THMA3: Multi-Chip Synchronization of RF Channels

Abstract
How can you synchronize a plethora of RF sub-system tiles that could be meters or even tens of meters away from each other? Learn how to synchronize a large, RF phased array system by nulling out path delay differences. Learn how the RF alignment of multiple ADCs and DACs from different sub-systems can each be controlled from a master synchronizer solution from the top of a fan-out tree structure. The alignment solution can accommodate changes in temperature gradient by monitoring the timing skew delta and adjusting synchronization based on the user's pre-defined system limits.
