both a high-performance and low-cost deployment platform for applications such as manufacturing test, military and aerospace, machine monitoring, automotive, and industrial test. Developed in 1997 and launched in 1998, PXI is an open industry standard governed by the PXI Systems Alliance (PXISA), a group of more than 70 companies chartered to promote the PXI standard, ensure interoperability, and maintain the PXI specification.Integrating the Latest Commercial TechnologyBy leveraging the latest commercial technology for our products, we can continually deliver high-performance and high-quality products to our users at a competitive price. The latest PCI Express Gen 3 switches deliver higher data throughput, the latest Intel multicore processors facilitate faster and more efficient parallel (multisite) testing, the latest FPGAs from Xilinx help to push signal processing algorithms to the edge to accelerate measurements, and the latest data converters from TI and ADI continuallyincrease the measurement range and performance of our instrumentation.PXI InstrumentationNI offers more than 600 different PXI modules ranging from DC to mmWave. Because PXI is an open industry standard, nearly 1,500 products are available from more than 70 different instrument vendors.

OverviewThe National Instruments 5122 high-resolution digitizer features two 100 MS/s simultaneously sampled input channels with 14-bit resolution, 100 MHz bandwidth,and up to 256 MB of memory per channel in a compact,3U PXI or PCI module.With its high sampling rate and low-distortion front end,the NI 5122 is ideal for a wide range of applications in automotive,communications,scientific research,military/aerospace, and consumer ing National Instruments new Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) architecture,you can easily synchronize to other analog and digital instruments to develop high-channel-count or mixed-signal test systems.Analog Input PerformanceThe NI 5122 uses 14-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), low-noise variable-gain amplifiers,and a low-jitter 100 MHz timebase to deliver 75 dBc spurious-free dynamic range and 62 dB signal-to-noise ratio.The 14-bit data converters have 64 times the resolution of traditional 8-bit instruments,providing more accurate time and frequency-domain measurements.Software selectable 50 Ωor 1 MΩinput impedance,input ranges from 200 mV pp to 20 V pp,seven trigger modes,and antialias and noise filters make the NI 5122 versatile enough to meet the most demanding application requirements.The programmable DC offset feature maximizes the use of the entire 14-bits of vertical resolution.Onboard self-calibration also ensures measurement stability over the entire operating temperature range of0 to 55 °C.Deep Onboard Acquisition MemoryThe NI 5122,based on the SMC architecture,comes with either 8,32 or 256 MB of high-speed memory per channel (4,32,or 128 million 14-bit samples per channel).The NI 5122 can acquire more than 1 million triggered waveforms without software intervention in multiple-record acquisition mode,for applications such as RADAR, ultrasound,and event detection,which require short trigger rearm times.In addition,you can timestamp each triggered event with 100 ps resolution in both single-shot and multiple record acquisition modes. The NI 5122 also can stream data continuously from onboard memory to host memory for longer acquisitions and streaming to disk.The high-speed PCI bus and the scatter-gather bus mastering capabilities of the NI MITE ASIC move data to the computer at speeds up to 100 times faster than traditional instrument interfaces,thereby dramatically decreasing overall test time.TriggeringThe NI5122 digitizer has three trigger sources – analog,digital,and software pare the input signal on either channel or the external trigger channel to one or two thresholds for edge,hysteresis,or window trigger detection.Y ou can also use line-selectable video triggering for NTSC,PAL,or SECAM broadcast standards.Drive andreceive digital triggers to and from the PXI or RTSI trigger bus or the•2 channels simultaneously sampled at 14-bit resolution•100 MS/s real-time and 2.0 GS/s random interleaved sampling •100 MHz bandwidth•50 Ωor 1 MΩinput impedance, software selectable•200 mV to 20 V input range•75 dBc SFDR and 62 dB SINAD •8,32,or 256 MB of memoryper channel•Edge,window,hysteresis,video, and digital triggering with100 ps timestampingModels•NI PCI-5122•NI PXI-5122Operating Systems•Windows 2000/XP Recommended Software •LabVIEW™•LabWindows/CVI •Measurement Studio™Other Compatible Software •Visual Basic•C/C++Application Software (included)•Spectral Measurements Toolkit (32 and 256 MB/channelmodels only)Driver Software (included)•NI-SCOPENI 5122Figure 1.

