Abstract: A general design method for phasor estimation algorithms on different applications is described based on a complex finite impulse response (FIR) band-pass filter. To facilitate the design of the complex band-pass filter for different requirements and reduce the trial and error process, a design framework based on the error mathematical models is described. Using an absolute value inequality theorem, the general error models between the filter gain and the error limitations of all the valuables measured by phasor measurement units (PMUs) are established separately. The filter design criteria obtained by the error models can determine the passband and stopband gain range of complex band-pass filters.

Abstract: A CDR method/circuit utilizes a closed-loop clock alignment circuit and a duplicate clock to align a sampling point clock to both mid-interval and optimal sample point phases during data receiving processes. An initial clock is generated having the mid-interval sampling point phase, then the closed-loop clock alignment circuit generates a phase correction signal based on a phase difference between the data sampling clock and the initial clock, and then the phase correction signal is fed back to a high-speed phase mixer to adjust/align the sampling point clock to the initial clock. Subsequently, the duplicate clock is generated and utilized to determine an optimal sampling point phase while the data sampling clock is utilized to read the received data signal, and then the closed-loop clock alignment circuit is re-used to re-align the data sampling clock to the duplicate clock when the optimal sampling point phase is identified.
