Editor's Note: Although the primary target market for the 86100CU-400 application presented below is for ASIC/SoC designs, I'm assured by the folks at Agilent that this application is also applicable ...

Few topics in electrical engineering have demanded as much attention over the years as the phase-locked loop (PLL). The PLL is arguably one of the most important building blocks necessary for modern ...

Radiation-hardened phase-locked loop (PLL) circuits represent a critical advancement in safeguarding electronic systems against the deleterious effects of ionising radiation. These circuits are ...

I have always had a soft spot for phase-locked loops – at least, I have since I first found out what they were. What I like about them is that they servo into the best answer for a given situation – ...

If you want a stable oscillator, you usually think of using a crystal. The piezoelectric qualities of quartz means that it can be cut in a particular way that it will oscillate at a very precise ...

Abstract: The distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) system based on phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry ($\Phi $ -OTDR) uses optical fiber as a medium to detect external vibration ...
