A semi-digital ΔΣ PLL without a linear TDC is designed to form a nested-loop DCO with a constant gain in the F/PLL. A frequency error caused by a time-varying phase offset in the analog control path with a long modulation period can be mitigated by the loop gain of the frequency-locked loop (FLL). A prototype two-point modulator implemented in 0.18μm CMOS achieves frequency accuracy of <;100kHzrms for >10ms modulation period, showing that the proposed F/PLL can be a useful module for accurate detection and high velocity resolution FMCW radar systems.","PeriodicalId":422369,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Radio-Frequency Integration Technology (RFIT)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116353180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
