The generation of stable carrier and clock frequencies is necessary at both the transmitter and receiver ends of a communication system. Phase noise is the parameter used to characterize an oscillator frequency stability. This thesis introduces a phase noise measurement technique using a phase-locked loop. A 100 MHz Colpitt's oscillator, for the phase noise source, was designed and built. The output of the oscillator was mixed down to 10 MHz, before a phase-locked loop extracted the phase noise information. Measurements were taken and compared to measurements taken at RF frequencies using an HP spectrum analyzer. Finally, a fee~back phase noise model was derived, such that oscillators can be designed with phase noise being a design parameter.

Phase noise is the term used to describe frequency stability. It is because of this phase noise that many microwave and RF systems offer a limited performance. Poor resolution in radar, interference in communications, and bit error rate degradation in phase modulated systems are some of the results of high levels of phase noise. Nevertheless, phase noise is a term sometimes misunderstood due to the light coverage of the subject in most engineering books. For information on the phase noise concept one must resort to the specialized literature such as Hewlett-Packard application notes, National Bureau of Standards technical notes, and IEEE publications. Phase noise will be introduced in this paper by starting with the basic concepts of an oscillator signal, such as the phase-frequency relationship, by characterizing the components of stability, and by its definition. Since phase noise is represented in the frequency domain as a 2 spectral density, four different but related spectral densities will then be developed. Random noise measurements require some corrections that are not necessary for deterministic signals; these corrections will be explained. Next, the three most common phase noise measurement techniques will be introduced. These techniques are: Direct RF Spectrum measurement, Frequency Discriminator, and Phase Quadrature Detection. Before measurements can be made a source of phase noise, an oscillator, is needed. For this purpose a 100 MHz Colpitt's oscillator will be designed in a step-by-step, detailed manner. This oscillator output will be mixed down in frequency so that a phase-locked loop extracts the phase noise information. This new phase noise measuring method will be introduced in this thesis along with the required calibration of the system used. The results will be compared to measurements taken using the direct RF technique. A key element in the design of clean oscillators is the Q factor of the resonator circuit. A feedback phase noise model will be derived from which a relationship for Q will be obtained. This will give the designer a phase noise parameter to be used in the design of oscillators. CHAPTER TWO NOISE IN AN OSCILLATING SIGNAL An Ideal Oscillating Signal An ideal oscillating signal can be represented by the sine wave shown in Figure l. The period "T" is the time it takes to complete one oscillation cycle. The frequency "f" is the reciprocal of the period, or the number of cycles per second. The phase "<I>" is the angle within a cyle corresponding to a time "t," and it is given in radians by t <I>= 2n­ T which can be written as <I>= 2nft 4> = wt ( 2. l) The voltage "V" is given by V(t) = v sin2nft ( 2. 2) p From Figure l, and equation (2.l) = w that is, for a given ~<I> and ~t there is a sine wave with an unique frequency "w" (in radians per second). 3 4 In the limit as At-+ O def> = w. (2.3) dt 1. This relationship defines the instantaneous frequency as the time derivative of the phase. 2n T-----~ Figure 1. Ideal oscillating signal. Real Oscillating Signals An ideal oscillator produces a pure sine wave carrier having a fixed frequency, constant phase, and constant amplitude. Oscillators used in practice, however, are non ideal and contain frequency instabilities and phase and amplitude noise. The instantaneous frequency of an oscillator can be considered to have three basic components: a constant or designed value (w ), a randomly varying frequency (wr(t)), 0 5 and a slowly varying drift component (at) . These components are shown on Figure 2. All these frequency deviations from the nominal or designed frequency are undesirable and are considered noise. To account for the noise components, equation (2.2) will have to be modified V(t) = [v +e(t)]sin[2nf t+0(t)] (2.4) 0 0 where v = nominal peak amplitude 0 e(t) = amplitude noise f 0 = nominal frequency 0(t) = phase noise t Figure 2. Components of frequency. 6 Components of Freguency Stability From the previous section, and working towards a definition of phase noise, it is clear that it would be advantageous to characterize three components of stability. The first component includes those frequency shifts due to changes in the environment such as temperature, pressure, and gravity. The second component includes those slow changes in frequency, such as those due to aging. This is called long-term stability, and it is expressed in parts per million of frequency change per hour, day, month, or year. These two components are important in certain applications, but with proper design, such as a feedback loop to correct for the slow drift in frequency, or the use of compensating capacitors for the temperature changes, most of these effects can be eliminated or minimized.

Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, LIPHY, 38000 Grenoble, France Received 19 December 2019 / Accepted 17 May 2020 ABSTRACT Context. Infrared heterodyne interferometry has been proposed as a practical alternative for recombining a large number of telescopes over kilometric baselines in the mid-infrared. However, the current limited correlation capacities impose strong restrictions on the sen- sitivity of this appealing technique. Aims. In this paper, we propose to address the problem of transport and correlation of wide-bandwidth signals over kilometric dis- tances by introducing photonic processing in infrared heterodyne interferometry. Methods. We describe the architecture of a photonic double-sideband correlator for two telescopes, along with the experimental demonstration of this concept on a proof-of-principle test bed. Results. We demonstrate the a posteriori correlation of two infrared signals previously generated on a two-telescope simulator in a double-sideband photonic correlator. A degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio of 13%, equivalent to a noise factor NF = 1:15, is obtained through the correlator, and the temporal coherence properties of our input signals are retrieved from these measurements. Conclusions. Our results demonstrate that photonic processing can be used to correlate heterodyne signals with a potentially large increase of detection bandwidth.

  • Electronic Warfare Fundamentals

    Electronic Warfare Fundamentals

    ELECTRONIC WARFARE FUNDAMENTALS NOVEMBER 2000 PREFACE Electronic Warfare Fundamentals is a student supplementary text and reference book that provides the foundation for understanding the basic concepts underlying electronic warfare (EW). This text uses a practical building-block approach to facilitate student comprehension of the essential subject matter associated with the combat applications of EW. Since radar and infrared (IR) weapons systems present the greatest threat to air operations on today's battlefield, this text emphasizes radar and IR theory and countermeasures. Although command and control (C2) systems play a vital role in modern warfare, these systems are not a direct threat to the aircrew and hence are not discussed in this book. This text does address the specific types of radar systems most likely to be associated with a modern integrated air defense system (lADS). To introduce the reader to EW, Electronic Warfare Fundamentals begins with a brief history of radar, an overview of radar capabilities, and a brief introduction to the threat systems associated with a typical lADS. The two subsequent chapters introduce the theory and characteristics of radio frequency (RF) energy as it relates to radar operations. These are followed by radar signal characteristics, radar system components, and radar target discrimination capabilities. The book continues with a discussion of antenna types and scans, target tracking, and missile guidance techniques. The next step in the building-block approach is a detailed description of countermeasures designed to defeat radar systems. The text presents the theory and employment considerations for both noise and deception jamming techniques and their impact on radar systems.

Niknejad, and Kris Pister Abstract—We propose a crystal-free radio receiver exploiting a free-running oscillator as a local oscillator (LO) while simulta- neously satisfying the 1% packet error rate (PER) specification of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. This results in significant power savings for wireless communication in millimeter-scale microsys- tems targeting Internet of Things applications. A discrete time simulation method is presented that accurately captures the phase noise (PN) of a free-running oscillator used as an LO in a crystal- free radio receiver. This model is then used to quantify the impact of LO PN on the communication system performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard compliant receiver. It is found that the equiv- alent signal-to-noise ratio is limited to ∼8 dB for a 75-µW ring oscillator PN profile and to ∼10 dB for a 240-µW LC oscillator PN profile in an AWGN channel satisfying the standard’s 1% PER specification.

Gray, Chair The fast growing demand of wireless communications for voice and data has driven recent efforts to dramatically increase the levels of integration in RF transceivers. One approach to this challenge is to implement all the RF functions in the low-cost CMOS technology, so that RF and baseband sections can be combined in a single chip. This in turn dictates an integrated CMOS implementation of the local oscillators with the same or even better phase noise performance than its discrete counterpart, generally a difficult task using conventional approaches with the available low-Q integrated inductors.

Giordano, “Advanced interferometric phase and amplitude noise measurements”, Review of Scientific Instruments vol. 73 no. 6 pp. 2445–2457, June 2002 Abstract The measurement of the close-to-the-carrier noise of two-port radiofre- quency and microwave devices is a relevant issue in time and frequency metrology and in some fields of electronics, physics and optics. While phase noise is the main concern, amplitude noise is often of interest. Presently the highest sensitivity is achieved with the interferometric method, that consists of the amplification and synchronous detection of the noise sidebands after suppressing the carrier by vector subtraction of an equal signal. A substantial progress in understanding the flicker noise mecha- nism of the interferometer results in new schemes that improve by 20–30 dB the sensitivity at low Fourier frequencies. These schemes, based on two or three nested interferometers and vector detection of noise, also feature closed-loop carrier suppression control, simplified calibration, and intrinsically high immunity to mechanical vibrations. The paper provides the complete theory and detailed design criteria, and reports on the implementation of a prototype working at the carrier frequency of 100 MHz. In real-time measurements, a background noise of −175 to −180 dB dBrad2/Hz has been obtained at f = 1 Hz off the carrier; the white noise floor is limited by the thermal energy kB T0 referred to the carrier power P0 and by the noise figure of an amplifier. Exploiting correlation and averaging in similar conditions, the sensitivity exceeds −185 dBrad2/Hz at f = 1 Hz; the white noise floor is limited by thermal uniformity rather than by the absolute temperature.