On the Synchronization Techniques for Wireless OFDM SystemsBo Ai,Member,IEEE,Zhi-xing Yang,Chang-yong Pan,Jian-hua Ge,Yong Wang,Member,IEEE,and Zhen LuAbstract—The latest research works on the synchronization scheme for either continuous transmission mode or burst packet transmission mode for the wireless OFDM communications are overviewed in this paper.The typical algorithms dealing with the symbol timing synchronization,the carrier frequency syn-chronization as well as the sampling clock synchronization are briefly introduced and analyzed.Three improved methods for the fine symbol timing synchronization in frequency domain are also proposed,with several key issues on the synchronization for the OFDM systems discussed.Index Terms—Carrier frequency synchronization,continuous mode and burst packet mode transmission systems,OFDM, sampling clock synchronization,symbol timing synchronization.I.I NTRODUCTIONO FDM,associated with other related technologies have found its wide applications in many scientific areas due to its high spectrum efficiency,its robustness against both multi-path and pulse noises,its highly reliable transmission speed under serious channel conditions,adaptive modulation for each sub-carrier according to the channel conditions, and etc.It has become fundamental technology in the future 4G-multimedia mobile communications systems[1].Many digital transmission systems have adopted OFDM as the modulation technique such as digital video broadcasting terrestrial TV(DVB-T)[2],digital audio broadcasting(DAB), terrestrial integrated services digital broadcasting(ISDB-T), digital subscriber line(xDSL),WLAN systems based on the IEEE802.11(a)[3]or Hiperlan2,multimedia mobile access communications(MMAC),and thefixed wireless access(FW A) system in IEEE802.16.3standard.OFDM has also found its application in Cable TV systems.Technologies fundamentally based on OFDM,such as vector OFDM(V-OFDM),wide-band OFDM(W-OFDM),flash OFDM(F-OFDM)have also shown their great advantages in certain application areas.There are some disadvantages,however,appeared in the OFDM systems,for example,the large Peak-to Average Power Ratio(PAPR)as well as high sensitivity to the synchronization errors.Synchronization issues are of great importance in allManuscript received April26,2005;revised October27,2005.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Funds in China(Nos. 50177001,60372007,and60332030)and by the Ministry of Information Industry Foundation under Grant no.2002291.B.Ai is with the Dept.of E&E Tsinghua University,State Key Lab.on Microwave and Digital Communications,China(100084).He is also with the Engineering College of Armed Police Force,Xi’an,China(710086)(e-mail: abeffort_apple@).Z.Yang and C.Pan are with the Dept.of E&E Tsinghua University,State Key Lab.on Microwave and Digital Communications,China(100084).J.Ge and Y.Wang are with the National key Lab.of Integrated Service Net-works,Xidian Univ.,Xi’an,China(710071).Z.Lu is with the Dept.of Electronic Engineering in Shanghai Jiaotong Uni-versity,China(200052).Digital Object Identifier10.1109/TBC.2006.872990digital communications systems,especially in the OFDM systems.Synchronization errors not only cause inter-symbol interference(ISI)but also introduce inter-carrier interference (ICI)due to the loss of orthogonality among all sub-carriers. In this paper,we focus on the synchronization schemes in the OFDM systems.Fundamental theory for the synchronization is briefly described in Section II and in Section III,the symbol timing scheme and three improved methods for thefine symbol timing in frequency domain are proposed.We then conduct the analysis on the carrier frequency recovery as well as the sampling clock synchronization methods in Sections IV and V respectively.In Section VI,joint estimation of all the synchro-nization errors including timing,frequency and phase offsets is simply described.Technical forecast is made in Section VII with conclusions drawn in Section VIII.II.O VERVIEW FOR THE S YNCHRONIZATION IN OFDM S YSTEMS Synchronization is of great importance for all digital com-munication systems.OFDM systems are very sensitive to both timing and carrier frequency offset,especially,when combined with other multi-access techniques such as FDMA,TDMA,and CDMA.Therefore,synchronization is extremely crucial to the OFDM systems.A.Three Synchronization Issues in the OFDM Systems There are three major synchronization issues in the OFDM systems:a.The symbol timing synchronization,which is to deter-mine the correct symbol start position before the FFT de-modulation at the receiver end.b.The carrier frequency synchronization(i.e.,carrier fre-quency recovery technique),which is utilized to eliminate the carrier frequency offset caused by the mismatch from the local oscillators between the transmitter and the re-ceiver,nonlinear characteristic of the wireless channel as well as the Doppler shift.c.The sampling clock synchronization,which is to miti-gate the sampling clock errors due to the mismatch of the crystal oscillators.All these synchronization errors will significantly degrade system performance[4],[5].B.Synchronization Technologies in the Continuous Mode and Burst Packet Mode Transmission SystemsAccurate synchronization is indispensable to suppress the negative impact of the synchronization errors in the commu-nication systems no matter,whether it is in continuous or burst packet mode transmission systems.However,these two different modes require different synchronization schemes:0018-9316/$20.00©2006IEEEa.In the burst packet mode,synchronization ought to beestablished at any time because when data streams are ready to transmit is unknown The duration of the training symbols used for synchronization in this mode is