In this work, we consider a system that consists of a microresonator and a ΣΔ type feedback loop control which is typically a part of inertial sensors. We describe this architecture as a dynamical system (an iterative ...
This paper extends our previous work on the
selective excitation of mechanical vibration modes in MEMS devices using Pulsed Digital Oscillators. It begins by presenting extensive simulation results using the set of iterative ...
The aim of this paper is to show that it is possible to excite selectively different mechanical resonant modes of a MEMS structure using Pulsed Digital Oscillators (PDOs). This can be done by simply changing the working ...
There have been many approaches to modularity in the field of evolutionary computation, each tailored to function with a particular representation. This research examines one approach to modularity and grammar modification ...
Inherent to digital phase-locked loops is frequency quantization in the number-controlled oscillator which prevents the loop from locking exactly onto its reference signal and introduces unwanted phase jitter. This paper ...
Frequency granularity in a digital phase-locked loop arises from quantization in the number-controlled oscillator which prevents
the loop from locking exactly onto its reference signal and introduces unwanted phase jitter. ...
Bang-bang phase-locked loops (BBPLLs) are inherently nonlinear due to the hard nonlinearity introduced by the binary phase detector (BPD). This paper provides an exact
statistical analysis of the steady-state timing jitter ...
In this paper, an indoor communication system using ultrasonic signals is described. The system uses differential binary phase-shift keying (DBPSK) for transmitting binary data as a part of an indoor positioning system. A ...
Frequency modulation atomic force microscopy (FM-AFM) is rapidly evolving as the technique of choice in the pursuit of high resolution imaging of biological samples in ambient environments. The enhanced stability afforded ...
