摘要

提出了一种采用65nm块体CMOS工艺制作的具有八度程调谐能力和低分数杂散的免校准分数n合成器。该合成器基于谐波混合（HM）结构，具有单位增益的量化误差传递，无需任何校准即可实现低分数杂散。为了支持八度调谐，利用环振荡器（RO）的第一级来节省抖动退化可忽略不计的面积。此外，采用可变子采样比技术放宽了对RO的调谐范围要求。测量结果表明，八度调谐合成器具有−80.7 dBc的分数杂散，71.7%的调谐范围和−254.6 dB的fmt。

A 6.8-14.4GHz Calibration-Free Fractional-N RO-Based Harmonic-Mixing Frequency Synthesizer Achieving −80.7dBc Fractional Spur

A calibration-free fractional-N synthesizer is presented with octave tuning capability and low fractional spurs, which is fabricated using a 65-nm bulk CMOS process. The synthesizer is based on the harmonic-mixing (HM) architecture, featuring a unity gain for the quantization error transfer to achieve low fractional spur without any calibration. To support octave-tuning, a ring-oscilator(RO)-based first stage is utilized to save area with negligible jitter deterioration. Moreover, a variable sub-sampling ratio technique is employed to relax the tuning range requirement for the RO. The measurements demonstrate an octave-tuning synthesizer with −80.7 dBc fractional spur, 71.7% tuning range and −254.6 dB FoMT.
