This paper proposes an innovative method of converting digital signal to time-domain analog signal, which fully enjoys robustness and digital circuit friendliness. This technique utilizes a digital delta-sigma ( ) modulator following a digital-to-time converter (DTC) circuit with various modulation methods. As an application of the proposed method, novel spreadspectrum clock generation (SSCG) algorithms (such as for DC-DC converters) have been investigated which can select the noise spectrum spread bands; e.g., they can exclude the noisespectrum spread in AM, FM radio bands. The proposed circuit takes advantage of digital technology, which is simple, fast (reachable at high clock frequency) and flexible (programmable).
AbstractFor precise indoor localization accurate synchronization is necessary. In this paper we propose a new synchronization method for direct sequence spread spectrum modulation based systems, which enables a more accurate correlation peak detection. We provide comprehensive statistical analysis and numerical results for the decision error probability assuming both coherent and non-coherent receiving via an AWGN channel. The essence of the proposed method is the two overlapping correlators, which allows taking into account the statistically not independent noise components to reduce the error probability of the correlation peak detection.
