Abstract

In this paper, a phase locked loop structure with parallel dual loop which have a different bandwidth has been proposed. The bandwidths depending on transfer functions are obtained through dual loops. Two different bandwidths of each loop are used to suppress noise on the operating frequency range. The proposed phase locked loop has two different voltage controlled oscillator gains to control two different wide and narrow loop filters. Furthermore, it has the locking status indicator to achieve an accurate locking condition. The phase margin of $58.2^{\circ}$ for wide loop and $49.4^{\circ}$ for narrow loop is designed for stable operation and the phase margin of $45^{\circ}$ is maintained during both loops work together. It has been designed with a 1.8V 0.18um complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. The simulation results show that the proposed phase locked loop works stably and generates a target frequency.

본 논문에서는 기존의 위상 고정 루프를 병렬 형태로 이중 루프를 구성하였다. 두 개의 루프를 통해서 전달 특성에 따라 원하는 크기의 대역폭을 만든다. 대역 폭의 형태는 동작하는 주파수 대역에서 잡음을 최소화 할 수 있는 위상 고정 루프를 설계하였다. 제안한 위상고정루프는 두 가지 필터를 제어하기 위하여 두 개의 기울기 값을 가지는 전압제어 발진기를 사용하였다. 또한 정확한 위상 고정을 위하여 위상 고정 상태 표시기를 사용하였다. 전체적인 위상 고정 루프가 안정적인 동작하기 위하여 각 각의 루프가 각각 $58.2^{\circ}$, $49.4^{\circ}$의 위상 여유를 가지고 있으며 두 개의 루프를 합쳤을 때에도 $45^{\circ}$이상의 안정적인 위상 여유를 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 제안된 위상 고정 루프는 1.8V 0.18um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계 되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 이중 루프를 가지고 위상고정루프의 구조가 원하는 출력 주파수를 생성하며 안정적으로 동작하는 것을 보여 주었다.
