Suppressing Quadrature Error and Harmonics in Resolver Signals via Disturbance-Compensated PLL

A 58-63.6GHz Quadrature PLL Frequency Synthesizer in 65nm CMOS

This paper proposes a 60GHz quadrature PLL frequency synthesizer that has a tuning range capable of covering the whole band specified by the IEEE802.15.3c with exceptional phase noise. The synthesizer is constructed using a 20GHz PLL that is coupled with a frequency tripler to generate the 60GHz signal. The 20GHz PLL generates a signal with a phase noise as low as −106dBc/Hz using tail feedback...

Modeling Acute and Compensated Language Disturbance in Schizophrenia

No current laboratory test can reliably identify patients with schizophrenia. Instead, key symptoms are observed via language, including derailments, where patients cannot follow a coherent storyline, and delusions, where false beliefs are repeated as fact. Brain processes underlying these and other symptoms remain unclear, and characterizing them would greatly enhance our understanding of schi...

A generalized discrepancy and quadrature error bound

An error bound for multidimensional quadrature is derived that includes the Koksma-Hlawka inequality as a special case. This error bound takes the form of a product of two terms. One term, which depends only on the integrand, is defined as a generalized variation. The other term, which depends only on the quadrature rule, is defined as a generalized discrepancy. The generalized discrepancy is a...

Disproving Heisenberg’s error-disturbance relation

Recently, Busch, Lahti, and Werner [1] claimed that Heisenberg’s error-disturbance relation can be proved in its original form with new formulations of error and disturbance, in contrast to the theory proposed by the present author [2–5] and confirmed by recent experiments [6–9]. Despite their claim, it is shown here that a class of solvable models of position measurement with explicit interact...
