London-based Toric has turned its anti-jitter technology into a clock distribution block for scaling and controlling multiple clocks on a system-on-chip independently and making software defined radio designs more efficient. Out of the fundamental anti-jitter control (AJC) design launched last year, the start-up has produced a phase filter to replace or improve the jitter of phase locked loops (PLLs). This ...

Commercial radio technology has reached an inflection point similar to the transition from analogue to digital which created a range of new digital technology. Now we are moving from single carrier technologies, where we transmit one digital symbol at a time, to the point where we are potentially transmitting hundreds of symbols simultaneously (OFDM) using multiple RF carriers. The change ...
