PHASE TRACKING AND CORRECTION ARCHITECTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106623 titled 'PHASE TRACKING AND CORRECTION ARCHITECTURE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for devices and methods for phase tracking and correction using sampling, specifically focusing on a wireless communication apparatus with an analog 1-bit sampler and a digital phase computation and control circuit.

  • Analog 1-bit sampler used to sample a phase locked loop (PLL) output signal
  • Samples generated using a PLL reference clock
  • Digital phase computation and control circuit receives samples and applies phase corrections to the PLL based on phase error derived from the samples
