Abstract
This paper describes implementation of the 5.0GHz RF frequency synthesizer with $0.18{\mu}m$ silicon CMOS technology being used as an application of the IEEE802.15.4 USN sensor node transceiver modules. To get good performance of speed and noise, design of the each module like VCO, prescaler, 1/N divider, fractional divider with ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulator, and common circuits of the PLL has been optimized. Especially to get good performance of speed, power consumption, and wide tuning range, N-P MOS core structure has been used in design of the VCO. The chip area including pads for testing is $1.1*0.7mm^2$, and the chip area only core for IP in SoC is $1.0*0.4mm^2$. Through comparing and analysing of the designed two kind of the frequency synthesizer, we can conclude that if we improve a litter characteristics there is no problem to use their as IPs.
