Synchronous and asynchronous sequential symbol synchronizers

In this work, we present two synchronizer groups: the synchronous and the asynchronous. The synchronous group is based in forward logic with flip flops and the asynchronous group is based in forward logic with delay line feedback. In each group we consider two versions: the manual and the automatic. The main objective is to study the two groups, each one with two versions and to observe its jitter performance as function of the noise

Asynchronous sequential symbol synchronizers based on pulse comparison by positive transitions at half bit rate

This work presents the asynchronous sequential symbol synchronizers based on pulse comparison by positive transitions at half bit rate. Their performance will be compared with the reference asynchronous symbol synchronizers based on pulse comparison by both transitions at bit rate. For the reference and proposed variants, we consider two versions which are the manual (m) and the automatic (a). The objective is to study the four synchronizers and evaluate their output jitter UIRMS (Unit Interval Root Mean Square) versus input SNR (Signal Noise Ratio)

Sequential symbol synchronizers based on clock sampling by positive transitions

This work presents a sequential symbol synchronizer, that was discovered by us, and its functioning principle is based on the clock sampling by the input positive data transitions. This synchronizer has two topologies, namely the discrete and the continuous. Also, each topology has two versions which are the manual and the automatic. These synchronizers are very interesting, because the previous adjust of the manual version isn’t critical. The objective is to study the four synchronizers and to evaluate their output jitter UIRMS (Unit Interval Root Mean Square) versus input SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio)

Carrier phase synchronizers

This work studies four carrier phase synchronizers (CPS) or carrier Phase Lock Loop (CPLL). The synchronizers are based in a loop with VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) that synchronizes the output feedback with the input. We consider four carrier synchronizers namely the analog, hybrid, combinational and sequential. The difference between them is in the phase comparator. The main objective is to study the synchronizers output jitter UIRMS (Unit Interval Root Mean Square) versus input SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio).University of Beira Interiorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Their performance will be compared with the reference asynchronous symbol synchronizers based on pulse comparison by both transitions at bit rate.

Sequential symbol synchronizers based on pulse comparison operating by positive transitions at quarter rate

This work presents the sequential symbol synchronizer based on pulse comparison by positive transitions at quarter rate (txp/4). Their performance is compared with a reference synchronizer by both transitions at the rate (tx). For the reference and proposed synchronizer we consider two versions which are the manual (m) and the automatic (a). The objective is to study the four synchronizers and evaluate their output jitter UIRMS (Unit Interval Root Mean Square) versus input SNR (Signal Noise Ratio)

Effects of the previous pulse shift and filter on the symbol synchronizer PLL

We will study the effects of the shift of the previous pulse temporal position (between P1 and P2) on the symbol synchronizers jitter behavior. Each pulse temporal position (P1 and P2), with the same previous filter, forms a group with four different carrier PLL (Phase Lock Loop) namely the analog, hybrid, combinational and sequential. The main objective is to study the synchronizers output jitter UIRMS (Unit Interval Root Mean Squared) as function of the input SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio)

Sequential symbol synchronizers based on pulse comparation at Half Rate

This work presents a synchronizer based on pulse comparation, between variable and fixed pulses. We consider four synchronizers, divided in two variants, one variant operate at the rate and the other at half rate. Each synchronizer variant has two versions which are the manual and the automatic. The objective is to study the synchronizers and evaluate the output jitter UIRMS (Unit Interval Root Mean Square) versus the input SNR (Signal Noise Ratio)

Deterministic and random phase synchronizers

This work study two groups of synchronizers, namely the Deterministic Phase Synchronizer and the Random Phase Synchronizer. The difference between them is only inside of the phase comparator. In the first group, the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) synchronizes with the input deterministic phase of an expected periodic transition. In the second group the VCO synchronizes with the input random phase of an unexpected no periodic transition. Each group is studied under four topologies (analog, hybrid, combinational and sequential). The objective is to evaluate the two synchronizers groups with the four topologies and to observe their jitter behaviors with the noise

Prefilter bandwidth effects in carrier phase synchronizers

This work studies the effects of the prefilter bandwidth on the carrier phase synchronizers. We apply three different prefilter bandwidth namely B1=¥ (infinite), B2=2.tx and B3=1.tx, where tx is the transmissionrate. We consider also four carrier wave phase synchronizers namely the analog (ana), the hybrid (hib), the combinational (cmb) and the sequential (seq). The objective is to study the prefilter bandwidth with the four carrier synchronizers and to evaluate their output jitter UIRMS (Unit Interval Root Mean Square) versus input SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio).University of Beira Interiorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
