A bandwidth-enhanced fractional-N PLL through reference multiplication

The loop bandwidth of a fractional-N PLL is a desirable parameter for many applications. A wide bandwidth allows a significant attenuation of phase noise arising from the VCO. A good VCO typically requires a high Q LC oscillator. It is difficult to build an on-chip inductor with a high Q factor. In...
