Design of a CMOS Frequency Synthesizer for FRS Band

A Monolithic 0.18μm 4GHz CMOS Frequency Synthesizer

A 4 GHz PLL (phase-locked loop)-type frequency synthesizer has been implemented in the standard 0.18μm mixed-signal and RF 1P6M CMOS technology. It integrates a VCO, a dual-modulus prescaler, PFD, a charge pump, a control logic, various digital counters and digital registers onto a single chip. With the help of the linear model of the loop, the design and optimization of the loop parameters are...

Low Phase Noise Cmos Pll Frequency Synthesizer Design and Analysis

Title of dissertation: LOW PHASE NOISE CMOS PLL FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER DESIGN AND ANALYSIS Xinhua He, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation directed by: Professor Robert Newcomb Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer is a critical device of wireless transceivers. It works as a local oscillator (LO) for frequency translation and chann...

A 1.35 GHz CMOS wideband frequency synthesizer for mobile communications

The design and simulation of a 1.35 GHz fully integrated CMOS frequency synthesizer for a double band receiver is presented. The proposed synthesizer is based in a wide-band PLL topology with a high reference frequency. This approach allows obtaining low phase noise, fast switching time, a low divider ratio and a reduction in the total chip area. Besides, the use of a novel charge-pump circuit ...

A CMOS Frequency Synthesizer Block for MB - OFDM UWB Systems

Chang-Wan Kim et al. 437 A CMOS frequency synthesizer block for multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultrawideband systems is proposed. The proposed frequency synthesizer adopts a double-conversion architecture for simplicity and to mitigate spur suppression requirements for out-of-band interferers in 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Moreover, the frequency synthesizer can consist of the f...
