This paper presents a dual band frequency synthesizer for GSM and Wideband CDMA which is designed in a standard 0.13um CMOS 1P6M process. The shared components include phase frequency detector (PFD), charge pump (CP), loop filter, integer frequency divider(128/129 DMP, 4bit PC, 3bit SC) and Low noise Ring-VCO. A high-speed low power dual modulus prescaler is proposed to operate up to 2.1GHz at 3.3V supply voltage with 2mW power consumption by simulation. The simulated phase noise of VCO is -101dBc/Hz at 200kHz offset frequency from 1.9GHz.

A CMOS frequency synthesizer for $5{\sim}6$ GHz UNII-band sub-harmonic direct-conversion receiver has been developed. For quadrature down-conversion with sub-harmonic mixing, octa-phase local oscillator (LO) signals are generated by an integer-N type phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer. The complex timing issue of feedback divider of the PLL with large division ratio is solved by using multimodulus prescaler. Phase noise of the local oscillator signal is improved by employing the ring-type LC-tank oscillator and switching its tail current source. Implemented in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, the phase noise of the LO signal is lower than -80 dBc/Hz and -113 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and 1MHz offset, respect-tively. The measured reference spur is lower than -70 dBc and the power consumption is 40 m W from a 1.8 V supply voltage.

본 논문에서는 RC 시정수 회로를 포함하는 비교기를 이용해 보조 전하펌프를 제어하여 루프 필터 출력 전압 변동 폭을 최소화 하는 위상고정루프(PLL)를 제안하였다. 루프 필터의 출력 전압변화는 작은 시정수 값을 가지는 RC와 큰 시정수 값을 가지는 RC를 통해 비교기의 입력으로 각각 전달된다. 작은 시정수를 가지는 RC는 루프 필터의 신호의 변화를 빠르게 전달하는 반면 큰 시정수를 가지는 RC는 루프 필터의 신호를 매우 느리게 전달하여 일정한 크기의 전압과 같이 동작한다. 비교기의 출력 신호는 보조 전하펌프를 제어하고, 이는 전압제어발진기(VCO)의 입력 전압 변동 폭을 줄여준다. 그러므로 제안한 위상고정루프는 위상 잡음이 많이 제거된 신호를 생성한다. 제안된 위상고정 루프는 1.8V의 공급전압에서 0.18um CMOS 공정의 파라미터를 이용하여 Hspice로 시뮬레이션을 수행하고, 동작을 검증하였다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe a methodological procedure to quantify the heat production (HP) partitioning in basal metabolism or fasting heat production (FHP), heat production due to physical activity (HPA), and the thermic effect of feeding (TEF) in roosters. Methods: Eighteen 54-wk-old Hy Line Brown roosters (2.916±0.15 kg) were allocated in an open-circuit chamber of respirometry for O₂ consumption (VO₂), CO₂ production (VCO₂), and physical activity (PA) measurements, under environmental comfort conditions, following the protocol: adaptation (3 d), ad libitum feeding (1 d), and fasting conditions (1 d). The Brouwer equation was used to calculate the HP from VO₂ and VCO₂. The plateau-FHP (parameter L) was estimated through the broken line model: HP = U×(R-t)×I+L; I = 1 if t<R or I = 0 if t>R; Where the broken-point (R) was assigned as the time (t) that defined the difference between a short and long fasting period, I is conditional, and U is the decreasing rate after the feed was withdrawn. The HP components description was characterized by three events: ad libitum feeding and short and long fasting periods. Linear regression was adjusted between physical activity (PA) and HP to determine the HPA and to estimate the standardized FHP (st-FHP) as the intercept of PA = 0. Results: The time when plateau-FHP was reached at 11.7 h after withdrawal feed, with a mean value of 386 kJ/kg^0.75/d, differing in 32 kJ from st-FHP (354 kJ/kg^0.75/d). The slope of HP per unit of PA was 4.52 kJ/mV. The total HP in roosters partitioned into the st-FHP, termal effect of feeding (TEF), and HPA was 56.6%, 25.7%, and 17.7%, respectively. Conclusion: The FHP represents the largest fraction of energy expenditure in roosters, followed by the TEF. Furthermore, the PA increased the variation of HP measurements.

본 논문에서는 0.2$\mu$m CMOS 공정을 사용하여 무선 LAN 응용을 위한 이중대역 주파수 합성기를 설계하였다. 회로 설계시 저전력 특성에 중점을 두었다. 특히 VCO, 프리스케일러 등 핵심회로 설계시 전력소모를 최소화하도록 하였다. 모든 구성 소자를 on-chip화하여 외부 소자의 필요성을 제거 하였으며, 다양한 주파수에 동작이 가능하도록 외부 데이터에 의해 동작 주파수를 프로그램 한 수 있도록 하였다. 설계된 주파수 합성기의 RF 대역 동작 주파수 범위는 2.3GHz$\sim$2.7GHz이며, IF 대역 범위는 250MHz$\sim$800MHz이다. 설계된 RF 블록과 IF 블록은 2.5V의 전원으로부터 각각 5.14mA@2.5GHz와 1.08mA@0.5GHz의 적은 전류를 소모한다.

This paper describes a frequency synthesizer designed in a $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS technology for using local oscillators for the IF stages. The design is focused mainly on low-power characteristics. A simple ring-oscillator based VCO is used, where a single control signal can be used for variable resistors. The designed PLL includes all building blocks for elimination of external components, other than the crystal, and its operating frequency can be programmed by external data. It operates in the frequency range of 250MHz to 800MHz and consumes l.08mA at 500MHz from a 2.5V supply. The measured phase noise is -85dBc/Hz in-band and -105dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset. The die area is $1.09mm^2$

The voltage-controlled oscillator is one of the fundamental building blocks that determine the signal quality and power consumption in RF transceivers for wireless sensor networks. Ring oscillators are attractive owing to their small form factor and multi-phase capability despite the relatively poor phase noise performance in comparison with LC oscillators. The phase noise of a ring oscillator can be improved by using a coupled structure that works at a lower frequency. This paper introduces a 2.4 GHz low-noise ring oscillator that consists of two 3-stage coupled ring oscillators. Each sub-oscillator operates at 800 MHz, and the multi-phase signals are combined to generate a 2.4 GHz quadrature output. The voltage-controlled ring oscillator designed in a 65-nm standard CMOS technology has a tuning range of 800 MHz and exhibits the phase noise of -104 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset. The power consumption is 13.3 mW from a 1.2 V supply voltage.

This work presents a novel architecture of phase locked loop (PLL) with the current compensating scheme to improve phase noise characteristic. The proposed PLL has two charge pumps (CP), main-CP (MCP) and sub-CP (SCP). The smaller SCP current with same time duration but opposite direction of UP/DN MCP current is injected to the loop filter (LF). It suppresses the voltage fluctuation of LF. The PLL has a novel voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) consisting of a voltage controlled resistor (VCR) and the three-stage ring oscillator with latch type delay cells. The VCR linearly converts voltage into current, and the latch type delay cell has short active on-time of transistors. As a result, it improves phase noise characteristic. The proposed PLL has been fabricated with $0.35{\mu}m$ 3.3 V CMOS process. Measured phase noise at 1 MHz offset is -103 dBc/Hz resulting in 3 dBc/Hz phase noise improvement compared to the conventional PLL.
