摘要: This paper presents the design and experimental results of a 1.8V fractional-N frequency synthesizer. It is implemented in standard 0.18/spl mu/m digital CMOS process. A quadrature VCO, providing 4-phase output, uses combined current varactor tuning to enable 1.18GHz range. covers entire 5-6GHz span, making it suitable for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications, especially standards defined both lower (5.15-5.35GHz) upper (5.725-5.825GHz) unlicensed bands. The synthesizer phase noise band -107dBc/Hz @ 10MHz offset, -91dBc/Hz 10MHz. measured resolution 5.05MHz, settling time 520ps. All circuitry were optimized low power consumption. For example, prescaler/divider combination consumes 4.5mW compared 19mW reported [H. R. Rategh, H. Samavati T. Lee (2000)].
