Abstract:

This article presents a calibration-free fractional-N cascaded phase-locked loop (PLL) employing a sampling phase detector (SPD)-bypass-based phase-domain oversampling noise-and-spur cancellation (P-OSNSC) technique. By incorporating an oversampling cancellation path that eliminates the gain errors and noise cancellation bandwidth limitation introduced by the SPD, the proposed architecture suppresses noise from the …
