Abstract:

This article presents a 28–38-GHz frequency tripler implemented in 55-nm SiGe BiCMOS technology with a novel on-chip background calibration technique. This technique continuously optimizes the circuit performance by maximizing output power and improving fundamental harmonic rejection. The proposed tripler achieves wideband operation and robust performance across varying operating conditions and …

A 23.4–42.1-GHz Fractional-N Synthesizer With ADC-Based Direct Phase Digitization

A 23.4–42.1-GHz Fractional-N Synthesizer With ADC-Based Direct Phase Digitization 150 150
Author(s): Hao Xu, Yizhuo Wang, Ziyang Jiao, Guoyu Li, Yiyun Mao, Shuai Liu, Yan Liu, Jimiao Sang, Qi Guo, Long Kong, Na Yan

Abstract:

A fractional-N digital phase-locked loop employs a novel analog-to-digital converter (ADC)-based phase detector (PD) to achieve direct phase digitization, thereby eliminating the need for a digital-to-time converter (DTC). The high PD gain reduces in-band phase noise, while its high linearity enables all-digital $\Sigma \Delta $ quantization noise cancellation. Implemented with …
