The group delay is a convenient measure of the linearity of the phase with respect to frequency in a modulation system. [3] [4] For a modulation signal (passband signal), the information carried by the signal is carried exclusively in the wave envelope. Group delay therefore operates only with the frequency components derived from the envelope.
A well-known integrated circuit device around 1976, the Reticon SAD-1024 [2] implemented two 512-stage analog delay lines in a 16-pin DIP. It allowed clock frequencies ranging from 1.5 kHz to more than 1.5 MHz. The SAD-512 was a single delay line version.
For power-of-2 integer division, a simple binary counter can be used, clocked by the input signal. The least-significant output bit alternates at 1/2 the rate of the input clock, the next bit at 1/4 the rate, the third bit at 1/8 the rate, etc. An arrangement of flipflops is a classic method for integer-n division. Such division is frequency ...
A common file format for storing the lookup tables is the Liberty [2] [3] format. A very simple model called the K-factor model is sometimes used. This approximates the delay as a constant plus k times the load capacitance. A more complex model called Delay Calculation Language, [4] or DCL, calls a user-defined program whenever a delay value is ...
Feedforward comb filter structure in discrete time. The general structure of a feedforward comb filter is described by the difference equation: [] = [] + []where is the delay length (measured in samples), and α is a scaling factor applied to the delayed signal.
A series of resistor–capacitor circuits (RC circuits) can be cascaded to form a delay. A long transmission line can also provide a delay element. The delay time of an analog delay line may be only a few nanoseconds or several milliseconds, limited by the practical size of the physical medium used to delay the signal and the propagation speed ...
In general a digital delay-line based TDC, [19] also known as tapped delay line, contains a chain of cells (e.g. using D-latches in the figure) with well defined delay times . The start signal propagates through this chain and is successively delayed by each cell.
Static timing analysis (STA) is a simulation method of computing the expected timing of a synchronous digital circuit without requiring a simulation of the full circuit. High-performance integrated circuits have traditionally been characterized by the clock frequency at which they operate. Measuring the ability of a circuit to operate at the ...
