چکیده
The evolution of CMOS technology demands new approaches to implement radio-frequency integrated circuits. This paper presents two digital-intensive frequency synthesizers implemented in 65-nm CMOS: a digital period frequency synthesizer and an all-digital phase-locked loop. The experimental circuits cover frequency ranges of 0.1 4.3 GHz and 2.7 6.1 GHz.

متن کاملFPGA Implementation of a Hammerstein Based Digital Predistorter for Linearizing RF Power Amplifiers with Memory Effects
Power amplifiers (PAs) are inherently nonlinear elements and digital predistortion is a highly cost-effective approach to linearize them. Although most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity, memory effects of the PAs in many applications ,such as wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) or orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), can no longer b...
