چکیده

A low-power fully-integrated type-2 4'h-order 1.7GHz CMOS frequency synthesizer for DCS1800 application is designed and simulated in a 0.25pm process technology. The frequency switching is achieved using a novel architecture exploiting a direct digital synthesis (DDS) device as the frequency reference. The new topology significantly lowers the undesired sideband power due to divider ratio switching by directly shifting the frequency of the DDS reference. The frequency synthesizer (excluding the DDS device) dissipates only 9mW of power from a 2V power supply. It employs a fast-switching novel charge pump circuit and a low-noise fully-integrated differential LC voltage controlled oscillator using on-chip spiral inductors and accumulation-mode capacitors to meet the requirements of a DCS1800 system. A detailed analysis of the phase noise in tlie 4'horder loop is presented.

A Low-Power 24-GHz Frequency Synthesizer for Automotive Radar Application

We proposed a 24-GHz frequency synthesizer (FS) for automotive radar application, which consists of a phaselocked loop (PLL) and an injection-locked frequency multiplier (ILFM). Based on a novel topology, the multiply-by2 ILFM consists of a double-balanced mixer and an injectionlocked oscillator (ILO). The PLL is designed with a 12-GHz voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and an injection-locked...
