Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 電子工程學研究所 === 103 === A frequency synthesizer with a phase noise reduction technique is presented. By the property that the phase noise of an opened-loop delay is smaller than that of a closed-loop delay, an analog delay line is employed to improve the phase noise of a ring oscillator. The proposed phase-locked loop (PLL) can suppress the noise beyond the PLL loop bandwidth. Fabricated in a 0.18μm CMOS technology, for a 32-kHz input frequency, the 1-GHz PLL with a ring oscillator can generate an output with the phase noise -83 dBc/Hz at a 100-kHz frequency offset, which is more than 10 dB suppression. The clock generator consumes 17.64 mW from a 1.8-V power supply.
