A Novel Technique to create Behavioral Models of Differential Oscillators in VHDL-AMS
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an approach to model the transient and steady state behavior of differential microwave oscillators at the system level. Furthermore, phase noise characteristics can be emulated by the resulting models. The mathematical structure consist of a set of algebraic and differential equations that are solved by a VHDL-AMS interpreter. The nonlinearity occurring in the oscillator is described by multi-layer perceptron artificial neural networks (ANNs). In particular, it is shown how to model accurately the two mutually dependent outputs of differential oscillators without having an input signal as (phase) reference. The presented methodology can be employed independently of the used technology and the initial complexity of the oscillators.

Behavioral Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Devices and Circuits Using VHDL-AMS
During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...

The paper deals with behavioral modeling of idealized systems with discontinuities. The purpose of such models is to obtain the first-order effects to verify analytic calculations or to increase simulation speed. Traditional algorithms for the time-domain analysis implemented in Spice-class simulators are based on the assumption of smoothness and continuity. Abrupt changes of system parameters ...

An analog synthesis technique for VHDL-AMS behavioral descriptions of very high-frequency filters is described. The technique is based on automatic netlist extraction from VHDL-AMS parse trees. The primary application of this work is automated synthesis of high-frequency filter blocks in analog or mixedsignal ASIC designs. The technique is demonstrated with two practical examples – the first is...
متن کاملAutomatic Extraction of Behavioral Models from Simulations of Analog/mixed-signal (ams) Circuits
Verification of analog circuits is becoming a bottle-neck for the verification of complex analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuits. In order to assist functional verification of complex AMS system-on-chips (SoCs), there is a need to represent the transistor-level circuits in the form of abstract models. The ability to represent the analog circuits as behavioral models is necessary, but not sufficient...
