With an adaptive bandwidth,the proposed PLL can scale its loop dynamics proportional to the output frequency and maintain optimal performance over its entire output range. In order to improve the jitter performance of the PLL,a matching tech- nique is employed in the charge pump,and a voltage-to-voltage converter is used to achieve a low gain VCO. The experimental chip was fabricated in a 0. 35μm CMOS process. The measured results show that the PLL has perfect jitter performance within its operating range from 200MHz to 1.1GHz.展开更多

In order to achieve a low Kvco variation, an extra switched varactor array was added to the LC tank with the conventional switched capacitor array. Based on the proposed switched varactor array compensation technique, the measured Kvco is 43 MHz/V with only 6.29% variation across the entire tuning range. The proposed VCO provides a tuning range of 23.7% from 3.01 to 3.82 GHz, while consuming 9 mA of quiescent current from a 2.3 V supply. The VCO shows a low phase noise of-121.94 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset, from the 3.6 GHz carrier.展开更多
