Abstract:
This paper presents an overview of frequency synthesizers for RF transceivers. Commonly used architectures are discussed as well as their most challenging building blocks, i.e. the VCO and the high-speed frequency dividers. High performance PLLs demand optimal technology processes. Technology requirements will be indicated during the discussions.