rela-tively short and synchronization should be done within a single training symbol time for the systems such as IEEE 802.11(a)[3]and HiperLan/2to avoid the reduction of the system capacity.It is inappropriate to do averaging over many symbols or pilots because of the stringent re-quirement on synchronization time and the less number of sub-carriers.It is also important for the systems in this mode to establish the synchronization in time domain and this will greatly reduce the acquisition time since it avoids the feedback from frequency domain.b.In the continuous mode such as DAB,DVB-T[2]sys-tems,averaging method can be used to improve the es-timation accuracy because there is no stringent require-ment on the acquisition time.In this mode,large numbers of sub-carriers has been utilized and,it is appropriate to apply the cyclic prefix(CP)or pilots to these synchroniza-tion methods.III.S YMBOL T IMING S YNCHRONIZATIONWhen signals are transmitted through severe channel con-ditions of multi-path fading,pulse noise disturbance and the Doppler Shift,it is important to solve symbol timing synchro-nization problemfirst during the design process of an OFDM receiver.The symbol timing error can not only disturb the amplitude as well as the phase of the received signal,but also introduce ISI. In order to perform the FFT demodulation correctly,the symbol timing synchronization must be done to determine the starting point(i.e.FFT window)of the OFDM symbol.The cyclic prefix (CP,or Guard Interval,GIB)can be removed afterwards.The concept of the GIB wasfirst proposed by A.Peled[6],which can prevent OFDM symbols from ISI disturbance and keeps the orthogonality among all the sub-carriers.Fig.1shows the vari-ation of the signal constellation due to the symbol timing errors. Fig.1(a)and(1b)represent the symbol starting point within GIB(case1)and outside ISI-Free region(case2)respectively. It clearly shows how bad the signal constellation could be due to the symbol timing errors.Accurate and steady symbol timing synchronization can be realized through the coarse symbol timing,thefine symbol timing as well as the symbol timing control structure combined together.The coarse symbol timing synchronization isfirst executed in time domain and then,thefine symbol timing in frequency domain is done to ensure a more accurate estimation. The symbol timing control structure is utilized to coordinate the operations of the coarse and thefine symbol timing.A.The Coarse Symbol Timing Algorithms in Continuous Mode The conventional algorithms for the coarse symbol timing synchronization in time domain are MLE(Maximum Like-lihood Estimation)utilizing the cyclic prefix of the OFDM symbols.The most representative algorithm was proposed by J.J.Van de Beek[7].However,good performanceachieves(a)(b)Fig.1.(a)Constellation variation due to the symbol timing error.The total subcarriers N=2048,cyclic prefix L=128,64-QAM mapping.No carrier frequency and sampling clock offset.The normalized symbol timing offset is 36(samples)Case1.(b)Constellation variation due to the symbol timing error. The total subcarriers N=2048,cyclic prefix L=128,64-QAM mapping. No carrier frequency and sampling clock offset.The normalized symbol timing offset is36(samples)Case2.only under the AWGN channel.When the channel condition becomes severely degraded,data in GIB is badly contaminated by ISI,there will be significantfluctuation for the starting point estimated for the OFDM symbol.And suchfluctuation will have the significant influence on the carrier frequency offset as well as the sampling clock offset estimation in frequency domain.To improve the performance of ML Estimator,a novel scheme utilizing both CP and pilots to do the coarse symbol timing synchronization was proposed by ndström [8].It has better performance compared to that of[7]under the multi-path fading channel.However,the nonnegligible fluctuation still exists because of the ISI contamination on the data within GIB and the limited number of pilots used for estimation.In order to mitigate thefluctuation,T.M.Schmidlintroduced a new method making use of the training symbols in time domain,in which a timing function was defined[9]. It has better performance compared to those proposed by J.J.Van de Beek and ndström.Unfortunately,it has a“flat region”in the estimation,which,to a great extent,increases the variance of the symbol timing estimator.Some new schemes has been proposed in the literatures [10]–[13]in recent years to overcome the defects of the al-gorithms mentioned above,with the target to decrease the fluctuation of the starting point of the estimated symbol as well as to make the estimation within the ISI-Free region.The convolution characteristic of the cyclic prefix are utilized in literature[10],while,PN sequences are adopted in[11]–[13], to take the advantage of the intrinsic,fairly good correlation property of PN:Kasami sequence is utilized in[11]with the excellent correlation properties;and in[12],[13],a novel timing recovery methods for TDS-OFDM(key techniques for the Terrestrial Digital Multimedia/Television Broadcasting System,namely DMB-T proposed by Tsinghua University [14])is developed.This scheme is based on the searching and tracking on the correlation peaks of the PN sequences,which is as the GIB for each OFDM symbol.Because of the excellent correlation properties of the so-called m-sequence,the perfor-mance of these algorithms[10]–[13]outperforms those from[7]–[9]under the multi-path fading channels.B.The Fine Symbol Timing Synchronization in Continuous ModeThefine symbol timing synchronization in frequency domain is often required to guarantee the estimation accuracy.A pre-amble structure including a synchronizationfield(S-filed)and a cell-searchingfield(C-field)is