Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis presents the design and implementation of an All-Digital PhaseLocked Loop (ADPLL) that uses Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) modulation, multi-phase outputs, and Dynamic Element Matching (DEM).The system is designed using a combination of 65nm CMOS technology and an FPGA.The frequency range of the ADPLL output is 5.48GHz to 6.22GHz.Several design techniques are used to reduce the phase noise of the ADPLL output.The ADPLL uses a rotary travelling wave-based Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) with multi-phase outputs to improve quantization noise.Manufacturing variations on the fine-tuning DCO input capacitors are averaged using DEM to produce more uniform frequency steps.ΔΣ modulation is used on the least significant of the DCO input bits.This modulation introduces a dithering effect on the output frequency that has the effect of moving some of the phase noise away from the ADPLL carrier frequency.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
