چکیده
This paper presents a low power CMOS frequency synthesizer for GPS application that can support multiple reference clocks. The frequency synthesizer has fractional-N phase locked loop structure with sigma-delta modulator to allow multiple reference clock frequencies. The measured phase noise is -126dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from the carrier. This chip is fabricated with 0.18 m CMOS technology, and the die area of the frequency synthesizer is 1.1mm x 1.05mm. The power consumption is 18mW at 1.8V supply voltage.
