A fractional-N frequency synthesizer for 433/868MHz SRD applications is implemented in a 0.3μm CMOS process. A wide-band VCO and an AFC are used to cover the desired bands. A 3bit third order sigma-delta modulator is adopted to reduce the out-band phase noise. The measurements show a VCO tuning range from 1.31 to 1.88GHz with AFC working correctly,an out-band phase noise of -139dBc/Hz at 3MHz offset frequency, and a fractional spur of less than - 60dBc. The chip area is 1.5mm × 1.2mm and the total current dissipation including LO buffers is 19mA from a single 3.0V supply voltage.
分析了无线通信分数分频频率合成器的关键模块ΣΔ调制器(SDM)的设计方法,并提出了一种系数能用移位产生的简单高效的单环3阶3位量化SDM结构。该电路采用标准0.18μm CM O S工艺实现,电源电压1.8 V,内部使用24位总线,在工作频率为16MH z时,可到达的频率分辨率为8 H z,结果表明它的带外噪声平坦、输出位宽窄,优于同阶级联ΣΔ结构。