proposed in literature[15]with thefine symbol timing done by using the cell identification method.In[16],a specially designed pilot symbol structure is utilized to generate afine symbol timing -puter simulations and analysis verify their good estimation per-formances but low bandwidth efficiency.The residual symbol timing error may cause the phase rotation of the sub-carriers in frequency domain.In this Section,we propose three improved algorithms to do thefine symbol timing based on the algorithm introduced by[17].Computer simulations show that these pro-posed methods have better performance compared with the al-gorithm in[17]when under serious channel conditions.In the following,we referred the algorithm in[17]as Algorithm1,and named our proposed methods as Algorithm2,Algorithm3and Algorithm4respectively.Algorithm2:(1)(2)Where,denotes the number of scattered pilots(SP),isa complex variable forthe SP inthe OFDMsymbol,is the phase deviation of the two adjacent SP’s causedby the symbol timing offsetof OFDM symbol,is thedistance between the two adjacent SP’s.,,denotestheFig.2.Performance comparison among Algorithm1,2,3,and4for thesymbol

offset,useful symbol duration pe-riod and the nominal sampling frequency respectively.This al-gorithm has the same limited estimation range as that in Algo-rithm1and its estimation accuracy is influenced by the carrierfrequency offset[17].Algorithm3::Algorithm1and2perform the estimation onthe adjacent SP’s within the same OFDM symbol.In algorithm3and4,we derive the offset for thefine symbol timing from thepilots in the two consecutive OFDM symbols(Fig.2).Thatis,(3)Where,denotes the complex conjugationof,Algorithm4::The same as that in Algorithm3,SP’s of con-secutive OFDM symbols can be utilized.But the only differentfrom algorithm3is the phase characteristic of known pilots isnow givenby:(4)Lots of computer simulations validate the following conclu-sions:a.The performances of algorithms2and4outperformthat of algorithms1and3under multi-path fading channels re-spectively.This is because the phase characteristic is utilized inalgorithms2and4,while,the power characteristic is utilizedin algorithms1and3.It is well known that,power character-istic is much more sensitive to the multi-path fading channelsthan phase characteristic.b.When the normalized decimal car-rier frequency offset is less than certain value(about0.15thatof sub-carrier spacing),the performance of algorithms3and4outperform that of algorithms1and2and the best estimationresults can be obtained with Algorithm4.c.When the normal-ized decimal carrier frequency offset is larger than certain value(about0.15that of sub-carrier spacing),the performances of al-gorithms1and2outperform that of algorithms3and4and thebest estimation results can be achieved by Algorithm2.The de-tailed analysis for the effects of the carrier frequency offset onthefine symbol timing synchronization can be found in[17].Fig.3.Frequency synchronization estimator.C.The Symbol Timing Synchronization Algorithms in Burst Packet Transmission ModeThe synchronization requirements vary with the applications, therefore,we should adopt the appropriate synchronization techniques in both continuous and burst packet transmission modes respectively.As being discussed in Section II-B,it is inappropriate to do the symbol timing synchronization with pi-lots in the burst packet mode due to the stringent requirements on synchronization time.In[18],a novel scheme to do the coarse symbol timing with training symbols is proposed and, the computer simulations based on IEEE802.11(a)standard [3]illustrate that more accurate coarse symbol timing synchro-nization can be achieved by the convolution method in time domain than that by the ordinary MLE method,no matter it is in the office environment[19]or under much severe channel conditions[2].This really comes from the fully utilization of the convolution property of CP.D.Symbol Timing Synchronization Control ModelOther than the accuracy of the estimation in the symbol timing synchronization process,the robust and efficient syn-chronization control structure to ensure the system stability is also requested.A new symbol timing synchronization control model has been proposed in[10].Similar to those control models in[17],[20],it also has two synchronization states:the acquisition state and the tracking state.The difference is that the threshold and counters are utilized to perform the control process with less computational complexity than those in[17].IV.C ARRIER F REQUENCY R ECOVERY T ECHNIQUES Carrier frequency offset(CFO)caused by the Doppler shift, local oscillators mismatch between the transmitter and the re-ceiver ends,may introduce ICI and destroy the orthogonality of OFDM sub-carriers,resulting in the losses of SNR.With the insertion of the GIB in OFDM symbols,symbol timing error within a certain range will not introduce ISI and ICI.OFDM system is more sensitive to the CFO and the sampling clock offset(SCO).Regarding to higher modulation modes such as 64-QAM,tiny CFO may introduce severe degradation on the system performance[21].Carrier frequencyoffset puts an extra phase factorofin the received signal,where is the sub-carrierspacing,is the CFO normalizedby and is usu-ally divided into an integerpart,(multiple of the sub-carrier spacing,causing a shift of the sub-carrier indices),and a dec-imalpart,(less than half of the sub-carrier spacing,causes a number of impairments,including attenuation and rotation of the sub-carriers and ICI).We can divide CFO into three parts:the integer part,the coarse decimal part and thefine decimal part.CFO can usually be compensated for through the following procedures shown in Fig.3.First,a coarse symbol starting point for the FFT