초록

추가적인 부궤환 루프를 가지는 연속 미세 조절 위상 고정루프를 소개하였다. 위상고정루프가 위상이 고정되지 않았을 때 위상고정루프는 연속적인 밴드 선택 루프를 통하여 빠르게 위상을 고정시키는 특성을 가지고 있다. 위상고정루프가 고정 상태에 다다랐을 때 밴드 폭은 미세한 루프를 통해서 좁아진다. 추가적인 부궤환 루프는 안정성과 위상여유 성능을 향상시킨다. 0.18um CMOS 공정으로 제작한 위상고정루프의 결과 측정은 위상 잡음이 742.8MHz 캐리어 주파수로부터 2MHz 오프셋 주파수에서 -109.6dBc/Hz을 보여준다.

A continuous fine-tuning phase locked loop with an additional negative feedback loop has been proposed. When the phase locked loop is out-of-lock, the phase locked loop has a fast locking characteristic using the continuous band-selection loop. When the phase locked loop is near in-lock, the bandwidth is narrowed with the fine loop. The additional negative feedback loop consists of a voltage controlled oscillator, a frequency voltage converter and its internal loop filter. It serves a negative feedback function to the main phase locked loop, and improves the phase noise characteristics and the stability of the proposed phase locked loop. The additional negative feedback loop makes the continuous fine-tuning loop work stably without any voltage fluctuation in the loop filter. Measurement results of the fabricated phase locked loop in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process show that the phase noise is -109.6dBc/Hz at 2MHz offset from 742.8MHz carrier frequency.
