Abstract
A fully integrated Sigma-Delta fractional-N frequency synthesizer featuring wide-band and small VCO-gain (KVCO) fluctuation is presented. To cover wide-band frequency operation for mobile DTV applications, 6-bit switched-capacitor bank LC VCO is used, and for small KVCO fluctuation, four self-controlled varactor blocks are added to conventional capacitor bank scheme. The integrated VCO tuning range is as wide as 890 MHz (65%) from 910 MHz to 1.8 GHz, which can cover all the desired frequencies for the DVB-H/ISDB-T/T-DMB receiver and achieves 52% smaller KVCO fluctuation than that of a conventional design.