demod-ulation is provided by the coarse symbol timing module and then,the estimation and correction of the coarse decimal fre-quency offset in time domain is performed to minimize the ICI impact on the estimation in frequency domain,with the integerpart estimated in frequency domain to get the correct sub-car-rier index.Finally,the residual frequencyoffset,i.e.thefine decimal frequency offset is estimated.A tracking loop structure (the Acquisition and the Tracking Mode Switching module)can be exploited to coordinate the coarse decimal part,the integer part and thefine decimal part of the frequency offset.Each of them makes unique contribution to the recovery of the carrier frequency offset[50].Many literatures have discussed how to make OFDM systems less sensitive to the carrier frequency offset,for instances,per-form the windowing on the transmitted signals or use self-can-cellation schemes[22],[23].However,long prefix adopted in systems with these approaches results in low bandwidth effi-ciency.Generally,we can divide the carrier frequency recovery algorithms into three categories:a.Methods are based on training symbols or pilots[9],[24]–[33],named Data Aided(DA)method.b.Methods use of the intrinsic structure of OFDM symbols,e.g.cyclic prefix[7],[34]–[40],which is called Non DataAided(NDA)method.c.Blind approaches [41]–[43],which relies on the signal statistics and often has very high computational com-plexity,some approaches may have extra requirements on the channel statistics.A.Integer Carrier Frequency OffsetThe integer as well as the coarse decimal CFO correction can make the sub-carriers spacing offset less than half of sub-car-rier spacing in the present of more than tens of sub-carriers.Most algorithms for the integer CFO estimation [9],[29],[31],[44]–[47]nowadays have two major defects:a.Limited esti-mation range on CFO;b.Stringent requirement on the symbol timing synchronization.The earliest algorithm in this category was proposed by P.H.Moose [47]with the estimation rangelimitedwithin,that is,only 1/2that of sub-carrier spacing.P.H.Moose tried to overcome this problem by increasing thesub-carrier spacing to avoid phase offsetexceeding .How-ever,the increase of sub-carrierspacing satisfying (5)may decrease the useful OFDM symbol durationtime ,resulting in tighter requirements on the symbol timing synchronization.Besides,the increase of the sub-carrier spacing will not enlarge the range of the integer part estimation to a very largeextent.(5)T.M.Schmidl et al.,later,proposed an improved algorithm [9]with better performance under multi-path fading channel,and its estimation range was one time wider than that by P.H.Moose [47].Unfortunately,a large pre fix is still needed,for ex-ample,in DVB-T [2]systems,pre fix (2k mode)must be used.On the other hand,its estimation range is still very limited and is sensitive to the symbol timing errors.Three improved estimation algorithms are proposed in litera-ture [48]to overcome these defects.All of them use the power and phase characteristic of the known pilots,which is insensitive to the symbol timing errors and have a wider estimation rangeof integer part of CFO (i.e.,as largeas,with the total number of useful sub-carriers in one OFDM symbol).B.Coarse Decimal Carrier Frequency OffsetAs mentioned earlier,CFO estimation should follow three procedures.If the decimal part of CFO,however,can be es-timated in frequency domain,why should we carry out the coarse CFO estimation in time domain first?There are two main reasons:a.To reduce ICI caused by CFO,which lays the foundation on a more accurate CFO estimation in frequency domain;b.To estimate and compensate for the CFO all in time do-main,reducing the synchronization time,and is suitable for the systems of burst packet transmission mode.The early-proposed typical algorithm on the coarse decimal CFO estimation was from J.J.Van de Beek et al.[7]with CP characteristic exploited.T.M.Schimdl et al.,later,proposed a new algorithm named SCA [9].However,either of them has a very stringent requirement on the symbol timing.An improved algorithm,not so sensitive to the symbol timing errors was pro-posed recently in literature [49],with only(is the length of the Guard Interval)correlation window length utilized for es-timation,avoiding the data portion contaminated by the incor-rect phase information from the symbol timing errors.Computer simulations show that when the decimal part of the CFO approaches to 0.5of the sub-carrier spacing,the estimated value may,due to the multi-path fading,the phase noises as well as the discontinuity of the arctangent function,jump to the inverse polarity,as pointed out in literature [47].For example,if the decimal frequency offset in data streams is 0.498of the sub-carrier spacing,the estimate result with the typical algorithms mentioned above may be -0.467of the sub-carrier spacing.The strategy to avoid the above problem in P.H.Moose algorithm is to reduce the length of the DFT and use larger carrier spacing,degrading the overall system performance.A second-order IIR filtering can be used to solve this problem [49].C.Fine Decimal Carrier Frequency OffsetAfter correction based on the coarse decimal CFO estima-tion,the residual decimal CFO in data streams may be reduced to only 1%,and then the fine decimal CFO estimation deals with the residual CFO.The typical algorithm was also proposed by P.H.Moose [47].However,it suffered a problem of poor band-width ef ficiency.In fact,pilots embedded in the OFDM symbols can be utilized to do the fine decimal CFO.D.Carrier Frequency Offset Control ModelIt is necessary to have a control module to coordinate the operations of the integer CFO,the coarse decimal CFO and the fine decimal CFO [48].As shown in Fig.3,this module