LOW-VOLTAGE CMOS RF FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZERS
A frequency synthesizer is one of the most critical building blocks in any wireless
transceiver system. Its design is getting more and more challenging as the demand
for low-voltage low-power high-frequency wireless systems continuously grows.
As the supply voltage is decreased, many existing design techniques are no longer
applicable. This book provides the reader with architectures and design techniques
that enable CMOS frequency synthesizers to operate at low supply voltages, at high
frequencies with good phase noise and with low power consumption. In addition
to updating the reader on many of these techniques in depth, this book will also
introduce useful guidelines and step-by-step procedures on behaviour simulations of
frequency synthesizers. Finally, three essfully demonstrated CMOS synthesizer
prototypes with detailed design consideration and description will be presented to
illustrate potential applications of the architectures and design techniques described.
The book is intended for engineers, managers and researchers who are working or
interested in radio-frequency integrated-circuit design for wireless applications.
