Circuit and method for eliminating spurious signal
A circuit and a method for eliminating a spurious signal are provided. The circuit includes a phase detector, a spurious estimation and regeneration device, and a phase shifter. After an actual clock signal containing a spurious signal is obtained, the contained spurious signal is estimated based on the reference clock signal that does not contain the spurious signal. Reverse adjustment is performed on the actual clock signal based on the estimated spurious signal to eliminate the spurious signal in the actual clock signal, ensuring eliminating the generated spurious signal by performing reverse adjustment, improving the signal transmission quality, thereby solving the problem of reduced signal quality due to that the spurious signal cannot be suppressed in generation according to the conventional technology.
Buffer cascade
A signal conditioning circuit to reduce detrimental effects of analog circuit elements. The techniques described herein provide a cascade of buffer circuits and signal processing circuitry to measure and cancel the distortion introduced by the buffer circuits. Thus, a buffer can be added to the signal path of an input signal without the detrimental effects, such as added distortion, that typically accompany the addition of buffers.
