چکیده
This paper describes a 9-bit 6.2-GHz low power quadrature direct digital synthesizer (DDS) implemented in a 0.18m SiGe BiCMOS technology. With a 9-bit pipeline accumulator and two 8-bit sine-weighted current steering DACs, this DDS is capable of generating quadrature sinusoidal waveforms up to 3.15 GHz with a maximum clock frequency of 6.2 GHz. Packed with more than 13 500 transistors, the quadrature DDS occupies an active area of 2.3 2.5 mm and a total die area of 3.0 3.0 mm . The measured spurious-free dynamic range is approximately 26 dBc at a clock frequency 6.2 GHz. At the maximum clock frequency, the power consumption of the DDS is 2.5 W with 3.3and 4.0-V power supplies for the digital and analog parts, respectively. The DDS thus achieves a power efficiency figure-of-merit of 5.04 GHz/W/phase. The DDS chips were packaged with 48-pin ceramic leadless chip carriers and air cooling was used during the measurement.

متن کاملA SiGe 6 Modulus Prescaler for a 60 GHz Frequency Synthesizer
A prescaler is widely used in frequency synthesizers in order to handle channel selection. The division ratio has to be chosen carefully to achieve the desired frequency. In this paper, we present a 6 modulus prescaler in a 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The prescaler is part of a 60 GHz frequency synthesizer. In addition, we present a frequency planning for the 60 GHz frequency synthesizer. T...
