(author)This article introduces a low-jitter low-spur fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) adopting a new concept of a time-mode arithmetic unit (TAU) for phase error extraction. The TAU is a time-signal processor that calculates the weighted sum of input time offsets. It processes two inputs - the period of a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO)...journal article 2023

Chen, Peng (author), Zhang, Feifei (author), Zong, Z. (author), Hu, Suoping (author), Siriburanon, Teerachot (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)This article proposes a power-efficient highly linear capacitor-array-based digital-to-time converter (DTC) using a charge redistribution constant-slope approach. A fringe-capacitor-based digital-to-analog converter (C-DAC) array is used to regulate the starting supply voltage of the constant discharging slope fed to a fixed-threshold...journal article 2019

Zong, Z. (author), Chen, Peng (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)In this paper, we propose a 60-GHz fractional-N digital frequency synthesizer aimed at reducing its phase noise (PN) at both the flicker (1/f <sup>3</sup> ) and thermal (1/f <sup>2</sup> ) regions while minimizing its power consumption. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) fundamentally resonates at 20 GHz and co-generates a strong...journal article 2019

Zong, Z. (author), Babaie, M. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)This paper proposes a mm-wave frequency generation technique that improves its phase noise (PN) performance and power efficiency. The main idea is that a fundamental 20 GHz signal and its sufficiently strong third harmonic at 60 GHz are generated simultaneously in a single oscillator. The desired 60 GHz local oscillator (LO) signal is delivered...journal article 2016
