A phase-locked dielectric resonator oscillator (PLDRO) is an essential component of millimeter-wave communication, in which phase noise is critical for satisfactory performance. The general structure of a PLDRO typically includes a dual loop of digital phase-locked loop (PLL) and analog PLL. A dual-loop PLDRO structure is generally used. The digital PLL generates an internal voltage controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) frequency locked to an external reference frequency, and the analog PLL loop generates a DRO frequency locked to an internal VCXO frequency. A dual loop is used to ease the phase-locked frequency by using an internal VCXO. However, some of the output frequencies in each PLL structure worsen the phase noise because of the N divider ratio increase in the digital phase-locked loop integrated circuit. This study examines the design aspects of an interconnected PLL structure. In the proposed structure, the voltage tuning; which uses a varactor diode for the phase tracking of VCXO to match with the external reference) port of the VCXO in the digital PLL is controlled by one output port of the frequency divider in the analog PLL. We compare the proposed scheme with a typical PLDRO in terms of phase noise to show that the proposed structure has no performance degradation.

In this paper, we propose a frequency synthesizer for dualband repeater. The dual-band RF technology for applications to the wireless repeater for CDMA and WCDMA mobile communications has been developed in this paper. The dualband PLL module consisted of dual-band VCO and one PLL IC has been developed. The main technological efforts for the dual-band PLL module is to suppress the intermodulation distortion by applying the miniature ceramic filter using the slow wave characteristics. The dual-band miniature RF module including dual-band PLL module and one MCU controller is very attractive for applications to the miniature dual-band RF mobile repeaters.

This paper proposes a high speed frequency synthesizer with dual phase-locked loop(PLL) structure to improve phase noise level and shape in a wideband receiver. To reduce phase noise and fractional spur, a output frequency of $1^{st}$ PLL used as reference frequency of $2^{nd}$ PLL is changed. The frequency synthesizer has been designed with 1 Hz frequency resolution using digital NCO in 6.5~8.5 GHz wide spectrum. The measured results of the fabricated frequency synthesizer show that the output power is about -3 dBm, the maximum lock-in time and phase noise are within 60 us and -95 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, respectively.

A novel fast locking dual-loop integer-N phase locked loop(PLL) with adaptive bandwidth scheme is presented. When the PLL is out-of-lock, bandwidth becomes much wider than 1/10 of channel spacing with the wide bandwidth loop. When the PLL is near in-lock, bandwidth becomes narrower than 1/10 of channel spacing with the narrow bandwidth loop. The proposed PLL is designed based on a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process with a 3.3V supply voltage. Simulation results show the fast look time of $50{\mu}s$ for an 80MHz frequency jump in a 200KHz channel spacing PLL with almost 14 times wider bandwidth than the channel spacing.

In this paper, we introduce a charge pump phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture which employs a precharge phase frequency detector (PFD) and a sequential PFD to achieve a high frequency operation and a fast acquisition. Operation frequency is increased by using the precharge PFD when the phase difference is within $-{\pi}{\sim}{\pi}$ and acquisition time is shortened by using the sequential PFD and the increased charge pump current when the phase difference is larger than ${\pm}{\pi}$. So error detection range of the proposed PLL structure is not limited to $-{\pi}{\sim}{\pi}$ and a high frequency operation and a higher speed lock-up time can be achieved. The proposed PLL was designed using 1.5 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology with 5V supply voltage to verify the lock in process. The proposed PLL shows successful acquisition for 200 MHz input frequency. On the other hand, the conventional PLL with the sequential PFD cannot operate at up to 160MHz. Moreover, the lock-up time is drastically reduced from 7.0 ${\mu}s\;to\;2.0\;{\mu}s$ only if the loop bandwidth to input frequency ratio is regulated by the divide-by-4 counter during the acquisition process. By virtue of this dual PFDs, the proposed PLL structure can improve the trade-off between acquisition behavior and locked behavior.
