However: open-loop modulators are too slow for 100% slot utilization. This causes the well known DECT blind-slot problem. One solution to this is to employ closed-loop modulation in stead. This paper presents a closed-loop modulator solution for DECI: The modulator b based on a combination of ΣΔ-techniques and use of a fractional-N PLL. The technique allows for digital phase and frequency modulation without use of mixers or D/A converters in the modulation path. Simulation results show a working modulator that is superior to state-of-the-art DECT transmitters using open-loop modulation. An internal reference frequency of 10 - 30 MHz gives an output PSD that meets DECT speci cation requirements on unwanted emissions due to modulation. The RMS phase error for a reference frequency of 31.104 MHz is as low as 1.06° and the peak phase error is 2.90°. The blind-slot problem is solved using the closed-loop modulator as the lock time is 1 - μs which, compared to the guard space requirements of below 50 μ, gives a large room for implementation imperfections.","PeriodicalId":208182,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Norchip Conference, 2004.","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131772630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately exact algorithms for finding the test sets are computationally very expensive. Therefore in this paper we propose an improved estimation methodology for fast calculation of the hybrid test set. The methodology is based on real fault simulation results and experimental results have shown that the method is more accurate than the statistical method proposed earlier.","PeriodicalId":208182,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Norchip Conference, 2004.","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127394110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve cheap silicon implementations, it-ejection solutions must be cost-effective. We present a novel it-ejection model and a variant of it where the required number of sink queues of a switch is p, i.e., independent of v.