consists of two modes:the acquisition mode and the trackingmode.After the estimation on the integerpartand fine dec-imalpartin frequency domain,the counter value COUN will increase or decrease depending on whether the valueofis larger than a constant A (set by the system per-formance requirement,forexample,).The value of COUN decides whether it is in the tracking or the acquisition mode.Performance and detailed analysis on this control model is presented in [50]showing excellent performance in estima-tion,tracking and correction of CFO.E.Carrier Frequency Offset in the Burst Packet Mode There is no stringent requirement on acquisition time in the continuous systems such as DAB,DVB-T [2]and DMB-T [14],averaging method or filtering over many OFDM symbols can be adopted to increase estimation accuracy,where it is appro-priate to adopt those methods based on CP or pilots.Some lit-eratures make use of the null sub-carriers for power detection to estimate the CFO [51].However,for systems in the burst packet mode,repetitive structure is often utilized with,no differ-ence either between these null sub-carriers or the idle time be-tween neighboring blocks.Those methods,therefore,are inap-propriate in the burst packet mode.Because of the short duration time of packets,it has more stringent requirement on synchro-nization acquisition time (i.e.,acquisition done within a single OFDM symbol).Besides the requirement on estimation accu-racy,fast convergence is also needed.The accuracy of the CFO estimation in time domain,nonfeed back synchronization model are equally important to these systems and,the synchronization should be established only in time domain [13],[48].(a)(b)Fig. 4.Constellation variation due to the sampling clock offset.Total sub-carriers N=2048,cyclic prefix L=128,64-QAM modulation, normalized sampling clock offset is1ppm,after200OFDM symbols.Other factors follow DVB-T standard[2].V.S AMPLING C LOCK S YNCHRONIZATIONThe sampling clock errors are mainly from the mismatch of the crystal oscillators between the transmitter and the re-ceiver.Other factors such as multi-path fading,noise distur-bance,symbol timing estimation errors may also contribute to the sampling clock offset(SCO).The sampling clock errors will negatively influence the symbol timing synchronization.For ex-ample,assume1ppm sampling clock offset in2K mode with a GIB of512samples in DVB-T[2],the FFT window will move one sample around every400symbols.The higher the sam-pling clock offset,the more the influence on the symbol timing synchronization.Fig.4shows signal constellation variation due to the sam-pling clock offset.It is obvious that the larger the SCO,the more severe the distortion.Detailed analysis on the effects of sampling clock offset on symbol timing is presented in[52].In order to analyze the effects of SCO on the system performance in a more explicit way,SCO is divided into two parts:the sam-pling clock phase offset and the sampling clock frequency offset [17],[20],[53],[54].Effects of the sampling clock phase offset is similar to that of the symbol timing offset,leading to the signal phase distortion;while the sampling clock frequency offset in-troduces ICI.By defining Inter-Sample-Interference,effects of the sampling clock offset on system performance could be ana-lyzed deeply[55].The synchronous sampling and the asynchronous sampling are two different kinds of methods for the sampling clock syn-chronizations[56]–[58].1)Timing algorithms are usually used in the synchronoussystems to control both phase and frequency of a V oltageControl Crystal Oscillator(VCXO)[53],[59]–[61].Compared to the asynchronous digital sampling systems,it has large timingfluctuation due to high-level phasenoises.The need of the analog circuits makes it inconve-nient for the system integration[62].2)An independent oscillator is often exploited for samplingin an all-digital system.Timing algorithms are used tocontrol NCO(Numerical Control Oscillator)and then usethe NCO output to control the interpolatorfilter.BER per-formance of the asynchronous system in[54],[62]showsthat the asynchronous systems are more sensitive to CFOthan the synchronous puter simulations in[63]demonstrate that unrealistic interpolator may causecyclic tracking errors in asynchronous systems,whichnever occurs in the synchronous systems.The estimated sampling clock offset and decimal part of symbol timing error may be considered as an adjusting variable when we do sampling clock synchronization.This sampling clock adjusting variable is derived in frequency domain and then fed back to time domain to adjust digital oscillator,guar-anteeing the stability of the loop control circuit.VI.J OINT E STIMATION A LGORITHMSSome algorithms can be utilized for the joint estimation of all the synchronization errors including the symbol timing,the carrier frequency and the sampling clock offsets.Algorithms mentioned in the former sections such as[7]–[9],[47],are the typical algorithms to do the joint estimation of symbol timing and decimal CFO.The decimal CFO estimation utilizing the de-tected phase of the received frequency-domain complex data in the pilot sub-carriers or training symbols,is to be performed after the estimation of symbol timing errors.However,just as we have analyzed in Section IV-B,they all have stringent require-ment on the symbol timing synchronization.Some new joint es-timation algorithms are proposed recently[64],[65],in[64], the proposed algorithm with a weighted least squares technique generates offset estimates with minimum RMS errors.Multiple received OFDM symbols as an observation interval are utilized in[65],both of which are less sensitive to the symbol timing errors.The joint estimation and tracking of symbol timing and sam-pling clock errors are presented in[17],[53].The main problem。
