Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CMOS Fractional-N Synthesizers starts with a comprehensive introduction to general frequency synthesis. Different architectures and synthesizer building blocks are discussed with their relative importance on synthesizer specifications. The process of synthesizer specification derivation is illustrated with the DCS-1800 standard as a general test case. The book tackles the design of fractional-N synthesizers in CMOS on circuit level as well as system level. The circuit level focuses on high-speed prescaler design up to 12 GHz in CMOS and on fully integrated, low-phase-noise LC-VCO design. High-Q inductor integration and simulation in CMOS is elaborated and flicker noise minimization techniques are presented, ranging from bias point choice to noise filtering techniques. On a higher level, a systematic design strategy has been developed that trades off all noise contributions and fast dynamics for integrated capacitance (area). Moreover, a theoretical DeltaSigma phase noise analysis is presented, extended with a fast non-linear analysis method to accurately predict the influence of PLL non-linearities on the spectral purity of the DeltaSigma fractional-N frequency synthesizers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A frequency synthesizer is a control system which employs a reference signal from a component, such as a crystal oscillator, with excellent phase and frequency stability to synthesize higher frequencies with similarly desirable characteristics. Such a control system is at the heart of many communication schemes. Due to the digital circuitry used in frequency synthesis, it is relatively straightforward to synthesize frequencies at integer multiples of the reference signal frequency. A synthesizer which achieves this is called an integer-N frequency synthesizer. The main challenge in the design of integer-N synthesizers is to reduce phase noise introduced by circuitry while achieving a needed frequency resolution. Noise can be spectrally spread by conversions in the loop which are non-linear, so the strategy to reduce noise is two-fold. Control-loop and circuit design techniques can be used to reduce device noise, but it is also important to make sure that the noise performance is not degraded by spectral spreading within the loop. This thesis addresses primarily the latter approach with the design and implementation of circuits targeting a specific conversion within the loop. Frequency resolution of a synthesizer can be improved by introducing additional circuitry and complexity. This additional complexity makes it possible to multiply the reference frequency by a fractional number and thus achieve higher frequency resolution. A control system which achieves this is called a fractional-N frequency synthesizer. The cost associated with the increased frequency resolution is a form of noise that is deterministic called spurious noise. This spurious noise can also be spread and amplified by non-linear conversions in the control loop. A quantitative understanding of the magnitude of this noise that is not readily available in the literature was developed in this research. A comparison between several implementations of integrated frequency synthesis was also carried out in this research with the intent of providing guidelines to produce a better performing synthesizer. These implementations differ in key components of the loop where linearity is of particular importance.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wireless communication market has been growing rapidly in recent decades. The frequency synthesizer is a key building block in wireless transceivers. It is used as a local oscillator for frequency translation and channel selection. In this thesis, we provide a brief review of PLL frequency synthesizers. A simulation environment for delta-sigma fractional-N frequency synthesizers is built using Verilog-AMS. The digital delta-sigma modulator is modeled as a finite state machine in order to evaluate how the performance of a frequency synthesizer is affected by the cyclic behavior of the DDSM. In addition, jitter and nonlinearities are considered and added to the model. The spur-minimizing effect of an odd initial condition on the first accumulator of a MASH delta-sigma modulator is demonstrated. A noise reduction technique for a fractional-N frequency synthesizer using a multiphase voltage-controlled oscillator is proposed. We have shown that both in-band and out-of-band phase noise can be reduced by 6 dB for every two-fold increase in the number of phases. The multi-phase VCO is also applied in a dual-loop frequency synthesizer. We show that this dual loop frequency synthesizer achieves a similar power spectrum but with superior frequency resolution compared to a conventional dual-loop frequency synthesizer. We have built an experimental platform based on a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA board and have used it to confirm the theoretical analysis and simulations. In order to reduce the hardware consumption of a digital delta-sigma modulator, and consequently the power and area consumption, we propose a reduced complexity architecture which can achieve similar spectral performance compared with a conventional DDSM but with up to 20% lower hardware consumption. We have elaborated a rigorous design methodologies based on this idea of error masking. Individual design strategies are derived for MASH DDSMs and SQ DDSMs, both with and without dither.