SPAD-based Light Detection and Ranging for 3D imaging: Receiver operation and in-pixel TDC design for automotive application

In this work, a SPAD-based LiDAR system is studied. In particular, the system employs a direct time-of-flight (dToF) method to reconstruct a target-reflected pulses using histogram, from which the distance to the target is estimated. More particularly, a time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) method has been used to record the flight...

Analysis and Design of a Ring-Oscillator-Based Fractional-N Injection-Locked Digital PLL for IoT Applications

Frequency translation is required in any modern wireless communication systems.<br/>This is in large part due to the fact that the modulated signal is easy to<br/>transmit in radio frequency in the form of an electromagnetic wave, and the demodulated signal is easy to process in the baseband frequency by a powerful digital processor. Frequency...
