This midterm presentation covers our project aimed at exploring current technologies and their limits for achieving 100GB/s communication capabilities. We examine essential components, such as transmitters, receivers, and Phase Lock Loops (PLL), emphasizing their practical applications and properties. We detail our tests conducted using the ADF4350 PLL on the Eval-ADF4350EB1Z board, measuring low-frequency signals and assessing integration into a 100GB/s framework. Our findings will guide future enhancements and technological upgrades in high-speed communications.

Abstract • One of the major goals was to examine the current technologies and it’s boundaries . • The road so far : • Getting to know today's technology and look up parts that are 100GB/s compatible • Studying the theoretical aspect of the Phase Lock Loop • Testing the PLL in an Evaluation Board • Measuring low frequency signals ranging 3~4GB/s • Summing up the results and recommending suitable technology to upgrade to 100GB/s
Getting to know today's technology and look up parts that are 100GB/s compatible • We need to understand how the transmitter, receiver and medium work in 25GB/s transfer rate • What kind of components should we adapt for high frequency ? • Transistors, Diodes, Mixers, Counters, Flip-Flops, Amplifiers ... • What are their properties and how to catalogue them ?
Studying the theoretical aspect of the Phase Lock Loop • What is a PLL ? • PLL is a control system that generates a signal that has a fixed relation to the phase of a "reference" signal, it responds to both the frequency and the phase changes of the input signals • How it’s related to our project ?
Testing the PLL in an Evaluation Board • We’ll examine and work with ADF4350 PLL in particular • The goal is to use the PLL in a Eval-ADF4350EB1Z evaluation Board • Testing it in a free running mode and in locked mode • Different frequencies… • Relaxation period and stability for each frequency
Eva-Board Block Diagram • Eval-ADF4350EB1Z • ADF4350 • USB connector • Software • Output connectors
Measuring low frequency signals • Measuring low frequency signals ranging 3~4 GHz • Generate signals using HP-8133A • Pulse generator • Infiniium DSO80204B Oscilloscope • to measure signals • Understanding the measuring methods to be able to chose the next generation measuring technology
Summing up the results and conclusions • Gathering useful 100GB/s compatible devices on one catalogue • Suggesting ideas to how would be possible to work in 100GHz frequency with a stable signal • Suggesting tools and ways to measure a signal in a high frequency of 100GHz
Timeline We’ve created a grant timeline in order to keep track of our work Estimated timeline: Examining today’s technology 18/03 to 08/04 Looking up devices 08/04 to 20/04 Learning about PLL 22/04 to 07/05 ADF4350 Evaluation Board 13/05 to 08/06 Measuring Signals 06/06 to 21/06
