Title
A low-noise frequency synthesizer for infrastructure applications
Abstract
A 2.2 GHz fully integrated SiGe-BiCMOS frequency synthesizer embedding a low-noise VCO and targetting infrastructure applications is presented. A differential Colpitts VCO forms the core of the synthesizer. An initial open-loop calibration which stores the center frequencies of all VCO sub-bands in a RAM obviates the need for incremental calibration. The synthesizer has multiple out-of-loop dividers to synthesize frequencies less than the VCO frequency.
