Absmact-The noise response of switched capacitor networks (SCN'S) is reviewed with emphasis on simplifying approximations suitable for SPICE noise simulation. The techniques developed cover all op-arnp noise sources, as wetl as capacitor switching noise, The close agreement between predicted and measured noise responses for several monolithic SCN'S bears out the vstklity of these simulation techniques.

The application of 100-MBz-bandwidt5 convolvers to packet communications requires critically timed high-speed support circuitry. To process the 200-M:Xz-bandwidth convolver outputs it is essential to align the sampling circuits, w5ich define the output-processing time-window, to within =5 ns for rapid synchronization and demodulation. 4utocalibrating techniques are needed since delays within the convolvers, differing delays between convolvers, and delays within the support circuits are all temperature dependent. Two aspects are considered: ( 1 ) Measurement of signal time-of-arrival. Accurate synchronization of the receiver pseudonoise reference code to the transmitted code inherently allows precise notation of the arrival time.(2) RAKE demodulation at a high data rate. For supression of multipath-generated intersymbol interference the record of the multipath profile oStained from a long convolver must be aligned with the data output of a short convolver. These disparate length convolvers have substantially different variations in output delay over temperature requiring periodic calibration. The circuit to Se described reqdires less than 60 s to calibrate a l l critically timed signal paths, enabling calibration to be performed at predetermined intervals more often than worst-case temperature fluctuations require.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
