This paper presents a novel combination of two fully integrated phase-locked loops (PLLs) to control the oscillation frequency and modulation frequency of a switched injection-locked oscillator (SILO). The SILO is used as an active reflector transponder in a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system. A fractional-N PLL (RF-PLL) with a tri-state phase-frequency detector (TSPFD) sets the...
This paper presents a fully integrated active backscatter transponder for the use in a FMCW radar system for localization of passengers in sea in case of a ship sinking emergency. The active reflector tag is based on a cross-coupled oscillator circuit topology operating as a switched injection-locked oscillator (SILO). The circuit was implemented in a 180nm BiCMOS technology. Measurements resulted...
In this paper, a fully integrated active reflector transponder for the localization and quick evacuation of passengers in the sea in case that passengers are overboard is presented. The backscatter tag is based on a cross-coupled oscillator topology using the switched injection-locked oscillator (SILO) principle and is implemented in a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. Furthermore,...
In this paper, a fully integrated active backscatter transponder based on the switched injection-locked oscillator (SILO) principle for frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar applications is presented. Furthermore, a novel theory to model the phase sampling behaviour of a SILO, accounting for noisy injection signals, is derived. The presented backscatter tag operates at 34.5 GHz and reaches...
In this paper, the novel principle of the switched injection-locked oscillator is introduced. It is shown that the concept is ideally suited for transponder and secondary radar systems with outstanding performance. A switched injection-locked oscillator transponder can produce an approximately phase coherent high-power response to an interrogating signal and, consequently, allows for long-range transponder...
