Abstract

This paper describes a 3 to 5GHz frequency synthesizer for MB-OFDM (multi-band OFDM) UWB (Ultra- Wideband) application using 0.13um CMOS process. The frequency synthesizer operates in the band group1 whose center frequencies are 3432MHz, 3960MHz, and 4488MHz. To cover the overall frequencies of group 1, an efficient frequency planning minimizing a number of blocks and the power consumption are proposed. And, a high-frequency VCO and LO Mixer architecture are also presented in this paper. A new mixed coarse tuning scheme that utilizes the MIM capacitance, the varactor arrays, and the DAC is proposed to expand the VCO tuning range. The frequency synthesizer can also provide the clock for the ADC in baseband modem. So, the PLL for the ADC in the baseband modem can be removed with this frequency synthesizer. The single PLL and two SSB-mixers consume 60mW from a 1.2V supply. The VCO tuning range is 1.2GHz. The simulated phase noise of the VCO is -110dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset. The die area is 3 × 2mm2.
