Title: System for storing digital information in the phase of an oscillator
Inventor: GEORGIOS GEORGOBASILES
IPC: H03L7/00
Filed: 2017-10-30
Abstract: A memory system and method of storing and retrieving data, whereby an oscillator 60 provides and adjusts the phase of a resonance signal 15 based on an input guiding signal 14 generated by a digital to phase encoder 20 which acts on a received input digital data value 12. The system further provides a means to decouple the phase encoder 20 from the input of the oscillator following writing, (e.g control switch 40), and to couple a phase to digital decoder 80 to the oscillator during reading, the whereby the decoder compares the phase adjusted resonance signal 15 with a reference signal 10 to determine a phase difference which is decoded into a digital value thus retrieving the original data encoded. The phase decoder 80 may use a predetermined mapping of phase difference and digital values. A reference signal generator 10 may generate a reference signal having the same amplitude and frequency as the resonance signal. The phase encoder may comprise a binary decoder (12 fig 2) which selects an appropriate reference signal from external phase shifted reference signal sets 42. The oscillator may be decoupled from the guiding signal following completion of data writing, such that the oscillator maintains the phase adjusted output signal. The phase shift memory system may thus store and retrieve multiple information states, such as multiple bits, in and from an oscillator or oscillator array. A controller further may compensate for phase drift by periodically performing a cycle of data read/write operations, and before determining the digital value. The memory system may comprise of a single shared phase encoder/decoder and an array of data string oscillators.