DIGITAL TIMING SYNCHRONIZATION WITH JITTER REDUCTION TECHNIQUEFOR CAP-BASED VDSL SYSTEMYongchul Song, Kyehyung Lee†, and Beomsup KimDepartment of Electrical Engineering and Computer ScienceKorea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Taejon, Korea†Stelsys Telecom Inc., Kyungki-do, KoreaABSTRACTThis paper describes a digital timing synchronization method for the CAP-based VDSL system. An adaptive loop filter with digitally controlled loop gain is proposed for jitter performance improvement. The proposed loop filter allows both fast locking and low steady state jitter. A digital spectral line method is used for robust timing extraction. Simulation results show that RMS timing jitter is less than 0.4% of the symbol period even for the worst case channel and synchronization is established within 400 symbol periods. The VDSL system is implemented in a 0.6µm CMOS technology, and tested. The measured peak-to-peak timing jitter is about 0.1% of the symbol period, which makes the VDSL system receive data up to 52Mbps over the telephone wire.I. INTRODUCTIONVery-high-speed digital subscriber line (VDSL) system has been developed to provide high-speed data transmission services on an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wire [1]. Since the transmission channel of the UTP category 3 (UTP-3) shows very poor frequency characteristics for high-speed signals with the bit rate up to 52Mbps and the symbol rate up to 13Mbaud, line code has been carefully chosen in order to overcome the channel degradation and impairments. The discrete multi-tone (DMT) line code supported by VDSL Alliance, one of the VDSL standardization groups, provides one of the solutions for transmitting high-speed data over UTP-3. With the multi-carrier modulation approach, it can fully use available channel capacity and improve overall modem performance, but requires complex hardware. Alternatively, the carrierless amplitude and phase modulation (CAP) line code [2] can be chosen along with well-established modulation methods such as quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), and require less complex hardware, compared with DMT-based modem. Because of the hardware simplicity, VDSL Coalition, the other VDSL standardization group, chooses the CAP/QAM line code for its modulation method. However, the CAP-based modem requires an elaborate symbol timing synchronization block that could significantly affect overall performance and then restrict the maximum data rate to transmit. Since the overall demodulator performance is sensitive to symbol timing offset and jitter, the exact and stable acquisition of the symbol timing is important to guarantee the quality of the VDSL service. Moreover, since several noisy sources exist and the channel distortion is serious, the timing synchron-ization should be insensitive to such impairments.For the robust timing synchronization, a digital spectral line method was proposed for 16-CAP VDSL system [3]. It needs less complex hardware for implementation, compared with the conventional spectral line method. However, the jitter performance is degraded exponentially, as channel length increases, because of serious channel distortion. The jitter performance is related with the loop bandwidth [4]. Therefore, the optimization of the timing loop bandwidth is necessary to overcome such degradation. The gear-shifting algorithm gives optimal solution [5], but requires somewhat complex hardware. To simplify hardware, a heuristic jitter reduction method has been developed [6]. It exploits a simple loop gain adaptation scheme.This paper presents a digital timing synchronization method with the jitter reduction technique for the CAP-based VDSL system. It is verified with computer simula-tions and VLSI implementation. In section II, the general receiver architecture is briefly described, and the digital spectral line timing synchronization method is also reviewed. An adaptive loop filter for the jitter performance improve-ment is introduced in section III. Section IV provides the simulated and measured results. Finally, section V draws conclusion.II. ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEWFig. 1-(a) shows the general receiver architecture for the CAP-based VDSL system. With the timing synchronization loop, the received signal is sampled in an analog-to-digital converter and demodulated in in-phase and quadrature matched filters. The adaptive decision feedback equalizer (DFE) follows in order to compensate for the channel distortion. The timing synchronization loop, which adopts the digital spectral line method [3], is shown in Fig. 1-(b).The timing tone is extracted through two pre-filters and one multiplier. The received CAP signal s(t) is band-limitedto [ f c −0.6f s , f c +0.6f s ], where f s is the symbol rate and f c is the center frequency. As shown in Fig. 2, the pre-filter H p1(f ) is a low-pass filter which extracts lower edge of the signal spectrum and the other pre-filter H p2(f ) is a high-pass filter which extracts higher edge. When sampled with 4f s clock, the low-passed signal can be represented as()()()()()()s s c L f n f f n x n h n s n x 45.02cos p1−≅∗=π (1)where x (n ) is the sampled version of the band-limited signal x (t ) in [−0.1f s , 0.1f s ]. In case of the high-passed signal,()()()()()()s s c H f n f f n x n h n s n x 45.02cos p2+′≅∗=π (2)where x n ) is a band-limited signal similar to x (n ). Since these filtered signals are apart by f s in the frequency domain, the timing tone at f s , corresponding to (f c +0.5f s )−(f c −0.5f s ), can be obtained through multiplication of these filtered signals. The band-pass filter is used to improve the spectral purity of the