商品描述

This book covers analysis and design of PLL-based frequency modulators, used in the hearth of modern FMCW radars. The desired radar performance targets are translated into the modulator specifications first. The authors then focus on describing the optimal modulator architecture, with special care given to core building blocks of the system. The central analog building block described is a novel charge integrating-based chirp generator, which breaks limits of similar art in the field where performance (noise, area) is typically traded for power. The book then continues to describe power-efficient, mixed-signal background calibration engine implementation, which when applied in context of the presented system, ensures pristine linearity of the generated chirps. The detailed design guide shows how robust duty-cycling can be enabled, to ensure low-power consumption of the system, without compromise in radar performance. A complete overview of all circuit-level building blocks is provided, to ensure that readers can tackle every aspect of the system. Finally, the book covers description of a rigorous chirp-linearity and phase-noise performance characterization methodology, critical for evaluation of radar system performance metrics.

This book provides insightful design guidelines for DTC-based fractional-N PLL synthesizers and QDAC-based FMCW frequency modulators for both academic researchers and industry IC design engineers.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書涵蓋基於相位鎖定迴路(PLL)的頻率調變器的分析與設計,這些調變器用於現代頻率調變連續波(FMCW)雷達的核心。首先,將所需的雷達性能目標轉化為調變器的規格。然後,作者專注於描述最佳的調變器架構,特別關注系統的核心構建模塊。所描述的中央類比構建模塊是一種新型的基於電荷積分的啁啾生成器,突破了該領域類似技術的限制,通常在性能(噪聲、面積)與功耗之間進行權衡。本書接著描述了高效能的混合信號背景校準引擎實現,當應用於所呈現的系統時,確保生成的啁啾具有極佳的線性度。詳細的設計指南顯示如何啟用穩健的工作週期控制,以確保系統的低功耗,同時不妥協雷達性能。提供了所有電路級構建模塊的完整概述,以確保讀者能夠處理系統的各個方面。最後,本書涵蓋了一種嚴謹的啁啾線性度和相位噪聲性能特徵化方法的描述,這對於評估雷達系統性能指標至關重要。

本書為基於數位時鐘調整(DTC)的分數-N PLL 合成器和基於量化數位類比轉換器(QDAC)的 FMCW 頻率調變器提供了深入的設計指導,適用於學術研究人員和業界集成電路設計工程師。
