AI-based Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) Calibration

Adapt learning-based calibration to phase-locked loop non-idealities.

Illustration for AI-based Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) Calibration

This project aims to develop an AI-driven calibration system for phase-locked loop (PLL) non-idealities, such as jitter, phase noise, and locking instability, by adapting the OpenDPD framework, traditionally used for power amplifier linearization. Leveraging MATLAB for system-level PLL modeling and PyTorch for training neural networks, the project will automate the identification and compensation of non-linear behaviors in mixed-signal circuits. The deliverable: An open-source simulation package enabling AI-calibrated PLLs for high-precision communication systems.

Preferred Skills: MATLAB/Simulink, PyTorch, RF system fundamentals.
