The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the good jitter performances of samplers based on a propagation line. Targeting high resolution and high bandwidth (10 effective bits at 8 GHz and 20 GHz bandwidth) two of these architectures have been adapted to large temporal sampling windows. As the trigger structures consist of inverters, the jitter of an elementary inverter is optimized and a delay cell is simulated and compared to measurements. Jitter of the two trigger structures is discussed. I. INTRODUCTIONRecent years have seen the incoming of a large panel of new high bandwidth sampling systems [1]-[6]. Many applications are concerned such as UWB communications, software radio and nuclear experiments. But most of the time the resolution of these systems is lower than 5 effective bits and big volume and energy are required, especially for optical solutions [1]- [3]. The main goal of our study is to improve the resolution of sampling systems, expecting 10 effective bits at 8 GHz with a 20 GHz bandwidth. Promising results were obtained with samplers based on a propagation line [7]-[9] but they have only been used for single shot applications. In order to use these architectures for large temporal sampling windows, this work deals with trigger structures.To reach very good performances, InP-InGaAs-InP Double Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (DHBT) have been chosen. This technology provides very short rise and fall time (less than 10 ps on a 50 Ω matched load), low noise and high breakdown voltages. According to [12] it appears to be the most efficient technology for high performances samplers and results of a subsampling track-and-hold amplifier using InP SHBT confirm this figure, [13].Three main parameters influence sampler performances: noise, non-linearity and jitter. At high frequency the jitter effects are prevailing and this parameter in the trigger structure will be studied herein. This work first describes the two sampling architectures chosen to achieve good performances. As the trigger structure is composed of inverters, in a second part the jitter of inverters is discussed and compared to measured results. Finally the trigger structures of the two studied architectures are detailed and simulated. InP DHBT technology of the OMMIC foundry was used for these designs.

“…After amplification, Gaussian pulses are transmitted over several GHz bandwidth centered into the 60 GHz band (Tatu el al, 2009). At the meanwhile, the receiver is composed of a low noise amplifier (LNA), a detector at 60 GHz, and a fast sampling and hold -S/H (Win & Scholtz, 2000;El Aabbaoui et al, 2005;Deparis et al, 2004). A pulse generator (2 nd pulse generator) is used to control the S/H circuit.…”

“…In the frequency domain, this RF signal is equivalent to a several gigahertz occupation bandwidth B. Sampling at these frequencies requires new architecture [2], such as inter-digitalized ADC, one shot processing [3], optical systems [4], high speed diodes [5], [6], ... Nevertheless, since the pulses are repetitive, according to a fixed pulse repetition frequency FPRF, it is possible to recover the pulses shape, sampling them at a FS (sampling frequency) close to FPRF.…”

This paper describes a sampling method and MMIC circuits that permits a simple but efficient technique to analysis UWB impulse radio (UWB IR) signals. It is composed of an ultra high speed sample and hold amplifier (SHA), a pulse generator and a very fine time control system. This proposed architecture can be useful for several applications from positioning and ranging to telecommunication functions, such as synchronization and demodulation. The SHA exhibits a 14 GHz bandwidth with a 1 dB ripple over the DC to 10 GHz bandwidth. Its conversion gain is 0.5 dB up to 8 GHz.