timing tone and eliminate the other spectral tone, corresponding to (f c +0.5f s )+(f c −0.5f s ), generated from the timing tone extractor. The band-pass filter finally produces the sampled sinusoidal waveform with frequency of f s , which consists of 4 samples per symbol period. The band-passed signal is thereby decimated by a factor of 4. The decimated signal controls an external voltage controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) generating the sampling clock so that, when adjusted, the timing error becomes 0.II. LOOP FILTER DESIGNAdditive white noise and data pattern dependent noise create jitter in the timing signal. In order to reduce the jitter created from such noise, the loop bandwidth optimization becomes necessary. Since the loop bandwidth is directly related with the loop gain [4], it can be optimized with the loop gain optimization.A. Loop gain optimizationThe timing synchronization loop in Fig. 1-(b) can be simply modeled as the 1st order loop given by()()()()k e k G k k −=+ττ1 (3)where G (k ) and e (k ) is the loop gain and timing error at time k , respectively. The timing error is divided into the condi-tional mean of e (k )()()()(){}k k e E k e ττ|~= (4) and an additive noise N (k ) with a zero mean, and then (3) isrewritten as()()()()()(){}k N k e k G k k +−=+τττ~1 (5) Since the timing error is monotonically increased near theoptimal timing τop , the linear approximation on ))((~k e τisA/DIn-phase Matched Filterg (t )cos ωc tQuadrature Matched Filter- g (t )sin ωc tTiming SynchronizerAdaptive DFETiming Synchronization LoopLPF H p1(f )HPF H p2(f )BPFLoop FilterCAP line codedsignalD/A 4Timing Tone ExtractorVCXO A/D4 x f s(a) Receiver architecture(b) Digital spectral line timing synchronizationFig. 1.

Referring to [5], the optimal loop gain in this case is given by()111+=k k G γ (7)for the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) criterion. It needs a true multiplier for implementation, and 1/γ should be estimated. Therefore, a heuristic design, which provides loop gain close to the optimal given by (7) and is implemen-ted with only shifters and adders, is preferred.B. Proposed adaptive loop filter designFig. 3 shows a digitally controlled loop filter of which the gain varies from a fixed gain K 0 to a controlled gain K 0×1/2m , where m is a nonnegative integer. K 0 is not related with 1/γ, and then can be chosen arbitrarily. Normally, K 0 is set to 1 in order to simplify the implementation.Two counters, while clocked with symbol rate, separa-tely control the variable m . The first n -bit down counter generates a control signal to increase m by 1 when the counter becomes 0 and decreases the loop bandwidth accordingly. The second n -bit up/down counter generates another control signal to decrease m by 1 when the counter becomes either 2n −1 or 0 and increases loop bandwidth accordingly. The n -bit up/down counter behaves as an up counter if the timing error is positive, or as a down counter if the timing error is negative . The up/down counter is initially set to 2n −1. When the counter becomes 0 or 2n −1, it is reset to 2n −1.When the recovered timing phase is far off the optimal, timing error becomes either consecutively positive or negative, statistically. In this case, the up/down counter keeps either increasing or decreasing depending on the sign of the timing error and increases the loop gain. Therefore, faster locking is possible. On the other hand, when the timing phase is near optimal, the timing error alternates between positive and negative values. In this case, the up/down counter stays around its initial value, and the loop gain gradually reduces according to the control signal from the down counter. With this control scheme, the optimal loop gain given by (7) can be approximated as shown in Fig. 4. Therefore, the efficient loop bandwidth control is possible and both fast locking and low steady state jitter are allowed.IV.

Jitter histogram at symbol rate of 10Mbaudand phase delay are modeled by referring to [7][8]. Also, some channel impairments such as additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and crosstalks are considered.The transmission profile with the symbol rate of12.96Mbaud is simulated. Fig. 5-(a) shows the timing extra-ction with the proposed jitter reduction technique. The simulated locking time is less than 400 symbol periods for 200m UTP-3 channel. Fig. 5-(b) shows the timing jitter performance for the channel length. The simulated timing jitter is within 0.4% of the symbol period in RMS.The VDSL system with the proposed timing synchroni-zation method is implemented in a 0.6µm CMOS techno-logy. The measured 16-CAP constellation, which is recon-structed by the adaptive DFE, is shown in Fig. 6. The soft decisions are clustered about the hard-decision points with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 18dB, which provides bit error rates (BER) of about 10-7, for 200m UTP-3 channel. As shown in Fig. 7, the measured cycle-to-cycle timing jitter is 12.02psec in RMS and 86psec in peak-to-peak at the symbol rate of 10Mbaud. Equivalently, the measured peak-to-peak timing jitter is less than 0.1% of the symbol period.V. CONCLUSIONThe digital timing synchronization with the jitter reduction technique is presented. It is employed in the CAP-based VDSL system. For the jitter performance improvement, the adaptive loop filter with digitally controlled loop gain is proposed, and it achieves both fast locking and low steady state jitter. The proposed synchronization method provides the exact and stable symbol timing enough to guarantee the quality of the VDSL service.REFERENCES[1] Very-high-speed Digital Subscriber Lines System Require-ments, T1E1.4/98-043R8 Rev. 18, Nov. 1998.[2] W.
