چکیده
In this paper, a programmable phase-locked-loop (PLL)-based fractional-N frequency synthesizer, with the capacity of automatically adjusting the nominal frequency of voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is presented. The monolithic wideband VCO, with digital and analog control, is capable of operating from 1.6GHz to 2.5GHz. Analog control voltage is only varied from 0.8V to 1.2 V to improve the linearity of varactors in submicron process. The synthesizer is, designed in UMC 0.18um RF process, consumes 30.8mW. Key Word: Fractional-N frequency synthesizer, self-calibration, wideband VCO

متن کاملA Novel Three-Point Modulation Technique for Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizer Applications
This paper presents a novel three-point modulation technique for fractional-N frequency synthesizer applications. Convention modulated fractional-N frequency synthesizers suffer from quantization noise, which degrades not only the phase noise performance but also the modulation quality. To solve this problem, this work proposes a three-point modulation technique, which not only cancels the quan...

متن کاملQuantization Noise Cancellation of Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizers Using Pre-distortion Technique
This work proposes a novel pre-distortion technique for the quantization noise cancellation of fractional-N frequency synthesizers. The proposed technique utilizes the coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) algorithm to pre-distort the baseband signal of a wireless system with the quantization noise. The pre-distorted signal then modulates the noisy output signal of the fractional-N freq...