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Circuit and system techniques for reducing phase noise in frequency synthesizers, and cancelling phase noise effect in quadrature receivers are presented. Phase noise performance of digital phase-locked loops (PLLs) is limited by the time resolution of time-to-digital converters (TDC). In contrast to TDCs in the past that concentrate on the arrival time difference between the divider feedback edge and the reference signal edge. Our approach extracts the timing information that is embedded in voltage domain. This approach not only achieves a higher time resolution, lower phase noise, but also consumes less power. A digital background calibration circuit is also presented to reduce the output spurious tones when the digital PLL operates under fractional-N divisions. Ring Oscillators (ROs) have the advantage of small area, wide tuning range, and multiphase output. However, their higher phase noise and higher sensitivity to supply noise may seriously deteriorate the wanted signal in wireless receivers. To circumvent this non-ideality, a low overhead phase noise cancellation technique for ring oscillator-based quadrature receivers is presented. The proposed technique operates in background and extracts ring oscillator phase noise as well as supply-induced phase noise from the digital PLL. The obtained phase noise information is then used to restore the randomly rotated baseband signal in digital domain. In recent years, the unsilenced band at 57~64 GHz frequency range has motivated the building of high-data rate radio systems targeting wireless personal area network (WPAN) applications. To address this demand, a low-noise wide-band integer-N PLL is presented which serves as the carrier generator of a 60 GHz heterogeneous transceiver. The PLL employs sub-sampling phase detection technique to achieve low-noise performance, and provides 48 GHz LO and 12 GHz IF carrier signals for the heterogeneous transceiver.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delta-sigma fractional-N phase-locked loops are used to generate high quality radio-frequency signals for use in wireless applications. To reduce the phase noise inherent to these systems, a digital-to-analog converter is used to cancel the error introduced by the fractional division process, however matching between the digital-to-analog converter and the phase-locked loop circuitry place a limit on the amount of phase noise reduction that can be achieved. Furthermore, circuit non-linearity results in the appearance of spurious tones in the phase-locked loop output. This dissertation outlines a calibration technique, and a digital quantization technique that provide solutions to these two problems. The calibration technique results in improved phase noise performance by adjusting the digital-to-analog converter gain, and thus providing better matching between the phase-locked loop circuitry and digital-to-analog converter. The digital quantization technique results in no spurious tones when specified non-linearity is applied to the quantizer output sequence and error. The calibration technique was implemented in an integrated circuit, which achieves state-of-the-art performance when compared to currently published phase-locked loops and allows for all circuitry to be integrated onto a single chip. Chapter 1 presents the calibration technique, as well as a theoretical analysis of the stability. Chapter 2 presents details on the digital quantization technique, and a mathematical proof of the absence of spurious tones. In chapter 3, results from an implemented circuit are presented, which verify the behaviour of the technique presented in chapter 1.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation contains three parts. In the first part, the analysis and circuits of a jittercleaning fractional-N frequency synthesizer is presented. In the second part, a low phase noise and low I/Q mismatch quadrature VCO is presented. In the third part, a low phase noise digital PLL is presented. For the first part, the design utilizes a dual-loop architecture, which is suitable for integration in an SoC environment. The primary loop is a digital PLL with a second-order noise shaping phase-error ADC. The secondary loop is a fractional-N PLL implementing the digitally controlled oscillator inside the primary loop, and it locks to an external clean reference clock to reduce the phase noise and to improve the frequency stability of the on-chip oscillator. For the second part, a tail-tank coupling technique that combines two complementary differential LC-VCOs to form a quadrature LC-VCO is presented. This technique reduces phase noise by providing additional energy storages for noise redistribution and by canceling out most of the noise injected by transistors when they operate in the triode region. The resulting noise factor is close to the theoretical minimum value. For the third part, a 2.8 to 3.2 GHz fractional-N digital PLL is presented. A divider with two-stage retiming improves linearity to reduce fractional spurs without increasing the in-band noise floor. An ADC is employed to boost TDC resolution by five times to achieve 2 ps effective resolution. A dither-less DCO with an inductively coupled fine-tune varactor bank improves tuning step-size to 20 kHz. With a 52 MHz reference clock and a loop-bandwidth of 950 kHz, this prototype achieves 230 fs rms jitter integrated from 1 kHz to 40 MHz offset while drawing 17 mW from a 1.8V supply. A FOM of -240.4 dB is achieved.
